The Cent of Money is the twenty-sixth episode of the seventh season of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Plot
SpongeBob is walking his pet snail, Gary, and coins start sticking to Gary's shell. When Mr. Krabs learns this, he uses Gary to steal coins from others all around town. In the end, it is revealed that Gary ate SpongeBob's very powerful Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy fridge magnet.
Qualities That Are a Cent of Scum (No Pun Intended)
- The Cent of Money feels similar to "Jellyfish Hunter" from Season 2, with both episodes involving Mr. Krabs using another main character to steal things for profit. This plot is also used for the entire episode, except with none of the charm and cleverness that episode had.
- It is one of the handfuls of moments in the series where Mr. Krabs is at his worst and his greed has gone too far, as he uses Gary to steal other people's money from across Bikini Bottom, similar to “Jellyfish Hunter” where he used SpongeBob to catch jellyfish for him to harvest for profit. Not helping is that he is just harmful towards Gary and his greedy actions have SpongeBob fooled into assuming everything to be fine.
- It is also just another Gary torture episode, as he is visibly suffering almost whenever Mr. Krabs uses him to steal money.
- For some reason, SpongeBob can believe Mr. Krabs' lies until the tough guy warned SpongeBob of their actions. SpongeBob could've seen Gary's emotions to figure out that the latter isn't happy.
- The security worker at the arcade is also a moron, as he believes Mr. Krabs to be a pregnant woman. although this "female" has a male-like voice. Not to mention that he uses the word "preggers", which people found disturbing.
- At the arcade, Mr. Krabs literally gets angry at SpongeBob for telling the truth! This just proves to show how much his character has fallen.
Good Qualities
- SpongeBob is mostly likable in this episode and even close to his original personality.
- Watching him stand for Gary was great. If only he did this as well in "A Pal for Gary".
- Gary was also likable as we can feel sorry for him after what Mr. Krabs did to the poor snail.
- Compared to "One Coarse Meal", seeing Mr. Krabs get what he deserved and being told off by SpongeBob for his actions was very satisfying.
- On that note, it had a good ending where he lost several tons of cents after his recovery bill. It was very funny
- He also at least fed Gary, as for we all know, he could've been hungry.
- SpongeBob painting the Krusty Krab was pretty decent.
- The "Huh, what?" scene was funny.
- Good title card music.
- The first 30 seconds of the episode before Mr. Krabs shows up aren't that bad.
Trivia
- This episode premiered during "SpongeBob and the Clash of Triton".
