[edit] Plot

Sandy invents a bizarre invention that causes SpongeBob and Squidward to become fused together. Squidward states that he has a clarinet recital tomorrow night. He begs and pleads with Sandy hoping the Texan squirrel will invent a new experiment to separate them. After the applause from the audience Squidward decides he doesn't want to be defused. Sandy separates them and Squidward gets angry. He starts pressing knobs and buttons on the machine and ends up fusing everyone together. The episode ends when Squidward is asked by a therapist, "What seems to be the problem, Mr. Tentacles?" Squidward then replies, "It all started... When I was born." At which point the camera zooms out to show that everyone from the audience is fused together in a grotesque conglamoration.

[edit] In Popular Culture

  • Squidward's hair in his fantasy is similar to Kenny G's
  • The "being fused with a teleportation device" premise is taken from The Fly.
  • A similar fusing occurred in a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode, when Tuvok and Neelix fused due to a teleporter incident into the character Tuvix. As the case with SpongeBob and Squidward, Tuvok and Neelix are quite dissimilar and could hardly be called friends.

[edit] Notes

  • When Squidward mentions he cannot be stuck to SpongeBob, Squidward's arm, on the other side of SpongeBob, is yellow instead of pale aqua.
  • When Squidward and SpongeBob try to get separate and go into their houses, Squidward controls his tentacle while SpongeBob controls his arm. However, before and after this, it was the other way around.
  • At the end, when everyone leaves the theater, Larry is one of the people who stayed. But when Squidward messes up the Molecular Separator and got combined with everyone in the room, Larry is not one of them. This can be seen when Squidward is in the therapist's office.
  • Tom Kenny considers this his favorite episode, however Patchy said Shanghaied was his favorite. But, Patchy is played by Tom.
  • If Squidward says "it all started when I was born" then this must mean that Squidward had to be born with Spongebob/Patrick.
