This makes so much sense.

I've only ever seen this scene in German, where the guy doesn't say "buns and thighs", he just says "Oberschenkelmuskeln" (which means thigh muscles) and I think that's beautiful.

I've heard spongebob in German is a quality experience

They put a lot of effort in the translation and voice acting. Whenever a joke doesn't translate, they come up with something in the same spirit. Sometimes, I like the translation better.

As you said, it's very well done, aside from very few impossible-to-solve issues*. There might be some bias at play since I grew up with it, but I'd say it's on par with the original dub. You can check out some examples here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOiBiRt-TOw
