Hall Monitor - Episodes

SpongeBob SquarePants wakes up and climbs up his diving board next to his bed, jumps off into his pants and announces to his pet snail, Gary that he had to be "in top physical condition for the day". He then starts lifting weights (Stuffed animals) and runs out of his house shouting 'I'm ready"! He arrives at the Krusty Krab, a fast food eatery in Bikini Bottom, and wants to get a job. But he, being nervous, decides that he can't do it and runs toward his house, but runs into Patrick, his overweight best friend. Patrick then gives SpongeBob a pep talk. When SpongeBob,now determined enters the Krusty Krab, he trips and flys around and lands by Mr. Krabs (the manager) and Squidward (an employee). They then give him a test to find a "Hydro-Dynamic Spatula", to get him out of their hair. When SpongeBob leaves to look for the spatula at the Barg'nMart, buses carrying hungry anchovies arrive and flood the Krusty Krab. At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs and Squidward climb up one of the poles holding together the Krusty Krab, while, an anchovy wave nearly reaches the top of the Krusty Krab. Then SpongeBob arrives and cooks Krabby Patties at an incredibly hyper speed with the new spatula. The anchovies, their enormous appetite satisfied, run out of the Krusty Krab and back into the buses. Mr. Krabs hires SpongeBob and then goes into his office to count his money. Patrick arrives and SpongeBob uses his spatula to cook another Krabby Patty, but he ends up making a bunch, the patties hit Patrick and flies out of the Krusty Krab and Squidward yells for Mr. Krabs to do something about the chaos.

First appearance: SpongeBob SquarePants, Gary the Snail, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Mr. Krabs, anchovies.

Best Day Ever Rank: 24

Squidward finds a shell on his lawn and thinks it ruins his spotless lawn. He then kicks it into SpongeBob's yard. SpongeBob then finds it and uses his reef blower to blow it into Squidward's yard. He also blows sand onto Squidward. When he tries to blow it away, the shell goes back into his yard, along with the sand. He then sucks the sand into his reef blower, causing it to malfunction, spurting out its gears. SpongeBob then tries to start his reef blower, but it won't work, so he pulls the cord back really far. After letting go, he grabs back on and is pulled back, causing the whole ocean to be sucked up. When the reef blower bursts the ocean flows out of it and Squidward's yard is covered with sand, along with Squidward himself. To Squidward's annoyance, SpongeBob's yard is completely clear of sand. The shell then floats onto Squidward's nose.

SpongeBob meets a squirrel named Sandy Cheeks (who was fighting a giant clam) and becomes friends with her. Sandy invites him over to her house, but when SpongeBob arrives, he is surprised to find that there is no water (making him unable to breathe properly), so he spends his time trying to find some. Patrick later comes into the Treedome to remind SpongeBob about drinking tea in a fancy fashion, not knowing that there was no water in there. Sandy later finds out that both SpongeBob and Patrick needed water when they look shriveled up, so she fills glass bowls with water, and puts it on their heads to solve their problem.

