[edit] Plot

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star are at the Bikini Bottom Jellyfish convention, and Patrick always seems to break the rule 'Look but don't touch'. SpongeBob sees Kevin C. Cucumber (The leader of the jellyspotters) and anchovies (the members of the jellyspotters). He continuously says "Hi, Kevin!" and "I'm your biggest fan!" Kevin tells SpongeBob to jump off the building, and he does. Realising that he'll do anything for him, he asks SpongeBob if he wants to join the jellyspotters, and SpongeBob is so surprised that he goes into cardiac arrest (He is revived using a defibrillator). At Jellyfish Fields, Kevin's first test for Spongebob is to catch a jellyfish, in which a jellyfish immediately flies into Spongebob's net. Kevin smacks it out and it stings him. Then he says two jellyfish instead and two jellyfish fly into Spongebob's net. Then Kevin says 20 jellyfish, and then 18 jellyfish fly into the net. Angry, Kevin kicks the net, making all the jellyfish sting him. Then many more tests are given to Spongebob, all of which Spongebob passes perfectly, and Kevin gets stung after every one. Then he tells Spongebob that his final test will be catching a Queen jellyfish by being the bait.

Four hours later, SpongeBob is very tired. Seconds later, a queen jelly fish comes above SpongeBob, who can't catch the queen jellyfish (Because she is too large and keeps trying to zap him). He finds out that the queen jellyfish is a robotic jellyfish controlled by Kevin and the anchovies. Soon, Nideria Rex, king jellyfish, comes and falls in love with the queen jellyfish. He tries to kiss her, but Kevin makes the queen jellyfish flee from the king jellyfish. Shortly after, the queen jellyfish crashes into a billboard. The king jellyfish then chases SpongeBob, Kevin, and the anchovies and traps them in a cave. SpongeBob is the only person brave enough to confront him, so he blows a pie bubble, then the king jellyfish gets it and leaves. ("Everybody likes pie.")

In the end, Kevin says that SpongeBob is still not in the club because he did not catch a queen jellyfish. The anchovies think that SpongeBob is a more worthy leader than Kevin, and give him Kevin's "hair" as a crown, but SpongeBob gives the title back.

SpongeBob goes back to the convention, finds Patrick, and tells him what happened. Patrick says that he's glad SpongeBob learned his lesson, that hero worship is unhealthy. Then he walks off dragging his own hero, Jeffrey the Jellyfish, behind him tied up in a wagon.

[edit] Trivia

  • Patrick is obsessed with touching everything in the convention.
  • Kevin C. Cucumber is loosely based on Melvin Sneedly.
  • Jeffrey the Jellyfish is a parody of Barney.
  • The other Jellyspotters (anchovies) look very similar to the Jim Henson Muppet, Beaker, and share nearly identical personalities to the Yip-yip characters on Sesame Street.
  • When Patrick says to Spongebob, "What's so great about a nerdy pickle?", Is a reference to "What's so great about a Dirty Pickle?".
  • When one of the fish say "Wha-wha-wha," it sounds a bit like Duck from Rosie and Jim.
  • This episode takes place in the middle of I Was a Teenage Gary.

[edit] Quotes

  • SpongeBob: But I was your biggest fan!
Kevin: So were they. (points down to some fans he has managed to get rid of, trapped at the bottom of the ledge at a campfire.)
Random Person: Look, everybody! Kevin's back!
  • SpongeBob: Look, Patrick, state of the art jellyfishing nets!
Patrick: Touch. (touches one of the nets)
Guard: Don't touch.
SpongeBob: Ooh, the harpoon used in Jellyfish: The Movie!
Patrick: Touch. (touches it)
Guard: (getting annoyed) Don't touch.
SpongeBob: Look! Dr. Man'O'War, the guy who got stung by Big Lenny, and lived!
Dr. Man'O'War: And now it only hurts if you touch it.
Patrick: Touch. (touches the sting)
Dr. Man'O'War: OW!
Guard: Do I have to follow you all day?
  • Patrick: SpongeBob, as a friend, I gotta say, that's really geeky. (Jeffery the Jellyfish walks by) Oh my goodness, Jeffery the Jellyfish! (runs after him) Wait, Jeffery, I have to touch you!
Guard: (running after Patrick) Hey!
  • Patrick: I'm glad you learned your lesson, SpongeBob. Hero worship is unhealthy. (pulls Jeffery the Jellyfish in a wagon) Come along, Jeffery.
