Every Villain Is Lemons

Every Villain Is Lemons aka E.V.I.L. was a short-lived gang of evildoers, consisting of ManRay, The Dirty Bubble, and Barnacle Man in that acted as the main antagonists the SpongeBob Sqaurepants episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V".

Rise and Downfall of E.V.I.L.
E.V.I.L. was created after Barnacle Boy breaks his friendship with Mermaid Man for treating him like a child at the Krusty Krab and joins Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble to form the villainous group and becomes Barnacle Man. Since Mermaid Man can't defeat all three of them on his own, he enlists the help of SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Sandy in order to reform the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances. While at Mermaid Man's headquarters they learn from the chief that E.V.I.L. is causing trouble at a teenage gathering spot called Make out Reef and then move out towards that location (they were going to order pizza originally but was discarded due to the threat at hand). They confront and fight E.V.I.L. and despite the numerous advantages, the incompetent Super Acquaintances defeat themselves. SpongeBob was defeated by Squidward and defeats Patrick. Mermaidman mistakes Squidward for SpongeBob and washes him up (water is the weakness of fire). Sandy defeats herself by not noticing the boat behind her coming to hit her off the cliff.

Having "defeated" the heroes, Barnacle Man demands three things of Mermaidman: That he be treated as a superhero, and not a sidekick; that he is called "Barnacle Man"; and that he will finish an adult-sized Krabby Patty. He then immediately rejoins the side of good and goes back to being Barnacle Boy, though when the heroes return to the Krusty Krab, Barnacle Boy admits that he cannot eat an entire Krabby Patty. Everyone laughs throughout the ending (the gang, ManRay and the Dirty Bubble who are in jail, the guy who kissed his pillow, and the chief).

Trivia

 * This episode parodies the Justice League and the Super Friends. Each member of the IJLSA is a send-up of a well-known superhero: the Elastic Waistband (Patrick) is a parody of Mr. Fantastic, Captain Magma (Squidward) is a parody of the Human Torch, Miss Appear (Sandy) is a parody of the Invisible Woman, and The Quickster (SpongeBob) is a parody of The Flash.


 * When Barnacleboy decides to turn evil, he says, "I'm crossing over to the Dark Side." An obvious reference to Star Wars.


 * In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", when the TV screen displays the meaning of E.V.I.L., "Villain" is mispelled as "Villian".
