Plot
At the beach, Plankton is devising another diabolical scheme. He is planning to turn the beach into the future site of a mega-sized Chum Bucket. However, he needs everyone to leave the beach. No-one listens to him, and accidentally stomp all over him. Plankton decides to trick SpongeBob into being "assertive" in order to get the things that he (Plankton) wants. At first it doesn't work so well, as Spongebob is naturally kind and naive. But then he does listen to Plankton and with rude behavior such as stealing everyone's hot dogs and popping a volleyball, everyone leaves the beach. Spongebob is upset by this and then discovers that Plankton was using him. So he becomes "aggressively nice" by giving back everyone's hot dogs and turning into a volleyball himself. Plankton leaves the beach disgusted by the cuteness of it all.
Cultural References
- The name "Walking Small" is a parody of the film Walking Tall.
- When Plankton speaks through SpongeBob by telling the eel to give his ice cream cone back, it's similar to The Shining because both SpongeBob and Danny have both Plankton and Tony, who's actually imaginary, in their mouths.
- The lyrics of the song "Steppin on the beach" in this episode are similar to Inspector Gadget's Theme Song. [1]
- The title card looks similar to Ripped Pants.
- This episode's title card appears on many time cards in later episodes.
Trivia
- This episode aired on Nicktoons Network on October 19, 2006 with a western version of the theme song over the end credits.
