History YMMV / SpongeBobSquarePantsS4E2TheLostMattressKrabsVsPlankton

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Richard A. Bottomfeeder is one of the show's more popular one-off characters, both for his memorable PunnyName and for actually averting many of the typical AmbulanceChaser tropes that usually gets applied to such characters.
* FridgeLogic: In real life, a court case's title lists the name of the plaintiff before the name of the defendant. And since Plankton is the one suing, shouldn't the title of the episode be "Plankton vs. Krabs"?

!!The Lost Mattress
* HilariousInHindsight: Mr. Krabs is in a cash coma? [[VideoGame/PriPara Hmmm...]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mr. Krabs. [[BlackAndGrayMorality Even if Plankton was faking his injuries, Krabs has shown in the past, present, and future to be criminally negligent in the restaurant to save a buck.]] This episode could've at least served as a wake up call to him to be a little less stingy for long term benefits, but instead he's let off scot-free and he continues to cut corners in later episodes in even more blatant and criminal ways.

* {{Glurge}}: Utilized InUniverse. Aside from pretending to be a WheelchairWoobie after he fakes his injuries, Plankton resorts to using a sob story to win the court's sympathy, even when he [[PaperThinDisguise visibly breaks character]]. In spite of trying to maintain a calm and collected demeanor when he takes up the role of Mr. Krabs' attorney, [[NotSoAboveItAll even SpongeBob falls for it]].
