[edit] Plot

The Krusty Krab makes its very first (and only) pizza delivery. Mr. Krabs decides to have Squidward deliver it; Squidward hesitates and asks why SpongeBob can't just deliver it by himself. Mr. Krabs obviously wasn't listening clearly and declares "Great idea, take him with ya!", so SpongeBob and Squidward go to deliver a pizza.

However, SpongeBob can't drive and is still in boating school. When he tries to shift into reverse, he and Squidward become stranded in the middle of nowhere.[2] SpongeBob suggests to deliver the pizza on foot, and they start walking. SpongeBob starts singing a song about the Krusty Krab Pizza, and how it is the best pizza in the sea floor. Then they get whirled into a tornado, and Squidward tells SpongeBob to let go of the pizza, but the pizza saves their lives when SpongeBob transforms it into a parachute. SpongeBob shows Squidward some pioneer tricks, such as hitchhiking, eating coral, telling where civilization is by looking at what direction moss points, and even driving rocks.

The eternally skeptic Squidward does not believe SpongeBob, but has to reconsider when they end up driving the rock all the way to the customer's house. Sadly, their journey didn't pay off too well; the customer gets extremely angry that he didn't get the soda he says he ordered (which he actually didn't). SpongeBob starts crying (and absorbs his tears). Angered that the customer made Spongebob cry, Squidward knocks on the door and shoves the pizza in the customer's face. After the confrontation, the two drive back to work, which ironically is only a few feet away, but Squidward is already very worn out from the long pizza delivery.

[edit] Cultural References

  • Near the end of the episode, there is confusion because the customer didn't get his Diet Dr. Kelp. Dr. Kelp is a spoof on Dr. Pepper.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ The truck-driver is voiced by Doug Lawrence, but the end credits for this episode mistake him to be voiced by Rodger Bumpass.
  2. ^ When SpongeBob is trying to shift into reverse, the Korean words for "go forward" and "go backward" appear in SpongeBob's illusion as he starts to hesitate.
  • When SpongeBob and Squidward were checking out the pizza, Squid mentioned about the cheese and the pepperoni, but there are also mushrooms on it. He forgot to mention about them.
  • Squidward shows some friendship to Spongebob first by saving him from being run over by the truck and second by getting revenge against the customer
