Plot

At the Krusty Krab, an overweight fish orders a Monster Krabby Patty. This shocks SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs and the customers. So Hans drop the Monster Patty on the grill and SpongeBob tries to flip it, but his spatula (named Spat) breaks. SpongeBob starts hysterically wailing everywhere he goes. He feels he cannot work without Spat, and Spat feels the same way, so Spat checks himself into the hospital, with SpongeBob following him. He sees him in the bed and SpongeBob goes through a flashback of what they have done together. Then the doctor tells SpongeBob that he should get a replacement spatula and SpongeBob becomes depressed.

He leaves the hospital, believing that nothing else could replace Spat, until he sees a high tech device called: LE SPATULA. SpongeBob gives into temptation and buys it with everything he has, including his pants.

After purchasing LE SPATULA he goes back into the Krusty Krab and attempts to flip patties after Mr. Krabs sees LE SPATULA. LE SPATULA runs away because it does not like filth (thereby defeating the purpose of a spatula) or SpongeBob himself. All the customers are upset with not getting their food, and SpongeBob goes back to the hospital. However, before he gets to see Spat, the doctor tells him it is too late. He then watches a spatula die, but then he finds out that the spatula he just saw was not his spatula; his spatula was well patched up at the Infirmary. The doctor had told SpongeBob that Spat did not get an acting role, not that he had died.

SpongeBob is delighted that Spat is back but Spat does not forgive SpongeBob. SpongeBob walks back to the Krusty Krab, crying, and enters the kitchen. There he sees Spat cooking Krabby Patties. Now reunited, Spat and SpongeBob still have to flip the Monster Patty, but this time, instead of Spat snapping in half again, SpongeBob's arms pop off. SpongeBob starts laughing, and the episode ends.

Trivia/Goofs

• Dee Bradley Baker voices Le Spatula.
• When SpongeBob says that there's only one spatula for him, this is not true. In the book called SpongeBob DetectivePants: The Case of the Missing Spatula, SpongeBob had a different spatula named "Flipper though it's not considered canon.
• This episode was originally called "All Those Tears", but it was later changed to "All That Glitters".
• When SpongeBob breaks the fourth wall, it is a parody of a line from Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice".
• The episode's title is a reference to the line All that glitters is not gold. SpongeBob even says it in this episode.
• This is one of the ten episodes in which the title card has an animation. The others are SB-129, Pre-Hibernation Week, One Krab's Trash, Idiot Box, SpongeBob Meets the Strangler, Skill Crane, Karate Island, The Donut of Shame, and The Krabby Kronicle.
• Immediately after the theme song ends, there is about two second's worth of a pause before the title card pops up. This is the only episode to have the delay.
• SpongeBob has a spatula from Barg n' Mart in Help Wanted that's similar to Le Spatula.
• The purple and gold 'Le Spatula' bag is surprisingly similar to the bag used for the Canadian made Crown Royal Whiskey.
• The Monster Krabby Patty is not seen more throughout the series, possibly because it was taken out of the menu so Spat wouldn't break.
• SpongeBob shouldn't flip the Monster Krabby Patty with his spatula (he needs to do by hands), because the spatula is going to be useless.
• If you look carefully, there are scenes when the green button on Le Spatula disappear.
• It is revealed that Replacement Doctor from The Lost Mattress and Funny Pants is not really a doctor and is actually an actor searching for his role.
• Spongebob wears clothes at the beginning, but after he sold his house, he's naked throughout the entire episode.
• This is the first episode to show SpongeBob using another spatula.
• Patrick's 2nd non-speaking role, the first Just One Bite. The next will be I ♥ Dancing.
• In order to buy Le Spatula, Spongebob sells everything he owns. In the end, it's still not enough and then the salesman was interested in his outfit but for the rest of the episode SpongeBob is naked but shouldn't he be wearing underwear? He probably sold it too.
• The sales man actually cheated Spongebob out of all of his things by the look on his face.
• Even though Spongebob says Spat is the only Spatula for him in Help Wanted he has a diffrent one and in another episode he says "Hooray the new spatulas are here".
