[edit] Plot

While sandboarding, SpongeBob crashes into the ground butt-first, and Sandy takes him to the hospital. The doctorfish says that it took 20 hours to staple and glue-stick it back together. He also says that another similar injury and he'll have to have an iron butt, a huge mechanical machine on wheels connected to where the butt used to be. SpongeBob is on '24-hour butt patrol', and decides to stay home forever with his three friends, 'Chip', 'Penny' and 'Used Napkin'. Sandy and Patrick try and persuade to get SpongeBob to go outside, but he only goes out when a gorilla attacks Sandy and Patrick. The episode ends when SpongeBob realizes how a gorilla can't exist underwater, and the gorilla runs away with his horse (a zebra). Then, a family of people who were watching the episode on television struggle to understand what happened.

[edit] Cultural References

  • SpongeBob sandboards down the mountain and tells Patrick "not to eat the Yellow sand". This could be a reference on toilet humor.
  • "The Iron Butt" is a referance to the Iron Lung.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

  • An alternate name for this episode is "Safety Freak".
  • The gorilla seen in this episode is not a real gorilla, it's Frank Welker in a gorilla suit (see the skin under the eyes) and the zebra is not a real zebra, it's Dee Bradley Baker in a zebra suit.
  • This episode has a unique ending in that at the end, it pans out to reveal that the episode was being watched by a family. They all stare in confusion. The mother and father look at each other and the father gives a look of disapproval and shuts off the TV. This is one SpongeBob SquarePants episode that breaks the 4th wall.
  • In the beginning, Patrick was playing a game where you have to slide and stay from obstacles on Sand Mountain. Patrick crashed in the game. Coinncedentally, that's exactly what Patrick did when he gave up due to it being hard.
  • A caption had an accident, as the episode's title suggests. Patrick and Sandy were singing "Three cheers for your birthday, SpongeBob!", but captions exclude Spongebob's name ("Three cheers for your birthday!").
  • This episode is part of a group of final season 3 episodes that are hardly ever aired.
  • This is one of the only (if not the only) times Sandy is jellyfishing.
  • "Penny" could not talk or move, yet in Imatation Krabs and Squids Day Off, coins moved. (in Imatation Krabs, the penny gasped. in Squids Day off, a nickel winked)
  • Near the middle of the episode, Spongebob started talking before his mouth moved.

(Patrick is playing a video game where he gets his limbs severed by crashing into a mountain top while skiing down a hill in the game.)
Patrick: Aww, I got dead again! This game stinks! (He's skiing himself. He hits a bump and does a replay of what happens in the video game, including the limb severing.)
