First and Last Aid
Original air date: 9/30/2022
Upset by his lack of care towards the campers' injuries, Mrs. Puff gets Mr. Krabs to hire a camp nurse. Said nurse goes to extreme measures to prevent the accident-prone SpongeBob from hurting himself.
"First and Last Aid" contains examples of:
- Bilingual Bonus: Nurse Helga refers to SpongeBob as "ungeschickt", which means clumsy.
- Dagwood Sandwich: Krabs takes out an enormous sandwich from his lunchbox, then squishes it down to a smaller size.
- Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: When Mr. Krabs pushes down the bumps on SpongeBob's head, they play the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.
- Is It Something You Eat?: SpongeBob doesn't know what first aid is and mistakes it for a drink, like lemonade.
- No Sympathy: Krabs reacts to any of the campers' injuries with telling them to "walk it off." Mrs. Puff doesn't stand for it.
- Noodle Incident: SpongeBob tells Krabs that "his leg came off again" while he was playing on the jungle gym. While he's had many Amusing Injuries throughout the episode, we never saw his leg come off before.
- Pun-Based Title: On "first aid".
- Safety Worst: Nurse Helga's attempts to keep SpongeBob safe include tying a rope to him when he goes on a zipline, wrapping him in bubble wrap before he goes to play baseball, and reducing him to safe games like checkers before eventually settling on nothing at all.
Night of the Living Stench
Original air date: 9/30/2022
To save money on soap, Krabs lies about a "Stinkiest Camp in the Forest Award", encouraging the kids to be as dirty as possible. Squidward is the only one not in on it, and has to fend for his life to stay clean.
"Night of the Living Stench" contains examples of:
- Bittersweet Ending: Squidward actually wins the Filthiest Camper at the end, despite being the only one who wasn't going for it. Still, it's not exactly something he'd be proud to win.
- Comically Missing the Point: When Sandy detects Squidward "at 7:00", referring to his location, Patrick glances at his watch and comments that it's only 3:30.
- Improbable Weapon User: Squidward attacks the filthy campers by hooking his clarinet up to a soap dispenser to spray soapy water at them.
- Real After All: While the "stinkiest camp" award is just something Krabs makes up on a whim to save money, at the end of the episode, a forest ranger shows up to deliver the trophy.
- Thing-O-Meter: Sandy uses a Stink-O-Meter to detect bad scents and sniff out where Squidward is.
