''"Order UP! Did someone order a perfectly executed helping of hilarity? Cause that's what we're serving with this heap of {{SBSP}} episodes, 50 in all, for over 10 HOURS of the episodes that put the square guy on the map! It's a trip down porifera lane when we see {{Link|SpongeBob}} get his dream job, meet [[Sandy Cheeks]] in her airy abode, introduce the world to the fine arts of bubble blowing (with lessons for a mere 25¢) and jellyfishing, deliver the first [[Krusty Krab Pizza]] (but no drink), meet his primetime heroes and lure them (okay, force them) out of retirement, fly a rocket into his front yard, get frightened by a floating shopping list, take off to live amongst the jellyfish, perform at the [[Bubble Bowl]], become part of the [[Flying Dutchman]]'s inept crew, visit the [[Mermalair]], man the register and the grill at the [[Krusty Krab]] and so much more. Why, you can relive the moment when SpongeBob turned a scrap of paper into a goldmine of entertainment, got stranded in [[Rock Bottom (city)|Rock Bottom]], relearned how to tie his shoes (thanks {{Link|Gary}}!), blew up a new pal, tried out for the Jelly Spotters, performed standup at the Krusty Krab, tried to sneak a peek at the most secrety secret in all of secretdom, tried to tame a wild seahorse, gained entry into the toughest hangout in [[Bikini Bottom]], raised a scallop with {{Link|Patrick}}, helped turn the Krusty Krab into a four-star restaurant, got {{Link|Squidward}} to take his first bite of a [[Krabby Patty]], appeared in a television commercial, bought a swell new hat and got paint on {{Link|Mr. Krabs}}' first dollar. There's all this and oceans more in this one episode-packed collection. So grab a pal, or not, and tune in to hours of deep-sea hilarity with SpongeBob SquarePants!"''
