Did I mention
disgusting? I'm surprised at how little hate this episode gets, it's definitely one of the overlooked turds in the series. The episode starts with a famished Gary waking Spongebob up. Spongebob gives him "organic" food that disgusts Gary. Gary eats some fungus on the floor, which Spongebob considers "rude". It's also
disgusting. Spongebob tries to clean it up, but it just spreads further on him.
Disgusting. He decides to go to the Krusty Krab anyways, despite being covered in itchy green fungus. Did I mention that this is
disgusting? He tries to flick it off or scrape it into the trash, which just makes it spread more. Squidward then sees Spongebob and does the sensible thing, call the SWAT team. Or you could, you know, just call a doctor. Or tell Spongebob to go home. Or about 100 things more sensible then calling the ::dolphin noise::ing SWAT TEAM. This episode is not just
disgusting, it's
disgustingly poor written. While the SWAT team carries Spongebob away, some Ick falls on Squidward's head. Squidward tries to itch it off, and it gets on a patty then served to Old Man Jenkins.
Disgusting. Spongebob is put into a bubble to quarantine him within his own house. Patrick comes in, and, being the moron he is, pops the bubble. He makes a more fragile soap bubble around him. Spongebob, looking more
disgusting than ever, arrives at the Krab, which has all of the customers and staff
disgusting with Ick. The health inspector is sensibly angry at Krabs for his incompetence, and everyone starts to attack Spongebob. Spongebob cries
disgusting green tears which gets all over everyone when his bubble pops.
Disgusting. Gary then comes in, out of nowhere, to be our friendly neighborhood Deus Ex Machina. He eats the Ick off of everyone, which somehow cures them. So it wasn't a disease and Spongebob should not have swollen up to a
disgusting green blob. This episode is
disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. And I didn't like it, either.
