| - At work the next day, Mr. Krabs reveals the grand opening of Krabby Land, which he proudly built himself. Krabby Land is little more than a dopey-looking assembly of cheap (and dangerous) attractions such as Fort Adventure, which is nothing more than a collection of big stinky mattresses and other junk. The Dumpster of Doom is another disgusting gem in Mr. Krabs' new nightmare playground. The other attractions are even more terrible, yet bordering on laughable. The children are horrified, yet speechless with disappointment, but Mr. Krabs gives them coloring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet "Krabby the Clown". He tells them that Krabby the Clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall them. SpongeBob pretends to be "the Krabby Patty Burgular", and the children hate him. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them, which makes them laugh. He realizes that they like pain, and begins intentionally harming himself, even hiring two thugs to torture him by feeding him lima beans. After a while, SpongeBob goes to Mr. Krabs, who is sorting through a large stack of money, presumably the children's, and tells him that he can't stall anymore, being horribly beaten and missing limbs. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he's being selfish and tells him to "get back to work", but upon seeing SpongeBob's limbs flying around (the children were using them as boomerangs), he fears that his windows will be smashed, and soon, Krabby the Clown (Mr. Krabs in a tie and tomato nose) comes out, and says "Hey kids! Thank you all for coming! Thank you! Eat plenty of Krabby Patties! Ar, ar, ar!" and walks back into his office. This latest rip-off is the last straw for the children. An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, saying that he expected Krabby the Clown, but all he saw was "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs explains his true intentions to him before telling SpongeBob to put the Tomato back. He comes back out of his office to go to the bank, but is confronted by a mob of angry children, who start whaling on him, and then trash his car. One child even throws Mr. Krabs' money off the roof of the Krusty Krab, giving the appearance that it is raining money. This enchants SpongeBob, who proclaims to have finally found "the true meaning of summer". The episode ends with two thugs feeding Mr. Krabs Lima Beans.
- "Krabby Land" is the first segment of the 57th episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.
