Is this trusted, local vendor simply selling sweets?
Or is he peddling something sour?
This is Bikini Bottom Mysteries.
From the friendly shores of Goo Lagoon.
Thanks.
To the lawless waves of pirate territory.
Get 'em boys!
Lou will go just about anywhere to make a buck.
But follow his money trail, and Lou's motives might turn murky.
Exhibit A: Ambition.
It seems Lou works every job under the sea.
He swabs the decks of a cargo ship
serves up snacks at The Reef, and picks up shifts at the Barg'N-Mart.
Seem like an honest businessman?
Wrong!
He'll sneak his hot dog cart into a museum.
A purveyor of food.
Got a permit for that weenie wagon?
And capitalizing on endless bathroom lines?
Popcorn, peanuts.
Can't a guppy go in peace, Lou?
Just look how far he'll push himself to squeeze a dime out of an honest fish.
And what's your pleasure?
Looks like all this greedy gills cares about is scooping up cash.
But is Lou really all about the clams?
Exhibit B: Freebies.
Business would be booming at Goo Lagoon
if Lou were actually charging his customers.
Two please.
Thanks.
But where's the money, Lou?
Here, he's so busy giving away balloons
that he lets thieves run off with even more of his stock.
Customers have to literally throw money at him.
There you go.
And those party kits, guess what?
Oh we're having a special on those, they're free.
They're free.
What kind of sale is this?
A buy none, get one free sale?
If that sounds suspicious,
you won't believe what we've uncovered in this footage.
Watch closely.
He doesn't even keep ice cream in that cart.
So if he's not profiting off his ice cream...
What's Lou really selling?
Temper tantrum in center aisle!
Exhibit C: Profiteering. Tons of business that don't actually make any sales.
Tons of business that don't actually make any sales.
Is the real money in selling something... darker?
No, no. Thank you.
Could this friendly-looking fish actually be profiting from disaster?
Not convinced?
Lou's been spotted inciting an angry mob.
And then raking in revenue selling flaming torches.
Just look at that cold-hearted smile.
And what exactly is the deal with those red stains on his apron?
But hang on to your shell.
Because things are about to get much more shocking.
As these poor spectators are drenched in searing hot oil.
Get your fish sticks here!
Lou darts in to turn a profit off this horrific tragedy
Just seconds after they're deep fried to a crisp.
It's almost like he was waiting for this moment.
Lou, you twisted, vicious fish.
So is Lou really a jolly ice cream vendor?
No, no. Thank you.
Hiya!
Or deep down, is he a warped, undersea monster?
We may never uncover the true depths of Lou's depravity.
Get your torches!
But there's one thing we do know.
Never order the fish sticks.
And now, a Bikini Bottom Bonus Mystery.
The Dirty Bubble is a top officer of Every Villain Is Lemons.
But how evil is he, really?
Manray is definitely invested in taking over the world.
World domination!
But The Dirty Bubble seems much more interested in
stylish hats, paddle ball, book clubs and childish pranks.
And make him eat dirt.
Is this so-called "arch nemesis" really in over his head?
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's arch nemesis!
The Dirty Bubble!
Is he just an innocent bubble who fell in with a bad crowd?
File this one under F for Free The Dirty Bubble.
