Synopsis[]

When SpongeBob and Patrick are having a staring contest, suddenly a bottle falls from above and gets stuck in SpongeBob's forehead. It is addressed to Sandy, so they go to her house. They don't know how to open Sandy's door, so the use the bookHow to Open Things and see that Sandy's door needs to be twisted to the left side. Sandy karate-chops the door open, and starts hitting SpongeBob and Patrick until her chops knock the letter out of the bottle.

Sandy reads the letter and says it is from her twin brother, Randy; the rodeo is in town and she has to go toTexas to defend her title. SpongeBob and Patrick then start guessing what her title was for, which she claims is the rodeo. SpongeBob asks what a rodeo is, and then Sandy breaks into a song explaining its concept.

As she sings, SpongeBob and Patrick thought it was dangerous to fight that rodeo. She ends the song by telling them about rodeo clowns that make people laugh when they're feeling sad, and SpongeBob is horrified by this. As a result, he tries to stop her from dangerous rodeos, but Sandy must go. Sandy's suit transforms into a rocket and she goes to Texas. SpongeBob tries to persuade Patrick into helping save Sandy, but Patrick is too incompetent to cooperate.

SpongeBob tries to tell everyone that they must help her, but they refuse, so he captures them inSuperb Bubbles while they're sleeping. When they wake up, they're inSpongeBob's house. Squidward gets upset and walks out the door, but falls as the pineapple is in a bubble. Everyone else walks out too and falls. They arrive in Texas to see Sandy the live-action squirrel riding a bullfrog. SpongeBob calls out to her, and she falls off, losing the rodeo. The bullfrog jumps at the bubble and it pops, then Sandy has to save SpongeBob from the frog.

Although Sandy does so, she is still disappointed at SpongeBob for ruining her winning streak and tells him to leave the rodeo to her next time, with SpongeBob replying, "Aw, nuts!"

Trivia[]

General[]

• This is the third episode about stereotypical western culture. The first is "Texas" and the second is "Pest of the West."
• When the bubble is popped in the middle of the rodeo by the bullfrog, the live-action version of Sandy is seen for the second time since "Pressure"; of Mr. Krabs for the third time after "Pressure" and "Wishing You Well"; and of SpongeBob and Patrick for the fifth time after "Tea at the Treedome," "Suds," "Pressure," andThe SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
  • During the "Rodeo Song," the live-action Sandy shown is the same squirrel stock image from "Survival of the Idiots" after SpongeBob says "Maybe it's her fur."
  • SpongeBob is shown as a kitchen sponge, Patrick is shown as a real starfish, Mr. Krabs is shown as a real crab, Sandy is shown as a real squirrel, Gary is shown as a realland snail, and the Bikini Bottomites as several types of different fish.
• Patrick's bookHow to Open Things is said to be a film. Patrick tells SpongeBob he has not seen the movie, while SpongeBob has seen the movie and not read the book.
• This episode reveals that Sandy has a twin brother named Randy.
• This is the second episode where a land snail appears. The first was "Dumped."
• There are two scenes in this episode that feature photos of real animals. The first is when Sandy is singing about rodeos and cows are singing along with her, and the second is when everyone arrives in Texas.
• This is the second episode in which Sandy sings a song about Texas. The first is "Texas."
• In the original outline, Sandy went to Texas to save her family's ranch.

• In the original outline, instead of refusing to let Sandy go to Texas, SpongeBob and Patrick want to go along and watch to land moral support, but Sandy insists she must go alone.
• In the original outline, in addition to packing his clothes, SpongeBob packs his lucky clam foot, his entire first edition set ofMermaid Man andBarnacle Boy comics, and a year's worth of snail kibble for Gary. In the final version, he only packs his clothes and tries to pack Gary as well.
• The plot of this episode is similar to those of "Texas" and "Chimps Ahoy," as both episodes involve SpongeBob not wanting Sandy Cheeks to go to Texas. But unlike "Texas," Patrick does not want Sandy to go to Texas.

Dub facts[]

• In theIndonesian dub, Gary does not make a sound in the entire episode.
• In the title card of the Dutch dub, after SpongeBob translates the title card. Squidward corrects the pronunciation of the word "Rodeo" in Dutch, reminding SpongeBob that his pronunciation was in English. The following is a translation of what they're saying:
  • SpongeBob:[translates the title card] Rodeo Daze[pronounces "Rodeo" in English].
  • Squidward: No, Sponge. It's Rodeo[pronounces it in Dutch]. Rodeo[pronounces it in English] is English.
  • SpongeBob:[Laughs]
