Great summary from the Spongebob Wiki (spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Kra...
A depressed Plankton wakes up and goes to the Krusty Krab one morning without a plan to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, telling Karen that he will "wing it", not knowing what he might get himself into. When he goes inside, he slips on the floor where SpongeBob just mopped and is ridiculed by Mr. Krabs. Two customers observing the incident comment that there should've be a wet floor sign and that they would sue Krabs for everything he possesses if that happened to them, including the Krabby Patty secret formula. Plankton then pretends to be badly injured and, after paramedics come and pick him up, Plankton threatens to sue Mr. Krabs unless he gives him the formula, but Mr. Krabs angrily refuses.
Fearing that he will lose the case, Mr. Krabs hires a lawyer named Richard A. Bottomfeeder, who tells him that he will not charge him anything unless they win and that they will counter-sue Plankton for everything he owns. Later, in Mr. Krabs' office, SpongeBob wants to read his testimony speech to Mr. Krabs. However, Mr. Krabs declines SpongeBob's testimony and tells him that he could be more of a liability than an asset. Unfortunately, as they prepare to leave for the court hearing, Richard slips and falls, breaking his back. He gives SpongeBob his briefcase, saying that they only need what's inside the briefcase to win the case. SpongeBob takes Richard's suit and arrives late to the trial, dubbing himself "SpongeBob LawyerPants" to Judge Stickleback.

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

LegalEagle omg haha the next video on my play list is already that tier zoo vid!!! Love ya legal eagle
you should consider doing a video about times people represented themselves, both when it worked and didnt
Hey , can you create a video about the trial of Barry Allen, in the show " The flash "? It's on season 4. In the trial he's accused of murdering a person.
It was quite different than the trial of the punisher, and it would be superb to hear your proffesional opinion.
Objection: Please review movie Fracture, it is the best legal movie ever made, and very clever use of double jeopardy.
C+? I agree wholeheartedly with your defense, but even though SpongeBob isn't a lawyer, he definitely defended Krabs.
"Bottomfeeder."
"Objection!"
"On what grounds?"
"...My feelings..."
on what ground?? the ocean floor i reckon
On what grounds
He is throwing racial slurs at me
@Sifulete :/ What?
@Sifulete :/ you're a snowflake
☝️😲 OVERRULED! You’re feelings are not relevant to the court. So you can forget a box of tissues.
I never thought I would hear the phrase “Spongebob could face serious repercussions for pretending to be a lawyer” but here we are I guess
One of my FAVORITE things about living in 2019 tbh. I subscribed after that. (Came here because of the TierZoo Collab on Spongebob (which was also surreal to watch)...
Said by an actual lawyer.
Tornadoc Films @LegalEagle this is in which I have my first objection. Throughout the series, Spongebob has been known to be insanely smart and holds multiple career abilities even though he acts absolutely dumb, which is likely on purpose to maintain his youthful appearance and behavior, which he sometimes ends up forgetting he’s an adult. In fact, you can present the proof in multiple episodes that Spongebob is very very very good at tests and most knowledge and physical based skills despite failing the actual driving behind the wheel tests time and time again.
Spongebob could and I believe has actually gone to law school and actually passed his bar exam, albeit barely due to his “bubbly personality”, but ultimately decided he wanted to fulfill his dream of being a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. Other skills and things he’s skilled at and passed, marketing, acting, singing, a black belt in karate (proved many times) and has actually been in some construction projects
Timothy Reynolds
Like Patrick? I think Patrick is the complete opposite, not too different though. Patrick is insanely smart, to me. But he seems to have forget whatever he thinks. Like amnesia.
Ha noob, it's not illegal in fish law
Plankton winning $1 in fees would actually be pretty funny, especially considering Krabs wouldn't want to pay that and Plankton would be bitter about getting it.
He should win Krabs' first dollar he ever earned.
@@magicblanket2414 Even if the show's continuity isn't completely accurate, it would be funny if was Krabs's millionth dollar.
