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 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.

Squidward swallows his clarinet reed; Patrick disguises himself as a girl.

SpongeBob discovers that Squidward has never actually tried a Krabby patty; a bully threatens SpongeBob.

The place where Plankton usually dumps his rotten chum is too full, so he tricks SpongeBob into hiding it around the city; SpongeBob befriends a small storm cloud but has to protect it from a crazed weatherman.
