Plot

Karen, one of the main characters of the episode

Plankton at the Drive-in.

Plankton is upset because Karen is giving him a hard time about his business. A customer goes through the drive thru at the Chum Bucket but tries to order Krusty Krab food, upsetting Plankton further. Plankton becomes fed up and threatens to replace Karen. He builds several robots to replace her (by pressing a button to send each one (the robots are T-119A Compumatic, Noxious Enterprise's Super SPU-31 Liquid-Cooled Mobile Processing Unit and Command Module (an old hairdryer taped to the back of a miniature windmill))), but they are all failed attempts. Plankton's robots start tearing each other apart. Plankton tries to intervene, asking Karen to "push a button or something" in order to help. When she does, one of the robots hammers Plankton flat. (Karen used the button Plankton was using) Karen then leaves Plankton, while dropping a note (or as Plankton calls it "words on paper") saying that Karen logged onto another network, and that Karen can't go into sleep mode because he keeps blaming her for all his errors. Plankton then combines all his robots into a "diabolical, albeit haphazardly thrown-together machine" in order to attack the Krusty Krab. Unfortunately, as he marches his robot toward the Krusty Krab, the robot's power cord pulls out of the wall at the Chum Bucket, and Plankton's robot falls apart, leaving Plankton "covered in the sticky goo of 'his' own folly." Karen comes back to get her keyboard, at which point Plankton apologizes to her and they get back together.

Trivia/Goofs

• Nickelodeon posted this episode on their website SpongeBob.com before it aired on television.
• This is the fourth episode to premiere during Nickelodeon's "The Bob Squad."
• The Chum Bucket has a drive through.
• SpongeBob had a very minor role in this episode, even though he is the main character of the series.
• The Chum Bucket has two drinks on the menu: Bucket Bubbler, Chum Cherry Blast.
• Plankton's Robot on the news is said to be tearing throught Bikini Bottom, and then headed straight for the Krusty Krab this is wrong because:
• 1. The Chum Bucket is across the street from the Krusty Krab
• 2. The Robot's extention cord can't reach the Krusty Krab, but apparently can reach downtown Bikini Bottom.
• It is unknown why the K is in the title in place of a C. Unless it has to do with the fact that Stephen Hillenburg thought K's were funnier or the K stands for Karen.
• While Plankton is reading the note/"words on paper", he blinks a few times, but when he is finished, his eye hurts because he "forgot to blink".
• Out of all the robots Plankton made, T-119A Compumatic had only one line: "Good morning, sir."
• When SpongeBob says he discovered how to get the mop wet, without dipping it in the bucket, he was probably refering to the fact that they are underwater.
