    Eh... it's an okay episode. I've seen better. But it has it's moments. I don't think that it was that weird that Plankton fell in love with Mrs. Krabs. He probably just wanted a break from Karen. In this episode, we find out that Karen isn't actually his wife. She's actually a WIFE which stands for.........Wired

    Yeah. I don't know what it means either. There are a few funny scenes in this episode, though. Like when Spongebob yelled his name because everyone was surprinsingly saying each others names. Also, when Spongebob said: And this devishlly hansome sponge is your waiter. I give this episode a C-. Pretty good, but could be better.moreless

    Enemy-in-Law: This episode was the worst Plankton episode to me. I mean,why would Plankton start dating Mr.Krabs' mother? I didn't like this plot at all. I hated Mama Krabs' new voice, she sounds terrible with an Irish accent. I also hated Mr.Krabs in this episode and how he told Plankton that his mother knew the formula. I also didn't like a lot of the jokes in this episode, with the exception of the hat gag, I thought that bit was funny. I also loathed the ending, it felt too ridiculous. Overall, I didn't like this episode, and it's my least favorite season four episode.moreless

  • This episode creeped me out because of the idea of Plankton and Mama Krabs dating each other but I had absolutely no problems with this episode so it most certainly deserves a perfect score from a huge SpongeBob fan like me.moreless

    I thought that this was a very well done episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". I had no problems with this episode so I give a perfect score and also because I am a huge SpongeBob fan. The idea of Plankton and Mama Krabs dating each other did creep me out because why would Plankton very young date an elderly Mama Krabs (a.k.a. Mr. Krabs' mom)?. I thought it was funny when Plankton used that huge robot to force the citizens of Bikini Bottom to eat at the Chum Bucket. It was funny when Mr. Krabs had SpongeBob swallow his wallet. It was hilarious when Plankton was breathing on the telephone and then Mama Krabs says "I'm hanging up". It was very funny when SpongeBob got excited when Mr. Krabs told him that he is working overtime. I thought SpongeBob being a waiter was hilarious. I also thought that this was hilarious when Mr. Krabs says "Plankton" then Plankton says "Krabs" then Mama Krabs says "Eugene" then Mr. Krabs says "Mommy" then Plankton says "Mommy?" then SpongeBob says "SpongeBob" and Mr. Krabs says "SpongeBob". It was also funny when SpongeBob said "and this devilishly handsome sponge is your waiter". I thought it was funny that Mama Krabs cheated on Plankton for that robot. It was hilarious when Mama Krabs has the big muscles with fire tanks inside them to punch Plankton. The ending was also funny when Karen turned back on and zapped Plankton. Overall, it is creepy to me that Plankton and Mama Krabs are dating but this episode was very funny, well written, and I do consider it one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes. 10/10moreless
