Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob and Patrick promote the Krusty Krab.

"The Good Krabby Name" contains examples of:

  • Goofy Suit: SpongeBob wears a Krabby Patty costume as one of the ways he promotes the Krusty Krab.
  • Series Continuity Error: Some of the fish in the pictures on the "Those who have not eaten here" wall have actually been seen inside the Krusty Krab in past episodes. Though it's possible it takes place before those episodes.
  • Stalker without a Crush: It shown that Mr. Krabs spends most of his time spying on the people he knows haven't eaten at the Krusty Krab.
  • Tempting Fate: At one point, a fish claims that if he sees the words "Krusty Krab" one more time, he's gonna scream. Afterwards, a blimp falls in front of him spelling the words "Krusty Krab", and he promptly does so in front of SpongeBob and Patrick.

Move It or Lose It

Original air date: 10/21/2012 (produced in 2011)

Mr. Krabs and Plankton circulate petitions about the bulldozing of a Bikini Bottom restaurant.

"Move It or Lose It" contains examples of:

  • Bribing Your Way to Victory: Plankton manages to collect enough signatures on his petition by paying people money. He even manages to pay Mr. Krabs four times for his signature.
  • Exorcist Head: After Plankton announces that he's giving away free money, a few fish turn their heads at a 360 degree angle.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: SpongeBob unwittingly gives Plankton the idea of paying people to sign his petition.
  • Pass the Popcorn: Plankton sits in a theater seat and eats popcorn as he watches the Slate Officer bulldoze the Krusty Krab.
  • Poor Communication Kills: The entire episode, or at least most of it, could have been averted had the Slate Officer been more specific when he said one of the restaurants had to be bulldozed.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
    • When Mr. Krabs places SpongeBob and Squidward to collect signatures for his petition, Squidward promptly drops his clipboard and leaves.
    • Later, when Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob chain themselves to the Krusty Krab to prevent the Slate Officer from bulldozing it, it is revealed that Squidward went back to his house to drink tea.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Plankton actually succeeds in preventing the Chum Bucket from getting bulldozed, and SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are unable to stop the Slate Officer from bulldozing the Krusty Krab despite their best efforts. In the end, it's revealed that the Slate Officer never had any intention of destroying the Krusty Krab, and only pushed it one more foot so it would comply with the new 100-foot law.
