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 wins the cutest baby contest and becomes the face of a baby food brand; when Squidward's one-off portrait of SpongeBob takes the art world by storm, he has no choice but to produce more.

Mr. Krabs must pretend that he is a pirate when his grandfather comes to visit; SpongeBob discovers that Squidward is a member of a secret society and decides that he wants to join.

Stardom goes to SpongeBob's head after he appears in Krabs' low-budget commercial; Squidward becomes impoverished.

SpongeBob orders a product that will help him learn to say no; SpongeBob gets a song stuck in his head.
