Biography of Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants.

Background

Eugene Harold Krabs was born on November 30, 1942, being born with the blood of a pirate to Victor and Betsy "Mama" Krabs and grew up from humble beginnings. He was bullied, mistreated and ostracized at school for being poor and ironically his only friend was Sheldon J. Plankton, who is to be his arch-nemesis and share the same birthday as him. At some point during his youth he was sent to live with his grandfather, Redbeard the pirate, who mostly taught and raised him. During his preteen years, he took over the family ship, the Krusty Krab. However, he realized he was not making a profit, so he decided to run away with his grandfather's last words haunting him, "A pirate never lies". He then joined the Pacific Navy. Krabs earned the nickname Armor Abs Krabs, and the title of being the manliest of the crew. His shipmates were Torpedo Belly, Mutton Chop, Iron Eye, and Lockjaw Jones. Krabs's manhood began after the war, where he was secluded in the deep depression that seemed endless. His luck changed when he bought a local bankrupt retirement home, "The Rusty Krab", which he decided to turn into a restaurant, adding a K to "Rusty", thus making it the Krusty Krab after his pirate ship. He decided to go into business, selling his family's Krabby Patty burgers. The Krusty Krab was extremely successful from the beginning, and has for years stood as Bikini Bottom's premiere daytime eatery. Said success resulted in Krabs becoming greedier over time.

At some point of his life, he was the head chef of the S.S. Diarrhea and cleaned the bathrooms on the S.S. Gourmet. Krabs's arch business rival is his one-time friend Plankton, who owns a restaurant called the Chum Bucket literally right across the street from the Krusty Krab. Plankton, a mad scientist and a technological and scientific genius, constantly attempts to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula, frequently using his various robots and other creations. This, along with bitterness that stems from their former friendship, resulted in them competing with each other for several decades.

Occasionally, Plankton uses other tactics besides stealing the formula in order to hinder Krabs and attract customers to him. However, all of Plankton's schemes are doomed to fail, and are constantly thwarted by Krabs, with help from SpongeBob, Patrick, and other allies with some being undone by Plankton's shortcomings. On multiple occasions, Plankton states that he has never had a single customer (however, in some recent episodes, such as "Chum Caverns", Plankton's plots do give him brief success).

In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Mr. Krabs opens The Krusty Krab 2, right next door to the original Krusty Krab. He chooses Squidward to manage the restaurant despite his poor treatment of customers, much to SpongeBob's dismay. However, at the end of the movie, (after SpongeBob saves Bikini Bottom and Krabs's life), he is appointed new manager of the Krusty Krab 2. In "Squilliam Returns", Krabs works as the chef in Squidward's fancy new version of the Krusty Krab, but is apparently a terrible cook, creating a disgusting and freakish "appetizer", which eventually comes to life and begins attacking the restaurant's patrons. Even though he weighs 5 ounces, in one of the episodes he says he only put on a couple of pounds.

Before he established the restaurant, he tried to open a business along with his former best friend, Plankton. Their first customer was Old Man Jenkins, which their burger poisoned. Plankton and Krabs blamed each other and fought over the recipe, resulting with ingredients dropped into the meat, which became the Krabby Patty. At the end, Plankton only got one ingredient: Chum.

Krabs was a Navy cadet for some time and retired to running a business again. He bought a retirement home named the Rusty Krab and made it a restaurant. Currently, he has two employees: one loyal and hardworking and the other who does not care about his job and sleeps during his shifts. Occasionally, he would have extra employees to boost his success often being better without them in the end because they either aren't as loyal as SpongeBob, or even lazier than Squidward. Less often, he works for someone else or had another business. Sometimes, he leaves either SpongeBob or Squidward in-charge when he isn't around.

In some episodes such as "Culture Shock" and "Squirrel Jokes", he provided entertainment to the customers. Other businesses that he owned include the Pretty Patties restaurant and the Kuddly Krab, which were not successful in the end. In The Krabby Kronicle, he was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper that he used to advertise the Krusty Krab. However, him forcing SpongeBob to write lies about the citizens of meant forced him to stop publishing them. During Squilliam Returns, he served as the chef for the "five star restaurant" that Squidward "owned" with him letting Squidward use his restaurant as he hated Squilliam almost as much. He looked for a job when he was looking for something to do which led him to become the dishwasher in "Selling Out".

Some restaurants or businesses that he owned were a reformed version of the original Krusty Krab, a separate store, or a different idea. Some changes of the Krusty Krab turned the restaurant into others like the Kuddly Krab, 5 Star Krusty Krab, Krabby O'Monday's and The Krusty Sponge. Separate restaurants include the Pretty Patties Store and Krusty Krab 2. New ideas were made such as hotels like Krusty Towers Hotel.

Villainous Acts

Mr. Krabs had an extremely prevalent villainous acts and plays a recurring villainous role due to his greed mostly because he's the villain side in conning and criminality as well as committing illegal misdemeanors and felonies at occasions. When it comes to his business rival, Plankton, their rivalry corrupted Mr. Krabs to the point where he takes pure joy in Plankton's suffering and refuses to let him have any form of happiness or even a single customer. He goes as far as being the aggressor without Plankton even plotting to steal the formula. He even breaks boundaries Plankton doesn't.

Mr. Krabs often couldn't care less about his employees, treating them as if he owned them. He breaks several worker's rights laws as if they are nonexistent to him, leading to even free labor at times. He'll bill his employees instead of giving them their paychecks ("Squid on Strike" and "Big Pink Loser"), have them replaced when they go on strike ("Squid on Strike"), pay them with fake money ("One Coarse Meal"), make them work 24 hours a day for over a month ("Graveyard Shift" and "Fear of a Krabby Patty"), hunt them down to drag them into work early, put them in bad working conditions ("Fear of a Krabby Patty"), claim their prize money as his own ("Lame and Fortune" and almost in "Krusty Krushers"), steal their tips ("Krusty Krab Talent Show"), force them into labor even outside of work ("Sanitation Insanity"), and force them to do his sentences while he relaxes and later takes credit ("Sanitation Insanity"). He especially abuses SpongeBob's kindness, loyalty, and obliviousness, which almost always succeeds.

His cheap nature also makes him put a price on everything if it means he'll make at least one penny. This includes ridiculous things such as napkins ("Imitation Krabs") and using the bathroom ("SpongeBob You're Fired"). He even makes his employees pay extra for his various scams, such as when he pretended to be an automatic voice message just to make SpongeBob put another coin in the phone booth ("Spongicus"). One of his most cheap actions was when he made his customers pay a dollar for every step they took ("Kracked Krabs").

His lust for money even forces himself to actually steal money. An obvious example being when he used Gary to steal coins from civilians ("The Cent of Money"). He'll even steal the property of others so he won't have to spend any money ("Life of Crime," "Growth Spout," and "Hello Bikini Bottom!"). He'll also steal for his own profit ("The Smoking Peanut" and "The Krabby Patty That Ate Bikini Bottom").

Season 1

• Help Wanted: He and Squidward get rid of SpongeBob by tricking him into buying a hydrodynamic spatula from Barg'N-Mart, but he actually buys it for real and saved both of them from anchovies. After that, he rewarded SpongeBob by hiring him as a fry cook.
• Pizza Delivery: He antagonized Squidward by making him deliver the Krusty Krab Pizza with SpongeBob. This is also a labor law violation because it was closing time before the pizza order even began. Furthermore, he likely made them continue working right afterwards despite the delivery taking all night.
• Pickles: It is revealed that the Krusty Krab has a refund policy, but Mr. Krabs had it written very small on the sign that it was almost impossible to see. Despite losing $2 from the refund, he takes it out of SpongeBob's paycheck.
• Squeaky Boots: He took SpongeBob's boots away from him, because of the squeaky noise. The squeaky noise hallucination forced him to tell the truth (similar to the Narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart"), and he did so. He then went insane and started eating the boots to make sure all the squeaking noise doesn't come back to annoy him. At the end of the episode, he got the hiccups sounding exactly like the squeaky noise of the boots to his dismay.
• Culture Shock: He charged his customers to throw food at Squidward.
• Karate Choppers: He threatened to fire SpongeBob to if he won't stop doing karate (even out of worktime) after he strikes one of the customers thinking he was a disguised Sandy. When he saw SpongeBob get attacked by Sandy (in that moment SpongeBob wasn't doing anything and it was clearly visible) he fires SpongeBob, causing him to cry. He rehired him only after Sandy explained to him that SpongeBob tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen.
• Arrgh!: This is the first episode where Krabs is entirely the main antagonist of an episode. His first notorious deed was he hired Patrick just so he can fire him. Then, he kept harassing SpongeBob and intruded his pineapple house just to keep playing their treasure hunt board game, as SpongeBob is exhausted and wants to go to sleep. During that time, when Fred the fish comes in to the Krusty Krab for a Krabby Patty, Mr. Krabs literally throws him out. The next morning, Mr. Krabs gets SpongeBob and Patrick to be pirates and help him find the Flying Dutchman's treasure. He becomes a tyrannical control freak towards the two, condemning them that they're tired and hungry from the treasure hunt, then makes them sleep on the cold ground while he himself gets a warm tent. The two eventually see that Mr. Krabs was using their gameboard as a map. When they find the treasure, Krabs refuses to share it. SpongeBob and Patrick get fed up with Krabs' greed and fight over the treasure chest, then when the Flying Dutchman gets angry at how loud their arguing is and that they dug up his treasure, Krabs immediately incriminates SpongeBob and Patrick. In a twist of irony, the Dutchman rewards the latter two with actual gold doubloons and only gives plastic to Krabs.
• Neptune's Spatula: After telling SpongeBob he has full confidence that SpongeBob will win the fry cook challenge, Mr. Krabs bets all his money on Neptune winning. However, SpongeBob was declared the winner and Mr. Krabs started crying. SpongeBob, thinking Krabs is crying since the former is being forced by Neptune to move to Atlantis to be a fry cook, tries to assure Krabs he'll miss him too, but instead, Mr. Krabs is crying about losing all the money he bet on King Neptune.
• Hooky: He reveals that no one at the Krusty Krab has taken a break "Since the chum famine of 59", and he gets mad at SpongeBob for taking a break. This is illegal, as all employees are entitled to a break. Mr. Krabs and Squidward humiliate SpongeBob in front of Pearl and her friends by "Hooking" his pants and making him take off his underwear. This other act was actually justified to have SpongeBob take his warning about fishing hooks and get him to never play on hooks again.

