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.

The next confrontation of the toughest guys in town, "The Sharks," may be too much for SpongeBob to handle; Plankton clones SpongeBob to steal the secret formula, but his plans may be ruined by the original SpongeBob.

When a prehistoric sponge is unfrozen, he causes chaos all over town and only SpongeBob can communicate with him; when a flock of clams descends on Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob has to get them out before they ruin the whole town.

SpongeBob visits the dreams of others; SpongeBob comes down with the sniffles.

A new neighbor moves into town and becomes Squidward's best friend; SpongeBob helps Squidward prepare for a date.
