[edit] Plot

At the Official 21st Fry Cook games, SpongeBob tells Patrick that he cannot enter because he's not a fry cook. The games are about to begin, when the fire on the torch suddenly gets blown out. A 'Please stand by' sign appears, and the torch is carefully re-lit, to the expense of the lighter, who catches on fire himself. SpongeBob is representing Mr. Krabs, while Patrick is representing Plankton (This is a big surprise, but he is only his pawn). This is because SpongeBob told Patrick that he had to be a fry cook in order to compete. So he joined the Chum Bucket. The competitions included the Deep Fry Pole Vault (pole-vaulting over a deep-fryer), and Chocolate High-dive (Diving from a springboard to a vat of chocolate, looking like ice cream). In frustration at one another, they call each other names, Spongebob's "insult" is calling Patrick "Pink!" and Patrick's is to call Spongebob "Yellow!" Finally, SpongeBob and Patrick face off with each other in the final event, Bun Wrestling. During the event, both Spongebob and Patrick split their pants, revealing Spongebob to be wearing pink underpants and Patrick to be wearing yellow. This causes them to stop fighting and walk out of the stadium holding hands while Mr. Krabs and Plankton get mad. Nobody wins.