Season 2

• Big Pink Loser: Despite Mr. Krabs' nonexistent appearance in this episode, he hires Patrick so he can pay him $50 an hour to work at the Krusty Krab. It's also revealed that SpongeBob had to pay Mr. Krabs $100 an hour when he started working. These actions are obviously illegal and have no given reason besides making more self-profit.
• Bubble Buddy: Makes Squidward cater to Bubble Buddy, threatening to make his life miserable otherwise. Later he joins Squidward and everyone else in popping Bubble Buddy because SpongeBob had paid Krabs in (worthless) bubble-money for expensive services and food until they found out he was alive.
• Patty Hype: Despite he and Squidward making fun of SpongeBob's pretty patty ideas, he later takes over SpongeBob's Pretty Patties stand so he can earn money to take advantage of its financial success. However, the Pretty Patties turn out to have side effects that anger the customers. After pointing out the Patties added unnatural color to their appearances and demanding refunds, Mr. Krabs then ran away screaming in fear (because he's worried he'll lose his money, not because the crowd is angry at him). The angry mob of color-mutated fish may have caught up on Mr. Krabs and physically beat him up.
• Life of Crime: Steals various objects from people and lies to SpongeBob and Patrick about borrowing. The lesson he taught them caused them to fight after a candy bar incident and the lollipop incident (Patrick also accused the policemen).
• The Smoking Peanut: Mr. Krabs serves as the overarching antagonist of the episode. He abuses Free Day and starts stealing things all over the zoo, including Clamu the giant clam's pearl. When the clam finds her pearl missing, she becomes distressed and begin to cry and cause mayhem. This causes SpongeBob to believe he was the one who did it because he threw a peanut at her to wake her up, but it was Patrick who became the scapegoat and people threw peanuts at him as revenge. After SpongeBob confesses to throwing the peanut, the zookeeper arrives and explains Mr. Krabs was the one who angered Clamu by stealing her pearl (which was really an egg containing a baby clam inside). Mr. Krabs doesn't apologize, only making up the excuse "But it's Free Day!" and the fish all throw peanuts at him. Mr. Krabs was later presumably arrested by the police for petty theft off-screen.
• Graveyard Shift: Made his employees work 24 hours without a break or hiring extra employees for the night shift (to Squidward's dismay).
• Krusty Love: He puts SpongeBob in charge of his money on his date with Mrs. Puff so that he does not end up spending it all, yet demands SpongeBob to buy several increasingly unnecessary items for her before they even leave her house to go to the park, and still getting mad at SpongeBob just for doing what he was told. Eventually, SpongeBob loses his temper and gives Mr. Krabs a verbal scolding before walking off in a huff.
• Sailor Mouth: He used foul language along with SpongeBob and Patrick after explaining to them about swearing and was about to punish them by making them paint the restaurant. However, this only began when he stubbed his foot and lost his temper from the pain. He also stole a coin from his mom's pocket when she fainted. As punishment for using foul language, all three are forced to paint Mr. Krabs' mother's entire house.
• Jellyfish Hunter: Tricks SpongeBob into collecting jellyfish. SpongeBob soon discovers that Mr. Krabs is squeezing jelly out of them so more Jelly Krabby Patties can be made (this even kills off lots of jellyfish up to where the factory resorted to using barrels to store their dead bodies). Unfortunately, the jellyfish became an endangered species because of Mr. Krabs. The jellyfish are set free and sting Mr. Krabs all at once, burning and electrocuting his body. He has no choice but to take jelly off the menu. This is the episode where Moar Krabs meme begins.
• The Fry Cook Games: He and Plankton respectively turn SpongeBob and Patrick against each other by making them compete in the Fry cook games and even make them fight each other. At the end of the episode, SpongeBob and Patrick realize their friendship is more important and forfeit the games, meaning neither Krabs or Plankton wins.
• Squid on Strike: He refuses to pay his employees and instead makes them pay him for reasons as ridiculous as breathing and existing claiming it was "slacking", even though the stuff they did on the list were needed to do their jobs and fired both of them after Squidward decides to go on strike and gets SpongeBob on board. After SpongeBob destroyed the Krusty Krab in revenge, Mr. Krabs forces him and Squidward to pay for the damages by working for him "FOREVER". The next scene cuts to SpongeBob and Squidward still working even after they've been reduced to skeletons.
• Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm: When Sandy said she would catch the worm if they're willing to pay, Mr. Krabs freaks out and says he would rather have the worm eat everyone alive than to get a cent out of him.