First appearance: Sandy Cheeks

The Narrator introduces Goo Lagoon, a very popular beach in Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob and Sandy are playing. SpongeBob puts on a show by making sand sculptures such as him covering himself in sand and calling himself, "Sandy.", acting like Squidward, and as Vito who says, "Did anyone order 25 pepperoni and sand pizzas?", making Sandy laugh. Larry the Lobster comes and asks if they want to lift weights, which Sandy quickly accepts, while SpongeBob mopes behind them. When they arrive at the weight lifting area, Sandy lifts a bar weight and the crowd cheers. SpongeBob tries to get them to do something else, but Larry continues. He lifts a bar weight with six weights and the crowd cheers. Attempting to impress the crowd, SpongeBob lifts a stick but the crowd falls asleep. Sandy then lifts two anchors and is cheered. Larry then lifts the entire audience on the bleachers, and once again the crowd cheers. SpongeBob is left out, and tries to get more attention by lifting a stick with marshmallows on the ends, which he actually struggles to do. However, he accidentally rips his pants in the process, and the crowd laughs hysterically. Feeling embarrassed, SpongeBob sadly leaves the weight lifting area, as the people continue to laugh at him, until one fish compliments him for the good laugh. When Sandy agrees, SpongeBob decides to use this to his advantage. He rips his pants again while playing volleyball, then while playing Frisbee. SpongeBob and Sandy then proceed to get some ice cream, where he again uses his ripped pants joke and the Banana Splits came in playing their theme song. He gets carried away and uses the joke at the snack bar and a kitchen. While at the surfing competition, SpongeBob rips his pants while surfing, which bores everyone. Realizing this, SpongeBob pretends to drown. When he washes up on the beach, a crowd gathers around him. He tells the lifeguard that he needs a tailor,- because he ripped his pants. Everyone gets upset and leaves, including Sandy. He attempts to revive the joke by ripping his entire pants off, but it fails. After he realizes that he has driven all his friends away, he asks himself if he is the biggest loser on the beach. This question is answered by three other beach goers, who each believe they are the biggest losers on the beach: Murray who forgot to put on sunscreen, Dexter who got sand in his burger buns, and Don Music who was buried in the sand and forgotten. They ask SpongeBob what happened to him, and he tells his story through a song. Everyone on the beach hears his song, and understands how he feels and that he apologizes. Sandy tells SpongeBob that if he wanted her to be his friend, he should have been himself. Larry asks SpongeBob to sign his pants, and SpongeBob accepts. He bends down to sign, but his underwear rips off completely, and SpongeBob blushes in embarrassment.

When SpongeBob and Patrick find that Squidward is recovering from a cycling accident, they take him "jellyfishing" (a sport involving the capture of jellyfish) and are determined to make his first day back from the hospital his "best day ever". Unfortunately, their good intentions accidentally wreak havoc on Squidward's recovery efforts. Squidward catches a jellyfish, but then the queen jellyfish emerges and stings Squidward. The next day, SpongeBob and Patrick give Squidward, who is now in a body cast, the jellyfish he originally caught. Squidward lets it loose and it stings SpongeBob and Patrick multiple times as they run away. Squidward laughs at their pain, but the queen jellyfish returns and stings him again, breaking off his body cast, ending the episode when he says "Ouch."

It's mass chaos at the Krusty Krab when Plankton, Mr. Krabs' physically tiny business rival (and a determined, unsuccessful one at that), tries to steal the Krabby Patty formula for his own restaurant, the Chum Bucket. But as usual, Mr. Krabs stops him. That night, Plankton tries to con SpongeBob into giving him the formula. Spongebob refuses. Plankton has to go to his last resort - controlling SpongeBob's mind. Plankton gets just inches away from getting the secret formula by trying to make him drop a Krabby Patty into a machine that traps any item put into it and tells him the exact ingredients. But SpongeBob, when he is about to drop the Krabby Patty into the machine, begins to cry, describing how delicious the burger is, and reveals the ingredients using his own words, Plankton becomes extremely tempted to eat the Krabby Patty and jumps out of Spongebob's head to get it, but ends up accidentally trapping himself in his own machine before he can succeed. SpongeBob then leaves the Chum Bucket, and Plankton yells in horror.

SpongeBob has to go to boating school as he continues to fail his driving test. He shares this info with Patrick, and Patrick decides to secretly give SpongeBob instructions during the test via walkie-talkie. He wears a ten-gallon hat on his head to hide the walkie-talkie antenna protruding from his head (as Patrick shoved the walkie-talkie into there). SpongeBob almost passes, but, feeling guilty, ends up revealing that he is cheating. He distracts himself while he says this, and causes him to accidentally run the boat off the road, thus failing the test.

