The Chum Mystery (Review)

Get ready for another review! This time we go to the popular and well known Spin Off Absorbent Days! We will review the Series 2 short The Chum Mystery. Ok enough talking and more reviewing....

Review
Plankton: [camera cuts to a short-shot of Plankton, lying on a dining table] Will these things always be empty? [rubs table] Sanitized, yet no food to dirty it?

Plankton likes messy tables? Weird.....

Plankton: I've spent thousands of dollars on all of these tables combined, yet my tables just stand around here without a plate or tray to comfort them.

Love the speech but you need to actually start doing something if you want customers.....

Karen: The only reason people don't dine here is because of the [coughs and lifts plate of chum] fare that is served here.

Lol the jokes here are hilarious!

Plankton: Oh, I know! Why does Bikini Bottom have to be so picky?! It's not like chum is going to kill them or something.

Nice touch of irony!

Plankton: [facepalming; walks to back of Chum Bucket] Don't say it! Failure after failure after hideous failure, I've never been able to even sell one ounce of chum! [opens back doors] All I have is this wide stock of chum to abide as evidence.

Wow he really does sound like he is failure.

Karen: [uninterestedly] You've only programmed me to go at three miles an hour, dear. Why are you needing me to suddenly speed?

Don't remember her being 3mph in speed but none other the less the grammer is excelent!

Karen: What am I looking at?

Plankton: Emptiness, Karen. Emptiness, I tell you!

Karen: Do I need to call the psychiatrist again?

LOL so funny!

Plankton: You don't get it, do you?! [points to large, empty room] This room used to hold twenty-thousand whole pounds of chum, Karen. [looks around worriedly] Where could it have all gone?!

Well your the genius. Figure it out!

Karen: I wouldn't hire a detective if I were you. We've already lost who knows how many thousand dollars worth of stock.

Plankton: [smiling] No need to worry. I've got someone better than a detective. Well...sort of. Better than no one, I guess. [laughs evilly; begins dialing phone]

Well if you are not hiring a detective then who can be better than the bestest option been offered to you?

SpongeBob: [looking at emptiness; looks puzzled] So...why am I looking at emptiness?

Plankton: [facepalms] I guess no one really does come here. [points to sign] It even says "Chum Storage Department"! This used to hold a whoping amount of chum, but now, it's all gone.

Lol even SpongeBob is puzzled!

Plankton: Investigate, my dear lad. [hops onto SpongeBob's head] Investigate like you've never investigated before! [evilly laughs]

Now he's starting to act like Mr. Krabs.......

SpongeBob: [thinking face; normal face] Can we have a cool name for this investigation. It makes it sound more intriguing.

Plankton: [to self] If it helps you get closer to getting me inventory back...[thinks] Fine. You can call this thing the..."Mystery of the Stolen Chum".

SpongeBob: Ooh. [interested] I wonder how many brain cells it took to...

Since when does SpongeBob care about brain cells?

SpongeBob: Hmm. Where to investigate first. [looks around] There must be thousands to look at first.[takes snail food out of cabinet; opens up bag] Come and get it, Gary! [looks inside bag] What is this stuff on the snail food?

Umm how about you LOOK at the box first!?

SpongeBob: Hungry, Gary? [pours food into bowl] Eat up. [as Gary approaches, SpongeBob stops Gary] Wait! Maybe you could wait a minute to tell me what this is on your food.

Gary: [confused] Meow?

SpongeBob: Could this possibly be chum, Gary? Huh? You always were a bottom-feeder.

Don't be daft SpongeBob!

SpongeBob: Another look at the box? [looks at box] Slug Products Inc., now with an added pinch of [in a failed tone] fudge. Okay, you're clean, Gary. [thinking face] Then, who would do this sort of thing?

Come on use your brain!

SpongeBob: [looks in through glass and sees machine] Just as I suspected. [knocks on door]

Sandy: [answers door] Oh. Why, hello, SpongeBob!

