Episodes

Help Wanted

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode "Help Wanted" is the opening SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season one, usually referred to as the SpongeBob SquarePants pilot episode. The episode starts out with a French narrator, who introduces Bikini Bottom and SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob wakes up to go apply for a job. SpongeBob wants a job at the Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty, and also "the finest eating establishment ever established for eating," according to SpongeBob. He wants the job very badly, but determines that he is not ready for it yet. His good friend (a starfish named Patrick) tells SpongeBob that he was meant for this job because apparently his first words were "May I take your order"? and he made a spatula out of toothpicks in a workshop and he's a yellow cube with holes and he's ready. He convinces the sponge to apply. Squidward, who is cleaning a window at the Krusty Krab, knows SpongeBob and is upset to see him come for a job. Squidward and Mr. Krabs, the owner of the restaurant, decide that he must prove himself first. He must fetch a "hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments, and a turbo drive." Mr. Krabs and Squidward laugh when he leaves, because Mr. Krabs just made that up off the top of his head (or so he thinks). While SpongeBob finds the spatula at the local grocery store, the Krusty Krab has to contend with a large group of hundreds of hungry anchovies, who have no manners and make the restaurant a madhouse, and to compound the problem, without a fry cook. SpongeBob returns with the spatula and triumphantly feeds every last anchovy. He gets the job and Mr. Krabs starts counting his sack full of money. Patrick comes in, and SpongeBob uses the same crazy routine to feed him.

Reef Blower

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode "Reef Blower" is a silent SpongeBob SquarePants episode short from season one. It is part two of the pilot episode. In this silent short, Squidward walks outside to look at his beautiful, spotless "lawn." He sees a shell on his lawn. He believes that it ruins the appearance of his lawn, so he pretends to accidentally kick it onto SpongeBob's lawn. Suddenly, SpongeBob pops out of his window and sees the shell, and also wants a lawn with a nice look to it, so he gets his "reef blower" (an underwater version of a leaf blower) out of his garage. He turns it on, much to the annoyance of Squidward, who is trying to relax on a hammock. Squidward plugs his ears and SpongeBob struggles to blow the shell away. Frustrated, he mistakenly blows a large column of sand onto Squidward. SpongeBob blows the sand off of Squidward, and blows some off of a leaf too. The sand which blows off of the leaf gets into and irritates Squidward's eyes. He blows the sand out of his eyes. SpongeBob peers over at his sidewalk and sees a pile. He puts the blower into "reverse", then sucks the pile of sand into the reef blower, which malfunctions. The sand and a few mechanical gears blow out. SpongeBob unzips the reef blower and puts the whole mess in by himself. When the reef blower refuses to start, SpongeBob pulls the cord back so far, that he gets yanked back fast through an intersection and it finally starts. However, it sucks in all of the water in the ocean. Squidward nearly passes out. The reef blower then explodes, leaving piles of sand all over Squidward's property, and many other neighbors' property too, while SpongeBob's lawn is perfectly clean. Satisfied, SpongeBob goes back inside, while the shell lands on Squidward's nose.

Tea at the Treedome

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode

"Tea at the Treedome" is the third part of the pilot episode and the 1st appearance o Sandy Cheeks. In it, SpongeBob is invited to Sandy's underwater glass treedome for the first time ever after he meets Sandy karate chopping a huge clam. When SpongeBob knew that the squirrel was in trouble he did karate too. When SpongeBob goes to his best friend, Patrick to ask him what wearing "air" meant (Sandy wore a helmet full of air), Patrick concludes that it's fancy talk ("putting on airs"). He tells him to hold his pinky up all the time, so he can look "fancy", too. SpongeBob goes to Sandy's Treedome, but unfortunately, her home is filled with air. Once inside, SpongeBob dries up (resembling an old person), but to be polite, doesn't mention his condition. Patrick, who was watching SpongeBob from outside, comes in to help SpongeBob be fancy, but ends up drying up himself. Eventually the problem is resolved when Sandy gives them helmets filled with water.

