Plot

A TV delivery truck comes and delivers a box with a TV inside it to SpongeBob and Patrick. However, they throw the TV away and jump in the box. Squidward comes and asks what they are doing. SpongeBob and Patrick say that they are using their imagination and ask Squidward to play with them. Squidward refuses and gets the TV from the trash can. Later, Squidward starts hearing realistic sounds from the box so he goes to it and checks if there is a secret button or radio. He finds none and keeps on thinking about the box. Later, he decides to watch TV to stop from thinking about the box but when he turns the TV on, the only shows are about boxes. Squidward keeps hearing the sounds so he decides to steal the box while spongeBob and Patrick are sleeping. Squidward goes in the box and imagines that he is a race car driver. To his surprise, it works. However, outside, it is revealed that a garbage truck just picked up the box and sent it to the dump. The next morning, SpongeBob and Patrick find out that the box is missing. Patrick says that he hopes that Squidward is not too down in the dumps that day. After that, the episode ends.

Trivia

  • Things Squidward watched on TV:
    • A show about how a box is assembled
    • An old man is describing a box in the form of geometry
    • A man and his wife/girlfriend exchanging gifts (which are actually boxes)
    • A boxing match between 2 actual boxes
  • The show that shows boxes being made is similar to the show, How It's Made.
  • In this episode, Squidward pulls a sombrero out of a hat box and says "Why haven't I worn this?" He later then wears that sombrero in The Camping Episode.
  • When Squidward thought that the police were there to arrest him, it was actually sound effects about a guy named Johnny fleeing from the police saying, "You'll never get me alive coppers!". This is a spoof of video games about criminals.
  • Patrick did not hear any sound effects, but he knows about the second avalanche.
  • Squidward says "I hope the box has air holes." However, the residents of Bikini Bottom require water for survival.
  • In this episode, after SpongeBob told Squidward he can have the T.V., Squidward's mouth did not move when he said, "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!"
  • They seemed to have gotten smaller when they got inside the box.
