Plot

SpongeBob's Dream

Everybody is complaining when Mrs.Puff is telling them the homework they have to do. SpongeBob is excited because they have to write an essay about what not to do at a stoplight with a very permanent minimum of 800 words. Mrs.Puff then makes a evil smile, and tells them to work hard and not goof off. SpongeBob decides to not goof off and focus on the paper. First, he thinks that it is easy because he is writing the title and his name: What Not To Do At A Stoplight: By SpongeBob Squarepants. For three hours, SpongeBob realizes that it is more harder than he thinks. He looks outside to see that everyone else is having a carnvial, Gary is playing the horn, and Patrick is massaging Sandy(without her air suit but helmet). SpongeBob decides to be distracted by doing the Hup-Two! His nose does it, then his eyebrows do it. Then, he scoots his chair back and forth all the time. Then, Gary meows and SpongeBob decides to feed him. SpongeBob gives him a mountain of dinner, but Gary is able to finish it all in one bite. SpongeBob wants to give him Chocolate Algae Bits(dessert), and then steps on the leftover food that Gary has made a mess on. SpongeBob decides to clean the kitchen, and then the house is very shiny. However, it is now 10 p.m. and thinks that he is doing it by decorating a very noncomplicated font of the word the. SpongeBob tries to think about what the other 799 words should be. Then, he calls Patrick about sleeping, and Patrick tells him that he is only calling him to not do his essay. SpongeBob is angry, adn they end the phone call with a Marco Polo. Then, SpongeBob calls him a chatterbox. Soon, he finds some pencil shavings, and he brushes them off, but accidentally swallows one. He rushes to get some sink water and then becomes hungry for a sandwich. The mailman gives him bread, and SpongeBob talks to him about how the mailman can get his own mail and P.O. boxes. Then, the mailman tells him he has a essay to write. SpongeBob is worried and is spied on by the Realistic Fish Head on the TV saying he only has a few hours to write his essay. SpongeBob chops the TV, and then the chair becomes real. The desk is running away from him, and his ``Pants!!! escape him and run outside. The Gary-alarm clock tells him ``Time's Up SpongeBob!, and a fire is lit up, burning up the essay and puts SpongeBob's house on fire. The house becomes real too, and makes him wake off from his dream, Stop wasting time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Conclusion

SpongeBob then wakes up, and it appears to be morning, and he realizes that it is 8:55 a.m. and class will start in 5 minutes! Then, SpongeBob gets all the answers by his dream, such as feeding a snail, making a sandwich, calling a friend, talking to a mailman, karate-chopping the TV, and etc. SpongeBob then runs to Boating School, but Mrs.Puff tells him that there wasn't any homework, and he didn't have to do it. Mrs.Puff decided to make a field trip to a stoplight, and she has to go to a teacher convention. SpongeBob rips the essay, and he is ripped in half by himself as well(in real life!).

Trivia/Goofs

• The scene where SpongeBob did ``Hup-Two! on his body, nose, and eyebrows were later cut for unknown reasons.
• Mrs.Puff said she tried to call SpongeBob, but we don't see her calling SpongeBob.
• Gary is able to eat the entire food without his upper lip reaching at the top of the food. This is very impossible.
• SpongeBob uses another sponge like him to wash the dishes instead of himself.
• Gary eats his food bowl too, a reference to the comic strip Garfield.
• Sandy Cheeks didn't wear her airsuit because she was being massaged by Patrick.
• A Garfield and Friends TV series episode called Sooner Or Later is similar to this episode, (the 1900s).

Reception

Despite the very positive popularity of Season #2, Procrastination is the only episode in this season to have very low ratings since Season One. It was voted the #100 at the Best Day Ever marathon, making it a very bottom-received episode. It had to face stiff competition with other episodes, such as Tea At The Treedome(#96).