Should have been that blended dollar
That would just be the best ending ever.
@@mysticmind4563 would've been funnier if it was his first dime that looks like a wheel
The irony of Mr. Krabs' lawyer being rendered incapacitated by the same negligence that allowed Plankton to sue him in the first place is underappreciated
Goes to show SpongeBob chooses the wrong time to clean the floor
I'm actually quite surprised that there wasn't a follow-up law suit against Krabs by his original lawyer... though it was proven that Planktons injuries were faked, the lawyers looked very real and he unlike plankton probably would have had more success against Krabs
Also the fact that SpongeBob’s “wet floor” sign could be responsible for future injuries and/or tetanus with all those nails sticking out lol
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that krabs sold spongebobs soul for 62 cents
Bob Bobby true that brother
Though he did regret doing so and begged for him back when he realized his mistake and the Dutchman gave him back (though for unrelated reasons)
Tell em to bring me my money!! (Coach voice)
How can we forget😩😭
You think he could've gotten more?
How to tell when a lawyer has an amazing sense of humor: he takes the time to actually review the legality of a Spongebob episode.
Was a hilarious watch.
Eyyy I was 1k
A lawyer and handsome. No homo image his girlfriend
Just better watch it, because this is his sales pitch, reviewing a sponge-bob episode. It's how, or at least part of how he makes a living. That aside, I havn't seen anyone else try something like this yet lol. But again that would be the point.
And that's why Devin Stone (LegalEagle) is awesome.
"There should be a wet floor sign.”
Objection. They are marine animals at the bottom of the ocean.
A wet floor is the default and expected condition.
In fact, a dry floor would be hazardous to all of the restaurant staff and patrons.
Therefore providing a wet floor was due diligence on behalf of Mr. Crabs.
Mic drop, followed by a reprimand from the judge to refrain from dropping the mic.
I'll assume you also weren't in the well without direct permission.
If I were him, I would said "Objection Overrulled". Some parts of the water is more salted than the other parts of the ocean. So it would be possible for them to slip and probably have it as a drink. So its reasonable for him to need a wet floor sign.
Bruh he said that
Overruled! The laws of physics are practically non existent in spongebob
Then, again.. this is a cartoon.
It’s pretty incredible that SpongeBob and Plankton managed to make more actual good points than half of the lawyers in other shows.
Honestly cartoons and live action comedies actually get lawyers and the Court room spot on
Cough cough *she hulk* cough cough
@@ucihasasuke-oo2ti The show was better than Inhumans though they didn't enough time to contact a lawyer, i mean both Matt and Jen are practiced lawyers in MCU while Spongebob is just a civilian who can't even sue all protagonists of Inhumans
@@ucihasasuke-oo2tiThe people in the show even admitted they don'y know how to write court scenes!
I love how an episode of SpongeBob has more accurate courtroom procedure than the Bee movie which was completely based on a lawsuit.
Well, it would make sense: this was a funny joke based on an actual serious case.
Bee Movie was just a joke...not really even a funny one, either.
@@collegemaster5683 BIG Oof
I love it even more that it received a higher realism grade than some of the other reviews Legal Eagle did on shows that actually have law as their centre point (HTGAWM, Phoenix Wright, ..)
SpongeBob ain't so stupid after all! :)
@@collegemaster5683 wait it was supposed to be a joke?

I didnt laugh....
Ironic - Palpatine
Finally we get to the cases that matter to the average man
why does this have no comments
@@bomadden9619
What's there to talk about?
He's right lol
Now we need a shirt that Sponge Bob quotes ,"The Bailiff will tackle you!"
😂😂😂
XD
Actually, you CAN have standing water underwater. Underwater rivers and lakes are a thing, no joke. There's an underwater river in the Black Sea that was discovered in 2010! An underwater river forms because of differences in salinity, which causes a difference in density. This forms layers of water, better known as a halocline. In the case of the Black Sea, it stems from salty water spilling through the Bosphorus from the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea, where the water has a lower salt content. They can be pretty dangerous due to pressure differences and can pull you in, like it has to many fish, it causes them to drown (because it's MUCH saltier). Yes, fish drowning...in an underwater river.
