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 and Patrick dig a tunnel between their houses; Patrick wreaks havoc in Bikini Bottom when he learns karate.

Mr. Krabs reveals that he and Plankton have not always been bitter enemies.

Patrick inducts SpongeBob into his prestigious society of dullards and doofuses; Patrick takes his grime to a new extreme, playing around in so much trash that he becomes unrecognizable.

SpongeBob and Patrick throw snowballs at Squidward; Mr. Krabs has a garage sale.
