Is Patrick REALLY Smart... Nah!!!

Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick are Jellyfishing in Jellyfish fields until Patrick falls into the Brain Coral Fields. Spongebob sees whats wrong and places Patricks head bck on and he is all of the sudden smart. This eventually tears their friendship apart because they both want to do different things. Patrick tries to help people such as Sandy and Squidward but Patrick becomes more hated. Eventually, Patrick tells SpongeBob that they have to go seperate ways and Both are sad...

Then Patrick wants to try to become friends with Spongebob again by using science. This is unsuccessful and then Patrick tells Spongebob to tell him when the fun went away. so Patrick jumped off the cliff into Brain Coral fiels and duplicates his actions. spongebob looks around for Patricks head and they find a Brain Coral Field where brain coral lies. SpongeBob gets Patricks real head and Patrick is back to normal!

Trivia/Goofs

Real brain coral is actually shaped like brains and not cones.
It is possible that Patrick doesn't have a brain before he placed brain coral on himself. When brain coral was placed onto him, gears in his head start running. This could mean his former head had no brain. Real star fish don't have brains.
The first few times this episode was shown, it had scrolling captions. This was later changed.
Smart Patrick is so upset by not understanding SpongeBob's concept of fun that he makes a solution that makes his hair grow, just so that he can pull it out in his anger. This is ironically the answer to Squidward's dream to have hair.
Patrick calls SpongeBob "Robert", which indicates that SpongeBob's real name may be SpongeRobert SquarePants (longer version of Bob). However, Robert as his full name is not confirmed by Hillenburg. Also, in the scene where Patrick is in Sandy's Treedome, Patrick calls her "Sandra", which indicates that Sandy's real name may be Sandra Cheeks (longer version of Sandy). However, Sandra as her full name is not confirmed by Hillenburg. Patrick may be calling them by their "full" names just to sound smart, though. If this is true, than SpongeRobert and Sandra have no middle names.
SpongeBob and Patrick both have a talent for belch-talking.

Reception

This episode received generally positive reviews, and ranked #6 at Best 10 Ever, making it the sixth most well-received episode of SpongeBob Squarepants. It is only behind Ghost Host for the #5 place. It pretty much seems that the idea of Patrick being both unintelligent and intelligent(just like Big Pink Loser)is a good idea for SpongeBob Squarepants.