The more you know..
@@thebluepineapple684 the creator of SpongeBob mentioned that in an interview and explained that's how they move around too
There's still zero explanation for the underwater fires that happen a LOT, even just in the handful of episodes I've been stuck watching!
@@eileene.5870
Magnesium. Checkmate.
I agree, there are 5 zones for sea animals and they are called Sunlight Zone, Twilight Zone , Midnight Zone , The Abyss and the Hadal Zone. If a fish was in the wrong layer they’d DROWN like a turtle in the sunlight zone going to the midnight zone , they would die!
Fun fact: "Plankton" is really a slang term for any tiny animal that drifts around with the currents. Baby crabs are tiny and drift around with the currents, and usually considered plankton. So at one point in his life....Mr Krabs was a plankton...
Given their background that makes sense
Objection: Krabs can easily submit a counter-claim on the grounds of Harassment. Plankton is a consistent menace to Krab's business, conspiring to fraud, damage of property, and kidnapping of employees. And that's only season 1.
brandon roberts maybe, but that is neither illegal nor direct harm for Krabs. Unless his restaurant was squashed by a kaiju- robot that Plankton built during his attack. In which case he can sue for damages on that.
@@frankwest5388 He did obtain and utilize the secret formula in the first movie, which is trade secrets theft. And if Spongebob's journey to claim Krabs' innocence counts as a work-related activity, hiring an assassin to interfere with said activity may also be a big no-no.
@@swishfish8858 The movie was originally intended to be the series fanale but Nick wanted to keep the show going.
Coca Cola couldn't stop their customers, or even rivals, from purchasing a can and chemically assessing it. A burger I imagine would be rather more easy to assess than a syrup. Krabs takes wildly extreme actions to prevent Plankton from even legally and honestly purchasing a burger.
@@robertjarman3703 Plankton: huh I never thought of that.

When I got injured at work, they had me go to one of their doctors to be “examined”. She found me to be faking the pain and being overly dramatic. (I had a 15lb stockpot fall from on top of a Pepsi cooler onto my shoulder and finished my shift during dinner rush). Turned to that I tore my bicep tendon and frayed my rotator cuff muscle. Ended up getting myself a good down payment for a decent car and a new job.
Good on you!
Did your lawyer get the lion's share of the verdict money? Seems like they usually get most.
Good for you! Hope the universe continues to bless you with wealth
I’m sorry that happened to you and I’m glad you got a new job and money
11:30 one important thing you also missed. He called himself SpongeBob LawyerPants. His real name is SpongeBob SquarePants. Considering this identity is being used to lie about his authorization to practice law, I’d argue it would be some kind of identity fraud/general fraud.
I admire your ability to say "I will give a grade to Spongebob Squarepants for legal realism" with a straight face.
Dem Lawyers gotta sell it.
“Don’t impersonate a lawyer.”
“Don’t represent yourself.”
Dang, this again. You sound like my lawyer.
😂😂😂🤣🤣
Oh course a lawyer is going to tell you you’re going to need a lawyer! They’re in on it!
Are you your lawyer
that's kinda the point lol.
Your liked are summoning devil
7:30 Mr Krabs: *turns eyes into gold bars*
LegalEagle: "That is kind of a real thing."
😂
I appreciate that Legal Eagle always clarifies that civil suits don’t call for guilty or not guilty verdicts, even though it’s in sooo many of the shows and movies he reviews!
Legaleagle: *surprised by Plankton's opening statement*
Plankton: I went to college!
Maybe he would’ve made it off better as a lawyer lol
Well he would need a business degree
"Oh the pain"
"I can't feel my arms and legs"
Which is it, Plankton? WHICH IS IT.