Season 3

• The Algae's Always Greener: After Plankton and Mr. Krabs switch lives, Mr. Krabs who is stark naked follows Plankton's motive to steal the secret formula.
• My Pretty Seahorse: Mr. Krabs tried to get rid of Mystery (in which SpongeBob tries to hide her from him and Squidward). He told SpongeBob about a story about losing a friend (actually a dollar he spent on a soda) which inspired SpongeBob to release Mystery into the wild. It should be noted that Mr. Krabs wished for Mystery to be given up as he noticed she was not enjoying her unnatural surroundings and did console SpongeBob when he tearfully gave up Mystery stating he had done the right thing for her. After Mystery does gallop away, Mr. Krabs tries to comfort SpongeBob who is lamenting her (as Krabs is in a good mood about having gotten rid of Mystery), Squidward teases that Mystery managed to eat the Krusty Krabs's cash reserves and therefore Krabs yells at SpongeBob to quickly get her back. The audience can imply that SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs never found Mystery since she didn't make another appearance and so Mr. Krabs never recovered the money she ate.
• Nasty Patty: When a health inspector comes to the Krusty Krab, he forces SpongeBob to help him make a Nasty Patty by threatening to fire him, and give it to the inspector because he thought he was a phony after hearing a news report saying an imposter was going around posing as one to get free food. Later, when they learn the real imposter had been arrested, and believing the Nasty Patty killed the inspector, (he actually choked on a fly that flew into his mouth before he could take a bite and hit his head on the table when he slipped on the spilled patty), he and SpongeBob try to get rid of the "body" which was still alive, getting the health inspector injured more and more. Later, when they confess to the police about what they did, they learn he is still alive and passes the Krusty Krab, despite all the trouble they put him through.
• One Krabs's Trash: He hosts a yard sale where he poses his trash as antiques. He first tricks a guy into a buying an umbrella full of holes for $5, then tricks Patrick into buying the same plunger he threw out yesterday by claiming it was a soup ladle, claiming it was $5, but Patrick had seven, which makes it even more unfair. After selling SpongeBob a soda-drinking hat for $10, taking almost half of his payment out of his paycheck when SpongeBob didn't have enough, he learns from several buyers it was worth more money and tries to get it back, only for SpongeBob to refuse. He then scares SpongeBob out of it with a paper ghost to give it back, only for SpongeBob to return it to the dead owner Mr. Krabs thought he made up and goes to the cemetery to find it. While he is there, he finds Squidward placing flowers near a tombstone honoring his hopes and dreams and calls him a baby. He eventually finds the grave and defiles it to get the hat back. However, the owner comes to life with an army of skeletons to stop him, forcing Mr. Krabs to fight his way through the mob of undead fish to escape. He then gets his karma when he returns to the buyers to sell the hat, only for them to laugh at him and reveal a warehouse full of the same hat was recently found and it was worthless. The buyers then leave after they see SpongeBob with a hat with clapping hands and offer him large amounts of money for it, leaving Mr. Krabs to wallow in sadness that he went through all that trouble for nothing. As he is crying, Squidward passes by and calls him a baby, the exact same thing Mr. Krabs called him earlier.
• As Seen on TV: When he sees that the Krusty Krab commercial Squidward set up looks expensive (despite it all being necessary), Mr. Krabs scolds Squidward and angrily fires all the crew members except a clown (who ends up leaving anyway). Despite Squidward's chagrin, He decides to make the commercial using "the cheapest crew in the world" (himself, Squidward, Pearl, and SpongeBob (who only has a small background role)), which turns out to be terrible and at a time that no one (except SpongeBob because of his loyalty) is awake to watch it. However, this causes SpongeBob to think he is now a celebrity due to overhearing several customers talking about other things and misunderstanding them, which nearly results in SpongeBob quitting.
• Can You Spare A Dime?: He is the overarching antagonist of the episode as he accuses Squidward for stealing his first dime, causing him to quit and eventually lose his house, forcing him to move in with SpongeBob and make him do stuff for him. When SpongeBob confronts him, he refuses to rehire Squidward until SpongeBob shakes him in anger, causing the dime to fall out of his pocket, revealing he had it the whole time. He then accuses Squidward for putting the dime in his pants at the end of the episode. Before SpongeBob confronts him, he also refuses to donate to a children's fund.
• Wet Painters: Asks SpongeBob and Patrick to paint the walls of his house and messes with them by scaring them into thinking the paint they were using was permanent and tells them if any paint got onto anything but wall, he would chop their butts off and hang them over his fireplace. After they get some on his first dollar, they tried to wash it off, only to spread it and make it worst. When Mr. Krabs comes home and finds out, he licks it off and confesses his lie and that it comes off with saliva and laughs while the two walk out angrily. He then receives karma when he accidently ruins SpongeBob and Patrick's work by laughing so hard about his own joke, he causes saliva to hit the walls and wipe off all the paint. It was noted that his first dollar came from his childhood.
• Clams: After he got his million dollar, he cheaply invited SpongeBob and Squidward to go clam fishing with him, much to Squidward's dismay. As Squidward was injured, Mr. Krabs couldn't care about that. However, he lost his million dollar and refuse to accept his loss. Because Squidward reluctantly promises to help him get the dollar back, Mr. Krabs told both that they cannot leave until they got him his dollar back. After waiting for a clam to come for days, Squidward initially tricked Mr. Krabs into thinking that they got a million dollar, but Mr. Krabs guesses it. Because of this, he throws away the food, made SpongeBob and Squidward stay in the fishing boat, and holds them hostage to get back his millionth dollar from a giant clam. It gets worse when he refuses to take another dollar Squidward had (he uses them as a bait to lure a clam). He gets his dollar back at the end of the episode after trading his body, minus his head and one of his arms, to the clam for it. This was also the first time Mr. Krabs nearly crossed the Moral Event Horizon.
• Mid-Life Crustacean: Mr. Krabs goes through a mid-life crisis and does several activities with SpongeBob and Patrick to feel young again. After doing several activities, SpongeBob and Patrick asks him "are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?" Feeling embarrassed, he then says "I'm feeling like a total barnacle-head!" and throws the kids off him. After insulting SpongeBob and Patrick, Patrick convinces him to do "The Panty Raid." He then breaks into an unsuspecting victim's house to steal their underwear, only to find out the house was his own mother's, something SpongeBob and Patrick didn't tell him because he didn't ask, and the two quickly retreat, leaving Mr. Krabs to take the blame. His mother then ground him for the rest of the night and sends him to his old bedroom, although he forgives SpongeBob and Patrick in the end. Most likely due to complaints from audiences about the "panty raid" scene, the episode was eventually removed from further rotation and was also excluded from Paramount+, but can still be found on home media releases.
• Born Again Krabs: When SpongeBob finds a rotten Krabby Patty under the grill and tries to throw it away, Mr. Krabs stops him and orders him to serve it to a customer the next day, refusing to let SpongeBob make another patty until it was sold. After no customer show up for weeks due to the rotten patty, he still refuses to believe SpongeBob and Squidward's objections that it was bad and decides to prove it by eating the patty himself. Unsurprisingly, he gets food poisoning after eating it and is rushed to the hospital. While he is recovering, the Flying Dutchman visits him in the hospital and persuades him to be generous. However, after realizing it wasn't a dream, he steals back toys from children, soda from a customer, stopped another customer from watching free TV, nearly rips someone's arm off for a penny, and trades SpongeBob's soul to the Dutchman for 62 cents. Squidward was the one who was horrified that Mr. Krabs would sell SpongeBob's soul, especially when SpongeBob defended Krabs. Luckily, Krabs regretted selling out SpongeBob and disavowed the 62 cents and the Flying Dutchman returns SpongeBob due to being annoyed by him.
• Krabby Land: When he learns the local kids are spending the summer at a local playground, he creates a bogus theme park made of garbage and promises a clown so he can collect children's money. While he is busy counting the kid's money, he orders SpongeBob to entertain them in the meantime. This results in SpongeBob deliberately hurting himself in various different ways when he finds out the kids enjoy physical humor, including hiring two guys to pummel him, feed him lima beans, and allowing the kids to use his limbs as boomerangs. When Mr. Krabs finishes counting the money, he poses as the clown himself and gives a bad performance, leaving SpongeBob and the kids speechless. This brings SpongeBob to tears and confront Mr. Krabs, who explains he only cares about the money, not the kids. Mr. Krabs then gets the karma he deserves when the kids angerly beat him up for his scam, take back all their money, and leave him to be fed a truckload of lima beans by the same two guys SpongeBob hired to beat him up earlier.
• The Sponge Who Could Fly (Lost Episode): Mr. Krabs along with everyone else in Bikini Bottom took advantage of SpongeBob and his flying pants by making him do their favors.
• Pranks a Lot: He shows SpongeBob and Patrick naked to people in the Krusty Krab. This was to teach him a lesson to never scare people again.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

In the first feature-length movie based on SpongeBob SquarePants, he cons out Mrs. Puff to pay nine dollars for the press conference of the Krusty Krab 2's grand opening, and had Sandy pay an additional dollar for the fact that she is a land creature, making it a rip-off. Despite SpongeBob being a great and most loyal fry cook from day one, he gives the job of manager to Squidward since SpongeBob is "just a kid" (despite it being confirmed that he's an adult) and Squidward is "more mature" than him (even though SpongeBob is his most loyal employee and loves his job unlike Squidward who is shown to be a lazy employee and clearly hates his job) leads to SpongeBob going into developing depression. The next day, after assuming that King Neptune is coming to the Krusty Krab 2 to eat, he changes the cost of a Krabby Patty with cheese from $1 to $101 in an attempt to get more money off of him. His karma is when King Neptune claims that he is only here to retrieve his crown (which Plankton stole and framed Mr. Krabs for with an obviously fake note) and threatens to kill him once learning that the crown was in the forbidden Shell City. Later, he finally receives the karma he deserves for the many years of mistreating his rival when Plankton finally steals the secret formula and starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. Mr. Krabs was forced to watch this while being unable to stop him since he was frozen in place by King Neptune. He is later almost killed by Neptune when the time SpongeBob and Patrick needed to get the crown back had expired. Fortunately, SpongeBob and Patrick manage to get back with the crown in time to stop Neptune, free everyone from Plankton's control, and expose him as the real thief.

