    Amazing!

    This episode is brilliant! The plot is very clever and reminds me of Suds, another episode that used SpongeBob's spongy nature effectively. The idea to give SpongeBob an abrasive green side is very funny and you wonder why they haven't incorporated it in another episode! The characters are all themselves and feel right, and the comedy is down-right amazing! The overtime joke with Mr. Krabs especially had me laughing out loud! And the animation is also very nice and the design of the abrasive side is pretty good too. A funny and clever episode that incorporates all of the cast in an 11 minute run-time deserves a grand applause!

    • Trivia
      Abrasive SpongeBob makes a reference to "The Lost Mattress" when he says, "I wouldn't hang out with you for all the money you left in Krabs' mattress!".
    • Goofs
      While Spongebob is looking in the mirror, his abrasive side is facing the mirror. He turns around and his normal face is showing, but his abrasive side is still showing up on the mirror.

      SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs! Mr. Krabs!

      Mr. Krabs: [gasps] What do you want now, Mr. Pottymouth?

      SpongeBob: But, Mr. Krabs, I would never use immoderate language like...

      Abrasive SpongeBob: Overtime!

      Mr. Krabs: [screams] Arrrgh! Out, out, and stay out! And don't you come back until you've swabbed that poop deck you call a mouth!
