Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick get a Goofy Goober Backscratcher in the mail and try to share it with Squidward, who tells them to leave. They then decide to share it with Sandy. When they enter Sandy's Treedome they find her cuddled up and shuddering. She explains her Chimpanzee Beneficiaries are paying her a visit to see what progress she has made with her inventions. But Sandy doesn’t think any of her work will satisfy the chimps, and if they don’t like what she’s invented Sandy could lose her funding, forcing her to leave Bikini Bottom. She is really sad because all of her new inventions are unsuccessful. SpongeBob and Mr. Dr. Professor Patrick decide to help their distraught friend by taking over her work and start thinking new inventions that should satisfy the chimps. They think of ideas to make inventions and the goof is that Patrick is making up things that have already been invented. What SpongeBob and Mr. Dr Professor Patrick invent is The Automatic Back Scratcher, Hair Comber, Nose Picker, and Ukulele Tuner 900, finished prior to the chimp's arrival. Lord Reginald enters it and it is working well until it goes wrong and harms him physically instead of pampering him. The chimps are angry and are about to leave. Professor Percy declares closure Sandy's establishment. Dr. Marmalade's potassium levels are low, so he pulls out a banana. The machine that was supposed to crack nuts turns on and peels the banana, which amazes the chimps. The machine makes Lord Reginald happpy and he offers Sandy 20 years of funding, which she accepts. Professor Percy expects great things from Sandy and the chimps leave. Meanwhile, Patrick tries out the machine, only to have the same fate as Lord Reginald.
