==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
SpongeBob starts the episode by waking up and singing the song "[[The Best Day Ever (song)|Best Day Ever]]," and he describes to Gary what he plans to do on this day: do his "perfect" job at the [[Krusty Krab]], practice [[karate]] with Sandy, go [[Jellyfishing (sport)|jellyfishing]] with Patrick using his new high-tech net, and at the end of the day, attend Squidward's big clarinet recital. However, SpongeBob's "Best Day Ever" does not turn out as he plans. He goes to the Krusty Krab, only to find it condemned due to a severe nematode infestation. He then tells the nematodes to leave, but they eat his pants instead. SpongeBob begins playing the "Best Day Ever" song with his nose, causing the nematodes to follow him. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to keep playing and lead them as far away as possible, and he does so until they all fall asleep (including SpongeBob).

He then tells the nematodes to leave, but they eat his pants instead. SpongeBob begins playing the "Best Day Ever" song with his nose, causing the nematodes to follow him similar to The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to keep playing and lead them as far away as possible, and he does so until they all fall asleep (including SpongeBob).

He then goes to Sandy's Treedome for karate, but Sandy is busy trying to fix a leak in the roof of her Treedome. SpongeBob thinks that this is a trap, and attacks her anyway. Sandy hits him and sends him flying up to the roof, and his glove sticks to it, sealing the leak. Afterwards, SpongeBob heads over to [[Jellyfish Fields]] to go jellyfishing with Patrick, but Patrick explains that he has broken his net. SpongeBob gives him his old net to use, but he quickly breaks it as well. Finally, SpongeBob gives Patrick his brand-new net and sits there watching as Patrick has fun jellyfishing with it.

Finally, when SpongeBob goes to Squidward's clarinet recital, Squidward tells him that he cannot play in the concert because his clarinet reed is shot. SpongeBob pulls out one of his teeth to replace the reed, and angrily demands Squidward to put on the show, frustrated that the majority of his "Best Day Ever" is ruined. When SpongeBob tries to enter the concert, the doorman will not let him in because he does not have a ticket. He tries various methods of sneaking in, but is caught every time. Eventually, the doorman realizes who SpongeBob is (Mrs. Puff said his name while hiding in her purse), and lets him in because he is on the VIP list. However, the concert ends just as SpongeBob gets into his seat, and then he finally loses it.

Reaching his breaking point, SpongeBob goes up on stage, rips the curtains and starts angrily whining to the audience about how his "Best Day Ever" was completely destroyed. However, his friends went up and reminded SpongeBob of how he helped them with their problems out of his kindness, and to make everything up to him, they hold a "very expensive" production in which SpongeBob performs his song, "Best Day Ever," to complete his ''real'' Best Day Ever with his friends by his side. After hours, SpongeBob is still singing, his friends are tired and sleepy, the audience has left the concert hall, and the janitor is sweeping the floor. As the episode ends with Squidward asking, "How long do we have to keep this up?", Mr. Krabs replies with "Just 'til his little heart gives out, Squidward. Just 'til his little heart gives out."

