Patchy plot

Patchy, after ten years of wanting to meet SpongeBob, goes to Nickelodeon studios to meet his favorite idol. He waits at the gate. (hoping for SpongeBob) A security guard shows up and takes him to the casting room. Patchy orders a shrimp cocktail. Patchy sees something with celebrity phone numbers in it. His bad side (which is just Potty with horns and a cape) tells him to call, and his good side (Potty with an angel skirt) tells him not to. Patchy calls Rosario Dawson and she hangs because of his bad breath. He then decides to call Lebron James, but he hangs up because he has a game to attend to. He finally calls who he thinks is Tina Turner, but is actually Tina Fey. He decides to call Will Ferrell. He (Will Ferrell) hangs up. The last person he calls is Craig Ferguson, his old friend from pirate school who tells him that Robin Williams is in the studio. Then, Robin Williams shows up and Patchy takes him to the green room. Patchy starts the show and the guests are: The 3 Point Fowl, The Guy on the Penny, The Queen, Pink, Sir Quentin and Mr. Tinder, and guest of honor, SpongeBob SquarePants. Since he does not show up until later, Patchy goes off to find him. Later, Pink decide to rehearse and we hear some of their songs. Patchy finally gets to Bikini Atoll. He gets swallowed by a whale and he decides to go adead and show the outtakes and the rejected scenes. A film starts and Patchy tells us that SpongeBob started as a thought and that he was made into a primitive rendering. He then shows us a Patrick, Mr. Krabs and a Squidward version of the theme song. Then we see a 1920's Mickey Mouse cartoon style segment of SpongeBob going to work. Patchy gets spit out of the whale. He lands in the studio and he is knocked out. He dreams that he meets SpongeBob. He faints and the dream ends. The Guy on the Penny asks him if he is ok. Patchy says he will never meet SpongeBob and the Patchy segments end.

SpongeBob Plot

The Krusty Krab celebrates its "eleventy-seventh" anniversary, and Mr. Krabs plans to sell lots of Krabby Patties. Spongebob has all the decorations ready, but when he takes the whole group into the freezer to show them the a big Krabby Patty he made out of ice, it proves to heavy for him to pull, and he flies out, only to bounce back in, the door closing and locking behind him. So SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs accidentally get locked in the freezer before they have a chance to celebrate. While finding their way through air shafts, they look back at some memorable moments in their lives and tell each other shocking reveals, thinking that they will never get out. SpongeBob even almost reveals the secret formula in a flashback! Meanwhile, Plankton finally finds the perfect opportunity to steal the Krabby Patty formula! But, like any other episode, the formula fails to come out to the public. We keep waiting.

• It is revealed that the Chum Bucet is 50 years old.That means that the Chum Bucket was founded in 1959.
