A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior.
SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward squeeze inside a tiny treehouse; SpongeBob adopts a stray seahorse.
When SpongeBob gets a pair of long pants, they change his life in unexpected ways; when Larry the Lobster opens a new gym in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob becomes his best customer.
SpongeBob discovers that Squidward has never actually tried a Krabby patty; a bully threatens SpongeBob.
When Sandy tries to study SpongeBob and Patrick's behavioral patterns, her science experiment goes awry; after following Plankton's advice, Mr. Krabs decides to marry the only thing he has ever loved - money.
