Plot

A robotic fish designed to look like an ordinary customer walks into the Krusty Krab. It is a disguise used by Plankton to try and find out the Krabby Patty secret formula. But he doesn't ask for a Krabby Patty. He tells SpongeBob that he will win $1,000,000 if he tells him the Krabby Patty secret formula. He says that it can only be discussed with Mr. Krabs in public. Later, Plankton's robotic Mr. Krabs tells Squidward he can have the day off and tries to make SpongeBob tell him the secret formula. However, the real Mr. Krabs keeps on coming into the room they are in, so he has to hide and he emerges again when the real Mr. Krabs leaves. He throws a penny out the window and the real Mr. Krabs chases it. Afterwards, robot Krabs learns that for the secret recipe to be discussed, he must first do a secret handshake, a ridiculously long and complicated ceremony that takes around 7 hours to accomplish. SpongeBob is about to give him a bottle with the recipe inside, until the real Mr. Krabs comes in. SpongeBob gives them both a quiz about the Krusty Krab, threatening to blast the fake one with tartar sauce. The imitation Krab somehow guesses all the answers to the quiz correctly and Mr. Krabs somehow gets them all wrong. SpongeBob presumes that the robotic Mr. Krabs is the real one, until he finds out that he's fake. He gives the fake one a penny (He puts in a slot), which activates the self-destruct sequence that causes Plankton to be blown into the sky.

Trivia/Goofs/Notes

• The title of this episode is based off of imitation crab meat.
• Fifth time Plankton tried to steal the formula (in the series).
• In this episode, Mr. Krabs says that he doesn't know the meaning of day off. But in the episode, "Bubble Buddy", SpongeBob had the day off.
• Running gag: Every time Plankton's robot Krabs says a lie, he makes a sound of a robot breaking down and gas comes out of his exhaust tube.
• Some music were also used for the shows: Count Duckula and DangerMouse
• The prices of the Krabby Patty as mentioned in the question below are the opposite prices used at McDonald's: $2.99 for burger, $0.99 on Wednesday.

• Mr. Krabs: $2.99!
• SpongeBob: On Wednesday.
• Plankton: $0.99!
• SpongeBob (to Mr. Krabs): RIGHT! That's one strike, Mr. Fake!

• When SpongeBob asks the question only the really, real Mr. Krabs could answer, "If we're discussing the secret formula on the third Wednesday in January and it's not raining outside, after we gargle with vanilla pudding, what do we do?", the word "vanilla" is excluded in the captions.
• This is the second time we see a face on a coin actually move. The first time was in Squid's Day Off, when the dime winked at Mr. Krabs.
• SpongeBob, Plankton, and Mr. Krabs do the "Krabs-Plankton"-Chant again in the season four episode, Enemy In-Law. SpongeBob also ends that one.
• This is the first episode that Mr. Krabs is accussed for being a robot.
