How does the Krusty Krab do so well...

How does the Krusty Krab do so well? It always seems to be bustling full of people (except for the occasional episode that requires it to suck for plot purposes) yet it appears to be in the middle of nowhere, despite Bikini Bottom having a busy downtown district. Hell you basically never see anyone walk or drive past it unless there's a gag. Yet we know Krabs manages to make a million dollars in that one episode, so it's definitely not struggling. What gives?

It's right by the city, depending on how long or short the distance is on the gag

What if Plankton tried to steal the secret formula from the patent office instead?

Mother of god

The downtown is literally a couple dozen buildings. It's just not a very dense city.

It's been implied on the show already that it only stays in business because of the Krabby Patty and Spongebob

The salt is not salt.

It's the only burger joint in town that isn't terrible. The customers tolerate the high prices and shitty customer service because 1. the Krabby Patty is legitimately good and 2. where else are they gonna eat? The Chum Bucket?

Maybe it's the view

It's one of those places where you just gotta make the trip because the burger is that good.
And you might even get a story of something the autistic grill kid did to tell your friends.

>the Krabby Patty is legitimately good
Basically this that burger and spongebob are the only thing keeping it afloat.

>And you might even get a story of something the autistic grill kid did to tell your friends.
I ever tell you guys about the time I saw the fry cook have a mental breakdown about some damn pickles?

>The downtown is literally a couple dozen buildings. It's just not a very dense city.

Yeah, the show itself has made it clear that there are bigger cities and Bikini Bottom just happens to be spread out and not terribly well populated. It's official population is under 600 and the outlying areas probably don't add much more. There's maybe a half dozen permanent other places and the rest are probably just places that open up for a year or two and close as small town restaurants are often wont to do.

Odds are the land was cheap and the expenses aren't that much. With a captive audience any halfway decent place could turn a profit.

Krabs basically lucks out because every time his old good cook quits some new kid who happens to be good just drops in.

Because Krabby Pattys are horribly addictive. People will literally sell out their best friend to get one if they have to and they turn into post-apocalyptic raiders if the go more than a day without one. Every citizen of Bikini Bottom goes there at least once a day to get their fix.

So what's the secret formula? Crack or PCP?

How big the city is depends on the episode. Sometimes it's a small town and sometimes it's a major city that is close to a major highway

>Implying Krabs would patent it when that requires telling the patent agency the secret formula

The town used to be much denser and more populated before Spongbob started boating school.

trips of truth

That would explain why Plankton wants to steal the recipe and not worry about the consequences of selling the sandwich

>Where else are you gonna go?
I heard that at the Shell Shack, they’ve got a talking dog.

>dog
What?

If SpongeBob has autism does Patrick have the downs?

What was wrong with him mentally?

This. Coke and Pepsi do the same thing.

>He's weird so he's le autistic!

Patrick's behavior is more along the lines of traumatic brain injury.

I can't tell if this is from a shitty official nickleodeon comic or a porn comic.

He's not just weird, his obsession with the Krusty Krab goes beyond weird and into autism territory.

I'm kind of surprised they never made a Krabs/Plankton team-up episode where they had to infiltrate the Shell Shack after they learn that it's been eating into both outlets' profits.

I'll admit I'm more ashamed of the fact I would like to fuck spongebob than any of my other fetishes and it includes vore.

I mean they kinda already did, they teamed up to stop that Kelp Shake place.

>What if Plankton tried to steal the secret formula from the patent office instead?
That's not how it works. You can only keep a recipe secret by NOT patenting it. A patent by definition, is public. Recipes of food product are considered "trade secret", which is entirely separate from patents. Trade Secrets are only kept secret by the owner keeping the recipe hidden from its own employees. And if it gets leaked they don't get to sue anybody. Basically you can either keep your recipe a secret, or patent something that becomes public knowledge and your ownership expires.

Patents have a time limit. Trade Secrets do not.

Mr. Enter says SpongeBob is too mean spirited.

...

Post first movie or all of it?

you don't remember that ep?

youtu.be/t0XbY6CCWTI

>back when the show was good.

Any pics of characters dressed like SpongeBob?

But we're talking about a food product, here; wouldn't you have to demonstrate that it won't kill people? Also, patents are protected, at least for the period that the patent holds. Someone wants to legally use your patent, they have to convince you to license it to them. Illegal use gets lawsuits.

Do you mean characters from other shows or spongebob humanizations?

>the episode where SpongeBob gets captured by divers and used as a tampon for the rest of his life

>mean spirited

"Mean-spirited" is funny. Enter can suck it.

