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.
Patrick inducts SpongeBob into his prestigious society of dullards and doofuses; Patrick takes his grime to a new extreme, playing around in so much trash that he becomes unrecognizable.
Squidward gets left with a mess when SpongeBob and Patrick use carrier clams to send messages to each other; after cooking his kazillionth Krabby Patty, SpongeBob believes he's developed an allergy to them.
Squidward finds himself in the freezer; karate sparring wreaks havoc.
Mr. Krabs interferes with Pearl's slumber party preparations; SpongeBob decides to give Gary a makeover before entering him in a pet show.
