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 works the grill at the toughest joint in town; Karen looks after Spot while Plankton goes out of town.

SpongeBob thinks Mr. Krabs is a robot; SpongeBob and Patrick care for an abandoned baby clam.

Mr. Krabs turns a hole in the wall of his restaurant into a drive-through window; a famous race car driver's son teaches SpongeBob how to drive.

While researching his family tree, SpongeBob discovers that one of his ancestors was a famous chili-slinger named SpongeBuck.
