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 attempts to write an 800-word essay before morning; Patrick tries to impress his parents on Starfish Day.
When SpongeBob fails his driver's test again, Mr. Krabs decides to teach him how to drive; SpongeBob gets lost while trying to take a shortcut to work.
SpongeBob uses a "bad" word; SpongeBob enrolls in an art class that Squidward is teaching.
Squidward receives an invitation to a gallery opening and scrambles to find a friend to take with him; while trying to order a special sandwich, Patrick gets swept up in the fast-paced world of business.
