Characters
outline
The sequence opens up as SpongeBob wakes up one dawn, realizing that it is Sunday, and decides to have an ice rink cream “ ice-cream sundae ” for breakfast. however, he sees he has no ice cream and finds standard toppings like bananas and cherries to be blasé, sol he alternatively creates a new type of ice-cream sundae made from onions, catsup, and the contents of a about dead pot peanut plant. Unbeknownst to SpongeBob, the result of eating the ice-cream sundae is intense halitosis ( i.e. bad breath ) .
After breakfast, SpongeBob begins his Sunday disturbance number, which consists of saying “ Hi ! ” to everyone in town. unfortunately, the town are universally disgusted by the smell of SpongeBob ‘s sour breath and run aside from him. SpongeBob is very baffled by this, and asks Patrick if he notices anything wrong with him. Patrick, not having a nose, can not discern the foul smell. After running down a list of possibilities, Patrick concludes that SpongeBob is plainly surly. SpongeBob is dismayed by this revelation and isolates himself in his family. late, Patrick visits SpongeBob, who has resigned to become a anchorite and tells Patrick to just go run away from him like everyone else. Patrick then tells SpongeBob the fib of The Ugly Barnacle, which fails to cheer him up. Patrick then encourages him to take pride in his nefariousness. It works, and SpongeBob ‘s confidence grows, so they decide to go see a movie at the Reef Cinema. As they take their seats, all of the movie-goers even try to avoid SpongeBob, which angers Patrick and sends him into a tirade. Patrick forces the early viewers to look at SpongeBob. With every bible SpongeBob speaks, the viewers panic and flee, soon leaving no one in the auditorium. Patrick gets athirst, so they go to the lobby to buy a bite. however, no one is at the counter. rather, SpongeBob pulls some of his ice-cream sundae out of his pouch and gives them to Patrick. After eating them, Patrick feels a sudden urge to use the toilet.

While washing his hands, Patrick asks a pisces following to him for some soap, but he quickly runs off. Upon finding no matchless will stay within his vicinity, Patrick fears he has caught “ the atrocious ” from SpongeBob and hides in a stall with a paper udder over his head .
finally, SpongeBob smells Patrick ‘s highly clog breath and tries to tell the rambling Patrick before shouting at him to get his attention. He then tells Patrick that it is not his appearance, but his breath which stinks, much to Patrick ‘s relief. SpongeBob then asks what he ate, after being told it was the ice-cream sundae SpongeBob made. The latter realizes that they are not ugly, but just have bad breath from the ice-cream sundae. vastly relieved their appearance was not the problem, the two begin to run around cheering, “ We stink ! “, causing their noxious breath to melt down the dramaturgy. SpongeBob and Patrick run into Squidward, looking at wigs in a window display. The episode ends as SpongeBob cries out in joy, “ Guess what, Squidward ? We stink ! ” as they hug him, leaving Squidward staring blankly as SpongeBob and Patrick start running off laughing and cheering .

