Friendly resident doctor, or medical maniac.
Are you ready for your treatment?
This is Bikini Bottom Mysteries.
[dramatic music playing]
Whether it's the case of the suds, or a broken butt.
Your butt's all better.
If you live in Bikini Bottom,
chances are you've been treated by this doctor, who we'll call
the Purple Doctor Fish.
Seriously, we don't even know his real name.
I've never seen anything like it.
But what we do know, he's a little off.
Exhibit A, his patients.
Medical expert, huh?
Tell that to these three patients who were treated by the fishy physician.
I'm afraid you'll never puff again.
[gasping]
Wrong.
We actually ran out of staples and had to use a glue stick.
Wronger.
So I'm gonna be OK, Doc?
Well, if you don't want to take my word for it,
let's just check your chart.
Oh no, this is terrible!
So wrong.
Looks like these patients need a second opinion.
The doctor's office is a horrible, horrible place!
And what kind of practicing doctor doesn't wear gloves or even shoes?
- That's disgusting! - But that's just the beginning.
- It gets much worse. - Don't touch me!
Exhibit B, hospital horrors.
We have a special treatment for you.
Here he's seen administering cruel and unusual treatments.
Misusing medical supplies.
Yes, everyone needs to relax.
And worst of all, refusing treatment to weenies.
I think you guys want that hospital.
Weenie Hut General!
Good thing he's a doctor, because this is one sick fish.
Come check out the carnage. It's actually quite entertaining.
So how has he never been caught or stripped of his medical license?
Maybe this nameless doctor doesn't exist at all.
Batten down the hatches, because we have a theory
that might just blow your mind.
For a doctor so terrible at treating his own patients,
how is he so good at treating pets, specifically snails?
All the doctor is saying is that your snail is still in the intensive care unit.
This is definitely a snail.
Uh, we're with the pet hospital down the street--
Wait, did you catch that?
Uh, we're with the pet hospital--
He actually admits he's from the pet hospital,
which leads us to exhibit C, the snail doctor.
Enter Dr. Gill Gilliam, S.D.E and S.E.
Snail disease expert and snail expert.
A trusted vet who diffused the great mad snail disease scare of Bikini Bottom.
Did someone say 'mad snail disease'?
Notice anything familiar about him? Take a closer look.
Closer, closer.
He bears a striking resemblance to the Purple Doctor Fish.
Coincidence? Perhaps. But what about his voice?
- Mad snail disease? - That's not what I'm saying at all.
The same face, the same voice, and the same glasses?
Are they the same fish?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Is this nameless purple doctor's true identity Dr. Gill Gilliam?
Are the purple scales just a clever disguise?
There's only one problem.
The Purple Doctor Fish has fins, and Gilliam has hands.
Hold it right there, Doc.
If SpongeBob can wear fake arms to make him look buff,
couldn't Gilliam wear fake purple fins to complete his disguise?
There's no way to know for sure.
Unless, he forgets to wear his fins.
How in the name of Neptune does the Purple Doctor Fish
suddenly have orange hands?
That's right, you've been caught orange-handed, Gill.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So what's the disguise for?
Burglary? Arson? Or maybe...
Get 'em, boys!
Piracy.
Pretty gruesome, huh?
One doctor impersonating another doctor, impersonating a pirate?
What's it all for, Doc?
We may never know the true motives behind your secret life,
but rest assured, we're on to you.
And now, a Bikini Bottom Bonus Mystery.
Think these are ordinary glass helmets?
Well, think again!
How is SpongeBob able to blow a bubble through solid glass?
Stranger yet, how can Sandy reach this whistle to her mouth
without removing her helmet?
And Patrick even eats an apple right through his helmet.
Much better.
File this one under U for 'Uhhh'.
Have you seen something strange under the sea?
Leave us a comment and tune in next time for more investigations
that will blow your pores, strip your scales and flip your fins.
