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.
Plankton hires Patrick to create advertising slogans for the Chum Bucket; SpongeBob helps Plankton find the perfect anniversary gift for Karen.
SpongeBob learns that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; when worms move in to SpongeBob's holes, he has to hide his disgusting new friends from everyone else.
Squidward is stuck indoors with SpongeBob and Patrick during a storm; Plankton creates an underground restaurant that threatens to put the Krusty Krab out of business.
Squidward is so tired that SpongeBob and Patrick are unable to wake him up, but they do not want him to miss his big audition; Mr. Krabs and his crew cater a fancy party, but they might be out of their depth with their new wealthy customers.
