Le Spatula

Le Spatula is a minor antagonist from SpongeBob SquarePants. He appeared in the Season 4 episode, "All That Glitters".

Why He's An Intentionally Bad Spatula

 * 1) The reason why he exists so that SpongeBob would replace his normal spatulla (who is fact a living real object only in that episode) when it was broken and it doesn’t go well.
 * 2) He is just an unfunny stereotypical French jerk. As he betrays SpongeBob just because he wouldn't touch what he considers "filth" before running off.
 * 3) SpongeBob literally sold everything he has (Including his own clothes) just to buy Le Spatula, only to get betrayed by him. Which is just a huge slap in the face.
 * 4) He barely gets any more screen time in this episode at all.
 * 5) He for some reason has legs, even though his purpose was to cook food and not compete in a running marathon.
 * 6) He even goes as far as to punch SpongeBob, which makes him an utterly cruel and heartless jerk.
 * 7) Speaking of WIS #1, he is kind of picky. The reason why he wouldn't let SpongeBob touch him is that he only prefers to cook fancy food rather than any other food, which makes the tool more worthless than it looks.
 * 8) He never gets punished for his cruel actions towards SpongeBob.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite its poor execution, the concept of a futuristic spatula with a lot of features seems cool and creative.
 * 2) It's pretty obvious that he was made to be loathed for being an entitled and snobbish piece of junk.
 * 3) His design is passable to look at.
 * 4) Dee Bradley Baker does an excellent job of voicing him, much like all of his other characters that he has voiced in the show.

Trivia

 * His name is not grammatically correct. Since in French, nouns have genders, the French word from "spatula" ("spatule"), the correct way would be "Le Spatule."
