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.
Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob hide the health inspector's body; SpongeBob and Patrick throw out their new TV and keep the box.
Pearl gets a job to be cool like her friends, but the only store that is hiring is the lamest store at the mall; SpongeBob loses the use of his thumbs.
SpongeBob and Patrick throw snowballs at Squidward; Mr. Krabs has a garage sale.
SpongeBob can't shake a group of elves who want to repay him for a good deed; a mime begins following (and imitating) SpongeBob, much to his annoyance.