A customer asks for a pizza from the Krusty Krab, so Mr. Krabs takes a Krabby Patty turning it into a pizza. SpongeBob and Squidward then are sent to deliver it. Squidward tells SpongeBob to back up the delivery boat, but instead, he panics (as he never passed his driving test), and throws the boat into reverse, speeding backwards into the distance. Unfortunately, the boat runs out of gas and the two cannot find their way back to Bikini Bottom while on foot when Squidward kicked the boat and it suddenly gets a full tank and drives away by itself. The two go on a very tiresome journey, but after using SpongeBob's pioneering skills (where Squidward uses a reference to the television series The Beverly Hillbillies, calling SpongeBob "Jethro" every time he refers to the pioneers), including nutty hitchhiking, moss pointing to civilazation, and riding a rock, they finally reach the customer's house. However, the customer is not pleased at all that he did not get the soda he insists he ordered with his pizza (to which he did order the soda, but at the time Mr. Krabs placed the phone down). He gets really unnecessarily mad with SpongeBob and he refuses to pay for the pizza, making the sponge cry. Feeling sorry for a heartbroken SpongeBob, Squidward slams the pizza in the customer's face and they both return to the Krusty Krab after the "successful" delivery. But, Squidward soon discovers that there was a shortcut from the Krusty Krab to the customer's house, and that the two had taken a different route (and an unnecessarily long one).

A horde of hungry nematodes come to town and, after eating several indigestible objects, become thirsty and "drink" Spongebob's house. When this happens, SpongeBob plans to move back with his parents, though with a lot of reluctance because he'll miss his old house and friends dearly. Squidward is, unsurprisingly, excited about the idea of SpongeBob leaving, and even parties, but Patrick does everything he can to keep him from leaving, whether it be building a new house (it was way, way too small) or offering SpongeBob the chance to stay with him at his rock (so that they can be "rockmates"). This proves to be short-lived, due to Patrick's loud snoring at night and dreaming about a fear of spiders (while sleepwaking, Patrick beats SpongeBob with his rock). The next day, SpongeBob's parents arrive to take him to their home. Squidward dances with joy on the spot where SpongeBob's house used to be. As a last memento, SpongeBob puts what he thinks is a pebble (actually a seed) in the ground where the house used to be. SpongeBob cries and a tear drops from his nose completely drenching the seed. The seed grows into a new house for SpongeBob. The ground starts to shake, and his house grows back, with Squidward being stuck underneath of it. SpongeBob decides to live in his pineapple house again now that it's restored and says he'll live there forever.

SpongeBob and Patrick discover that their favorite actors/superheroes, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, live in Shady Shoals, a retirement home on the other side of Bikini Bottom. They try to convince the crime-fighting duo to come out of retirement through several different tactics. As a last resort, SpongeBob pretends to be robbed by Patrick, and then paint Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's Invisible Boatmobile (which was literally invisible until it was painted). Enraged by the constant annoyance that SpongeBob and Patrick create, the duo attack SpongeBob and Patrick with several superpowers, with the final one being the summoning of all the elderly people residing in the retirement home (who were once the "creatures of the sea") wrongly assume that the mob considers them heroes, and throw them away. Ultimately, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy decide to come out of retirement, though they decide to still reside in the retirement home.

First appearance: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, reception man, Old Man Jenkins, Mary Jenkins, other residents, Dennis Rechid, Lonnie, Miss Cora Shell

Bubble Bass, a picky overweight fish, comes to the Krusty Krab for a Krabby Patty. Bubble Bass says SpongeBob forgot the pickles, and SpongeBob, shocked by this, loses his confidence to the point where he becomes unable to perform even simple tasks anymore, and he takes a leave of absence, with Squidward as the substitute fry cook. However, Squidward proves to be a terrible chef, burning everything he touches, including milkshakes. Mr. Krabs goes to SpongeBob's house and gives him the ingredients to a Krabby Patty. After three days of frustration, he successfully makes a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob returns to the Krusty Krab when Bubble Bass orders another Patty and he claims that there are still no pickles. But SpongeBob discovers that Bubble Bass hid the pickles (all of the ones from both of the Krabby Patties that SpongeBob served him in this episode) under his tongue, apparently just to humiliate SpongeBob. Bubble Bass runs out of the Krusty Krab.

