Just the other night I caught this episode on, and at first I thought it was going to suck, but I was proven very wrong. The plot is Plankton is trying to impress Karen for their anniversary after forgetting their anniversary, and Spongebob comes along to help him out. Spongebob has to help Plankton in wooing Karen again to win her love. I loved how Spongebob wasn't a complete moron like in the recent seasons, and did everything he could to help Plankton. I also loved the song done by Plankton toward the end. I thought it was sweet and beautiful, and even though it was a little cheesy it was still great. I also was laughing in this episode. There was actual humor in this episode, and while it wasn't laugh out loud funny it can give you a good laugh. Especially the mariachi band scene. The ending was great as well, and it made me laugh. This is what I have been waiting for in a Spongebob episode since season 3. A great plot, characters not being annoying or stupid, and actual humor. The writers need to really do more episodes like this. It also gives me some hope that Spongebob can have more episodes like this and redeem the show. Even though I don't really watch this show anymore, this is one of the very few episodes of the recent seasons of Spongebob I will watch.moreless

It had some thing that I would have changed, but mostly it panned out nicely.

One of two things bothered me, A) "The smell of failure", was that really a necessary?, and was is really a joke that needed 1-2 minutes of screen time?
And the other is the Louve?,Loave, loove, Love? joke.
It doesn't really get any laughs and just wastes 30 seconds that could have been more productive.

OK, the cons are outta the way, now for the Pros!
I liked the one on one talk between Spongebob and Plankton.
"Love Emergency!"
A great joke that hails back to about, say, season 4.

The song was another high light and I loved the mother-in-law gag at the end!moreless

In this episode, Plankton and Karen's anniversry is today, and as a present Karen got Plankton the Krabby Patty secret formula. However, Plankton hasn't gotten Karen anything so she refuses to give Plankton his gift until he gets her a present from the heart. Spongebob soon learns of Plankton's deliemma and agrees to help Plankton, by helping him write here a song. Will Plankton's song succeed and will he finally get the formula? This was a great episode, probablly the best of season 7 yet. I didn't care for the ending (although I did like Spongebob's line "Yay, your wife blew up") which is why the score isn't higher. Overall, a very good episode worth watching. 9/10 A-moreless

I thought that this was a perfect episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". I thought Karen washing Plankton in the beginning of the episode was hilarious. It was very funny when SpongeBob told Plankton that he was in a "Love Emergency". Plankton telling SpongeBob everything about Karen was pretty funny. It was very funny when SpongeBob was helping Plankton practicing singing as part of Karen's anniversary present and it was funny that Plankton sang so loud that he broke Sandy's air helmet. It was good to see Sandy's cameo appearance in this episode by the way. It was hilarious when SpongeBob said "The music comes from the inside" and then Plankton says "Why are so obsessed with my internal organs?". I loved the song that Plankton sang for Karen as part of her anniversary present which was called "Oh My Karen". It was very funny when Karen was crying so much that she was breaking down. Oh my gosh!!! It was so gosh darn hilarious when SpongeBob said "Yes, I'm saved, you're wife exploded". Karen turning into the Emergency Mother-in-Law program at the end of the episode was very funny. Overall, a perfect episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants".moreless
