Plot

Mermaidman and Barnacleboy are holding up the line at the Krusty Krab, trying to decide what to order. Finally, Mermaidman orders a Krabby Patty and a Pipsqueak (child's) Patty for Barnacleboy. Barnacleboy demands an adult-sized burger, claiming that since he is very old, he should no longer be treated as a child. But when Mermaidman and the Krusty Krab patrons begin to tease him, Barnacleboy breaks his friendship with Mermaidman and joins Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble to form a villainous group known as E.V.I.L. (Every Villain is Lemons).

Mermaidman cannot defeat this new threat on his own, and he recruits SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Sandy to reform the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances (They were going to order pizza but Mermaidman falls down). They attack E.V.I.L. at a teenage gathering spot called Make out Reef. Despite numerous advantages, the incompetent Super Acquaintances defeat themselves. SpongeBob was defeated by Squidward and defeats Patrick. Mermaidman mistakes Squidward for SpongeBob and washes him up (water is the weakness of fire). Sandy defeats herself by not noticing the boat behind her coming to hit her off the cliff.

Having "defeated" the heroes, Barnacleboy demands three things of Mermaidman: That he be treated as a superhero, and not a sidekick; that he is called "Barnacle Man"; and that he will finish an adult-sized Krabby Patty. He then immediately rejoins the side of good, though when the heroes return to the Krusty Krab, Barnacleboy admits that he cannot eat an entire Krabby Patty. Everyone laughs throughout the ending (the gang, ManRay,the guy who kissed his pillow, Dirty Bubble, and the chief).
