Summer Job is the second segment of the 136th episode from the 7th season of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Plot
To pay off the damage, Mrs. Puff works with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab.
Why It Doesn't Deserve A Summer Job
- For starters, this is a very mean-spirited torture episode directed toward Mrs. Puff, as she is forced to work with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab, and gets arrested later on in the episode (See WIS#6 below).
- SpongeBob is infuriatingly annoying in this one. The ending also begs the question: how can SpongeBob be a driving teacher if he can’t drive?!
- Mr. Krabs is very unlikeable here, he is badly flanderized by blackmailing his girlfriend, and they act like they never met each other before, thus making "Krusty Love" (a good episode) pointless.
- The whole thing could’ve been avoided if SpongeBob simply waited for a note. Oh, and he gets away with making Mrs. Puff crash into the Krusty Krab! And worst of all, he gets no comeuppance for his horrid actions!
- Calculation Error: Mrs. Puff says that she will be in jail for 2,529 days, which is "four years without SpongeBob". When in reality, 2,529 days is roughly 6.9 years, which is seven years in jail. So she should’ve said, "Seven years without SpongeBob".
- How did Mrs. Puff land in jail in the first place? She finally snaps... and then she litters. This shows how strict and unlikable and useless the Bikini Bottom police are.
- Awful Ending: Mrs. Puff is in 4 years (technically 7 years) all for littering, and she must take a driver's course and somehow SpongeBob is the teacher although he can't drive.
Redeeming Qualities
- Mrs. Puff, as usual with these torture porns, is a likable character.
- This can be seen as a breather episode, as that huge infamous episode comes after this one.
- SpongeBob pretending to be Yukthomas Féyêdêmuffin was the only funny moment in this episode.
Reception
The episode along with its sister episode (A Day Without Tears) got a 5.3 rating on IMDb.
Trivia
- This episode and its sister episode aired four days before the series premiere of Victorious.
