Plankton's Army (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Plankton's Army is the second segment of SpongeBob SquarePants' Season 3's 18th episode and the 58th episode of the show overall.

Why It Knows How To Speak Our Language

 * 1) It has many great gags. Examples include:
 * 2) * Plankton's family actually being hillbillies;
 * 3) * The Sheldon joke, until Plankton shuts up;
 * 4) * Mr. Krabs thinking Plankton's family army is his planted grass;
 * 5) * And the ending gags about Plankton's family (including Plankton himself) screaming and running away from the Krusty Krab after thinking they are the most important ingredient in the formula, when it was just a fakeout to protect the actual formula.
 * 6) * Speaking of which, the scene where Mr. Krabs seems to run to his house when Squidward thinks he hid the secret formula under his bed's mattress is hysterical too.
 * 7) It has a heartbreaking (in a good way) moment when Plankton thinks he's a failure forever due to how any times he failed getting the Krabby Patty formula.
 * 8) It's pretty exciting to see Plankton seemingly get the Krabby Patty recipe.
 * 9) The animation is actually a bit above the average standard for SpongeBob animation, specifically the Plankton family army morphing into a hand.
 * 10) The scene with the Plankton beating up Krabs was fairly fast paced.
 * 11) The plot is very suspenseful and does a great job at building things up.
 * 12) Overall, the best Plankton episode by far, and Season 3's standout episode.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Karen can come off as a bit unlikeable to some.