First appearance: Bubble Bass, Krusty Krab customers

Mrs. Puff chooses SpongeBob to be hall monitor of the schoolday at boating school. After accepting his role as hall monitor, SpongeBob spends the entire school day giving an acceptance speech. Out of pity, Mrs. Puff allows SpongeBob to wear the uniform for the rest of the day, but he wrongly assumes that he is still hall monitor, and makes another wrongful assumption that all of his hall monitor duties apply to the whole of Bikini Bottom. He tries to aid others, but only ends up causing terror and chaos in town. A paperboy randomly gives newspapers that state a maniac is destroying the town, and, after a failed attempt to catch the maniac and causing more chaos, SpongeBob discovers that he is the maniac that was mentioned in that newspaper story. As the authorities arrive, Mrs. Puff also arrives and scolds SpongeBob, unwittingly taking the blame for his actions in the process, so she ends up receiving a sentence to prison for several months. While she is imprisoned, she teaches to her students through Videoconferencing.

Sandy and SpongeBob plan on going to the Moon (after he insisted and convinced her), but while Sandy is sleeping, SpongeBob and Patrick decide to sneak into the rocket to "alien-proof" it, despite Sandy's insistence that there are no such things as aliens. While inside the rocket, SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally start it up, causing Sandy to wake up and attempt to stop them. SpongeBob and Patrick fly into space, but they crash-land back into Bikini Bottom. But thinking that they're on the moon, SpongeBob forgets about Sandy and says that she's going to hate them for stealing her rocket. SpongeBob and Patrick capture many of Bikini Bottom's inhabitants, thinking it will impress Sandy, because they wrongly assume that they are "aliens" disguised as the Bikini Bottomites, and that they can't trust them. After capturing a lot of them, including Sandy herself, SpongeBob and Patrick begin to believe each other to be "aliens", and Patrick, during an attempt to capture SpongeBob (who was about to capture Patrick), accidentally captures himself with a net, and SpongeBob puts him in the rocket. SpongeBob believes himself to be finished with his mission to capture as many "aliens" as possible, as there isn't any more room in the rocket to contain any more. SpongeBob travels into space (taking all of his hostages with him) and lands on the Moon, thinking he has returned to Bikini Bottom. But the rocket seems to have run out of fuel, and SpongeBob sees the moon, but looks up and sees Earth. Everybody then says "SpongeBob, we aliens would like a word with you!" Now Spongebob is in BIG trouble!!

Mr. Krabs gives his daughter Pearl a pair of squeaky boots as a cheap birthday present, but when she refuses to take them, he gives them to SpongeBob. SpongeBob enjoys them and the squeaky sounds they make, but the sound begins to bother Mr. Krabs. He steals the boots while SpongeBob is asleep, obscuring them beneath the floorboards of the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob becomes melancholy the next day and blames himself for the boots disappearance, his depression making Mr. Krabs feel guilty yet paranoid. He starts hearing the boots' distinctive squeak through everyone's voices. In a fit of anxiety, he reveals that he hid Spongebob's boots underneath the floorboards, and disposes of them by deep-frying and eating them. In the end, he decides to go on a vacation, but the boots cause Mr. Krabs to suffer squeaky hiccups. This episode is a reference to "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.

When SpongeBob and Patrick disturb Squidward and celebrate his birthday (on the wrong day), Squidward becomes fed up and decides to move out. However, when the real estate agent he contacts tells him that numerous sales have failed because of troublesome neighbors, Squidward realizes that no one would want to live next door to SpongeBob and Patrick. So, he convinces SpongeBob that today is "Opposite Day", and that they act the opposite of what they are on that day, and SpongeBob later convinces Patrick that it's Opposite Day, and the sponge and starfish decide to do things the "Opposite Day" way. Patrick and SpongeBob wreck the pineapple to make it "clean" for Opposite Day. Wanting his own house to sell, Squidward starts fixing SpongeBob's house. Confused, SpongeBob decides that his opposite is SpongeSquid. Patrick comes to the same conclusion and both dress to look like Squidward. SpongeBob and Patrick's behavior cause the real estate agent who was originally trying to sell Squidward's house to refuse to sell such a house, and she angrily leaves, thus preventing Squidward from moving away. In his anger, Squidward chases SpongeBob and Patrick with a bulldozer to show them how much he hates them (however, as they run from Squidward, SpongeBob and Patrick interpret this as "love" on Opposite Day).