Vito C maybe it was the rest of his body in pain, and on top of that he couldn’t feel his limbs
Both. Because he said « arms and legs » but to ask which is it he would have to say « arms or legs ».
@@kiddosvendetta It's not if it's arms or legs. He says he feels pain, but than says he can't feel his arms or legs. So can he feel or not?
It's emotional pain
@@schnabeltiertv maybe it's torso pain.
The fish lawyer having only a Krabby Patty as his evidence was actually a brilliant play. When Plankton leaps out of his chair after it (as the lawyer likely predicted he would), it proves three things:
1. Plankton's injuries were fake, and so he does not deserve everything he asks for
2. Plankton's testimony is full of lies, and so he has committed perjury
3. Plankton's goal was to steal the Krabby Patty formula
The lawyer did say they should countersue Plankton, after all. Proving that he intended to commit theft of Krusty Krab trade secrets would probably pass as basis for such a suit.
@@gengarzilla1685 they’d actually probably win instantly too
Ah yes Krabs V Plankton, a landmark case in personal injury law, setting historical precedents
Objection! The Krusty Krab is underwater and therefore it would be unreasonable for Mr. Krabs to keep his floors dry, as that would mean all his customers would suffocate.
Soap tends to make water more wet and slippery if I remember correctly
@@bloodstoneore4630 I wouldn't expect mr. Krabs to use soap as it costs money.
It is possible for water to be under water
@@Nolangames-ep8up all water is underwater if you use that definition
@@Nolangames-ep8up Heavy water sinks under regular water.
“I don’t know how you would put a mop under oath but yeah he’d be under oath”
-legal eagel 2019

To be fair it would be since it was the causation of the water puddle that Plankton slipped in.
The_1st_wing that's true. So... WoUlD tHe PeRsOn WhO mAdE mOpS bE gUiLtY?!
Well people have done worse, Pope Stephen VI dug up the dead Pope Formosus's corpse and placed it on a full public trial and found the corpse guilty because it refused to answer any of the questions being asked making it just as crazy as putting a mop on trial. Also I don't remember the details much but there was a king or maybe pope who got angry at a government official (I do believe it was the treasurer) so he angrily fired the guy and instead placed his divine horse as his replacement. People tried to argue against this as well but apparently the horse was simply unquestionable with the king or pope backing him, I don't recall how long this dragged out but an angry mob eventually killed the ruler for his insanity.
So yea just as crazy stuff has happened lol
It's oddly pleasing to watch such a professional adult enjoy a children's show ☺️
As Jim Henson once said: “Even the most sophisticated people I know are children inside.”
Imagine those "We don't get paid until you do" Lawyers trying to take a percentage of one dollar after the case is done.
I already was, it made sense.
It would be pretty easy, it’s just how many pennys you get
I *demand* those thirty cents
“This’ll be the last cartoon I cover.”
Nah man. People aren’t resting til you do a Christmas special with “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.”
Absolutely
"hey guys, today I decided I'm _suing Santa Claus_ "
This has been on my mind ever since I started watching Legal Eagle like...two days ago?
So happy there are at least 310 other people who agree with me on this one!
Plz no
Plz YES
OBJECTION: There are no OSHA laws in bikini bottom, only Ocean laws
OVER-RULED: Usage of lame pun.
I saw what you did there!😊
Owen Tuckey objection to your objections if you really look in the show the bikini bottom is a US Territory
Uff sustained: I'm curious, we'll hear you out
Hey funny guy I got a joke for you. What smells rotten and puts people to sleep?!?
I've always wondered, would a court even accept the krabby patty secret formula as something even possible to be given up as compensation in this case? Plankton's entire plan hinges on this, after all, why would a court demand anything other than monetary compensation in this case?
I mean if Plankton actually won this case what would hurt Mr Krabs more? Paying Plankton a lot of money or surrendering the formula? Krabs will have to pick one and it will hurt his soul either way.
If anything he might have to liquidate the formula to pay a monetary judgement?
