Plot

One night in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob is just doing his things around his house, when Patrick bursts through the wall with a TV in his hands yelling, "SpongeBob you gotta see this!" Then on the TV came news that a new ride at Glove World, The Fiery Fist O' Pain, was a dangerous and extreme ride. They both are so exited. That night SpongeBob has a dream about them dying on The Fiery Fist O' Pain, which terrorizes SpongeBob. The next morning they get on the bus to Glove World. These two kids talk about how this guy's spine fell out and hope theirs will also. SpongeBob and Patrick get really scared. They get off the bus and go up to the ticket person. They check their pockets and decide to go home, but then the man spots where they hid their tickets and they enter. They are so scared they check out the baby rides. They find a ride called the Mitten, which is "suitable" for them. They get in the extremely small car and the man places a baby in their laps. SpongeBob and Patrick get scared every time they go up the small bump. They get off the ride and the baby gets angry at them. They get into the line at The Fiery Fist O' Pain. They see an old man come out injured and they run off. The man just had a medical condition and could not get in to the ride. Then they decide to play a game in the bathroom, they been to the bathroom about 8 times. They run into Larry and he tells them about the stink under your arm when you go on the ride and Larry insist SpongeBob and Patrick to go to the ride now. SpongeBob and Patrick were so afraid getting in the ride they run off and Larry thinks he should stop making people smell his armpits. They get some ice cream and Patrick has ice cream all over his face so he went to the bathroom to go and wash up. Mean while SpongeBob talks to himself and to his ice cream, SpongeBob and his ice cream had a fight and his ice cream beats him up. Then in the bathroom, Patrick's reflection calls him mean things (his reflection called him a cry baby because he is afraid to go on the ride) then Patrick punches his reflection. SpongeBob heard Glove World closes in 5 minutes, and so they enter the ride. The ride starts but they have difficulties. They are relieved, but finds out the ride does not have a problem and the operator hits the start button. They rocket off and turn out to have a great time, and they lose their spines.

Trivia/Goofs

Glove World also appeared in Stephen Hillenburg's inspired episode "Rock Bottom"
It is impossible that SpongeBob and Patrick would lose their spines because they are invertebrates, which usually have no spines.
If you pay close attention, then you will see that the Mitten had three laps.
The "Fist O' Pain" first appeared in one of the artworks on the Friend or Foe DVD special features.
At the beginning of this episode, they said that it was the grand opening of the Fist O' Pain, but in Friend or Foe? there was a t-shirt that said, "I survived the Fist O' Pain".
In episode Rock Bottom, where they feature Glove World, Glove World already has a roller coaster, which probably may be the Fiery Fist O' Pain. Either that or the Fist O' Pain is supposed to be a new roller coaster and they tore down the old one.
All the rides in Glove World are gloves, mittens, or fists.
After SpongeBob and Patrick finished the ride, they said "Let's go again", but in the scene before, it said that SpongeBob and Patrick were the last people to go on the ride for the day.
SpongeBob's behavior when he was hitting himself with the ice cream cone was similar to that of Stewie Griffin from Family Guy.
If you look closely, when SpongeBob and Patrick's spines fly through the water, both of their spines go into the other's body (SpongeBob’s spine went to Patrick's body and vise versa). On the next scene their spines are back to normal.
This ride (Fiery Fist O' Pain) may cause:
- Crying
- Screaming
- Projectile Vomiting
- Amnesia
- Spine Loss
- Embarrassing Accidents
- Uncontrollable Gas
- Explosive Diarrhea
If you hear well enough when Patrick and SpongeBob got back from the Roller Coaster, the computer that mentions the ride is over sounds like Karen.

Controversy

People described the plot of this episode to be completely not clever. Other people, though, thought that the episode was good because it featured Glove World again.
