    In this episode SpongeBob has to stall the kids until Mr. Krabs dresses up as Krabby the Clown...by INTENTIONALLY hurting himself for the kids' pleasure!!! What kind of messed up message is THAT sending?

    that's so true! Krabby Land is one of my favorite episodes, but that message is pretty bad. you never really realize something bad in a spongebob episode until you are in your teenage years or over

    Well, SpongeBob says it himself: "They seem to respond to me being in pain. They enjoy other people's misery" It's like The Three Stooges for example, they were funny because they hurt each other, kids seem to like that, I guess

    But eventually he decided not to hurt himself anymore. So he chose to turn away from pressure, which is a better message.

    The series generally sends good messages. For example, in Hooky, Mr. Krabs taught how getting addicted to the hooks could get you in big trouble. Now what does that sound like?

    Thinking about it, it's sort of clever how they get such a serious issue, and turn it into a perfectly suitable for children episode.
