Plot

kessha zimbo is watching his favorite show, The Adventures of rusty to rescuse. He has entered a competition, and is listening eagerly to see if he's won the mystery prize. The announcer declares the winner as "SpringBoob SquirePin". However, it is actually Snorch, as the announcer did not "pronounce it correctly".

keesha has won the "conch signal", a conch whose noise is a signal which zimbo and snorch respond to. However, SpongeBob constantly sounds it in order to get them to do favors.

Annoyed, Barnacle Boy shouts at SpongeBob, who says that he just wants to spend time with them. They spend time together, with SpongeBob dressed as a superhero. In the street, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy see an old man, who was once The Atomic Flounder. SpongeBob attacks the old man but is stopped.

At a restaurant, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ask SpongeBob to find their theme song on a jukebox. They run outside and hope to escape from SpongeBob, but get trapped by The Dirty Bubble. SpongeBob pops the Dirty Bubble with a pencil tip, saving the day. Then SpongeBob, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy sing in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's Invisible Boat Mobile.

Trivia/Goofs

Mermaidman vs SpongeBob.

• This was also the only "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" where the title card has purple waves. The other five have blue waves on the title card. This episode's theme music is also different from other Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes.
• When Mermaid Man tells SpongeBob that, maybe, the conch signal is too much responsibility, the television in his house shows only a red screen, instead of black screen or a moving picture.