SpongeBob is convinced that Plankton is evil because he's lonely, so he befriends him. They go frolicking in jellyfish fields singing the "F.U.N." song. Karen convinces Plankton to use their new friendship as a means to get the Krabby Patty secret formula. Mr. Krabs realizes Plankton and Karen's plan and tries to convince SpongeBob, but he does not listen. SpongeBob and Plankton go to "The Reef", a local cinema, where SpongeBob discovers Plankton stole a Krabby Patty. Plankton admits his plan, and tries to escape with the Krabby Patty by running behind the film screen, but is stopped by a solid concrete wall. Mr. Krabs then takes the Krabby Patty from Plankton, and goes away.

Spongebob is working out with his weight set (stuffed animals attached to bars) when Sandy knocks on the door and tells him that he can't get fit with those. Spongebob then agrees to work out using Sandy's workout routine but his arms constantly fall off and eventually he goes back home. Then he hears an ad on TV selling "anchor arms" which are arm gloves that can be inflated to make one look buff. SpongeBob then orders a pair and heads to Goo Lagoon where he impresses everybody including Sandy. She tells SpongeBob to put those muscles to the test in the anchor toss competition but SpongeBob isn't quick enough to stop her from signing him up. But during the anchor toss, when its his turn to toss the anchor he tries too hard and the air goes into all the parts of his body until his anchor arms explodes.

During an uninvited visit to Squidward's house, SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally destroy a wax replica of Squidward (which they think is the real Squidward). Thus, they both think that they have killed Squidward, and are filled with horror as a result. They then see a figure come out of his shower. It is the real Squidward, who is wearing a turban and bathrobe and is in fact alive, but SpongeBob and Patrick think that it is his ghost. Squidward is angry at them for destroying his replica (by exclaiming "Look what you've done to me!") and the two are convinced that he really is dead, believing he will angrily haunt them. Squidward decides to take advantage of their beliefs by telling them that he will spare them if they accept all of his commands. However, despite their best efforts, SpongeBob and Patrick annoy him more than they help him. Later, he commands them to clean up his closet. SpongeBob and Patrick discover a comic book that was hidden in the room, and it states that the Flying Dutchman haunts everybody because his dead body, which was put up at a shop display, was "never put to rest". They start to believe that if Squidward himself is "put to rest" (as in burying him), everything will be fine. Squidward steps outside and sees the whole community gathered for his funeral. Spongebob is pressuring him to get in his casket. Exhausted from his scheme, Squidward takes his turban off and confirms he's alive, and tells Spongebob demand the congregation go home. Patrick thinks Squidward was faking, but SpongeBob, who still believes that Squidward's death had actually happened, reassures Patrick that Squidward "is a ghost in denial", and SpongeBob decides that Squidward "must go to the Great Beyond". SpongeBob traps Squidward inside a bubble, sending him out of the water. SpongeBob thinks he's "in the Great Beyond" and happy, but Squidward has, in fact, been sent out of the water, high into the sky, ending up suspended amidst a flock of seagulls.

SpongeBob is asked to take Pearl, to her school prom after she was dumped by her boyfriend. When they arrive, SpongeBob clumsily ruins Pearl's experience, making him break down. Pearl, sad to see SpongeBob very upset, gives him another chance. After wrecking the prom for Pearl, SpongeBob returns her home. In conclusion, the real SpongeBob shows up, and it is revealed that Pearl's chaperone was a SpongeBob-like dummy the whole time.

