Spongebob at the Stock Exchange, LOL! They should have an episode where Spongebob and the other go to the Bikini Bottom Stock Exchange. Let them make fun of all the things that occur there. Have Mr. Krabs, Squidward, Sandy, and the fish ridicule Spongebob and Patrick for their crazy investment strategy. In the end, make it so that Squidward and Mr. Krabs end up losing money, while Spongebob and Patrick come out well ahead for some outrageous reason. Then we have Sandy Cheeks congratulating them!
