Plot

The Krusty Krab has hit a rut in business, and Mr. Krabs decides that the restaurant needs a new gimmick to attract more customers. He, Squidward, and SpongeBob eventually decide upon a talent show. SpongeBob begs Squidward to let him perform on stage, and even shows him his various talents, but Squidward only gives him the job of cleaning up the set afterwards (SpongeBob believes this to be a good start to his acting career). Squidward, however, would headline the program.

On the show's night, most of the acts are complete failures. Squidward's act—an interpretive dance number—throws the audience into complete riot. As he storms off the stage, SpongeBob appears on stage to clean the set. The audience cheers heavily for this new "act", making the talent show a success and inspiring Mr. Krabs to arrange for another show, the following week.

Trivia/Goofs

  • The talent show is originally slated to be an annual event, but by the episode's end Mr. Krabs begins planning for the next week's show. It is possible that the talent show became so popular because of SpongeBob, that Mr. Krabs decided to change the show into a weekly event.
  • This is the first Krusty Krab episode where SpongeBob makes no Krabby Patty or cooking Krabby Patties.
  • The episode is a reference to Static Shock.
  • The only acts that weren't failures were Spongebob's and Gary's.
  • Squidward changes culture to talent to talent to culture: how confusing!
