Realistically, it was only a matter of time before Plankton had ALL he could stand of being stamped, stomped, squished, flattened, trod on, mushed, mashed, and yes; even stepped on. Unlike the LAST attempt to pair Sandy and Plankton together, this one works out surprisingly well, and come off as more natural! It's been quite a while since the LAST time both Spongebob and Sandy utilized their "Kar-rah-tay" skills! Honestly, Spongebob was probably the PERFECT character for Plankton to practice his self-defense skills on!...Too bad Plankton INEVITABLY decides to BREAK his promise to Sandy to use his skills ONLY for self-defense, as he manages to use his strength (or, as referenced in "Wonder Woman 1984", a character's own momentum AGAINST them) against Bubble Bass, and even a CRAZY PREPARED squad of ninjas hired by Mr. Krabs! (Although after all of the OTHER attempts Mr. Krabs has had to endure, he was probably TIRED of having to PERSONALLY dispose of Plankton, and was TRYING to "Cut the Knot"). However, Plankton is UNABLE to get revenge against Mr. Krabs, because Mr. Krabs doesn't actually HAVE feet, as they've worn away to NUBS due to all the wear and tear that Mr. Krabs has been through! Still, for trying something different, I'd give this episode a 9.5 out of 10. Enough said, true believers!

I always find it kind of interesting when one of the main characters is able to interact with another character of their species. With certain exceptions, it actually doesn't HAPPEN that often on "Spongebob Squarepants". But in this case, Mr. Krabs has to interact with a crab circus owner, name of Mr. Muckraker (which is another term for a bottom-feeder, which CRABS happen to be; talk about GENIUS BONUS!) Not only has Mr. Muckraker taken all of Mr. Krabs' regular customers, Mr. Muckraker has parked his circus tent right NEXT to the Krusty Krab! And worst of all, Mr. Muckraker did it LEGALLY! Needless to say, it doesn't take long for Mr. Krabs to rope Spongebob, Squidward, and Patrick into his plot to try to SABOTAGE the circus! Mr. Krabs locks up the REAL circus crew (never thought we'd ever see the MULTI-EYED female fish that briefly appeared in "The Two Faces Of Squidward" ever again!) And Mr. Krabs, taking the place of the Ringmaster, has Spongebob pretend to be the lady on a unicycle on a tightrope, Squidward as the World's SADDEST clown, and Patrick as the World's most FAKE sea-bear in all of EXISTENCE! However, not only do ALL of Mr. Krabs' attempts to sabotage the circus end up as the equivalent of "Springtime For Hitler", the REAL circus crew finds a saw to saw themselves out of their circus car (although in a case of "Surprisingly Realistic Outcome", it actually takes them ALL the way until Patrick's act to saw their way out of there!) Mr. Muckraker and Mr. Krabs decide to fight each other...by SHOOTING themselves out of a CANNON at each other! The end result? Both Mr. Krabs AND Mr. Muckraker are now a CONJOINED crab ringleader, BOTH making a lot of money together! I'd give this episode a 9.9 out of 10. Enough said, true believers!

Dr. Gilman looks off-model in this episode, or maybe the animators are experimenting with a different design for him? In any case, I kind of had a feeling that this episode was similar (plot-wise) to episodes that appeared in "Catdog" and "Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi", but at least THIS one is different enough from those two to warrant a watch through. What's different is that Sandy figured out a way to keep Spongebob isolated enough from the perceived source of his allergy, and yet still managed to let Spongebob still work at the Krusty Krab. And for the first time in a LONG time, Squidward suffers in this episode NOT because of any fault of any main characters, but because Squidward was SO cheap as to buy an off-off-off-off-off...OFF brand type of cologne that made everyone else break out in hives and a rash! This is why you ALWAYS check the INGREDIENT list of ANY product you buy! And if it doesn't HAVE an ingredient list...DON'T buy it to be on the SAFE side! Anyways, I'd give this episode a 9.9 out of 10. Enough said, true believers!

Interesting episode, nice to see Sandy have her own day in the limelight episode; and interesting that the character she calls when SHE needs help, is Narleen! And FYI, it's not a GOOF that she doesn't suffocate NOT wearing a water helmet in Sandy's Treedome, because Narleen IS a Narwhal, and technically a mammal who can BREATHE air! I wonder if we'll ever see Pecan Sandy again? Anyways, I guess I'd give this episode a 9.9 out of 10. Enough said, true believers!

I'll dig up I'm With Stupid's Grave again.

I wonder if Linus is EVER going to realize that BIG pumpkins can't exactly walk around?

I'll dig up Diver Dan's grave.

...thank you Mr. Captain Obvious Medium Pumpkin!

I'll dig up Squidward's Hopes And Dreams.

Why is a small cat hiding inside of a MEDIUM sized pumpkin?

That seems like a rather SMALL pumpkin, in proportion to that person's body.

I'll dig up I'm With Stupid's Grave again!

I'll dig up Ol' Salty's grave.

Goblin, Squidward.

It's actually impressive for a kid HIS size to be rolling a pumpkin THAT large!

Freddy Fazbear, as IF the name wasn't obvious!

I'll choose five of the most Halloween appropriate songs I can think of! / 1. Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" (Full Album Version). 2. Donovan's "Season Of The Witch". 3. INXS' "Devil Inside". 4. Michael Jackson's "Thriller". 5. Michael Jackson's "Who Is It?" / Enough said, true believers!

Vampire, Plankton!

Since I haven't tried medium yet, I'll smash one.

I'll dig up Ol' Ribeye's Grave.

They say big things can come in small packages, so I'll smash a small pumpkin.

Mummy, Larry.

I'm digging up Smitty's grave.

In movie theaters, I saw "Barbie" (which shouldn't have BEEN anywhere near as good as it was, but it WAS; and I saw "A Haunting In Venice".
