Plot

Sandy takes her Science Scout troop on a trip to the moon. Squidward is also brought along by a Krabby Patty delivery to Sandy’s dome at the time of the launch. While on the moon, SpongeBob pulls the moon out of its orbit and further from the Earth and Squidward ventures to the Dark Side of the Moon, where he crashes into a displeased Santa Claus. The Science Scouts try to move the Moon back into orbit by belch power, wind power, and pushing it, which are all unsuccessful. Santa plans to help by pushing the Moon with a Jack-in-the-Box, but SpongeBob causes further destruction by overwinding it and completely destroying the Moon. SpongeBob is then left in space as a replacement Moon until Christmas.

Trivia

• This episode premiered one day before show creator Stephen Hillenburg died, and is the last episode to air in his lifetime.
• The title was originally "SpaceBob MerryPants."
• The lead blankets in the "radiation belt" would have been weightless, and therefore could not have stayed down.
• Squidward hates country music.
• The Dark Side of the Moon, as with the dark side of the Krusty Krab at night in previous episodes, was a solid wall, implying that darkness is a substance.
• This episode marks Squidina's first appearance
