Plot

Tired of being a nuisance to everybody, SpongeBob packs up his things and runs away. But on his trip, he literally trips and hits his head so many times, that he loses his memory. Back in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob's friends discover that SpongeBob has left, so Mr. Krabs hires Squidward to look for him for a jeweled egg for Squidward's collection.

SpongeBob, meanwhile, wanders into New Kelp City, deciding that his name is CheeseHead BrownPants. He then decides to blow bubbles, which angers a group of gangsters called the Bubble Poppin' Boys. They chase him down the streets until SpongeBob reluctantly captures them by trapping them in a bubble. He is then pictured as a hero by the citizens of New Kelp City, who elect him mayor CheeseHead BrownPants.

After Squidward, Patrick, and Sandy finally find SpongeBob in the middle of a speech, Sandy and Patrick try to convince him to come back by getting them to remember them, but he does not remember anything, and states that he is late for a meeting. He then gets into his private car, but the driver turns out to be Squidward (who is desperate to get the egg). He drives the group back to the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob refuses to be fry cook. Squidward then trips with his new egg, which lands on SpongeBob's head, causing him to remember everything very clear. As seen on TV, with Perch Perkins as the news reporter, the citizens of New Kelp City are angry at SpongeBob for leaving them, so SpongeBob decides to remain fry cook rather than go back to being mayor. Then Squidward puts his brain in the trash can. Everything is back to normal.

Trivia/Goofs

Who Bob What Pants? is based on the SpongeBob book For the Love of Bubbles.
Who Bob What Pants? is possibly a parody of a Jackie Chan movie called "Who Am I" because the main character in the movie like SpongeBob has a nasty fall and forgets who he is.
The theme song is changed from "SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song" to "Who Bob What Pants? Theme Song".
This is the third episode where SpongeBob develops amnesia or forgets how to do many things.The first was in Pickles, and the second was in Squilliam Returns.
This marks the fourth time Sandy cries and sheds tears since Ripped Pants, Texas, and Pre-Hibernation Week (three times).
In the scene with Patrick and Sandy at the Krusty Krab telling that SpongeBob is missing, in one shot Sandy's tail is missing.
This is the second SpongeBob episode to feature quotation marks in the title card.
When Perch Perkins first got the black eye, it was on his right eye, but later, when he was doing a news report, it is now on his left eye.
The Mayor of New Kelp City looks like the Mayor of Bikini Bottom.
Instead of Who Bob, What Pants? the episode is actually called What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?.
This is the second episode to feature the "Ahoy! It's a SBSP Special" opening. The first was Pest of the West. Unlike it though, it plays after the theme song, where as in pest of the West, it plays before.
If SpongeBob got complete amnesia, forgetting things, like his friends, their names, his look, and even his own name, how could he remember that he liked to blow bubbles and even how to blow them?
