Report: SpongeBob Squarepants OUT At the Krusty Krab

Oh, no! Even beloved “SpongeBob SquarePants” isn’t safe from corporate downsizing.

The harsh economic climate has infiltrated the underwater community of Bikini Bottom when, after 14 loyal years of flipping krabby patties at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is unceremoniously bounced from his job in an upcoming episode of the iconic Nickelodeon ’toon.

According to the NY Post, the ebullient sea sponge very literally gets “canned,” “pink-slipped” and “axed” by the greedy Mr. Krabs when his boss discovers he can save a whole nickel by eliminating happy-go-lucky SpongeBob from the payroll.

A tearful SpongeBob offers to work for free, frying up Krabby Patties at the burger joint he loves — but Mr. Krabs concedes such labor would be illegal, and he would lose his license.

The blow is especially hard on SpongeBob, since his lazy co-worker Squidward gets to keep his job because of seniority — even though the grumpy octopus hates working at the Krusty Krab and constantly complains about it.

The episode “SpongeBob, You’re Fired!” airs Monday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. (Eastern) on Nickelodeon.