reception
- “Something Smells” was ranked #70 during the SpongeBob’s Top 100 event in the UK and Ireland from June 4-8, 2012.
trivium
General
- In the French dub, the background for the title card is the exact same background from “Big Pink Loser.”
- Innuendo: SpongeBob screaming “I’m ugly and I’m proud!”, followed by Squidward replying, “Is that what he calls it?”
cultural references
- After SpongeBob finishes his sundae, he says to Gary, “You know what they say, Gary… I’m easy like Sunday morning,” which is a reference to the chorus of The Commodores’ 1977 song “Easy.”
- The shot with SpongeBob playing the organ and wearing a mask is a reference to The Phantom of the Opera.
- The Ugly Barnacle is a reference to The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen.
- The glasses SpongeBob wears in this episode are a parody of Groucho Marx.
Errors
- In the opening credits, when Edgar Larrazábal is credited as an animation director, his last name is misspelled as Larrazabla. This error was fixed in later airings of this episode and the iTunes version.
- In one shot, SpongeBob has sleeves. In the next shot, they disappear.
- After SpongeBob goes from his bedroom to his kitchen to make the sundae, when he opens the door, his bedroom wallpaper is shown instead of his living room; SpongeBob’s bedroom is not located next to his kitchen.
- When SpongeBob opens the giant ketchup bottle and squeezes it into his sundae bowl, his right hand is on backwards.
- Once SpongeBob squeezes the giant ketchup bottle into the bowl, steam is shown coming out of the ketchup. This is incorrect, as ketchup never has steam.
- When SpongeBob is making the sundae, the peanut plant vase that he throws in changes direction between shots.
- When SpongeBob walks to Patrick when Patrick is on the bench, Patrick’s legs are missing.
- In all Nickelodeon/Nicktoons USA, Nick@Nite and UK airings of this episode and the iTunes version, SpongeBob walks up to a building and says, “Hi, building!” which causes the building to flee from SpongeBob’s breath. He goes up to Patrick and says, “I just don’t get it!” and Patrick says, “I don’t either.”
- However, on all DVD releases, the Nautical Nonsense and Undersea Antics Volume 1 VHS tapes, the Nick Scene It? DVD game, WCO, Canadian airings on YTV and Nickelodeon Canada, Polish airings, Australian airings and Arab airings, the scene instead goes like this:
- SpongeBob: [walks up to a building and waves] I just don’t get it! [the building flees]
- Patrick: [off-screen] I don’t, either. [SpongeBob walks up to Patrick; the rest of the scene goes as normal, resulting in the same lines being repeated].
- According to the audio commentary on the season 2 DVD, this was a sound mixing error. The music also repeats itself incorrectly at that point. It is made obvious since SpongeBob’s mouth still clearly says the intended line. However, the closed-captioning on the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies and Season 2 DVDs still use the original correct line. But on The First 100 Episodes DVD, the closed-captioning has been updated to match the incorrect audio.
- However, on all DVD releases, the Nautical Nonsense and Undersea Antics Volume 1 VHS tapes, the Nick Scene It? DVD game, WCO, Canadian airings on YTV and Nickelodeon Canada, Polish airings, Australian airings and Arab airings, the scene instead goes like this:
Closed-captioning on Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD ( This one is written in all caps ) . Closed-captioning on The Complete 2nd Season DVD . Closed-captioning on The first 100 Episodes DVD.

- When Patrick sees SpongeBob in his house, playing the organ, SpongeBob has a mask on, but after SpongeBob turns around and Patrick lifts him, the mask is gone.
- At Reef Cinema:
- Multiple duplicate fish can be seen:
- When the duo walks into one of the stadium rooms, the same few fish are duplicated.
- When Patrick says “Look at it!”, two blue Incidental 1 models and two Incidental 6 models can be seen.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick enter a stadium:
- There are six seats per row, but a few seconds before SpongeBob and Patrick take a seat, there appears to be more seats per row.
- It is in a wide-shot, and Tom is next to the red fish, Harold. However, a couple seconds before SpongeBob and Patrick get to Harold, he is sitting next to the red-haired fish.
- Also, upon arriving, almost every seat has someone in it, but when SpongeBob gets to the front row, very few seats are filled.
- SpongeBob and Patrick first sit in the front row. But later, when Patrick lifts SpongeBob, they appear to be in the middle row.
- Multiple duplicate fish can be seen:
- When SpongeBob talks to the blue woman in the red dress, the fish in the background change colors from blue to green to red.
- When Patrick says “Don’t worry about him, SpongeBob,” the fish turns back to green.
- After Patrick shouts “I want all of you to look at it!”, seemingly everyone abandons the theater, leaving it completely empty. However, later, when Patrick goes to the bathroom, people are still there. It is possible that they are lucky enough not to smell the bad breath.
- In the bathroom, when SpongeBob first opens the stall door, Patrick’s reflection does not move.
- For a split second when SpongeBob starts yelling “Patrick!”, a majority of his holes are missing. However, the reflection on the floor has holes.