SpongeBob: No time for hellos, Sandy. [walks into treedome] I'm here to investigate. [looks at machine] A pretty good machine you have here. [looks at exhaust fan] Looks like it takes a lot of...fossil fuels.

Well of course stupid! What do you think machines are made of! Jelly!?

SpongeBob: Ah ha! What kind of fuel does this thing take, Sandy?! Does it possibly take a substance called...chum...to fuel such a machine?

Sandy: Chum?! What would I want with chum? The only fuel I use is [opens machine door] a pure electricity!

A clear reference to The Patty Caper

SpongeBob: I may have been waiting here for three whole minutes, but I have to wait for Squidward to touch that clarinet for me to get a chance. [looks around] Ooh. Here he comes! [ducks]

You know you could just walk in and ask him a few questions......

Squidward: [walks into room] Da da lee, da da loo, da duh dum. [begins humming] Time to express my beautiful music to this wasteland once again. [grabs clarinet]

Other way round Squidward. Other way round.......

SpongeBob: [busts into window] Wait! [grabs clarinet] What do you have in this instrument, Squidward?

I'm pretty sure this is burgulary.........

Squidward: In the instrument?!

SpongeBob: [takes clarinet apart] As in cork! What do you have as the cork? Possibly chum?! [looks at actual cork] Oh. [laughs nervously] I guess you didn't steal any chum, eh, Squidward? [Squidward turns SpongeBob around; proceeds to kick SpongeBob out of the window]

Ok now your taking it too seriously.......

Mr. Krabs: [looks into kitchen] SpongeBob! Remember you only have ten more minutes for lunch.

TEN MINUTES!? Cheapskate........

SpongeBob: [sadly places spatula to head] Aye, Mr. Krabs. [continues to flip patties with spatula; spatula leaves print on SpongeBob's head; flips patty onto bun] Who would want twenty-thousand whole pounds of chum? [sits down at dining table; takes out patty] I guess we'll never know. [takes bite out of patty; coughs] Yuck! What is that horrible taste?! [looks at patty and sees chum] The chum!

We found our culprit. Funnily enough.......

Customers: [in unison] Chum?! [all customers run out, screaming]

Mr. Krabs: [comes out of office, cheering] Whoo hoo! Yes! Finally

What's he so happy about? He won the lottery or something?

Mr. Krabs: The chum, me boy. It's the chum. It was me who stole all of the chum!

The most sucsessfull business owner in the world has stolen chum from the least sucsessfull business owner in the world? Kinda ironic when you think about it...

Mr. Krabs: As you know, SpongeBob, the Krusty Krab is always full of customers. [squints eyes] Too full, I must say. The customers never give me enough space. Why do I need this space, you ask? To roam. Roam for stray money. But with so many customers, searching for money has become pointless.

Oh my god really!? That is the most stupidest idea in the world!! All you needed to do was close the Krusty Krab!!

SpongeBob: So, you stole the chum to repel the customers from coming to the Krusty Krab. Therefore, adding to your stray-money-roaming space. [crosses arms] Well then, case closed.

I should agree SpongeBob.

Plankton: [offscreen] What?! [camera pans to an angry Plankton] So when I try to steal the formula, I get kicked and sued. Yet, you can just come into my restaurant and steal everything I got?! [points to Mr. Krabs] You're going to pay for this, Krabs! [smirks] Literally.

How did Plankton get in here?

Mr. Krabs: [writes order ticket] One chum patty, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob: [takes order ticket] One chum patty, coming up. [flips patty onto bun; pours chum onto patty]

Mr. Krabs: [takes money from customer; hands to Plankton] Grr...

Why didn't he just get the formula instead of going through this nonsense!?

Plankton: [looks at money] I love getting what I want. [looks at Mr. Krabs] Now if only I could get the formula...

Mr. Krabs: Don't push it!

He should have done in the first place! Krabs took your chum for gods sake!
