SpongeBob introduces Patrick and Squidward to his unique talent, the art of bubble blowing. After first turning his nose up at this plebeian pastime, Squidward accepts the challenge and attempts to surpass SpongeBob's level of expertise. Squidward's plan to humiliate SpongeBob completely "blows up" in his face.

When SpongeBob and Patrick find Squidward is recovering from a bicycling accident, SpongeBob and Patrick decide to take Squidward jellyfishing with them so that he can have his "best day ever." Good intentions notwithstanding, SpongeBob and Patrick thrust poor Squidward into the far more hazardous rigors of their favorite pastime.
