Oh, no! Even beloved “SpongeBob SquarePants” isn’t safe from
corporate downsizing.
The harsh economic climate has infiltrated the underwater
community of Bikini Bottom when, after 14 loyal years of flipping krabby
patties at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is unceremoniously bounced from his job
in an upcoming episode of the iconic Nickelodeon ’toon.
According to the NY Post, the ebullient sea sponge very
literally gets “canned,” “pink-slipped” and “axed” by the greedy Mr. Krabs when
his boss discovers he can save a whole nickel by eliminating happy-go-lucky
SpongeBob from the payroll.
A tearful SpongeBob offers to work for free, frying up
Krabby Patties at the burger joint he loves — but Mr. Krabs concedes such labor
would be illegal, and he would lose his license.
The blow is especially hard on SpongeBob, since his lazy
co-worker Squidward gets to keep his job because of seniority — even though the
grumpy octopus hates working at the Krusty Krab and constantly complains about
it.
The episode “SpongeBob, You’re Fired!” airs Monday, Nov. 11
at 7 p.m. (Eastern) on Nickelodeon.