NOT A LAWYER, just a guy who watches a lot of legal videos. Depends on if the formula is considered a trade secret. When you buy a business you own everything that once belonged to that business including trade secrets like recipes, manufacturing techniques, intellectual property, and so on. So if Plankton won and Mr. Krabs couldn't give him all that money Plankton could accept ownership of the business as payment. In that case I'd say he gets the formula.
I’m not surprised that the planktons and crabs rivalry is an actual real life thing because the creator was actually a marine biologist or whatever you call a person that study fish and the ocean
We always hear Plankton talk about how he “went to college” and “should’ve been a politician.”
Given the quality of his cross-examination and opening statement, maybe he’s representing himself because he went to Law School.
didn't he go to community college? I seem to remember him saying it was community college at some point
@@triscuitdahbiscuit4704 Even community college is better than no college.
*OBJECTION!*
You actually do not need to go to law school to voluntarily represent yourself in court
@@ddynamite But unless you have experience with representing yourself, it is highly recommended against.
That Bad BLU Spy the option is still there, and I think planktons ego has something to do with why he chose to represent himself
I love how he take this episode of spongebob as seriously as any other case. Mad props
Why hasn't crabs sued plankton
He willingly sold SpongeBob’s soul for 62¢ in one case
czcams.com/video/CaZD1Z8eUOM/video.html
@@brenyatta Objection. Deals with supernatural beings follow different procedures and laws.
@@clownplayer7265 but the transaction took place in Bikini Bottom. Based on Plankton's arrest in the 2005 movie, I'm assuming that Bikin Bottom has laws that prohibit slavery. So if SpongeBob ever sues Mr. krabs for selling him, he may actually have a case lol
Since Halloween is this month, Legal Eagle should react to the villains of Scooby Doo and determine what crimes they have committed because while dressing up as Ghosts and Monsters probably isn’t illegal, the villains almost use it as way to scare people away so nobody finds out about the crimes they commit.
Also, would masquerading as a ghost or monster as disturbing the peace?
@@nathanielturner2577 Probably most of them would garner charges of assault, if not battery.
It should also be noted that the Mysteries Inc. crew are also just interfering vigilante youths with no actual authority, which could get them charged in some states. I want to see how much crimes they're committing as well.
@@gengarzilla1685 well actually they’re youth detectives that solve mysteries and whenever they happen to find illegal activity they report it to the proper authorities.
If they actually committed any crimes it would likely be destruction of private property ( mostly from Shaggy and Scooby’s clumsiness) and that’s likely only when they’ve caused damage to places that aren’t abandoned and/or condemned.
“Okay, so now it’s time to give this episode of spongebob squarepants a grade for legal realism” is a sentence, I thought, I’d never hear in my life.
I think this is a good time to remember that the creator of spongebob was a marine biologist

I was honestly expecting this to be a list of the many the labor laws Mr.Krabs is probably violating.
I would absolutely watch that video.
He violated all of them in one episode and mr. Crab shows a dime SpongeBob says wow that's more than what I make a year and minimum wage is as much as you have to pay any less than that is slavery by law anyway and out of anything so yeah he violated every single one
@@thermslusitania1151 He also fires Spongebob because cutting out his wage would spare him ONE Penny....Can you even fire somone based on that? Also does that mean Sponegbob only ears a penny?
he broke the constitution. 13th amendment
In this very episode, Squidward claims that he only gets one day off every three years.
17:41 the juries are like what the hell is he doing man?
I'm not surprised that Plankton did a decent job representing himself. I mean after all, he did go to college!
Plankton's cross examination skills are OP
It was great collabing with you!
I did not expect this, clearly Christmas must have come early.

"And stick around until the end where I give SpongeBob SquarePants a grade for legal realism" has to be the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Sponge Bob: "Mr. Squidward, my client has been called cheap. Would you agree with that statement?"