SpongeBob tells Squidward it is "'Employee of the month' Day", but Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam to make him work harder for no money (this is true). SpongeBob denies this and says that Mr Krabs gives it to him because he works harder. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob (who has won the employee of the month award 26 months in a row) that Squidward may win the award. SpongeBob tries to work harder so he could win, but instead flings the patties in the fan, spraying meat at Squidward (Probably because his worrying of not becoming employee of the month). Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a joke, and when SpongeBob boasts that he is better than Squidward, the latter angrily vows that he will be the new employee of the month. They both decide to wake up earlier than each other. SpongeBob tries to destroy Squidward's alarm clock so he won't wake up, but Squidward has 58 more in his closet. They set up traps on each other the next day, but give in and run to The Krusty Krab. They overwork excessively and make so many Krabby Patties that they fill and destroy the Krusty Krab. Numerous customers think that they are free, after the explosion, but SpongeBob and Squidward are more concerned with who won the employee of the month award than stopping them.

"Scaredy Pants" is a Halloween special. SpongeBob is always scared on Halloween, and everyone takes advantage of this, calling him "Scaredy Pants". SpongeBob has had enough of the teasing, so with Patrick's help, he decides to dress like the Flying Dutchman (really a plain bedsheet). SpongeBob is square, so nobody is scared and are instead laughing. Patrick shaves down SpongeBob's body so that he has a rounded top. When SpongeBob gets to the Krusty Krab's Halloween party, he successfully scares everybody by hanging on a rope controlled by Patrick until he's stung by a jellyfish, and runs around in pain, throwing SpongeBob around on the rope and revealing his identity. The real Flying Dutchman, offended by SpongeBob's portrayal of him, arrives to steal everyone's souls, but SpongeBob scares him and everyone else away by taking off his costume, showing his exposed brain and body.

First appearance: The Flying Dutchman, Jerry the Snail

SpongeBob trusts Squidward to take good care of Gary while he goes to a jellyfishing convention. However, Squidward neglects him. As SpongeBob returns, Squidward realizes that the snail has not eaten for three days and finds him sick. SpongeBob discovers Gary's illness as well and calls the vet, who gives him a syringe filled with snail plasma. Squidward accidentally injects the serum into SpongeBob's nose, causing SpongeBob to turn into a Spongesnail. The transformed SpongeBob approaches Squidward, who runs in fear from the mutant, accidentally injects himself with the serum, and thus turns into a snail himself.

Squidward wants to get away from SpongeBob and Patrick, so he gets inside of The Krusty Krab's freezer, but he unwittingly ends up getting trapped in there. 2,000 years later, a robotic descendant of SpongeBob, named SpongeTron, frees Squidward from his icy prison. SpongeTron greets him and tells him that he's in "the future", where virtually everything is the colour of chrome. Squidward expresses his desire to return to the past, so SpongeTron sends him to a time machine. Squidward goes to prehistoric times and meets the apparent ancestors of SpongeBob and Patrick. He makes them jellyfishing nets and shows them how to use them, thus (unwittingly) inventing the sport of jellyfishing. But when he plays his clarinet, he angers the two, and they chase him. He hurriedly returns to the time machine and accidentally breaks it, thus sending him to a dimensionless place. He is at first glad to be alone at last, but soon he becomes homesick, lonely, and worried. In frustration, he breaks through whatever is beneath him, landing him into the time machine. He states his desire to return to his home and meet SpongeBob and Patrick again. All of a sudden, his wish is granted; Squidward returns to his own time. Squidward tells SpongeBob and Patrick about his trips through time and space, and how glad he is to see them. SpongeBob and Patrick ask him if he wants to go jellyfishing, but he refuses. Squidward asks who invented jellyfishing, and the two reply by saying that he did. Squidward becomes very frustrated realizing that he interfered in the time and says he's going back.