Season 4

• Fear of a Krabby Patty: Plankton makes Mr. Krabs open Krusty Krab for 24 hours after seeing that Plankton opens the Chum Bucket for 23 hours, but he's unaware that it is part of Plankton's plan, making Squidward upset, and SpongeBob fearing Krabby Patties (although he conquered his fear by sleep). He then works SpongeBob, Squidward, and even himself to near death for 43 restless days straight, not letting any of them even go home and didn't cared if they lacked any sleep because of this. In the end, he decides that 23 hours a day is enough.
  • This is the second time he kept the restaurant open for 24 hours; the first time was in Graveyard Shift. However, unlike the aforementioned episode, he stays at the Krusty Krab with his employees, thus suffering from the same lack of sleep that they do.
• The Lost Mattress: When Squidward tells Mr. Krabs he threw away his old mattress, Mr. Krabs attacks Squidward and antagonizes him because all his money was in the mattress, which Squidward didn't know about. When he falls into a cash coma, Squidward, SpongeBob, and Patrick head to the dump to get the mattress, resulting in Squidward getting repeatedly attacked by a guard worm.
• Krabs vs. Plankton: Mr. Krabs was being negligent by not putting a wet floor sign on the ground, which has the possibility of injury. Being that he is the owner of the Krusty Krab he has a duty of care, but failed to meet with this standard of care. Plankton then uses this as a excuse to sue Mr. Krabs to get the secret formula. Fortunately, Krabs manages to win the case with SpongeBob's help. Squidward also reveals he hasn't had a day off in 3 years, which is illegal, as all employees have to have days off throughout the year.
• Have You Seen This Snail?: He neglects SpongeBob's depressed state and doesn't even bother to understand him and ask him what's his problem, only to focus on the amount of his tears being dropped onto the patties that the customers are asking for refunds, informing him that working more should help as an attempt to increase self-profit. As karma for his insensitive nature and his petty greed, SpongeBob leaves his job until further notice to work harder to find Gary, much to Mr. Krabs' shock at the realization.
• Skill Crane: He took advantage of Squidward's obsession over the new crane machine to pay him in quarters only, just as he was in the middle of being broke. Mr. Krabs may have later encouraged him to keep going, but only because Squidward was making him rich and even decided to keep the deed to Squidward's house after he found it in the mass of quarters he took out of the machine.
• Selling Out: He kills a bird with a book while he sings his "Feeling Of Greed" song.
• Krusty Towers: He plagiarizes the motto of the hotel he visited into the Krusty Towers and forces Squidward to perform several ridiculous tasks for Patrick when he checks in and gets tipped in rocks instead of money, making him miserable. He later receives karma when Squidward quit and returned as a customer and annoys Mr. Krabs the same way Patrick did with him. At the end of the episode, his hotel gets destroyed due to Squidward's indoor pool destroying it except for the original Krusty Krab building on top, resulting in him, Squidward, SpongeBob, and Patrick getting seriously injured. After getting a bill for the hospital, he decides to build one and force his employees and Patrick to become doctors making Squidward miserable again.
• Whale of a Birthday: It is revealed that Pearl's social life had become crippled overtime as her birthday parties also go in shambles due to Mr. Krabs' cheap nature. He also originally plans to give Pearl nothing despite being oblivious of his daughter's 16th birthday and her age. He initially agrees to grant Pearl her wishes, but then goes back on his word by changing just about everything on her list to make them "even better," such as hanging a banner that reads "It's a Boy!", x-ed out to say "Girl", serving stale popcorn instead of fresh, serving dishwater instead of punch, having a statue of Pearl made of raw Krabby Patty meat by Squidward instead of ice by a professional (although he has second thoughts about this choice), using cardboard instead of an actual cake (although it still had real frosting), and having Squidward perform instead of Pearl's favorite boy band, the Boys Who Cry. Because of this, Pearl's 16th birthday is at first, horrible, causing her to run outside in tears, but she manages to get a lot of presents, including a boat and the Boys Who Cry, bought by SpongeBob through Mr. Krabs' credit card, which was most likely maxed out. Mr. Krabs intends to chastise SpongeBob for it, but the fry cook lucks out when Pearl praises her father, despite not learning anything from his cheap nature.
• Wishing You Well: He creates a wishing well scheme to increase self-profit. During that, he put SpongeBob in there so he can get the coins, saying he'll see him in 8 hours, not even promising he'll let him out. Later that night, after getting some coins in his well, as expected, he wouldn't let SpongeBob and Patrick leave just so he can get more coins from any late-night wishers. He also didn't bother planning on paying Patrick for staying in the well. Near the end of the episode, he told SpongeBob that there is no such thing as magic (even though SpongeBob and Patrick struck magic down the well) and regardless of seeing Sandy, Mrs. Puff, and Plankton's wishes coming true, he still didn't believe him. To prove SpongeBob wrong, Mr. Krabs wished he was served as a meal, but in the end, ends up playing himself when he ends up on a plate as a man prepare to eat him. Before being eaten, Mr. Krabs cried that he now believes in magic in hopes of it getting reversed, thus karma strikes again.
• New Leaf: When Plankton surrenders and tells Krabs he's done competing with him, he decides to open a souvenir shop and quit the food business. Mr. Krabs does not believe this, and he confronts Plankton and goes on a rage. He destroys his new gift shop and smashes all of his Nick Knacks. Although this was an elaborate scheme to get the Krabby Patty formula, Plankton never revealed it until the end of the episode. In the end, he gave Plankton a fake secret formula and then taunted at him for this.
• Once Bitten: He and the Bikini Bottomites attempt to kill Gary for "infecting" everyone despite SpongeBob's desperate pleas.

When Jim is finally able to demand a raise, Mr. Krabs mockingly laughs as if he just heard a hilarious joke, causing him to quit. Despite not learning anything from it, he manipulates SpongeBob into making him think that his cheap nature is what benefits everything, only for financial gain, still finding Jim's "joke" hilarious to date.
• Krabs à la Mode: Refuses to have the thermostat changed from 62° to save money. He even enforces this rule when it is obvious there are icicles on the ceiling and the floor is ice. This shows that he is too stupid and oblivious to the fact that the temperature was not 62° and was more concerned about saving money. After Plankton revealed to him that the temperature was -15°, it is unknown if he felt guilty for not believing Squidward. His karma for being too stubborn was being frozen by Plankton several times along with SpongeBob, Squidward, and several customers. At the end of the episode, he is seen drinking a glass of lemonade using a frozen Plankton as an ice cube after he turns the Krusty Krab into a pool.

He later makes Squidward cook Spongey Patties (rotten patties that turned yellow due to not being placed in the freezer to make room for SpongeBob ice cubes), thus poisoning the customers and bringing himself to court. At the end of the episode, he made Squidward pedal the judge around on the train to avoid going to jail, and allows him to use a whip as well.
• The Krusty Plate: Instructs SpongeBob to clean up a plate and to not leave work without doing so. This results in SpongeBob destroying the entire restaurant at the end of the episode with a cleaning machine. When Mr. Krabs comes to the restaurant when it blows up, he angrily chases after SpongeBob around the wreckage, despite all of the best attempts he did to complete his task. In which case his neglect by leaving him alone essentially makes him indirectly responsible for the Krusty Krab's accidental damage to begin with.
• Atlantis Squarepantis: Opened an illegal stand by a museum, which had free admission, and forced an old woman to pay for entering. Then the woman told a guard on him causing Mr. Krabs to run away from him.

• What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?: After SpongeBob accidently deep fried his money and himself, he angrily kicks him out of the Krusty Krab and calls him an "Idiot boy". In the next day, he reads a note SpongeBob left in his house from Patrick and Sandy.

Mr. Krabs not only panics because the latter is gone, but also because he feels guilty for pushing him away.
• The Two Faces of Squidward: In an attempt to bring the customers back, Mr. Krabs repeatedly slams the door into Squidward's face to make him handsome again, to no avail.
• Stanley S. SquarePants: Blames SpongeBob for the damaged things his cousin Stanley broke. SpongeBob may have taken the blame for Stanley at first, but then he started to accuse SpongeBob without question. He also admitted that he denied his own nephews a job at the restaurant and sent them off. Near the end of the episode, he blames SpongeBob for his spatula's destruction, but it is unknown if he felt bad after SpongeBob explained the truth to him. At the end of the episode, he hands Stanley over to Plankton so he can destroy the Chum Bucket even though Plankton didn't try to steal the secret formula in the episode.

After failing to create good chum, he tries to steal Plankton's secret recipe, only to get trapped by Plankton with SpongeBob under giant spoons. It is revealed at the end of the episode that the "customer" was only eating at the Chum Bucket because Karen was secretly paying him, and Plankton started crying over his failure once again while Mr. Krabs watched with joy.
• Krabby Kronicle: He creates a newspaper and makes SpongeBob write lies about people, ruining their lives. SpongeBob tries to stop but Mr. Krabs threatens to take away his spatula.

• Porous Pockets: He takes advantage of SpongeBob giving out his newly earned fortune to strangers. He also prevents Patrick from going to SpongeBob, believing him to be an obstacle.

• Krusty Krushers: Puts SpongeBob and Patrick in danger of being killed by huge wrestlers so he can earn the $1,000,000 prize. Luckily, SpongeBob and Patrick manage to win the fight, but choose to go to wrestle camp instead, much to Mr. Krabs's dismay.
• Truth or Square: It is revealed that he has cameras watching his friends, which is an invasion of privacy.

He also adds an extra zero to everything on the menu in hopes of getting more money.
• No Hat for Pat: Made a fortune when Patrick kept falling on his face, disappointing SpongeBob. Eventually, he made Patrick fall into a bucket of spiny sea urchins and while Squidward was falling, he charged the customers more money to watch them both get hurt. SpongeBob tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen. People took their money back, because only Squidward was hurt and not Patrick. He then realizes it was his hat making him fall. Refusing to accept loss, he made Patrick cry by firing him and taking his Krusty Krab hat away, vowing to never let Patrick wear it as long as he lives.

When Plankton claims what Mr. Krabs is doing is unethical, Mr. Krabs instantly calls all building right under his restaurant without any legal action.

