in the background of SpongeBob?

While you might be focused on this, or this...

or this, you might be missing something like... this.

Here are things you missed exclusively at the Krusty Krab.

Number one:

What? To get my face on the Wall of Shame?

Squidward, you've got it all wrong.

Having pride in your work is nothing to be ashamed of.

Why, it's the only thing that makes it all worthwhile.

Thattaboy, SpongeBob!

This is going to be a tough one though!

There's no clear cut winner.

Watch out, SpongeBob.

Squidward appears to be on the verge of a breakout.

SpongeBob has won the past 26 consecutive

Employee of the Month awards, or has he?

Take a closer look.

There's something strange going on here.

December, January, February. So far, so good. February agai?

Last time I checked a calendar,

there's a whole lot of months missing there.

Fast forward and we see more missing months.

[laughing]

April, May. March?

January, February. January?

Does the Bikini Bottom calendar operate

on some kind of underwater schedule?

Or is it possible SpongeBob actually didn't win

26 consecutive months,

but he manipulated the wall, so it seems like he did?

King Neptune could've won.

The accursed stove has burnt my finger.

Feel thine own wrath, stove! Haha!

What did I tell you

about using your powers, trainee?

Uh, doubtful. Patrick?

[phone ringing]

Is this the Krusty Krab?

No, this is Patrick.

Even Gary could've won a month.

[meowing]

Really anyone that's not SpongeBob could've had

a photo on that wall.

Wait a second. Not SpongeBob.

Aha, I know who it was.

[music playing]

Good morning, not SpongeBob.

[kissing]

Number two:

Mr. Squidward!

What is happening in me restaurant?!

The customers have gone crazy!

[screaming, banging]

SpongeBob is late for work, so there's no food.

[gasping]

But he's never been late for work in his life!

This could only be one thing.

SpongeBob has passed away!

[gasping]

[crying]

The Krusty Krab is no stranger to surprise appearances.

After all, it is the hottest restaurant

in all of Bikini Bottom.

In the season 12 episode, Broken Alarm,

SpongeBob doesn't show up to work one morning,

driving the customers into a hunger frenzy.

There's a lot to talk about here,

like this guy going to town on his thumb.

How did he even get up there? Or this interesting moment.

Not sure how that helps with the hunger exactly.

Or this guy, he's got the right idea.

I'm more of a mustard guy myself.

But what about this fish?

Ignore the fact that he's literally roasting

his fellow fish over a fire. Do you recognize him?

He's a Bikini Bottom celebrity,

playing in one of the town's hottest bands.

Alright, Squidward, are you ready?!

I'm ready.

Ha. Not that one, this one.

♪ When Big Larry came 'round Just to put him down ♪

♪ SpongeBob turned into a clown And no girl ever wants... ♪

That's right. The talented cello player

from Ripped Pants dines at the Krusty Krab.

♪ Or sand in your buns ♪

Number three:

Ah, the Krusty Krab home of the Krabby Patty,

with its top secret formula known only to those brave enouh

and intelligent enough

to comprehend its culinary complexity.

Look, Mr. Krabs, I'm doing it.

I'm doing it!

Quit fooling around, SpongeBob. We've got customers.

This one cracks me up. Did you catch it?

Look how Harold is eating his Krabby Patty.

Or should I say licking his Krabby Patty?

Are we sure Harold even likes Krabby Patties?

He may just be interested in the condiments.

Or maybe he only eats fish. Check out this moment.

[screaming]

Bring up the stage lights.

[music playing]

Whoa, Harold, relax.

When the lights turn off the Krusty Krab,

he's seen eating another fish's arm.

And he thinks, "Nah, that's not good enough."

So he adds salt and the fish he's eating hands him the salt?

He'd get along well with this fellow cannibal.

Number four:

Oh, no, the midnight rush. What am I gonna do?

Oh, if only there was a fry cook in the house.

Ooh, I'm a certified fry cook.

Uh, let's see.

I'd have to clear it with the night manager.

Hey, boss!

Can this little fella here take over my shift tonight?!

[laughing]

Nosferatu?

