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 Pat suddenly grows a grown-up beard, he decides it's time to act like a grown-up, too; while preparing to give an oral report for boating school, SpongeBob realizes that he's got a case of stage fright.
SpongeBob befriends a sentient Krabby Patty whose only wish is to be eaten; Rube hosts an episode of "FUN-Believable! With Rube" where he explores little known oddities and attractions around Bikini Bottom.
SpongeBob takes his turn as hall monitor; SpongeBob brings home a wild jellyfish.
SpongeBob uses a "bad" word; SpongeBob enrolls in an art class that Squidward is teaching.
