All That Glitters- SpongeBob is given the job of making a ridiculously large Krabby Patty for a customer. SpongeBob faces a terrible experience when his favorite anthropomorphic spatula, Spats, breaks. It's taken the hospital and SpongeBob decides to get a new spatula-which costs him all his clothes. The new robot spatula turns out to be too stuck up to make a few patties, so SpongeBob tries to get his old spatula back in the job. This episode isn't too funny and it dosen't have any deep emotional story either. The only good part was the conversation with the doctor at the beginning. 4.5/10 Wishing You Well- Mr. Krabs sees a great money-making scheme: build a wishing well and take everyone's money at the end of the day. He tells SpongeBob-who's a firm believer of magic-to collect the money, and later Patrick and Squidward find themselves in the well. After many strange antics, SpongeBob and Patrick dig deeper in the well and actually find the magic. This episode is much funnier and has a better story than All That Glitters. My favorite part was when SpongeBob and Patrick believe "claustrophobic" meant he was afraid of Santa Claus. This is an episode where Mr. Krabs plays the role of the antagonist-or, at least close to one-and I find episodes like that interesting. 6.5/10

All That Glitters So Spongebob broke his spatula and has to find a new one so he buys a priceless spatula that is worth all that he has including his outfit so he trys put the spatula only to figure out its completely worthless and he reunites with his original spatula but Spatula was disappointed by Spongebob's actions and Spongebob starts crying and he says "All The Glitters Is Not Gold" so he goes back to the Krusty Krab and Spatula and Spongebob reunite and continue making Krabby Patties.

Wishing you Well Mr Krabs dosnt believe in any wishes and everyone's throws the coins down the well which made Mr. Krabs angry and trys to get them out and Spongebob said this will grant you wishes and everyone's wishes come true but Mr. Krabs still dosnt believe it so he wishes to be served on a plate which made me laugh so hard So I give this Episode a A+ Great Plots in both episodes.

It was a moment of weakness!

All That Glitters:

After SpongeBob accidentally breaks the beloved spatula he's been using ever since he started working at Krusty Krabs, he goes into a depression. He attempts to replace it with a new one, but all it results in is making him even sadder than before.

Yes, it's true what they say. This is definitely one of the strangest segments that SpongeBob has made. However, as someone who is into very odd, surreal humor, I like this one. The whole idea of SpongeBob losing his freaking mind over a spatula is so outrageous that it's funny. It's written like a faux soap opera. He tries to move on since Spat (that's what he calls his spatula) is in a coma indefinitely by buying a new one, which is called Le Spatula. Short on money however, he's forced to sell everything he has, even his clothes. But to his chagrin his new spatula is a pretentious jerk, and quickly ditches SpongeBob since he sees him as unworthy of possessing his talents. Spat does wake up, but when he finds out about his betrayal he decides to break up with SpongeBob. That's right, a previously inanimate spatula suddenly becomes sentient just so he can end the relationship with his beloved sponge companion. It's gloriously absurd.

Just as he is rolling around crying on the floor as well we also have another SpongeBob sliding up in the centre of screen staring blankly at the viewers by saying "All that glitters is not gold." in a monotone voice. Creepy, yet very amusing in an odd way.

Shortly after, Spat forgives SpongeBob and everything is well again. A hand comes out from the left corner of the screen to challenge his strength, but instead of the spatula getting broken his arms break off instead. You expect him to scream in pain, but he starts laughing hysterically. Somehow I wonder if he still doesn't have his head screwed on tight.

Wishing You Well:

After Mr. Krabs sees a kid throwing a coin down a well, he's introduced to the concept of wishing wells and decides to open one himself to make money off it.

This is more of a traditional story than All That Glitters, and gets a good amount of mileage out of the premise. The song as SpongeBob and Squidward build the well is not one that gets stuck in your brain, but is nice to listen to nevertheless. Mr. Krabs is his classic greedy self, telling SpongeBob that he's getting a "promotion" and sending him down the well to collect the money people have thrown inside of it. Patrick mistaking the well for a trashcan, then believing it's a talking trashcan when SpongeBob hollers at him from underneath is pretty funny. I also like that Patrick throws himself in the well together with the coin, since he wishes his friend was there to see the talking trashcan. It gets even better once Squidward falls down the well too, with Patrick mistaking his claustrophobia as being afraid of Santa Claus, then he steps on not just SpongeBob's foot, but also Patrick's potato salad and ribs which he for some inexplicable reason brought with him.

The three of them eventually get out of the well, but to Mr. Krabs' letdown none of them bring back any money. SpongeBob instead tells him they found magic, which he brushes off as nonsense. Even as every wish is coming true, such as Plankton turning into a fearless giant Krabs refuses to believe in magic anyway. What follows after this is my favorite part of the whole episode. He makes a bet that he won't be "steamed and served with a side of melted butter". Of course, Krabs turns into a real-life crab and what he "wished" for is exactly what happened. It's a hilarious poetic justice resolution.

Wishing You Well is the slightly better one of the two, but both stories are entertaining.
