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 learns that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; when worms move in to SpongeBob's holes, he has to hide his disgusting new friends from everyone else.

Squidward swallows his clarinet reed; Patrick disguises himself as a girl.

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.

Not knowing the contents of Pat's secret box drives SpongeBob crazy; Squidward lies to an old rival about having a band.
