Can't wait to see how this episode is executed...

[Jjs Goodman]

* I like the krabby patty theme of the title card.

* What the heck is that pile of slop?

* I'm not sure if that will be selling, Plankton..

* I feel bad for those poor customers.

* Plankton, what did you put in that chum?!

* Oh, of course Patrick likes it all.

* False advertising much, Plankton?

* Second time we see Plankton wearing the Krusty Krab hat. First time in Chum Caverns.

* Eh, glad to see they didn't make it too gross.

* Pretty clever of Plankton actually...he gets everyone against Krabs.

* Only changed the price by one number..

* I can tell Mr. Krabs is going to have a heart-attack for this..

* I guess Plankton scared their business away..

* So now it is a Krabby Patty truck? Reminds me of an Ice Cream truck music.

* Lol at Squidward as a monkey.

* Lord have mercy on that fish's soul.

* The eating scene kind of reminded me of Pickles.

* Lol at the thumbs up in the fish's eye, and the pennies coming out of him.

* What the...? How did they turn into hands??

* Wow, SpongeBob is a millionaire!

* Good episode, some very funny bits, and the ending was touching - nice to see Mr. Krabs let SpongeBob share the money.

Grade: A

It was alright, it was very random lol. So, it seems like Patrick is the only one who likes chum (Chum Caverns is an other example) I liked how Mr. Krabs got some of that green stuff at the ending and the money angels. The third time we've seen a main character in an ape costume! (SpongeBob, Perfect Chemistry, Patrick, I Had an Accident). Plankton was clever in this one.

B-

I thought it was an okay episode. It was actually one of Plankton's more clever plans by disguising chum as krabby patties to turn everyone against Mr. Krabs. And one of SpongeBob's clever remedies by tricking everyone into believing they're better krabby patties.

[SpongeOddFan]

it was great ep though

I liked how Plankton tried really hard to get customers to try his free sample.

preety good episode.

Free Samples - 7/10

Free Samples felt... weird. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly in the middle. The entire thing just felt very out of place. I can't quite put my finger on it. I didn't really laugh at anything, but it wasn't like I was bored throughout any of it. In fact, I was very much absorbed in the whole thing, especially towards the end, where real-life thumbs were shown in the fish's eyes and the other two fish's heads turned into hands and gave each other a high five. I felt that was unique and entertaining. However, where this episode provided in originality and plot, it lacked in comedic values. There wasn't anything I laughed at throughout the course of the episode, and this is Spongebob... I should laugh, at the very least chuckle, at least once or twice in the episode. Considering this is Season 8, that SHOULD'VE been a guarantee. Overall, though, this was still a worthwhile watch.