He scares Plankton into being too scared to eat dinner, having nightmares, and even trying to commit suicide. It was shown he was cruelly enjoying, even laughing at Plankton's anguish and responded gleefully and uncaring when informed Plankton was trying to kill himself. When SpongeBob tells Plankton what Krabs was doing, he punishes him by trapping him and inviting a mime to the Krusty Krab to terrifying him as payback for his previous actions.

• Squidward in Clarinetland: He refuses to imply with the Bikini Bottom Labor Regulations because it gives him hives. After Squidward demands a locker, he forced him to share with SpongeBob since it is "required by law." Also, he sweet talked a lady out of 20 bucks.
• The Curse of the Hex: Refuses to let Madame Hagfish have a Krabby Patty and takes away the Krabby Patties SpongeBob made for Madame Hagfish, throws them in the garbage, and tells SpongeBob they would be coming out of his paycheck. He later gets his karma when Madame Hagfish curses the Krusty Krab, (it is later revealed she merely placed a "closed" sign in front of the restaurant,) and no customers show up. He is then forced to retrieve a doubloon from a giant golden eel to get her to undo the "curse." After they succeed in getting the doubloon, Madame Hagfish keeps her word and removed the sign. Later, the same eel from earlier shows up in the restaurant and scares the customers away.

He has Squidward make a statue, but disapproves of the finished masterpiece due to it being unsafe for kids to play on and calls it a weapon, a doohickey, and a piece of junk. He is later painted gold and has the kids play on him. Squidward still seems to be mad at him about his disapproval of his art.
• Model Sponge: He fired SpongeBob from the Krusty Krab since he thought that Krabs said he was going to let the "little one" go. This is false as he actually let his pet scallop go.

Season 8

• Accidents Will Happen: Mentioned that he stole the surveillance camera from the airport and installed it in the storage room. When he finds out Squidward was lying about being injured, he makes him do the same stuff Squidward made him do throughout the episode.
• The Other Patty: He rigged all Krabby Patties to explode if they get 10 feet away from the Krusty Krab, which results in an innocent customer exploding due to still digesting his patties while leaving. Later, when he learns of a new restaurant called the Flabby Patty Shack that is stealing all his customers, he attempts to steal the recipe to get his customers back. After several failed attempts that result in him and Plankton getting injured, SpongeBob convinces both of them to work together to steal the formula. When they finally get the recipe, they discover it is really a recipe for friendship and SpongeBob reveals he set up the Flabby Patty restaurant to get them to work together.

• Drive Thru: Smashes a hole in the wall for a drive thru window instead of having someone install one properly. Even though SpongeBob bought a microphone and a menu board, Mr. Krabs uses old napkins as a menu board and tin cans as a microphone instead of using the items SpongeBob bought (despite that using the drive through items wouldn't cost Krabs any money at all since they're already paid for). He also forces SpongeBob and Squidward to work extra hard instead of hiring more employees to work for both drive-thru's. When SpongeBob and Squidward tell him that the customers are starting to riot, Mr. Krabs does not believe them until the Krusty Krab sign crashes through the window. Mr. Krabs then smashes more walls in the Krusty Krab, believing that he will make more money if there are more drive thru's, but instead it causes the Krusty Krab to completely fall apart and chase all the customers off, leaving Krabs to wallow in sadness while SpongeBob attempts to fix everything with toothpaste that runs out immediately.
• Frozen Face-Off: Mr. Krabs abandons his team to try to win the sled race by himself with plans of keeping the million dollar prize all to himself without sharing any of it. He later ends up getting lost and ends up frozen and hypocritically believes the others froze him on purpose to keep the money for themselves after Sandy thaws him out, only to learn from Karen that the race was a trick by Plankton to distract everyone while he steals the Krabby Patty formula and the price money was fake. He also tells the monster that had been following them throughout the episode to eat Squidward when it confronts them at the end of the episode.
• The Googly Artiste: Adds Artistic Advice on the menu for $25 after Squidward said it wasn't on the menu, and forces him to give advice to Patrick. Then while Mr. Krabs was scolding Patrick and SpongeBob for taking his customers from him and selling merchandise made from his own, which was illegal, Patrick explained to Mr. Krabs that he was trying to follow Squidward's "advice", making Mr. Krabs blame Squidward for being responsible for his actions. Then Mr. Krabs agrees to let Patrick sell his art, but only he gets payed, and gets Squidward to be his student.
• Walking the Plankton: He wins two tickets to a cruise, which he first attempted to go by himself. When SpongeBob pointed out that it was two tickets, he decided to only let someone else join him if they agreed to be his unpaid man servant (with SpongeBob agreeing to do so). When he started selling Krabby Patties on the cruise (which he would most likely need a permit for), he tried to scam what he assumed was a rich man into paying $100 on a Krabby Patty. Once he realized it was Plankton however, he had SpongeBob take it back from him without giving him a refund.
• Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation: He heads off to go on "vacation" with Pearl and SpongeBob. Once on the road, he purposefully leaves Bikini Bottom and drives by several vacation spots to get Pearl's hopes up, eventually returning to Bikini Bottom and stopping at their true destination, the Bikini Bottom Mint. It can also be said that he lied about it being an actual vacation since it was obviously just a tour experience he didn't have to pay for. Once there, it is obvious that Mr. Krabs had the intention of keeping some of the money made there as he heads onto a conveyer belt. When he redeems himself for his actions throughout the tour by stopping actual robbers, he and SpongeBob are both rewarded dollars with their faces on them. However, Mr. Krabs decides to steal SpongeBob's reward as payment for tagging along on his vacation, only for Pearl to steal both dollars from him as payment for bringing her on a terrible vacation and immediately spent them on shoes right in front of her dad as if they were just regular dollar bills. This karma causes Mr. Krabs to start crying hysterically, which floods the Mint.
• Barnacle Face: Decides not to help Pearl with her barnacle acne. It is soon revealed that he has been using grease from Krabby Patties to make the soap used by Pearl, thus revealing the cause for the barnacles. He loses his diamonds because of this and tries to run after Pearl for them.
• The Krabby Patty That Ate Bikini Bottom: Steals growth serum from Sandy's house so he could test it on a Krabby patty to increase the success in his business. This results in a monstrous Krabby patty creature wreaking havoc.

• Karen 2.0: He charges his customers to watch Karen and Karen 2.0 fight, and at the end of the episode he makes Squidward wear Karen 2.0's screen like a mask while taking orders, much to Squidward's dismay.
• Fiasco!: After his employees are falsely arrested by the police, he only bails out SpongeBob and Patrick, leaving Squidward in jail. It is also obvious why he refused to bail out Plankton, implied that he still hated him.
• Free Samples: After Plankton tricks the town into hating Krabby Patties, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that they have to do everything in their power to bring them back, with his idea being tripling the prices. He is then convinced by SpongeBob that they should lower the prices instead, which he only does by one cent, even having a disappointed mood about it. It could also be said that he kept all the money SpongeBob made after getting the customers back.
• InSPONGEiac: He snaps at SpongeBob and being picky at his work, like too much mustard (101%) and saying the way that he flips Krabby Patties is wrong. He then falsely accuses SpongeBob of being an insomniac and kicks him out to get some sleep for believing he was wasting his profits, claiming that he'd be broke in 411 years. Then after seeing SpongeBob crying out the right amount of mustard, he starts saying it's a terrible thing just to make him cry more.
• Chum Fricassee: He tells Squidward that he doesn't value him at all, causing Squidward to get a new job at the Chum Bucket for his cheap nature for a doormat and his years of treating Squidward as if he owns him, and then becomes famous for his grandmother's recipe. Mr. Krabs gets karma from his actions as this nearly causes the Krusty Krab to go out of business. His mistreatment of his employees catches up to him, as Squidward humiliates him as revenge for the years of abuse. When the Chum Bucket is destroyed, he rehires Squidward to be the actual doormat of the restaurant.
• Hello Bikini Bottom: When Colonel Carper promotes SpongeBob and Squidward to become a band, Mr. Krabs steals this band for the money they would bring in. He also steals his sound equipment (since his equipment was sabotaged by Carper's roadies) and a bus from Mrs. Puff for a tour bus. Basically, he denies Squidward and SpongeBob their happiness (Squidward by performing in random locations rather than concerts and SpongeBob from the Krusty Krab - since he sold it to pay for the tour). He is later forced to giveaway the money he earned from these actions to a long line of angry people he wronged, including Mrs. Puff and Colonel Carper. Luckily, he is able to buy back the Krusty Krab before Plankton could do so himself thanks to SpongeBob giving him Gary's college funds.
• Restraining SpongeBob: He remove the star from Krusty Krew employee chart after SpongeBob shows his restraining order. He later hires Patrick Star, much to Squidward's dismay to serve as a way for SpongeBob and Squidward to continue working together. However, Patrick ends up being more annoying and Squidward decides to restrain him instead.

