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.

The gang heads to a food convention, but things go awry when they become stranded in the woods; SpongeBob accidentally fibs to his pen pal, but when his friend comes to visit, he must keep the ruse going.

The long-lost episode of "Mermaid Man" is finally showing on TV, but SpongeBob may not make it home in time to watch; Karen gets a computer virus, and it's up to SpongeBob to get it out of her.

Patrick begins to take over SpongeBob's life and identity; SpongeBob blows a bubble to keep him company.

SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward are swept away to a remote tropical island by a giant wave.
