  • Who is this Mr. Plankton?

  • Just how much debt is Sheldon Plankton in?

  • As the owner of a failing business, Plankton seems to have no restraint

  • when it comes to paying for elaborate schemes, disguises,

  • and countless other expenses.

  • So we hired a certified financial advisor to calculate his exact debt,

  • and lend her expertise to help him out of it.

  • I assure you Mr. Plankton will be in good hands with me.

  • I've seen hundreds of cases of extreme debt,

  • and there's not one I haven't been able to help with yet.

  • First, we had to determine Plankton's income

  • and then subtract his various expenses to see just how far in the red he is.

  • Question one, how much does the Chum Bucket net each year?

  • Well, the first step is to determine the average price each customer pays,

  • and then we can estimate the amount of customers Mr. Plankton has annually.

  • In the season four episode, New Leaf,

  • Plankton reveals that, up until this point,

  • he has only ever had one customer, this dead rat.

  • A dead rat... OK...

  • In the episode, Plankton's Regular,

  • Plankton did have a brief stint of success,

  • when regular customer Nat Peterson frequented the Chum Bucket,

  • only to find that his computer wife,

  • was actually paying Nat to eat at the Chum Bucket.

  • Seeing as Peterson eventually paid the entire sum back,

  • it can be deduced that they broke even.

  • While the Chum Bucket has had other bouts of popularity,

  • they seem to always end with a catastrophe.

  • Resulting in repair bills or even possible law suits.

  • Leading us to infer that the Chum Bucket's annual profits are...

  • Fundamentally non-existent.

  • Er... OK, so an income of zero?

  • OK.

  • I have a few questions.

  • You keep mentioning episodes.

  • Is that how you measure your fiscal year?

  • Question two, what is the Chum Bucket's cost of operations?

  • With a few short-lived exceptions,

  • Plankton doesn't have any employees on the payroll,

  • and keeps the Chum Bucket open from 8am to 6pm, Monday through Saturday,

  • while remaining closed on Sunday.

  • OK, great, well...

  • Since he's not generating any revenue,

  • it is very wise for Mr. Plankton to implement this hiring freeze.

  • And also, being closed on Sunday doesn't hurt either.

  • Now what are his utility costs like?

  • In general, a small restaurant would pay about two dollars and ninety cents

  • per square foot for electricity,

  • and about 85 cent per square foot for natural gas.

  • So I would just need to know the square footage of the er...

  • Chum Bucket.

  • The season one episode, Sleepy Time,

  • reveals that SpongeBob is four inches tall.

  • If we use SpongeBob as our ruler,

  • we learn that the diameter of the base of the restaurant is 12 inches,

  • giving it a six inch radius.

  • So six inches?

  • Six inches?

  • OK.

  • Let's just plug that in.

  • Pi R-Squared.

  • And we have the area of the Chum Bucket, which is 113... square... inches.

  • But that's not even a square foot!

  • That's a mistake, right?

  • If we assumed Plankton owns the Chum Bucket outright,

  • then it doesn't cost him much to maintain.

  • So if Plankton opened the Chum Bucket as soon as he graduated college,

  • we can assume he has been paying for these utilities for about 35 years.

  • Next, we have to look at his personal expenses.

  • Since he lives in the Chum Bucket,

  • he doesn't have to pay any rent or for additional property.

  • He also saves money by primarily eating holographic food.

  • So what is he paying for?

  • We know he wears a single contact lens, which don't come cheap.

  • An average box of six lenses costs around 25 dollars.

  • So if Plankton changes his contact every two weeks,

  • he would need almost five boxes a year.

  • He also owns a Labrador retriever.

  • This is my lab!

  • Which on average have an annual cost of 2,268 dollars per year,

  • and judging by this particular dog's size and the healthy condition of his teeth,

  • we can conclude that he is about five years old.

  • Bringing the total cost to about 11,340 dollars.

  • And there is one major expense we are forgetting.

  • I went to college!

  • The average debt for a student of a four year college

  • is around 38, 390 dollars.

  • And since he has no source of income,

  • it's safe to say he hasn't been paying off his loans.

  • So that means his loans have been collecting interest for the past 35 years

  • which would bring his debt total to

  • 211,759 dollars and 83 cents, and he hasn't paid any of it off?

  • Finally, we have to calculate the cost

  • of Plankton's various schemes and inventions.

  • we separated Plankton's various inventions

  • into three tiers.

  • In the C tier, we have any small technological gadgets and weapons,

  • like the Propeller Pen, Stench Vision Goggles and Death Ray.

  • These likely cost close to the price of an average, high-end smart phone.

  • We estimate he makes about five items in this tier per year.

  • In the B tier, we have inventions like The Analyzer,

  • The Ghost Extracting Machine

  • and the Switch-Lives-Just-To-Know-What- It's-Like-O-Mogrifier.

  • We've determined that each of these

  • costs Plankton about the price of a high-end gaming computer,

  • and he only makes about three of these a year.

  • Finally, we have the A tier.

  • These are the highly functioning, fully operational robots

  • that he frequently builds.

  • Robots like Robot Krabs, Robot SpongeBob and Robot Game Show Host.

  • Each of these costs roughly around the price of an average luxury car.

  • We've deduced that Plankton makes about eight of these per year.

  • Meaning that ever year, Plankton spends roughly

  • 503,684 dollars and 97 cents on inventions.

  • If we multiply that by 35 years,

  • and add in the rest of the debt we calculated,

  • it comes to... 17, 856, 552 dollars and 40 cents!

  • Mostly on this garbage, I mean, who is this guy?

  • He knows I'm a financial advisor, right?

  • Not a magician!

  • What about this?

  • This wired, integrated, female electroencephalograph?

  • Yes, what about that?

  • Karen is Plankton's most complicated invention,

  • and also his beloved computer wife.

  • Karen is capable of advanced human level communication,

  • leaning based decision making and can even feel emotion.

  • As such, she is the world's first and only known example

  • of artificial general intelligence.

  • Seeing as the United States has spent millions in funds

  • towards developing similar technologies to no avail,

  • we can conclude that Karen's software cost millions, or even billions to--

  • Nope, nope, nope, nope.

  • I do not have time for this.

  • Oh no, now this is--

  • I mean, you people-- this is some kind of joke, right?

  • Bring him here, bring him here, I wanna meet him!

  • We can't, ma'am.

  • What do you mean you can't?

  • He lives underwater... he's a plankton.

  • I'm outta here.

  • This is your office...

  • Our trust financial advisor agrees that Plankton is in an ocean of debt.

  • We'll give her some time to process and await her advice.

  • That's all for today, folks.

  • Let us know what you want us to figure out

  • in the next episode of Inside Bikini Bottom.

  • Goodbye, everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy!