Squirdward: already answered "Yes" before Devin could even pause and comment on it. 😂
Kid's shows are important to examine. Seriously. Kids are the most impressionable people in our communities and absorb information at an incredible pace. These shows form a small part of the bedrock of their whole lives. Good work.
For some it's a large part.
Reminds me of an article where a kid learned the heimlich maneuver from watching Spongebob.
THIS. This is so true! A lot of people justify garbage kids' content because "it's just for kids", but they deserve competent media to consume, too...
funny

Film Theory did an episode where they discussed the whole “water in water” situation. Saltier water is denser and can form pools in and under water.
I have one question, considering crabs is cheap and he could not actually actually patent his burger recipe so if plankton figured out the recipe for the burger and released the recipe for the public would it be see as a civil case of at least theft of trade secrets which could mean crab's restaurant could be seen as harmed.
Probably getting that patent costs money.
You know the rest.
4:52 Plankton is a trespasser, since he only ever enters the Krusty Krab sto commit a crime, namely stealing the Krabby Patty formula.
It's not like the judge knows that. However, if Plankton has been arrested for trying to steal the formula prior to this episode, SpongeBob could've brought up Plankton's criminal record as evidence
"the death trap of crusty crab"
That's actually quite true since the crusty crab is actually a crab trap
I have existed for twenty years and just realized this. wow
It’s a lobster trap
@@ricardoestevez4976 similar enough
Krusty Krab*
I only realised this now. Wtf
Mr. Krabs: literally adding insult to injury.
😂😂
He should review the episodes of SpongeBob called “ Life of Crime” or “ The Nasty Patty” cause they both deal with both minor and major crimes.
19:08 Well, Bikini Bottom is a fictional place. However, it’s based off of the real life island of Bikini Attoll which, geologically speaking, is closest to the islands of Hawaii.
So, knowing this information, who would officially win this court case?
Funfact: It makes a lot of sense that the relationships between the different species would be inspired by the real thing because Stephen Hillenburg, the original creator of the show was a marine biologist.
Neat. Write what you know huh?
@@mikek6298 it's how he came up with the show
Omg literally every comment is pointing out that he's a marine biologist, your fact is not fun.
Albeit, he left out that Patrick and Squidward would probably be chowing down on those scallop-pigeon-things like chicken. Or that Squidward would likely be eyeing Gary hungrily like some sort of East-Asian stereotype.
I'm in love with you
Crabs could argue against the expenses he's had to pay because of all the property damage plankton commits while trying to steal the formula such as safes floors or walls
That’s by far the most contrived collaboration segue on youtube. Thoroughly enjoyable, 10/10.
Objection: They're under water, so the floor is always wet.
I object, water isn't wet
@@ace-qt9dr I object, even if water wasn't wet everything it touches is, meaning the first comments statement is still correct.
Sean Young technically there is such thing as “water” underwater. It’s technically made of sulfur, methane, and ancient salt deposits. It’s called a brine pool, so technically speaking there is “water” underwater, but nothing except bacteria can live in it.
@@hiandbye9658 so plankton would've actually thrived in this environment?
Crypted Sulfur I object, water makes things wet, so in reality, water isn’t wet
Plankton is neither a protozoa nor a single cell. He lies, even about his taxonomy
wondering if he's related to trump
@@KeownWhite why
Feels more like a writing error than a character error. I guess the writers just assumed "plankton --> single cell", not realizing that some plankton, like the copepod, are multicellular.
@@OptimusPhillip
I'll have to look that up. I know plasmodium is a big bunch of protoplasm with myriad nuclei.
I was thinking if plankton lived in colonies they'd be connected to one another as seaweed is but individual cells.
In the Tierzoo depiction, though, the individuals *are* free-floating, and I think I might be forgiven for thinking they are one-celled without researching the particular species.
vservo Because Trump lies *a lot*. It’s really quite hamfisted into this discussion though
17:13 I love how quickly and flatly squidward responds
“it’s standard for a plaintiffs attorney to not charge up front”

Tubbyjediknight - It’s a terrible movie, probably one of the worst animated movies ever made to be perfectly honest. It’s easily in my book one of the worst films ever made, and I don’t say that lightly.
