Plots

"Balloons"

SpongeBob searches for help in blowing up some balloons. After trying Patrick and Sandy, and unsuccessfully trying to get Gary to help, SpongeBob calls Squidward and uses his neighbor’s voice through the phone to blow the balloons.

"Juice Man"

At Goo Lagoon, SpongeBob throws a frisbee that hits a fish who was drinking juice, making him spill his cup. Upon noticing this, SpongeBob absorbs the juice and acts as a juice dispenser to refill the fish’s cup, attracting some fellow beachgoers.

"Traffic"

SpongeBob ends up in the middle of a traffic jam that has been going on for hours. Upon learning from Squidward that everyone hasn’t had anything to do, SpongeBob begins playing music, making everyone but Squidward dance. A disappointed Squidward begins hitting his head on the horn of his boat, unknowingly creating a rhythm in the process.

"The Outfit"

SpongeBob tells Gary to help him pick out an outfit for the Krusty Krab’s anniversary party. After rejecting a lederhosen, a leopard-print cloth and a knight’s armor, Gary decides that SpongeBob’s regular clothes are just right and SpongeBob realizes that "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!"
