Songs: "Loop de Loop" (performed by Ween)
Want to learn how to tie your shoe?
It's a very easy thing to do.
Sit on down and I'll give you the scoop
What's that?
It's called the loop-dee-loop.
You got to take a lace in each hand
Go over and under again
Make a loop-dee-loop and pull
And your shoes are lookin' cool.
Go over and back
Left to right
Loop-dee-loop
And you pull 'em tight!
Like bunny ears or a Christmas bow,
Lace 'em up and you're ready to go!
Make a loop-dee-loop and pull
And your shoes are lookin' cool.
(instrumental)
Make a loop-dee-loop and pull
And your shoes are lookin' cool.

[edit] Plot

This episode starts out with SpongeBob watching TV. Then Patrick comes bursting through the door with a pair of shoes on his hands. SpongeBob asks to see them on his feet and Patrick says that he doesn't know how to tie his shoes. SpongeBob says that he'll teach Patrick, and unties his shoes. However, when he tried to tie them again in order to show Patrick, he realises that he hasn't tied his shoes for so long that he's forgotten how to tie them. After Patrick leaves, SpongeBob goes to bed but when he wakes up he still doesn't remember. He still has to go to work though. It takes a while for SpongeBob to get to work because he keeps tripping over his shoelaces. When he finally gets there, Patrick's there eating a burger. He doesn't want to look bad in front of Patrick so he pounds his feet into the floor boards so that Patrick can't see them. Patrick asks if SpongeBob has gotten shorter and SpongeBob says yes. He makes two big cracks across the floor as he slides his feet in the floor. When he gets inside the kitchen he crawls while laying down to the grill. He makes a Krabby Patty, and then tries to give it to Squidward but can't make it without tripping. So he trips and throws the Krabby Patty into Squidward's mouth. After doing this several times, Squidward is seen from behind and he's huge because of eating all those Krabby Patties. Mr. Krabs then comes out of the bathroom in his underwear, all the customers leave, and he asks Squidward what's wrong. Squidward replies that it's all SpongeBob's fault and Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob out. SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that he can't remember how to tie his shoes so he asks him for help. Mr. Krabs doesn't wear shoes, so SpongeBob finally cracks and starts asking everyone if they know how to tie laces. Everyone says no, but then SpongeBob encounters The Flying Dutchman, who teaches SpongeBob various knots except the one SpongeBob needs to tie his shoes. So SpongeBob goes home thinking that he'll never tie his shoes again, but Gary, surprisingly, ties his shoes for him. SpongeBob, amazed, asks Gary where he learned to tie shoes and Gary puts on a record. A song starts playing about how to tie your shoes (Loop dee Loop). After the song, the episode is over.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

• At the beginning of the episode, SpongeBob is watching TV. On the TV is a pink sea anemone waving around and when Gary walks in, he gets startled and quickly changes the channel. This is supposed to be like SpongeBob is watching 'naked' cnidarian pornography. Also, the sponge being pink could mean that it's supposed to be a girl, indicating that SpongeBob is heterosexual.
• The knots the Flying Dutchman makes are (in the right order):
  • The Pretzel Knot
  • The Double Diamond Knot
  • The Square Knot
  • The Constrictor
  • The Gut Knot
  • The Pillow Knot
  • The Butterfly Knot
  • The Monkey Chain
  • The Monkey's Fist
  • The Monkey
  • The Loop Knot (otherwise known as the Poop Loop)
• The Constrictor isn't a knot at all. It just looks like it's twisted around SpongeBob.
• When Gary tries to get SpongeBob's attention, the lights are off. Then, when he has tied SpongeBob's laces and SpongeBob says "Well I'll be! You can tie shoes!", the lights are on.
• Patrick's shoes appear to be navy blue hi-top Converse All-Stars.
• The TV-shots of the pink sea anemone and the American football match also appear on TV at Patchy the Pirate's house in the lost episode 'The Sponge Who Could Fly' (near the end where Patchy ruins the videotape as he messes with the remote).
• While the Loop-Dee-Loop Song is about tying shoelaces, it doesn't become very clear how to actually do it.
• SpongeBob's worn tied shoes since he was an sperm.
• This is the second episode in which the grill is on the opposite side of the window.
• When SpongeBob starts asking people how to tie shoes, everyone just left, so there couldn't have been any customers there.
• Right about when SpongeBob enters the Krusty Krab kitchen, his skin turns a darker yellow for the rest of the episode.
• When Mr. Krabs comes out of the bathroom, he has his pants down, with his underwear completely exposed. A fish then says, "Oh yeah, we are definitely out." But the fish who says this is naked. Isn't that a little worse?
• In this episode, SpongeBob mentions his shoes hadn't been untied since he was an egg, but in Rock Bottom, he ties his shoes while waiting for the bus to arrive.
