ARGH! Good news fer me! I been lookin' fer a roommate ta wash all these dirty socks! HAR! HAR! Davy Jones' locker
Davy Jones' locker is a locker full of smelly gym socks. It is associated with the Flying Dutchman and appears in the episodes "Born Again Krabs," "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One," and "The Curse of Bikini Bottom." It is the series' equivalent of Hell. In SpongeBob Comics No. 55 and SpongeBob Comics No. 56, the locker is a fully sentient character.
Description
Davy Jones' locker is a rusty gym locker that is filled with smelly socks. In the episodes, it seems to have green goo at the bottom of it. The purpose of it is to torture whoever is in it.
Folklore
The legend of "Davy Jones' locker" has existed in nautical folklore for many years, the first record being in 1726. In actual folklore, "Davy Jones' locker" is a phrase meant to refer to the bottom of the sea, where drowned sailors and wrecked ships end up. The name "Davy Jones" is likely a reference to the ghost of Jonah, the biblical figure who was swallowed by a giant fish, and was released by God after praying to be rescued. However, SpongeBob SquarePants takes a different route, and uses The Monkees singer of the same name.

Trivia
- The only two people seen taken to Davy Jones' locker are Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob in "Born Again Krabs," but neither were put inside it.
- If Davy Jones was the official owner of Davy Jones' locker, that would mean that as of "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One," the Flying Dutchman kept Davy Jones' locker.
