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 brings herds of jellyfish to Mr. Krabs; Patrick gets a job at the Chum Bucket and competes with SpongeBob in the Fry Cook Games.
Patrick gets his license and wins a car; a document reveals that Patrick is next in line to become a king.
Frustrated that he's seen as cute instead of evil, Plankton builds a robot to punish anyone who says "aww!"; Patrick crushes the mailman, so he and SpongeBob deliver the mail around Bikini Bottom.
Plankton replaces his computer wife with a new version; SpongeBob asks Patrick to help him fall asleep.