When SpongeBob goes to sleep, he gains the ability of astral projection and ventures into his friends' dreams. Gary's dream is being a talking librarian. Patrick is riding a mechanical seahorse. Squidward is playing on his clarinet for a king under the name of "Wolfgang Amadeus Tentacles". Sandy was sky diving. Pearl is having a tea party. Mr. Krabs is fishing for money. Plankton is destroying Bikini Bottom. He ends up drastically changing them (in ways that turned them into bad dreams for the people who dreamed them up), and everybody wakes up. Everybody whose dreams had received negative (for them) intervention from SpongeBob is aware of what happened (except for Patrick) and thus complain to him.

SpongeBob tries to fall asleep but fails. He decides that eating a sandwich would help, but he accidentally leaves the refrigerator door open. His open refrigerator gives him a bad case of a sickness like the common cold called the suds, causing him to sneeze bubbles out of his pores. He tells Patrick about it, and Patrick advises him not to go the hospital, so instead he tries to be SpongeBob's doctor. Meanwhile, Sandy attempts to bring SpongeBob to a real doctor. When SpongeBob finally arrives at the hospital, he receives a quick, painless treatment for the suds (such as being used to wash a car) and a lollipop. Patrick pretends that he's got the suds because of the lollipop, but the doctor isn't fooled, and instead of a lollipop, Patrick gets a bad treatment as a punishment for pretending to be a doctor, such as using him to scrub a toilet and a cactus.

"Valentine's Day" is a special Valentine's Day episode. SpongeBob and Sandy set up a Valentine's Day treat for Patrick, a hot-air balloon made completely of chocolate at a Valentine's Day-themed park. Unfortunately, their plan is going through a delay, as the balloon is attacked by scallops, and SpongeBob gives Patrick a handshake in order to keep the balloon a surprise. Patrick snaps as SpongeBob didn't give him a real gift/treat and tries to tear him apart. After the park is destroyed, SpongeBob's treat for Patrick arrives, and Patrick becomes friends with SpongeBob and Sandy again. At the end of the episode, however, Patrick bites into the chocolate balloon, spreading chocolate all over the park.

Squidward is sunbathing one day and he gets out some gum. He unwraps it and he throws the paper to SpongeBob's house. SpongeBob finds it and asks Squidward if he wants the paper back. Squidward says no and he lets SpongeBob have it. But SpongeBob at first asks if he's sure several times. Squidward gets SpongeBob to keep the paper by getting him to take it and promising him no matter how much he begs, pleads or cries, he doesn't want to give the paper back to him, ever. SpongeBob agrees. Squidward is about to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" until SpongeBob says he's going to have fun with the paper. SpongeBob pretends he's "SuperSponge" with the paper. He pretends he's '"SpongeBob JunglePants". He makes Origami out of the paper with his tongue, and he pretends he's "a guy with a moustache", a pirate, and "not a pirate". Squidward decides to prove to SpongeBob that paper isn't fun. He tries to paint fruit, he tries to ride on his shell cart, and he tries to take a bath, and tries to play music. But SpongeBob plays music too on the paper. Squidward tries to take the paper back, but instead trades SpongeBob everything he owns, including his house, for the paper. Squidward gives his shirt to SpongeBob who agrees to give Squidward back the paper. However Squidward doesn't have the talent for the paper of what SpongeBob did. Patrick comes by and takes the paper, and uses it to throw his gum away.

After a delightful day at the "Glove World" amusement park (which has a glove theme), SpongeBob and Patrick take the wrong bus when they are trying to go home, and end up in the underground city of Rock Bottom. The residents of Rock Bottom speak in a different dialect, making it difficult for SpongeBob and Patrick to communicate with them. SpongeBob stands in line for the bus schedule when the next bus comes, taking Patrick home. SpongeBob then misses all of the buses for the rest of the night, and gets scared. An anglerfish helps SpongeBob return home by over-inflating his balloon. SpongeBob arrives at just a little outside of his house, only to see Patrick in a bus pass by and miss his own neighborhood, promising SpongeBob he'll return.