In the season 11 episode Night Patties,

SpongeBob visits the Krusty Krb during the night shift,

finding out things are very different than usual.

Enter our first surprise appearance.

[laughing]

Nosferatu?

Yep, that's right, Nosferatu,

all the way back from season two.

Wait. If that was you on the phone

and you on the bus...

then who was flickering the lights?

[clicking]

[clicking]

Nosferatu.

Does this mean he's been in that freezer ever since?

I guess he is a vampire.

Oh, gosh, I just hope no one else is in that freezer.

Got to be something they like in here.

No. No. Nope. No.

Nope. [sniffing]

Wow, I think we need to watch that one back.

Sandy's robot, Squidward sculpture,

Heart man and Spongy Spongy have been there this whole tim?

Here's the last time we saw Sandy's robot

in season five.

Whoo wee. It's all done. My greatest invention yet.

Here is the last time we saw Squidward's sculpture

back in season eight.

My art will never be shown in this- Ooh! What the?

This- This- This is my sculpture.

But you think that's a while?

We haven't seen heart man since season one.

Wow, that's a long time to be in a freezer.

[groaning] I defy you, heart man!

Lastly, there's Spongy Spongy

who wreaked havoc on Bikini Bottom

the last time we saw him.

[screaming]

[screaming]

Now that everyone's free, who knows the implications

of what SpongeBob has just don.

[screaming]

This is Perch Perkins live at the Krusty Krab,

where we understand

that a local fry cook has just gone nuts.

Number five:

[music playing]

[music playing]

[dinging]

[music playing]

[whistling]

Whoa.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Just another normal day at the Krusty Krab,

serving up their famous Krabby Patties,

Flipping fish fossils! Is that Krusty Krab pizza?

That thing is a relic.

♪ The Krusty Krab Pizza Is the pizza ♪

♪ Ab-so-lu-tiv-al-y! ♪

♪ P-P-P-P-Pizza ♪

♪ Do-do-chun-chun-chi-chi Pizza ♪

♪ Do do ba ba ba da ♪

While SpongeBob is doing his thing,

a Krusty Krab pizza lands on this fish's table

along with a knight?

Yeah, I don't know, but good to know

the Krusty Krab is still serving pizza.

And hey, this time they didn't forget the drink.

Where's my drink?

What drink?

My drink. My Diet Dr. Kelp.

Don't tell me you forgot my drink!

But... you didn't order any--

How am I supposed to eat this pizza without my drink?!

If you thought that was a good call back,

see if you can spot this one.

Oh!

Squidward, what do you think

the nurse is doing to him in there?

It's called a check up,

an invasion of your personal space.

That's good for ya.

[screaming]

Did you catch it? It's a deep cut.

In this season 11 episode,

Mr. Krabs is terrified to get his checkup.

He's so scared,

he even begins eating his own arms.

Hmm, eating his own arms. Sounds familiar.

He exits the bus and crosses the street

without looking both ways because he's already dead.

Then he taps on the window with his grisly spatula and...

Yep, that's right. A callback to season two's episode,

Graveyard Shift when SpongeBob eats

his own arms upon hearing about...

The Hash Slinging Slasher!

Interested in another deep callback?

Number six:

Did you want kelp fries with that?

U-U-U-Uh.

SpongeBob, order... up.

[mumbling]

One Double Krabby Patty, everything on it,

one order kelp fries, one...

Squidward, what size kelp fries are these?

U-U-U-Uh.

When Squidward asks for the customer's order,

he responds in almost the exact way Patrick does

in the Krusty Krab training video. Take a look.

Hi. May I please take your order?

I'll have a...

- U-U-U-Uh. - U-U-U-Uh.

Number seven:

If you catch this one, you are a super fan.

Ooh. Ooh, and enjoy your break.

[giggling]

M-kay.

[scoffs]

[whistling]

[whistling]

[gasping]

Ooh.

SpongeBob! What are you doing?!

Did you catch it? Mr. Krabs is forced

to give SpongeBob his first ever break.

He has no idea what to do,

so he starts to whistle a familiar tune.

[whistling]

This show is so dang clever.