I remember when it came out, I had no idea it was about a bee suing the honey companies, it wasn’t marketed that way from what I remember. But once I actually caught it on TV I thought it was garbage, especially from Jerry Seinfeld(well he’s not very funny anyways).
This is the greatest comment I've read. You just made my day
Marth ok cool, thought i was alone
This was a really informative, well made video! I remember this episode and it was interesting to see an actual lawyer’s perspective and learn some things 👍
2:37 Here's how. Underwater (more typically in freshwater), there is something called a brine lake. It is the same thing. Water. Except it has a much higher salt content. I believe that the characters in the Krusty Crew and in the SpongeBob universe use water from brine lakes as us humans use normal water.
There should really be a "WET EVERYWHERE" sign.
But, if it was wet everywhere; how could they ever have a fire?!
**Lawyered**
@@NearlyH3adlessNick o/` What's a fire, and why does it... what's the word... burrrrrrn? o/`
_wet_
Moist
NearlyH3adlessNick actually there’s a type of fire that can burn under water that why sometimes people have to use stuff like bags of sand to put out the fire
This guy is literally what i picture when i think handsome lawyer.

I love how Plankton calls the Krusty Krab a death trap when it is literally a lobster trap.
OBJECTION: The whole thing is pointless from Plankton's perspective because even if he won, a judge wouldn't award divulgement of trade secrets to a direct competitor as damages in a slip-and-fall.
If Krabs went into bankruptcy because of the damages maybe he'd have to sell it.
@@ComradeSlice even under that circumstance, it's not a given that Plankton can buy it off as Eugene would never give the recipe to Plankton and rather sell it off to another person, which shouldn't be hard as the Krusty Krab is successful and the burger is popular
@@juannaym8488 Yeah, I get the feeling that, if anything, the prospect of selling it to Plankton might (big "might" though) be the one thing that would override his greed and convince him to sell it for a lower price on the off chance that no one was willing or able to match Plankton's offer. Plus, there was that episode where he sold the Krusty Krab to some multi-billion dollar franchising company and they gave him an absolutely absurd amount for it. Given how Plankton's restaurant has been a complete failure for years and that we never see much in the way of other income aside from maybe some other criminal activities and possibly selling some of his inventions, I can't imagine Plankton being able to put up much of a commanding bid. Side note, I don't know if he's aware of this, but Plankton has prior arrests that should be on the record if we're going to inject realism here, most, if not all, of which are directly tied to his attempts to steal Mr. Krabs' formula. Shouldn't that count for something? In fact, shouldn't he be legally barred from ever setting foot on Mr. Krabs' property or something to that effect?
Objection it wasn't pointed out that he lied about his legal name.
That does seem mildly illegal
Ah another one noticed.
I think "Fraud upon the court" covers that.
@@jeffreypierson2064 are we talking serve case of that or multiple different charges. I think it's into the multiple different charges at this point. However I am not a lawyer.
Great as always, keep up the fantastic work
I watched the episode in this video, and good job reacting to the episode Krabs vs. Plankton I give you a grade of A+
Honestly, I kinda want to see this guy rip apart the “trial” at the beginning of Super Mario Sunshine.
Yes, that would be awesome!
Oh my gosh, he totally should.
That and Johnny gats trial in saints row 2 even though gats mouth is raw
Casandshail true there it’s guilty until proven innocent which is part of why many crimes go unreported (the other part is the deep corruption thanks to the yakuza getting the police into their pockets) and leads to a false belief that japan has a very low crime rate which is only true in reported crimes.
@@NinjaTyler if people were guilty until innocent wouldn't there be more reported crimes?
"Lawyer's aren't bottom feeders!"
Boy howdy that sure sounds like something a bottom-feeding lawyer would say!
Don't be a troll. It rude to say things like that.