SpongeBob starts the episode by waking up and singing the song "Best Day Ever," and he describes to Gary what he plans to do on this day: do his "perfect" job at the Krusty Krab, practice karate with Sandy, go jellyfishing with Patrick using his new high-tech net, and at the end of the day, attend Squidward's big clarinet recital. However, SpongeBob's "Best Day Ever" does not turn out as he plans. He goes to the Krusty Krab, only to find it condemned due to a severe nematode infestation. He then tells the nematodes to leave, but they eat his pants instead. SpongeBob begins playing the "Best Day Ever" song with his nose, causing the nematodes to follow him similar to The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to keep playing and lead them as far away as possible, and he does so until they all fall asleep (including SpongeBob).
He then goes to Sandy's Treedome for karate, but Sandy is busy trying to fix a leak in the roof of her Treedome. SpongeBob thinks that this is a trap, and attacks her anyway. Sandy hits him and sends him flying up to the roof, and his glove sticks to it, sealing the leak. Afterwards, SpongeBob heads over to Jellyfish Fields to go jellyfishing with Patrick, but Patrick explains that he has broken his net. SpongeBob gives him his old net to use, but he quickly breaks it as well. Finally, SpongeBob gives Patrick his brand-new net and sits there watching as Patrick has fun jellyfishing with it.
Finally, when SpongeBob goes to Squidward's clarinet recital, Squidward tells him that he cannot play in the concert because his clarinet reed is shot. SpongeBob pulls out one of his teeth to replace the reed, and angrily demands Squidward to put on the show, frustrated that the majority of his "Best Day Ever" is ruined. When SpongeBob tries to enter the concert, the doorman will not let him in because he does not have a ticket. He tries various methods of sneaking in, but is caught every time. Eventually, the doorman realizes who SpongeBob is (Mrs. Puff said his name while hiding in her purse), and lets him in because he is on the VIP list. However, the concert ends just as SpongeBob gets into his seat, and then he finally loses it.
Reaching his breaking point, SpongeBob goes up on stage, rips the curtains and starts furiously complaining to the audience about how his "Best Day Ever" was completely ruined. However, his friends go up and remind SpongeBob of how he helped them with their problems out of his kindness, and to make everything up to him, his friends hold a "very expensive" production in which SpongeBob has his real Best Day Ever with his friends by his side (while singing “Best Day Ever again”), and the audience love the show. After hours in the concert hall, SpongeBob is still singing, but his friends are tired and sleepy; as the audience seats are shown to be empty and the janitor is sweeping the floor, Squidward asks how long they have to keep this up, and Mr. Krabs replies with "Just 'til his little heart gives out, Squidward. Just 'til his little heart gives out."
Prior to the premiere of the episode, Best Buy stores across the United States would introduce a "Best Day Ever"-themed Best Buy gift card that doubles as a DVD-ROM packed with music videos, video game previews and more. Additional designs of the cards can be found here. In addition, "Best Day Ever"-themed activities would be held at the Nickelodeon Family Suites Hotel by Holiday Inn including a themed party called the Bikini Bottom Bash. Throughout the month of November, the hotel released a "Best Day Ever" package to its guests starting at $369.File:New-dvd-spongebob-squarepants-best-buy-gift-card-w-mini-dvd-no-value.jpg[1]
To promote the special and the episode, a SpongeBob Sponge Station was made for the 2006 New York City marathon, where sponges with the words "Best Day Ever" on them, would be handed out by people, including the Nickelodeon senior vice-president of consumer products Hal Snik.[2]

The second episode in which Squidward has issues with his clarinet reed, after "Squidtastic Voyage."
This is the third and final episode of season 4 to feature the Krusty Krab without Squidward at the restaurant. The first is "Driven to Tears," and the second was "Rule of Dumb."
This makes it the first episode to put emphasis on an already released song. It would be followed by "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" putting emphasis on the already released song, "Don't Be a Jerk."
While SpongeBob is playing his nose and starts getting tired as he walks up a hill, the tone of the sound is the same as the "Best Day Ever" song.
That scene was reanimated for a McDonald'sHappy Mealcommercial in 2012, to have SpongeBob wearing his pants instead of his underwear, and he is smiling instead of looking sad.
According to the episode's production code (151–507), this episode was produced during the beginning of the fifth season's production cycle. The reason it was moved to season 4 might have been due to it being completed earlier than intended.
Similarly, the season 5 episode "Night Light" was produced for this season, but due to being completed outside of the 20 episode order, it was pushed back to the next season.
The episode's title card background is similar to that of "Pizza Delivery."
This episode came about as one of the ideas Tom Kenny and Andy Paley pitched for episodes, with this one being the one that fits SpongeBob's character best.[7]
In the Welsh dub, Luke Brookshier, Tom King, and Steven Banks are all listed as writers of this episode, even though Brookshier and King did not write this episode. Brookshier and King are also erroneously listed as storyboard directors.[8]

Mr. Krabs' legs are also transparent.
The outline of Patrick's net turns red for a split second when he breaks it.
When SpongeBob gets knocked out to the roof of the treedome, the scene is cut back to Sandy who exclaims that the leaking has stopped. However, the leaking had not completely stopped when she exclaimed that as there were still a few drips left falling down.
When SpongeBob starts walking in the middle of the road singing "The Best Day Ever," his pants are white.
Just a few seconds before SpongeBob stops playing his nose like a flute, his finger movements do not sync with the music.
During SpongeBob's daydream, when engaging in karate with Sandy in the treedome, SpongeBob is not wearing a water helmet, while Sandy is wearing her suit.
