Krabs asks SpongeBob and Squidward if they have any ideas to bring in any more customers. A talent show is agreed upon, and Squidward, seeking fame and recognition in any form, agrees to take the part as host and director. Squidward refuses to let SpongeBob perform because he believes that SpongeBob will be terrible on stage, but Squidward’s interpretive dance as the closing act, what he calls the “Incomprable Squidward”, turns out to be hated by the audience. Tomatoes are thrown on stage, Squidward says that his audience does not “know talent” and then tells SpongeBob that he can go on stage and clean up. As SpongeBob walks on stage and begins to mop, the crowd begins to cheer. SpongeBob walks off stage, and Squidward mistakenly believes that they were cheering him on, returns to the stage only to have another tomato thrown at him. SpongeBob returns to the stage as Squidward leaves, mops, and the crowd rants, raves, and cheers him on. When Squidward takes the mop and goes on stage, the crowd ceases to cheer. Squidward tries to get applause, but the crowd vehemently will only cheer for SpongeBob when he cleans. The crowd’s applause serves to glorify SpongeBob’s work ethic, and the cease of applause ridicules Squidward’s attempt to do anything that will make him recognized. SpongeBob did not go on stage for fame, but instead to do his job, and to do it well, whatever that may entail, and his pursuits are applauded. Squidward’s hopes for class

Krabs climbed from a poor child to a rich owner of a popular restaurant. Yet Mr. Krabs is not portrayed as a success story, for much of his success derives from immoral doings and greediness. Mr. Krabs is seen in “Culture Shock” jumping frantically onto a table to take a penny tip left by a customer. He capitalizes upon Squidward’s terrible performance by selling tomatoes to guests to be thrown on stage. In “Money Talks”, Mr. Krabs’ obsession with money is illuminated. The episode begins at the Krusty Krab. A customer walks in and asks for a table occupied by an elderly couple. The man bribes Krabs with five dollars in order to get the table, and Krabs physically throws the elderly couple out of the restaurant for the money. Mr. Krabs will do almost anything for a quick buck, and if a series of disdainful actions are to account for his fortune, then his success with the American Dream is diminished in …show more content…
Krabs. One day in the Krusty Krab, a famous food critic visits the restaurant to review the food and service. Krabs is vehement that the Krusty Krab receive a high score, not because it is deserving of a high score or because he takes pride in his restaurant and work, but because a good review will bring in more customers. The better the review, the more money he will make. SpongeBob is also nervous about serving the critic. But SpongeBob is nervous because, unlike Krabs, he is passionate about his work, takes pride in his creations, and would not want to hear that his dedication and love were not producing a delicious meal for customers. The tension builds as the news cast presenting the review plays. As soon as SpongeBob hears that he did an amazing job he says “Well, back to work,” and modestly returns to his station behind the grill. Krabs, on the other hand, changes the name of the restaurant to the “Crusty Sponge” and capitalizes upon everyone’s love for
