Mr. Krabs was feeling it earlier this week once again when it was discovered that a banned SpongeBob SquarePants episode made its way to Paramount+ via Amazon Prime Video, only to be pulled again.
According to IGN, we know that “Mid-life Crustacean” was the episode in question, and it was viewable because of a “technical error.” In Mid-life Crustacean, Mr. Krabs deals with a mid-life crisis. So to battle that, he decides to hang out with SpongeBob and Patrick, which eventually leads them to go on a “panty raid,” where Mr. Krabs steals his mom’s underwear.
Mid-life Crustacean has been out of rotation for the past five years. When Paramount+ launched last year, a Nickelodeon representative stated that the episode was removed because it was “determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate.” Many fans believe it was pulled primarily due to the “panty raid” scene.
