    • Trivia
      After SpongeBob explains how great old people are, there's a live-action shot of an old guy in a captain's hat giving a thumbs-up. This is Don Newhouse, a parking lot security guard for Nickelodeon. He would later appear as a Nickelodeon security guard in the "Slime Day" segment of Slime Day/Boog Zapper (2012), and was the model for the "Old Kid" character in Hyökkääjä Zim (2001).
    • Goofs
      When Spongebob and Patrick pull out donuts to "unite", Patrick is clearly seen to pickup a donut, leaving the chocolate one in the box. When they "unite" he is shown having a half eaten chocolate donut. The switch continues to repeats throughout the show.
    • Quotes

      Squidward: Let me guess, tiny. A small salad?

      Bubblebass: I want a Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, four-by-four animal style; an extra side of shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze; light axle grease, make it cry, burn it and let it swim.

      Squidward: We serve food here, sir.

    Episode 6: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy/Pickles
    These episodes were good. But after Pizza Delivery, I expected more of these.

    "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" This episode has some very funny parts like when SpongeBob re-enacts a battle the heroes had with Man Ray and when SpongeBob and Patrick pretend Squidward is a villain. However, many of the other MM+BB episodes were better, especially when Barnacle Boy is evil. But it's still great. 9/10 "Pickles" A fish named Bubble Bass comes to the Krusty Krab one day and claims that SpongeBob forgot the pickles on his Krabby Patty. SpongeBob now can't remember how to make the formula after his screw-up, and soon he can't remember how to do anything. This episode is very clever, but I don't see why Bubble Bass is such a jerk to Squidward. I love the car keys gag, though. 9/10

    9/10 (whole episode)