This
I'm with Stupid and The Great Snail Race are just as good as any classic Spongebob, thinking otherwise is a meme

I dunno but its cool

Mr enter is not an argument for how trash the characters have gotten since season 4, they don't resemble their original selves in the slightest

Yeah, like that episode where he doesn't want to take a legally-required vacation. He doesn't understand that if he doesn't comply Mr. Krabs will get royally fucked, but he is so obsessed that he murders Patrick and wears his skin (he doesn't, but if this weren't a kids cartoon...) just to keep working.

They did an episode where they teamed up to stop a fried chicken place. It was all a plot by Spongebob to make them be friends again by forcing them to work together.

Here is the Nip's take on him anyway.

>m-muh autism
jesus christ you faggots, stop trying to project real world conditions onto characters who reside in a universe where autism doesn't even exist conceptually
spongebob is just a weird manchild, autism doesn't come into it, and he lacks a lot of the symptoms that come with actual autism anyway. it's as bad as the retards who insist he's gay

Pixiv is filled with a shotabob art for some disturbing reason.

good marketing. to counter 's point, Mr.Krabs is too cheep to make a special burger with any rare ingredient, viral marketing is just cheaper. And the last cook was apparently very good at cooking. the only secret ingredient is love.

Nothing, he works long hours to get that sweet overtime dosh. The Krusty Krab isn't busy enough for the stress of being a fry cook to set in and cause him to snap in anger.

The first few seasons makes it abundantly clear that Plankton enjoys being evil because it's fun. He wants to steal the krabby patty formula from his competitor's offices to spite Krabs.

Doesn't matter

How short are SpongeBob's shorts? Nice pics, btw

I think he wears khaki shorts like cena

I would have though the shorts would be shorter

A better question would be why anyone tries to place any kind of continuity into this universe when multiple episodes end with everyone dying

>Dying for Pie
>Spongebob Sandy and the Worm
>The Ugly Barnacle

SpongeBob isn't for sexual.

The japs think otherwise.

What will he do when SpongeBob dies?

what if plankton purchased a krabby patty

Japs think everything for sexual. They're right

Because Bikini Bottom is america of the ocean so they are retarded golems that love burguers.

What is the patty meat made out of?

Crab.

Pearl's parents.

His spastic behavior would wear you down within a week user.

Someone post the comic edit.

It's because of POOP

>Where else are you gonna go
The Weenie Hut has pretty good food, I hear.

I have no idea why blonde femboys always make me diamonds.

>the episode where Karen purchases a Krabby Patty to give Plankton the secret recipe

Then how about the intersection leading to the restaurant and the Chum Bucket kept getting cut off from time to time?

Krabby Patties are an addictive drug.

Relapse literally turned people into zombie crack heads

it's actually been getting better recently

I've heard this, but I've also heard people say this about nu-Simpsons repeatedly for the past ~5 years so I'm sketpical

the nu!sponge episodes i've seen certainly feel more entertaining than pre-sequel-post-movie stuff

what

Here.

High-Functioning autism, OCD, ADD, ADHD. I presume he may also have injured his brain at a young age. Essentially, he's unable to mentally mature. He can be capable, but never a true, responsible adult for most of the time.

I guess.

Dude go to the Krusty Krab on April Fools Day, I guarantee you'll see some shit go down.

Like a couple years ago the fry cook was doing some stupid "work safe" pranks on people, and the guy at the register fucking went nuts on him, dragging him through a bunch of shit on a rope and dunking him in a gross trash can as a "retaliation prank".

The guy at the counter is a fucking barnacle head.

Don't you mean a *dolphin noise* barnacle head?

This is a blue board, sir.

I was watching an episode of the new season and they did a cronenberg episode.

>Krabs gets Sandy to make a new krabby patty for him
>sandy ends creating a glowing orange krabby patty
>krabs starts selling them
>people love them
>then they start mutating into horrible half hamburger half fish cronenburgs
>they wander around mumbling EAAAAAT MEEEEEEEEEE
>rip chunks of their hamburger flesh off and shove it into normal peoples mouths to turnt hem into cronenburgs too
>city wide epidemic
>what the fuck is this really spongebob

*Sailor music intensifies*

...

Battle for Bikini Bottom portrayed it at right at the heart of the town, considering the only option besides that is the Chum Bucket, and the fact that the food is loved by everyone, Its no suprise does good

Reminder that Bikini Bottom has had at least one war, because it's mentioned multiple times Krabs was in the Navy
