    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After losing his brain, Patrick says "M-O-O-N spells moon". Bill Fagerbakke, who voices Patrick, also played Tom Cullen in the 1994 mini-series, "The Stand", and Tom Cullen would often say "M-O-O-N spells moon" as a catch-phrase.
    • Goofs
      Mr. Krabs ans Mrs. Puff are not only not dating but they haven't known each other for 14 years. Also Mrs. Puff barely even remembers who Mr. Krabs is.
    • Quotes

      Squidward Tentacles: Too long have I suffered living between you two ninnies! But now, now as Doctor Negative, I shall finally exact my exquisite revenge!

      [He laughs maniacally. Another cathartic moment for Squidward is at hand]

    Good and bad kinda cancel

    The thing that most informs this rating for me is that Spongebob and Patrick are both intentionally and unintentionally jerks at various points in these episodes, which is annoying. Whirly Brains doesn't really stand out; some funny jokes, nothing too memorable. It's a little odd that they brought in Ed Asner for the small role he plays. MermaidPants has a good concept with the gang pretend-playing as superheroes and villains, and it's particularly fun to see Mr. Krabs and Squidward pretending(?) to be villains. Ultimately, some jokes land, some jokes don't.
