Plot

It starts with Patchy opening the book, 'The Legend of SpongeBob SquarePants'. The story then follows what happens in the book. SpongeBob happily works in the Krusty Krab kitchen, when Squidward walks in with a large machine made to cook Krabby Patty instantly. Mr. Krabs asks Squidward what the machine is, and Squidward answers, "A miracle, a marvel! It'll cook Krabby Patties at a fabulous pace!" Squidward wanted to trade SpongeBob for the faster and cheaper machine. Mr. Krabs is about to fire Spongebob, but SpongeBob then burst through the door, challenging the Machine to a cook off. After both have finished their first batch of patties, Squidward broke the machine's lever, causing it to malfunction. SpongeBob got the upper hand, with the Patty Gadget shooting out patties by 2s and by 3s until the machine exploded. As the crowd cheered, SpongeBob fell with exhaustion and he drops his spatula, making it seem like SpongeBob had died. The next scene shows a funeral with Squidward the saddest one there. Surprisingly, SpongeBob walks up to the grave and dances on it. This is when we discover that the funeral was for Squidward's machine, not for SpongeBob. Patchy then closes the book, ending the episode.

Trivia

This is the first time Squidward invents something and the first time Squidward is the main antagonist and villain. (Although he did convince SpongeBob and Patrick that they were enimes once.)
This is the first episode to rhyme. Patchy did the most rhyming work.
This episode is half as long as a normal one, so that 3 episodes could play.
This episode is one of the only episodes to feature Patchy the Pirate's voice without him being on the screen.
The rhyming is very similar to that of Dr. Seuss.
The battle is somewhat a spoof on Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974).
Squidward has acne.
The explosion used in this episode was used earlier at the end of Dying for Pie.
This is King Neptune's season five debut.
This episode marks another time SpongeBob competes for whoever makes the most Krabby Patties.
When SpongeBob says "I won't be defeated!", Closed Captioning says "I won't be deated!".
This short episode is similar to the tall tale of John Henry, a story about a man versus a machine.