This episode inspired a roller coaster, dubbed the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Sandy is homesick and wishes she was back in Texas. At the treedome, Sandy pulls a lever and the treedome closes. SpongeBob attempts to cheer her up by organizing a Texas-themed surprise party at the Krusty Krab. However, when they go to get Sandy, she is leaving Bikini Bottom to go to Texas and they desperately try to get her to stay. When SpongeBob and Patrick insult Texas, they anger Sandy and she chases them. SpongeBob and Patrick take this to their advantage by leading her to the Krusty Krab in the process. She sees the awkward attempts at organizing a Texas-themed party (which involves some unwitting misinterpretations of Texan culture) which Sandy laughs at. But Sandy feels proud of them for at least trying to make her feel good, and finally feels at home with her Bikini Bottom friends because they care about her.

Wanting to build a new restaurant called "The Mega Bucket" on the beach of Goo Lagoon, Plankton teaches SpongeBob how to be aggressive, tricking him into believe that others will like it when he is being aggressive to them. After making everyone leave the beach, SpongeBob learns of Plankton's true motives. SpongeBob, out of guilt, brings everyone back by being "positively assertive" (nice). Plankton is sickened by all of this kindness, so he leaves.

While at the Fry Cook Museum, SpongeBob pulls a legendary spatula out of a bucket of grease, summoning King Neptune. He isn't pleased to find that SpongeBob is the one destined to be his eternal fry cook. After some goading by Patrick, King Neptune challenges SpongeBob to prove his ability, risking his freedom to cook. SpongeBob takes him up on the offer, but quickly loses the race to make a total of one thousand burgers. Feeling victorious, Neptune passes his burgers out to all the spectators, only to find that they taste terrible (even he is disgusted by one of his own burgers). Tasting SpongeBob's burger, King Neptune declares him the winner. But SpongeBob doesn't want to accept the king's request to leave his friends behind, so SpongeBob has King Neptune employed at The Krusty Krab and teaches him to make Krabby Patties.

special guest: John O'Hurley as King Neptune

First appearance: King Neptune

Mr. Krabs comes into the Krusty Krab warning everybody of the fishing hooks arriving into the waters surrounding Bikini Bottom. Patrick encourages SpongeBob to play on them, thinking they are not dangerous and are covered with free cheese. When SpongeBob refuses still, Patrick tells him to "Lighten up, will ya!" and when Patrick attempts to take more Cheese he is pulled up to the surface. SpongeBob cries sadly until he runs into Patrick again. Patrick says he jumped off and floated down before he reached the surface and it is fun. SpongeBob warms up to play "Hooky" with Patrick. Mr. Krabs discovers that SpongeBob has taken a break from the Krusty Krab to go play with them. When he finds SpongeBob and Patrick out on the hooks, he scolds them from doing it again. The next day, Patrick continues to play on the hooks and SpongeBob soon joins him. He finds the hook has snagged his pants and begs for Mr. Krabs' help, for which Mr. Krabs advises him to take off his pants. He finally gives in, running home embarrassed and nude. After SpongeBob runs, Patrick returns from playing, only to be returned inside a can of tuna (He humorously asked "Does somebody have a can opener?").

SpongeBob wins a conch shell that can call his favorite superheroes in emergencies. However, SpongeBob's definition of "emergency" is drastically different than Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's. Barnacle Boy takes the conch shell away, but in return, Mermaid Man allows SpongeBob to follow them on their heroic rounds for a day. But, the crime fighting duo soon become annoyed with him. At a restaurant when SpongeBob asks "What are we going to do tomorrow?", they ask SpongeBob to look on a Jukebox for their theme song, but they attempt to ditch him while SpongeBob is looking for the song . Meanwhile, they are captured by their arch-nemesis, The Dirty Bubble, but SpongeBob arrives just in time. After The Dirty Bubble tells SpongeBob that he can't free them, SpongeBob says, "Can I have your autograph?" and holds out a pencil. The Dirty Bubble pops after being pricked with the sharp pencil lead. The three heroes happily then ride home.

Special guests Ernest Borgnine, Tim Conway, and Charles Nelson Reilly
