The Main Drain is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season seven and is the fourth episode of the Legends of Bikini Bottom special.
Summary
SpongeBob and Patrick seek out a legendary drain that once destroyed Bikini Bottom.
Why It Went Down the Drain
- The premise is unoriginal. It's another rehash of "Hooky" from Season 1.
- So much of the episode is wasted on filler. Most of it is just SpongeBob and Patrick finding the Main Drain.
- In fact, the episode doesn't even get to the point early on, and instead wastes time on SpongeBob's duties, which are seen all the time.
- Furthermore, what does pulling the sink drain plug have to do with the drain plug that's supposedly the apocalyptic one?
- The journey is only a short period of the episode since most of it already wastes time with talking to Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Old Man Jenkins.
- Mr. Krabs and Plankton explain that they pulled the drain plug before, except there's a problem to their story.
- So how are they still alive? If the plug was pulled, then everyone in the sea would've died.
- Bad, cliched, and copout ending: Patrick pulls the drain plug causing everyone to go down the drain... and it's revealed that it was a bedtime story to Patrick, making this episode pointless.
- This only makes the plot less sensible, according to MoBrosStudios.
- Patrick acts like a jerk, trying to convince SpongeBob to pull the Main Drain to prove it is real, even at the risk of destroying Bikini Bottom.
Redeeming Qualities
- There isn't anything nasty in the Main Drain thankfully.
- The premise of the episode is not bad.
Reception
- Although not one of the worst of the Legends of the Bikini Bottom episodes, The Main Drain is criticized for filler and the random ending.
- Ranked 19th on the top 20 worst SpongeBob episodes fan edition list from MoBrosStudios.
