Peter Bennett And Andy "Spike" Clark (Backgrounds Colors) "Shanghaied", also known as "You Wish",[1] is an episode of the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.
In this episode, SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny), Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke), and Squidward Tentacles (Rodger Bumpass) encounter the Flying Dutchman (Brian-Doyle Murray), a ghostly pirate who seeks to acquire a new eternal crew to scare the residents of Bikini Bottom.
As SpongeBob and Patrick do a poor job as his crew, the pirate considers devouring them instead, leading the two to try to figure out how to thwart his plan.
In Encino, California, SpongeBob SquarePants fan Patchy the Pirate (Tom Kenny) presents his favorite episode "Shanghaied" to audiences.
Due to Squidward's complaining, the pirate opens a zipper-like portal and throws him into the "Fly of Despair", a void filled with horrific imagery, intimidating SpongeBob and Patrick into becoming crew members.
The two escape their holding cell through a live-action perfume department; after surviving the smells, they overhear the Dutchman mentioning in his diary that he cannot eat without his "dining sock", which they steal.
After the episode proper, Patchy tries to read fan mail, only to be blown up with his parrot Potty (Stephen Hillenburg), who lit a fuse on himself, not knowing it was no longer planned for the program.
[1] The revised version would also be featured in the UK edition of the "SpongeBob Squarepants: Ghoul Fools" DVD release on October 8, 2012, with dubbing in French, German, Italian, and Dutch.
[4] Another version without the Patchy segments was released on the "Sea Stories" DVD on November 5, 2002 as a bonus feature where viewers can play the episode with the ending of their choice.