Season 9

• Patrick-Man: He was about to carry groceries for an old woman crossing the street (who is actually The Dirty Bubble in disguise), when he spots a dollar, and then it blows away making him chase after it leaving the old woman behind in the middle of the crosswalk trapped in the middle of cars passing by. He later gets karma when Patrick, trying to be a superhero at the time, believes he is stealing the dollar and places it back on the ground, causing the woman he left behind to take it herself. At the end of the episode, after Patrick defeats the Dirty Bubble, he forces him to clean up the Krusty Krab after he trashes it, showing no gratitude for his actions.
• Squid Baby: Doesn't show sympathy for Squidward who was suffering from "head-go-boom-boom-itis."
• Safe Deposit Krabs: Tried to take money from the Bikini Bottom Bank, but was kicked out twice. Then he got locked into the money safe becoming savage from hallucinations.
• SpongeBob You're Fired: He stupidly fires SpongeBob because his salary is a nickel, which is much less than minimum wage. He later receives karma when his own horrendous cooking almost destroys his business and reluctantly rehires SpongeBob. To solve the nickel problem, he installs a pay toilet in the bathroom.
• Tutor Sauce: His driving methods to SpongeBob were illegal. He mentions that he taught Pearl how to drive without her needing a license. After several attempts to teach SpongeBob ultimately causes major damages to the Krusty Krab, he uses Gary to stir the wheel in a dangerous section of road as a demonstration to help SpongeBob, only for the police to check on them. When Mr. Krabs tells the officer that he isn't a registered driving instructor, instead of getting a ticket (or even having SpongeBob paying for it), he is forced to be a student at Mrs. Puff's Boating School to his shock.
• What's Eating Patrick?: Teaches Patrick how to eat in order to win the eating contest, even in means of depriving him from tasting the patties. During the contest, Patrick tries to leave because he was tired of not tasting, only for Krabs to tell him if he does, he bills him, stating that all the training patties become eating patties. While Krabs's threat to Patrick held some morality (such as how the boy and the rest of the town would be upset if they lost the contest yet again), his methods were still harsh to Patrick's esteem of eating.
• The Sewers of Bikini Bottom: He, along with Crupski, showed no concern about the customers' safety at the new stadium and cared less about the consequences when the plumbing system begins to go haywire.
• Larry's Gym: After overhearing Larry about that the opening of the gym is free only for today, Mr. Krabs takes advantage of the opportunity and stays there thoroughly.

• Sold!: When SpongeBob and Patrick watch a commercial for a real estate agent, they mistakenly believe their houses have been sold, so they build a house out of garbage from the Krusty Krab's dumpster. When Mr. Krabs finds out about this, he decides to charge SpongeBob with a rental fee and uses his paycheck to cover it.
• Lame and Fortune: After Squidward won money as an award for being the most miserable cashier thanks to a fortune cookie, Krabs took the money from Squidward abrasively stating "Me register, me money" (also considered stealing), making Squidward miserable again.
• Bulletin Board: He intended on hitting a nice old lady after she refused to tell everyone about her satisfaction. But luckily, he was immediately stopped by SpongeBob. He later destroys the bulletin board after Patrick starts posting notes that people misunderstood, resulting in Krabs losing money. He then forces SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward to join a knitting class with him.
• Move It or Lose It: Both he and Plankton won't comply with the law of restaurants having to be more than 100ft of each other, when one of them only has to move a couple inches, causing both of them to fight.
• Mutiny on the Krusty: Acted like a tyrant and abused his power throughout the episode. He cared less about the rip current that's endangering everyone and the only thing he cared about was having his customers spend their money in his restaurant, mostly out of petty crankiness due to the fact that this was the day that he must pay his employees for their service. He even berated and belittled the customers and his workers after being called tyrant and claimed himself as the captain of the restaurant, much to everyone's disdain. He even acted like a spoiled child when he selfishly refused to save the customers from the monster. However, SpongeBob managed to get him to his senses when he almost spent his first dime on candy. At the end of the episode, he forced Squidward and the customers to push the Krusty Krab back to Bikini Bottom, despite performing a heroic act of saving them from a sea monster. He also cancels payday for Squidward.
• Goodbye, Krabby Patty: He sells the Krusty Krab to sell frozen Krabby patties, and changed the secret formula to have the Krabby Patties being made of sand, which all Bikini Bottom residents ate, despite how bad they tasted, and completely changed The Krusty Krab in a museum. He shows a lot of greed as he did this to become rich. He actions also nearly ruined SpongeBob and Patrick's friendship. At the end of the episode, Patrick reveals the truth about the patties being made of sand, making everyone who ate one vomit up the sand, resulting in the frozen patties being discontinued and the factory shut down, giving Mr. Krabs karma for his greedy actions.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

In this sequel to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Mr. Krabs committed several heinous acts, making himself different from his comparably more innocent self in the previous movie. Examples are down below:

• Mr. Krabs and numerous Krusty Krab customers constantly tease Plankton, who is actually a robotic decoy of him, thinking that he's suffered from another failure to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula.
• After SpongeBob and Plankton see the secret formula surprisingly disappear, Mr. Krabs shows up and accuses Plankton of stealing it, even though Plankton truthfully said that he didn't do it. Mr. Krabs wouldn't listen, even when SpongeBob was defending him that he's telling the truth, and traps Plankton in tape and tells a knock-knock joke to make SpongeBob do his signature laughter and torture Plankton forcing him to tell where the secret formula is. Then, while Mr. Krabs and the Bikini Bottom citizens attempt to attack him, SpongeBob rescues him with a giant bubble. Mr. Krabs instantly thinks that SpongeBob has been a double agent working for him and Plankton all these years as they both float away.
• Mr. Krabs then becomes the leader of a savage group of apocalyptic sufferers and proceeds to chase SpongeBob and Plankton all over Bikini Bottom, believing they have the secret formula. He also imprisons Karen and searches through her files to find the formula. Later, while they were planning a sacrifice for the "sandwich gods", which a savage Sandy explained due to finding a page of the magic book that was tossed into the ocean by one of the seagulls earlier, Mr. Krabs is upset when Sandy says Krabby Patties would rain down on them, meaning he wouldn't be able to make money, causing everyone to try to sacrifice him. Luckily, SpongeBob and Plankton return from time traveling and spare him from being sacrificed, only to discover they brought back the wrong bottle. Then, when SpongeBob tried to convince the people how savage they've become with the formula missing and offers himself to be scarified, Mr. Krabs and the rest attempt to do this by having him get squashed by a falling burger-bun-shaped stone. Before the sacrifice begins, SpongeBob smelled the familiar scent of Krabby Patties coming from the outside surface, which is coming from Burger-Beard, the one that really stole the formula. Then, as the stone is about to crush SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs stops it after he and the others smell the scent as well, as they aid SpongeBob to follow the scent. Sacrificing SpongeBob wouldn't have worked anyway since the "sandwich gods" were clearly a figment of Sandy's imagination.
• Mr. Krabs notices that Burger-Beard is selling his Krabby Patties for $8.99 and says to himself, "Why didn't I think of that?"
• During the end credits, he pulls Patrick's wallet out of his pocket.

Season 10

• Krusty Katering: He lies to a high-class lady about being a hi-class caterer just so he can get her check, but he did cater for her party (which was ruined in the end.)
• The Incredible Shrinking Sponge: After SpongeBob accidentally shrinks himself thanks to the grill overheating, Mr. Krabs mistakes him for Plankton. Before SpongeBob could say anything, he tosses his shrunken fry cook to the Chum Bucket. After SpongeBob is kicked back to the Krusty Krab and is mistaken for an action figure, it is only then that Mr. Krabs learns that it's SpongeBob. He decides to take advantage of his small size by only paying him one penny a year.
• Lost and Found: Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob go to the Lost and Found to find a kid's teddy fish. Mr. Krabs points out that there's a ladder, making SpongeBob think there was already a ladder there and causing him to fall. A few seconds later, Mr. Krabs throws down the actual ladder, which both hurts SpongeBob and isn't tall enough for him to get out. With SpongeBob gone for so long, he throws Squidward into the Lost and Found so he could look for SpongeBob. Once there, Squidward learns that Mr. Krabs took his clarinets from his locker and put them in the Lost and Found. As time goes on, Mr. Krabs decides to abandon the mission, believing his employees to be forever lost as he closes the hatch. SpongeBob eventually escapes with the teddy fish, the lost children, and a juvenile tylosaurus. Squidward, however, is still trapped in the Lost and Found by the end of the episode, caught in a river and surrounded by prehistoric reptiles in the Lost World.
• SpongeBob's Place: He becomes jealous of SpongeBob for getting all the customers' attention, and people starting calling the Krusty Krab and Krabby Patty SpongeBob's Place and the SpongeBob Patty respectively. He tries to get rid of him by lying about the restaurant being haunted with ghosts. He tries to cook the same way SpongeBob does, but this fails. He goes over the edge when he traps the customers by putting a river of lava around the restaurant. But this also fails when the customers stretched him into a bridge for them to cross, which resulted in him getting burned, which is considered karma. When SpongeBob opens his own restaurant and tells him he could use a boss, he convinces SpongeBob into giving 99% of the ownership of SpongeBob's Place to him, but receives karma again when the health inspector shuts down the restaurant due to it being illegal in Bikini Bottom to sell food in a pineapple.