An errant comment from Patrick reveals Sandy's frustration with anyone who insults Texas and they use it to get her to chase them, but find they have made her more furious than anticipated. Spongebob manages to make it back to the Krusty Krab as Sandy catches him and their Texas party, including square dancing (a fish dancing with a box), Bar-B-Que (a prickly Q-shaped item held by Squidward), and Pecan Pie (or "Peas in a can Pie") convince that Sandy that she really is home: her new home of Bikini Bottom.

Fools in April

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode SpongeBob plays harmless April Fool's jokes on everyone ("You asked for a couple of ice cubes, and I only put in one!"), but Squidward, fed up by the jokes, plays one very mean joke on SpongeBob, involving painful slaps into the walls, ceiling, etc. SpongeBob has a pitiful, humiliated look on his face, and everyone feels sorry for him. After SpongeBob runs away crying, the crowd angrily scrutinizes the cruel joke played on the sponge. Squidward tries to brush it off, but is haunted by the voice that shouted, "You stink," which was spouted out by his mother. Squidward realizes he must set things right to ease his conscience. Squidward tries to apologize to SpongeBob, but he is too stubborn and reluctant to bring himself to apologize, since people would see that he has a soft side. In fact, the first time he tries, he gets out only "Sssssssss..." and his head explodes. Finally, after much effort, he manages to utter an "I'm sorry," but is shocked to discover that many people heard him say it, which turns out to be a more humiliating April Fool's joke than his own that he played on SpongeBob.

Neptune's Spatula

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode While at the Fry Cook Museum, SpongeBob pulls a legendary spatula out of a bucket of grease. The legend states "whoever pulls the spatula out will be Neptune's servant," however Neptune isn't pleased to find that the diminutive Spongebob is the one who accomplished the feat and refuses to take him on. After some goading by Patrick, Neptune agrees to accept Spongebob, but only if Spongebob can best him in a burger cooking contest, but with a price: if Spongebob loses, he must give up fry cooking forever. Spongebob takes him up on the offer, but quickly loses the race to make one thousand burgers. Neptune, cocky after his victory, gives his burgers to all the spectators only to find that they taste terrible. He learns a lesson in "quality over quantity," when he tastes the one burger that Spongebob was able to make before the contest finished and finds that it is incredibly delicious. He allows Spongebob to come back to his home of Atlantis to cook for him, but Spongebob is reluctant to leave his friends and home of Bikini Bottom. To make all parties happy, Spongebob agrees to teach King Neptune how to properly cook a patty.

Hooky

Template:Infobox SpongeBob episode Mr. Krabs comes in the Krusty Krab one day warning everybody about fishing hooks and how they take you away. Patrick comes one day and says that the carnival is in town. The "carnival" is actually a bunch of fishing hooks. Patrick thinks they're not dangerous because apparently they are covered with free cheese. Spongebob is unsure, remembering Mr. Krabs' warning, but soon joins Patrick in riding the hooks up (jumping off before you go too high) after seeing how much fun he is having. Mr. Krabs finds out that SpongeBob took a break from the Krusty Krab when Squidward was in a feeding frenzy. Mr. Krabs catches the pair and makes them promise never to play on the hooks again by telling them stories about being caught and turned into tuna. The next day, Patrick continues to play on the hooks, saying he had his fingers crossed from Mr. Krabs's promise, but Spongebob refuses until temptation gets the better of him and he goes for one more ride. Much to his horror, he finds the hook has snagged his pants and adding to the embarrassment, when he goes to get help from Mr. Krabs, he finds Pearl and all her friends there as well. After a humiliating experience of ignoring Mr. Krabs, having to take off his pants in front of everyone in order to save himself, and running home naked, we learn that this was actually a scheme cooked up by Mr. Krabs in order to make sure Spongebob learns his lesson about avoiding the hooks. On a side note, after Spongebob heads home, we learn that Patrick was not able to jump off one of his earlier hook rides in time when he comes home trapped in a can of tuna.
