Plankton kicks a pirate. https://youtu.be/52oDX3_1XDY?t=115
This apparently takes place in Savanna, Georgia. The guy lands in the island near Bikini Bottom, which should be very close to Bikini Atoll. I will be applying the KE formula to get some numbers out of this.

There's a jumpcut in the middle, so I'll have to make up some timeframes.
8 seconds - highball using the raw timeframe, acting as if there were no jumpcut
15 seconds - midball
30 seconds - lowball
So the average male weighs around 90 kg.
The distance between Savannah Georgia and Bikini Atoll is 7,110 miles, or 11,442,440 meters.
11,442,440 / 8 = 1,430,305 m/s
11,442,440 / 15 = 762,829 m/s
11,442,440 / 30 = 381,415 m/s
0.5 * 90 * 381,415^2 = 6.5464831e+12 joules, or 1.56 Kilotons of TNT - Small Town level
0.5 * 90 * 762,829^2 = 2.6185864e+13 joules, or 6.25 Kilotons of TNT - Town level
0.5 * 90 * 1,430,305^2 = 9.2059758e+13 joules, or 22 Kilotons of TNT - Town level
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE
Notice how Plankton, in the video, is kicking the guy away from the shore? Out into the ocean? Well guess what:
Notice how the shore of Savannah is facing the direction OPPOSITE of Bikini Atoll? That means Plankton kicked the guy the long way around. Meaning, all the way around the earth.
For this, I'll just take the circumference of the earth and subtract the distance from Savannah to Atoll.
24,901 - 7,110 miles = 17,791 miles, or 28,631,839 meters
28,631,839 / 30 = 954,395 m/s
28,631,839 / 15 = 1,908,789 m/s
28,631,839 / 8 = 3,578,978 m/s
0.5 * 90 * 954,395^2 = 4.0989142e+13 joules, or 9.8 Kilotons of TNT - Town level
0.5 * 90 * 1,908,789^2 = 1.639564e+14 joules, or 39.2 Kilotons of TNT - Town level
0.5 * 90 * 3,578,980^2 = 5.764094e+14 joules, or 137.76 Kilotons of TNT - Large Town level
Ugarik's version[]
I think it's better to use initial velosity as a low-end assuming maximum height of 50 km (The top of the stratosphere)
V = 0.5*28631839*sqrt[9.81/(2*50000)] = 141792.66 m/s
KE = 0.5*90*141792.66^2 = 9.044*10^11 J 216.17 Tons - Multi-City Block level
Opposide direction:
V = 0.5*11442440*sqrt[9.81/(2*50000)] = 56666.07 m/s
KE = 0.5*90*56666.07^2 = 1.445*10^11 J 34.53 Tons - City Block level
