In the Season 5 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled “Boat Smarts”, the episode is a parody of driving safety videos that showcase the driving habits of Squidward Tentacles, a driver with boat smarts, and SpongeBob, a driver without boat smarts. Most of the comedy in this episode stems from Squidward being the receiving end of collateral damage due to SpongeBob’s poor driving skills, and the various types of slapstick that come from it. There was this one scene in the episode that involves SpongeBob rear-ending Squidward which causes him to fly out of his boat, only to be crushed by a spiky steamroller. Also called, “The Contraption.” This makes me wonder. Why would a vehicle like this even exist in the first place? I have two possible theories as for why a vehicle like this would exist in the SpongeBob universe. For both of these reasons, I will be using bits and pieces from other SpongeBob episodes as evidence for my claims, as well as quotes from the show’s creators. Enjoy!
