From what I heard, this was SUPPOSEDLY Bill Fa-gerbakke's (I have to break up the spelling like that, otherwise it will THINK I said a bad word) final time voicing Patrick Star; he said that he's retiring from voice acting because the thrill is gone. Can anyone truly confirm or deny that? In any case, if this WAS the final appearance of Patrick's original voice actor; they sure did pick a rather unique episode for him to end his career on "Spongebob Squarepants". Also, it is rather interesting to see a Larry focused episode; since we haven't really gotten to see that many of them! This episode actually makes a good case for "Achievements In Ignorance". Since Patrick doesn't KNOW that certain feats of strength SHOULD be impossible, he can achieve them with no problem! While this episode is better than "The Simpsons" example in that Larry WILLINGLY chose to act and try to BE more like Patrick, Larry NEVER stopped to consider that trying to be more like Patrick might be more trouble than its worth! For instance, it was SPONGEBOB (of all characters) who had to INTENTIONALLY motivate both Larry and Patrick into actually DOING the weight-lifting games the way they were supposed to; by using a peanut! (It's been a LONG time since a peanut has actually PLAYED a major part in a "Spongebob Squarepants" episode!) In any case, because of the motivation; it motivates Larry to win the weight-lifting games for the 25th straight year in a row! And when Spongebob reveals that he utilized the peanut as a motivation for Larry to win as a SMART move; it reverts Larry back to being himself! Unfortunately, that happens WHILE Larry is holding up the entire city of Bikini Bottom; and SMART Larry is unable to do that; so he drops the entire city on Larry, Spongebob, and Patrick, making them ALL as intelligent as Patrick! I guess I'd give this episode an 8.5 out of 10, mostly because of Patrick's voice actor (supposedly) retiring after this episode. Enough said, true believers!