Season 11

• Spin the Bottle: He selfishly demands the bottle to use it for corruptive matters. He later receives karma at the end of the episode when he wishes for everything in the Krusty Krab to turn into gold, causing Plankton to give up his plan and explains he was going to smash the bottle so Krabs would put him in the bottle with the secret formula inside. At that point, the bottle's real genie shows up, revealing he left it with Plankton while he was visiting his mother, and proceeds to stuff both of them into an empty ketchup bottle along with Patrick and Squidward as punishment for their greed and misuse of his bottle. When SpongeBob finds the bottle with his friends inside, he merely thinks the ketchup is bad and throws it away. Earlier in the episode, he also stole someone else's cup of coffee and newspaper.
• There's A Sponge In My Soup: He grabs some rotten food from the trash cans in order to make the Krabby Soup, which is against many health code violations.
• Krabby Patty Creature Feature: When Sandy and Mr. Krabs create a new Krabby Patty, SpongeBob becomes worried and fears that the patty might be dangerous. SpongeBob attempted to talk Sandy and Mr. Krabs out of it, but they refused to listen to reason. Soon, SpongeBob's worst fears came true when they and the rest of Bikini Bottom were transformed into Krabby Patty zombies. Since he and Sandy made the patty, they didn't test to see if it was safe and were unaware of the patty's horrible side-effects, but being turned into Krabby Patty monsters is considered punishment for failing to see the consequences of making something that could lead to dangerous results. After SpongeBob turned everyone back to normal with Plankton's chum, Sandy and Mr. Krabs both learned their lesson and the Secret Patty is discontinued.
• Patrick's Coupon: When Patrick was going to buy an ice cream for SpongeBob with a coupon, Mr. Krabs tried to con Patrick out of it. He almost succeeds in obtaining it from Patrick in exchange for a handshake but Squidward intervenes and reprimands Krabs for taking advantage of Patrick's naïve and gullible nature. Its later revealed that the coupon was expired, meaning it would have been useless to Krabs even if he got it. When Patrick gets the Ice Cream King to honor his coupon, the ice cream he gets melts by the time he gives it to SpongeBob, so he stole Mr. Krabs arm offscreen to give him a handshake instead. Having his arm stolen by Patrick would count as karma for trying to trick him earlier.
• Out of the Picture: After Mr. Krabs finds out from an art appraiser that Squidward's art would be valuable if Squidward was "out of the picture," Mr. Krabs sends Squidward on several deliveries to far away places, hoping that he will never return. After these attempts fail, Mr. Krabs tries to kill Squidward with a mallet, only to end up destroying both Squidward's artworks and the Krusty Krab. He later receives karma when a piece of the roof falls on him and Squidward, and the same fish who gave him the idea to get rid of Squidward puts them in a museum as an art piece.
• Sanitation Insanity: He cared less about the punishment he got from the trash inspectors and forces SpongeBob and Squidward to clean up the mess for him. When he sees them in a trash fight with Patrick, he blatantly lies that they are ruining his hard work, even though he did not clean up any trash. Soon, he gets involved with the trash fight. Luckily, the trash inspectors puts their fight to a stop and Mr. Krabs sadly accepts the punishment by helping SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward clean up the trash, although Patrick is not seen with them.
• Pat the Horse: He forced Patrick to carry a lot of kids on his back to make money when he pretends to be a horse. He even did the same thing with Squidward and bragged to SpongeBob that his "horse" is better than Patrick. He then challenges SpongeBob to a race to see who gets to deliver the food to a customer at Black Devil Bay first. During the race, he cheated in hopes of winning even though Sandy told them not to, which means that Mr. Krabs doesn't want to play fair. He even impersonated an officer during the race which almost lead him to getting arrested by the police. He eventually wins the race due to Patrick eating the delivery SpongeBob was given, but gets the punishment he deserves when Patrick steals his arms and starts acting like a real crab, forcing him to chase after Patrick to get them back.
• High Sea Diving: He sold Patrick to Bubble Bass when the latter mistakes him for a cutout. What makes it worst is that he knew it was the real Patrick, but decides to sell him anyways without telling Bubble Bass the truth.
• Bottle Burglars: He stuffs both SpongeBob and Squidward in the safe of the Krabby Patty formula as his "new security system." This is yet another time he abuses his workers.
• Shopping List: He gives SpongeBob a phony shopping list containing strange, exotic items and sends him and Sandy on a dangerous but pointless mission to retrieve them. When Plankton steals the fake ingredients, he revealed that he sent SpongeBob to get those items to keep Plankton distracted just so he could go shopping for the real ingredients at the Barg'N-Mart, which meant he also lied about the supposed "apocalypse" that would happen if SpongeBob lost the list. Sandy then gets angry at Mr. Krabs since his stupid little ruse almost got her and SpongeBob killed and costed her both the fur of her tail and her submarine. Mr. Krabs then gets the karma he deserves when Sandy beats him up in his office, takes a bag of his money to pay for a new submarine, and sends him flying through the roof of his restaurant as payback for deceiving his employee. He even admits his defeat at the end when he says to himself, "Well, I guess I had that coming."
• Whale Watching: He imprisons Pearl in his own home by barricading everything with prison bars when she was intending on going to a teen party while he was going out to play cards with his friends. He even threatened Squidward, who was hired to babysit Pearl, that if anything happens to his daughter while he's away, he'll have SpongeBob torment him for the rest of his life.
• Life Insurance: When Squidward decides to try the "Sushi Maker" obstacle course SpongeBob and Patrick made to prove life insurance protects them from injury, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob and Patrick what life insurance really is, and signed SpongeBob's contract to take Squidward's money when he dies, and cheered for Squidward to jump in the lava before leaving, hoping he will die. Fortunately, Squidward survives, albeit badly injured.
• Surf N' Turf: When there is a ship-in-a-bottle contest, Mr. Krabs destroys Sandy's house to make a ship and steals Sandy's treedome to get the prize money. When he arrives, his giant ship accidently destroys all the other entries. After Sandy wins the contest due to accidently destroying her own house with her submarine, he is later forced to build a replacement tree for Sandy until she grows a new one and is constantly shocked by Sandy in case he starts slowing down.
• Plankton Paranoia: He starts to become paranoid and a psychopath himself when Plankton isn't coming to get the Krabby Patty secret formula. He mistakes a customer for Plankton and forces out the skeleton, hooks Mrs. Puff to take away her Krabby Patty, and forces everyone to wear barrels by suggestion of Squidward. Soon Mr. Krabs bans all of his customers, Sandy, and even SpongeBob and Squidward just because he thinks that they are all minions of Plankton sent to steal the secret formula. Mr. Krabs stays up all night, and starts to hallucinate Plankton being everywhere (even his eyestalks). He checks on the Chum Bucket and finds that all of his friends, including his daughter and Old Man Jenkins are entering the Chum Bucket. SpongeBob informs Mr. Krabs that Plankton kidnapped Squidward (in an unnatural-sounding tone), and Mr. Krabs comes armed with Krabby Patties with traps in them. Mr. Krabs comes to the Chum Bucket, only to find it is a surprise party and that Plankton wanted to celebrate the anniversary of stealing the formula. SpongeBob explains everyone was planning the event, as Mr. Krabs regains his sanity and realizes that he had been a paranoid jerk all this time. He even realizes that his own insane behavior nearly destroyed his restaurant business and reconciles with everyone by apologizing for his behavior, but since they knew that he was only trying to protect the secret formula, they naturally forgive him. However, when he sees everyone going to eat the Danger Patties, he rushes over and takes them back in order to protect them from getting hurt, causing Mr. Krabs to get painfully mauled by the patties as punishment for his behavior. At the end of the party, the group leaves Chum Bucket, but Plankton finds out Mr. Krabs left the formula behind. However, the formula bottle has dynamite inside of it, and Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob both watch the Chum Bucket explode.
• ChefBob: He shows no concern for SpongeBob's stage fright problem and threatens to fire SpongeBob if he does not perform. He receives karma when he is insulted about his weight from ChefBob and slapped by him with money, as well as having his office taken from him.
• Call the Cops: Mr. Krabs happily mocks Plankton for getting sent to jail. He also forced SpongeBob to celebrate with him or else he’s fired. However, tables turn on him when the police take the Krabby Patty Secret Formula as evidence. When he objects, he gets hit with a baton. He impersonates as a police officer to get the formula back and makes SpongeBob impersonate an officer too. But even though SpongeBob reluctantly wants to do it, Mr. Krabs once again threatens to fire him if he fails to obey his offer. Mr. Krabs even lies to SpongeBob that being an officer is like being in the navy, which in reality is not true. Although he succeeds in finding the formula and takes it away from Plankton, he gets caught and is arrested after SpongeBob's confession. Getting himself arrested by the police is considered karma for impersonating an officer, stealing evidence, and for forcing SpongeBob to impersonate one as well.
• Appointment TV: Mr. Krabs forces SpongeBob to organize his coins despite his objections.
• The Grill is Gone: He unfairly flings Plankton out of the race as soon as it starts to prevent him from having a fair chance of winning the grill from the kids who stole it earlier and turned it into a race cart. His karma could be being sabotaged by the kids during the race. Mr. Krabs might've been only protecting the Krabby Patty formula, but he could've just beat Plankton in the race since Plankton's selected vehicle seemed too slow anyway. He later wins the race and gets the grill back, but he and SpongeBob are badly injured due to crashing, and the same kids turn the entire Krusty Krab into another cart.
• Bubbletown: After getting a call from SpongeBob that he's in Bubbletown jail, he causes a jailbreak just so he can get SpongeBob back to work. When a guard catches him in the act, Mr. Krabs goes helicopter-pincher-mode and pops the entire city, causing SpongeBob to be really upset. He even ignores the damage he caused (claiming that they were just bubbles) and was about to bring SpongeBob to the Krusty Krab, telling him to forget about it. Later, when SpongeBob was able to inflate the entire town again with the help of Bubble Buddy, a new Krusty Krab (the Bubbly Krab) was inflated as well. Once he realized there was no exchange rate for bubbles to real money, Mr. Krabs popped the restaurant and left with SpongeBob in his claws to the real Krusty Krab.