The fact that Spongebob got a better legal grade than She-Hulk is surprising considering She-Hulk is literally a show about lawyering and court.
(She-Hulk got a C and Spongebob got a C+)
I love that you're breaking it down in this episode 😂👌🏿👏🏿👏🏿
"Specifically a pineapple under the C."
That's... actually pretty clever
pun intended
Objection! If the pineapple is under the C, shouldn't the grade have been a C- ?
Oh my gosh, I didn't even catch that!
That is clever!
“If someone’s trespassing on your property, your only obligation is to not create dangerous situations”
So would Marv and Harry have a case against Kevin McCallister?
The Home Alone kid? Absolutely, if he was an adult he could be slapped 20 different ways with all kinds of legal stuff.
If they live :^)
@@defiantnight2668 I think they died at least 5 or so times over. I know there was a video on the injuries by a doctor.
Defiantnight but they were tresspassers with aggressive intention so would kevin be able to argue self defense?
Don't forget the Area 51 raid
The most of those dangerous situations accredited do to them breaking and entering into private property. If anything, the parents would be getting into legal trouble for the neglect of leaving a child at home without a parent or Guardian.

There really should be a wet floor sign. Common sense ladies and gents

The college plankton went to was actually a law school. The whole "mad scientist" thing is really just a hobby
Every lawyer I've seen talking about the subject still agree that not even an actual lawyer should represent themselves in court.
@@Kiloku2 really why
SamueltheJolly probably because when you're representing yourself, you have a lot more at stake, so you might not think as clearly as when you represent a client. If you lose your own case, you're suffering a bigger personal loss than if you lose a client's case.
Besides, having an external and objective perspective is much better than only your own perspective.
1:50 quite literally adding insult to injury
I think I might have an objection.
When I was a floor care specialist for a grocery story we were taught there were reasonable situations where a floor may be wet and a sign not be present, however, as long as an employee was next to the spill, and had wet tools (such as a wet mop in use) then we were safe from suit because there was high reasonableness that the person should have known there was a spill and had an equity warning that a sign would have given.
I dont know if this would hold up in court, but its what I was taught in my training
I never understood why Plankton never just walked in and bought a Krabby Patty like a normal person would.
Nobody would trust him.
Or paid someone to do so.
In the show Mr. Krabs is allowed to refuse service to anyone he doesn't see fit including plankton
Actually I think there's an episode where Plankton disguises himself as a customer in order to buy a Krabby Patty. I don't remember how his plan failed since I saw it years ago, though...
@@matodragonespor5000 I remember that. I think krabs made him eat it in the restaurant so he couldn’t take it home and figure out how to make it
"How can you mop a floor and have standing water when you're literally... under water... in the first place...?"
OBJECTION!

the fact that spongebob wasnt a licensed doctor and performed multiple surgeries and had a success on each of them is really funny
Wait, what?
@@gengarzilla1685 there’s multiple episodes where SpongeBob “plays” in hospitals, and in these episodes he performs a bunch of surgeries & is shown to actually be really talented in the medical field, it’s interesting
Yet he continuously fails to get his boating license.
@@lethalty6055 I think at this point, he should stop going to the boating school and just go to college.
@@lethalty6055 isn't like he's good at driving when he's blindfolded? and iirc, there is a one episode where he's driving a boattruck with krabs.
Ok, you using the Eyewitness theme in the TierZoo segment set my nostalgia off HARDCORE.
Thank you for doing this X3
Hooray, I'm not the only one who noticed!!!
0:54 missed opportunity for a "dive in" joke :D
I object: Mr. Krabs should be suing over repeated harassment and attempted corporate espionage.
I agree
Plus numerous counts of trespassing, property damage, assault, posing as a therapist...
In fact, the legal case against Plankton could probably put him away for years if not multiple life sentences.
@@fireblast8972 actually, I think he was in prison once, but escaped by pretending to be a guard's mustache. I don't remember which episode that was though...
