Episodes

Friend or Foe

Friend or Foe Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode

Patchy the Pirate and Potty the Parrot get jobs at a restaurant called "The Poop Deck" to be like SpongeBob. Patchy has ideas which Potty disagrees so Patchy takes the day off and goes home crying. The next day Potty comes to Patchy in manager clothes. Patchy thinks Potty came to apologize which is also true but she also came to tell Patchy to get back to work. Patchy is about to say that Potty can't tell him what to do, but is upset when he sees the boss of the Restaurant "Mr. Pirateson" gave Potty the job of Assistant Manager. After another argument Patchy starts to throw Patties at Potty, but one of them hits Mr. Pirateson. After the episode Patchy claims he took time off but Potty tells the viewers that both of them got fired. Patchy is replaced by a Gorilla much to his dismay.

It's Mr. Krab's, birthday, and Plankton makes him a birthday cake and tries to steal the formula by hiding inside it but fails. Then Mr. Krabs says that he was friends with Plankton and tells the story of their friendship, which is not entirely true. Plankton then tells his side of the story, which is false as well. The formula is seen and revealed in this episode when Karen gives the real story, saying that Plankton accidentally knocked several jars into their burger recipe, and that is the Krabby Patty formula. It is also revealed that Plankton was born on the same day as Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs blames Plankton by telling a false story of Plankton ruining their friendship but Plankton blames Krabs by telling his version of the story. Karen comes in time to say that both stories are false and the real story was about. Plankton and Krabs making their own burger and ask 'Old Man Jenkins' to try it but it kills him and Plankton and Krabs blame each other for Jenkins' death and their friendship is over. Then Plankton makes Chum Burgers for the school but Krabs however discovered the perfect recipe and his "Krabby Patties" are very delicious and the kids like Krabs' burgers better and Plankton vows that he will try to steal the recipe one day.

• Note: There are two slight continuity errors in this episode. The first is the reaction when Mr. Krabs says that he and Plankton were best friends. They all gasp, particularly SpongeBob. However, in "Krabs vs. Plankton", Plankton says they used to be friends, but SpongeBob is not shocked at all. The second error is more noticeable, when Karen says that Plankton made the recipe for the Krabby Patty, but this may not be true because in "Enemy In-Law", Mr. Krabs says the Krabby Patty formula is an old family recipe. Also, the recipe is revealed if the viewers look closely but it is the poisonous mixture and pots and pans with bottles. Additionally, in "Enemy In-Law", Plankton attempts to marry Krabs' mother, but since Krabs and Plankton were born on the same day, there is a chance that Krabs' new father could have been younger than him! Also, in "Grandpappy the Pirate", Mr. Krabs says he was born with his father on a pirate ship, though in this episode he says he was born with Plankton.

He does, but that makes Squidward more handsome. Squidward is hit by a falling shoe, so hits a pole and turns back to normal, which dismays Mr. Krabs, who liked Squidward's in his handsome forms because it attracted customers. Seeing that, Mr. Krabs immediately starts trying to break Squidward's face to bring everyone back.

Sponge Henge Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode

A harsh and extremely powerful windstorm occurs in Bikini Bottom, causing many problems. SpongeBob goes outside, and the wind starts to make music through his pores. The music attracts a little jellyfish. SpongeBob starts to like his little friend until more jellyfish start to come. SpongeBob runs away from them and goes into a cave. SpongeBob stays in the cave for a long time, so long he grows hair. SpongeBob builds a stone statue of himself and sends it outside the cave to make music to get the jellyfish to go away from him. SpongeBob finds it is not enough, so he goes into the cave again and makes more, larger ones, and send them outside. The jellyfish like it, and are distracted from SpongeBob, so he gets away. He goes to the Krusty Krabs, only to find that the wind has caused the restaurant to be engulfed in sand. He says, "How long have I been gone?!", and yells, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!". 3,000 years later, a race of strange cyborgs (presumably of alien origin) have somehow appeared in Bikini Bottom. The giant SpongeBob statues have become a major tourist attraction, and the cyborgs wonder who made them.

Banned in Bikini Bottom Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode

An elderly lawmaker named "Mrs. Gristlepuss" comes into the Krusty Krab and bans Krabby Patties for being fun. Mr. Krabs tries to sell them secretly at SpongeBob's house, but is apparently unaware of how awful he is at keeping it a secret, so Plankton soon discovers this, and calls the police. However, Mrs. Gristlepuss accidentally has a Krabby Patty get into her mouth. But when she tastes it, she enjoys it and decides to lift the ban on Krabby Patties.

Stanley S. SquarePants Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode

SpongeBob's cousin, Stanley, comes to visit. However, Stanley messes up almost every single thing he touches (or in the case of the fridge, empties). This bothers SpongeBob. Stanley gets a job at the Krusty Krab— but whenever he messes things up, SpongeBob willingly blames himself for Stanley's messes. But SpongeBob eventually can't take this any more, and SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs about how he was constantly covering up for Stanley's mishaps. But Mr. Krabs has an idea— he tells Stanley to get a job at the Chum Bucket, assuming he will mess things up there. Plankton hires Stanley, thinking that his fry cook skills would be as good as SpongeBob's, as Stanley is related to him by blood. But Stanley accidentally destroys the Chum Bucket.

• Note: This is the 100th episode of SpongeBob SquarePants