Season 12

• FarmerBob: He has SpongeBob and Patrick work for Old Man Jenkins at his farm to pay off his debt rather than pay for the materials that he buys from the farm. He also does not believe in SpongeBob's claim in a UFO appearing at the end of the episode. However, he receives karma when he sees the aliens for himself and is abducted along with SpongeBob and Patrick for his cheap nature and not believing SpongeBob.
• The Krusty Slammer: Mr. Krabs turns The Krusty Krab into a jail after he found out jail guard would give him a lot of money. He constantly tortures Plankton with a bunch of punishments while he's in the jail, until Plankton got released early. He then finds out how costly running a prison is, which makes him take away the prisoners food, and he releases the criminals before their prison time was over which is illegal. Mr. Krabs gets arrested for this and gets his comeuppance when he gets locked in a prison cell at the Chum Bucket, while getting chum thrown at by Plankton, with one spoonful being thrown directly into his mouth.
• Gary's Got Legs: It is revealed that he charges each of his customers five dollars to make a complaint. Once he realizes that Gary is making the patties and getting slime everywhere, he heads out to make SpongeBob return to work. Once at SpongeBob's door, it at first looks as if he's concerned about SpongeBob having the flu or being at death's door, only for him to yell that those aren't valid excuses for missing work. Once SpongeBob explains the situation and tells Mr. Krabs how happy Gary is to have limbs, he effortlessly cuts them off anyway and brings SpongeBob back to work. However, his actions could be justified since he brought things back to normal.
• Broken Alarm: When SpongeBob didn't arrive at the Krusty Krab, he makes the customers more upset when he announces his supposed death. He even scared them with horror stories of SpongeBob's house. Throughout the entire episode, he continuously made threats to SpongeBob about being late to the Krusty Krab if he doesn't get a proper alarm clock. He even tried to find a replacement fry cook if SpongeBob doesn't arrive on time. But he changed that when SpongeBob made it, even though he was sound asleep. When Mr. Krabs discovered that SpongeBob is still asleep after arriving to work, and destroyed the kitchen when the mechanism malfunctions when Bubble Bass returns his order due to not having enough pickles, it looked as though if he was going to fire him as punishment for being late. But instead, he makes a cheap and pathetic excuse by saying that he'll have to open and close the restaurant an hour later, something SpongeBob overreacts to. Fortunately, Patrick comes in and shows SpongeBob that he fixed his alarm clock.
• Senior Discount: He tries to get rid of Old Man Jenkins using very cruel ways: turning up the heat to very hot temperature, playing very loud rock music and even shaking him making his skeleton fall off his body. Seeing that this all didn't work, he brings over his family so they can get rid of Jenkins. He even disturbs the ghosts of his ancestors although they just wanted to party. He then gets kicked out of the Krusty Krab with Jenkins by both their ancestors, and decide to go to the Chum Bucket and torture Plankton the same way Jenkins does while they wait for the ghosts to leave.
• SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout: He is seen stealing money from people in the party as payment for entering the Krusty Krab section of the party. He does this by tricking them into a pat down before entering.
• SpongeBob in RandomLand: Mr. Krabs forces SpongeBob and Squidward to make a delivery to RandomLand in order to make a quick buck while ignoring the protesting Squidward and ejected him by bashing him out with the malfunctioning cash register. He receives karma at the end of the episode when Rodger, the customer who made the order, come to the restaurant to complain after his employees couldn't make the delivery on time due to being unable to find his house and being forced to chase a RandomLand citizen after she steals the order. As a result, he is forced to give the order for free, much to his dismay. He then receives further punishment for sending his employees on a dangerous wild goose chase when the cash register bashes him the same way it did to SpongeBob and Squidward.
• Breakin': it was revealed that Mr. Krabs doesn't give his employees any breaks. After being confronted by a labor authority officer, Mr. Krabs only agreed to give SpongeBob the minimum amount of break time: 5 minutes every 20 years or else he will pay a fine. It was also revealed that he hid an actual break room behind the wall to prevent his employees from taking breaks in the first place. After SpongeBob's break was up, he once again covers up the break room, unknowingly trapping Squidward inside.
• My Two Krabses: He steals Squidward's lunch, claiming that employees are not allowed to bring their own food into the restaurant (which probably hints that they have to order from the menu and pay for their food like a customer for them to eat which would be reasonable if not what's revealed later). This rule turned out to be a con by Mr. Krabs to get free food as he hypocritically looks through Squidward's bag and eats his strawberry ice cream sandwich. This ends up backfiring on him, as the tanning booth he was in causes the ice cream to melt next to his empty shell, causing SpongeBob to think he melted and tries to bring him back to life using chum so he wouldn't miss his date with Mrs. Puff, resulting in Krabs getting humiliated when he comes home naked to his daughter's party, and attacked by SpongeBob and Patrick when they think he's an imposter trying to ruin the date. When he tries to tell SpongeBob and Patrick he was the real Mr. Krabs, they don't believe him until Squidward shows up and reveals he's telling the truth, and takes the opportunity to mock his tuxedo as karma for stealing his lunch.
• Kwarantined Krab: According to him, it is revealed that back in his navy days, they would isolate the "sicko" and lock them in the freezer so that the others can enjoy their good health. However, it's highly implied that nobody let out the people Mr. Krabs quarantined in the freezer during his sailor years, meaning they likely froze to death. When the health inspector quarantines the Krusty Krab after he discovers somebody inside has Clam Flu, who is later revealed to be Plankton, he sends SpongeBob in the freezer after he sneezes, despite him not being sick. After Patrick pretends to be sick so he could be with SpongeBob, he becomes paranoid by thinking someone is sick such as Squidward scratching his arm, or Mrs. Puff yawning, and throws them into the freezer. When Pearl remembers that she still had money leftover from last time she went to the mall and gives him back his change, Mr. Krabs think that the flu has poisoned Pearl's mind, and he locks her in the freezer too, despite that his daughter was only giving his change back. When the others discover none of them are sick and believe Mr. Krabs is the one with Clam Flu, they escape the freezer and attempt to throw him in, only to end up getting into a fight with him all over the restaurant, resulting in the others each getting a different disease, and Krabs himself getting a combination of all five diseases. He also mentions that he bribes the health inspector yearly.

Season 13

• SpongeBob's Road to Christmas: During his Christmas party, Mr. Krabs, being the cheap skinflint he's always been, gave Plankton a lump of coal for Christmas rather than a decent gift.

Battle For Bikini Bottom

• He has a large possession of Golden Spatulas which he knows are needed for Bikini Bottom to be saved, but refuses to let SpongeBob have them unless he trades them for a large quantity of shiny objects.
• When SpongeBob reluctantly disagrees to give him a hard earned Golden Spatula, Mr. Krabs makes SpongeBob's break time at work -5 minutes, effectively meaning he has no break and has to work an extra five minutes.
• After having bought all the Golden Spatulas Mr. Krabs has, the player can still talk with him. However, he only ever says the one thing; "The only good robot is the one that's givin' me them shiny objects". This is a subtle reference to the possibility that Mr. Krabs thinks of SpongeBob as a robot which is actually another word for slave.
