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.

When SpongeBob and Pat sell candy bars door to door, they end up buying more than they sell; superheroes visit.

SpongeBob applies for a job as a fry cook at Krusty Krab; Squidward's lawn; SpongeBob meets Sandy Cheeks.

Mr. Krabs and Plankton woo customers with greasy entrées; SpongeBob tries to be a model in a kitchen sponge commercial.

SpongeBob can't shake a group of elves who want to repay him for a good deed; a mime begins following (and imitating) SpongeBob, much to his annoyance.
