Synopsis
One morning, Patrick, Squidina, and Tinkle surprise Bunny and Cecil for their anniversary. They get them reservations to a Greek restaurant and quickly push them into the time closet. Patrick cheers that he can throw a party with his friends now that his parents are away. However, a tear from his eye lands on the closet's destination wheel and spins it from the restaurant to a space station.
Cecil and Bunny arrive in space, wearing Greek toga outfits. Bunny notices an advertisement for a Weird Alien Contest hosted by Dale Goppler, with the reward being dinner for two. She and Cecil go off to participate. Meanwhile, Squidina is setting up a tea party for her guests: SpongeBob, Pearl, and Elwood. They arrive, each bringing some items with them. However, a barbarian Patrick shows up uninvited, with his barbarian friends coming too. Squidina faints in exasperation.
Meanwhile, Cecil and Bunny look at the other aliens and come up with a plan to win. They merge their togas together, only to find aliens that already look like them. Cecil gets an idea and runs to the janitor's closet. At the contest, Dale welcomes the contestant. The first is "weirdest smile". Cecil and Bunny, wearing a plunger and bucket on their heads, try smiling together. The next contestant, Gert, smiles so wide that it stretches out of the space station. Dale declares him the winner. Bunny reassures Cecil that they will just have to get weirder in the next round.
Back at the party, Squidina is run ragged by all the medieval guests. Patrick plays spin the bottle with alternate timeline forms of himself. Just then, GrandPat shows up and shames them for throwing a party -- without him. Disco lights flare and everyone starts dancing, as Squidina screams.
The next round of the contest is cooking. Dale gives each of the contestants some humans. Cecil and Bunny are unable to cook theirs, and nervously try stuffing it with food in front of the guest. The alien judge squeezes the human, spraying its food into the hair of another woman. The woman tastes her hair and says that it is delicious, and the judge agrees. Dale declares the human the winner, but she and the others are eaten by the judge as well.
The final round of the competition is a dance-off. The first contestant is a multi-legged alien who impresses the judge. Cecil and Bunny's dancing burns off their togas, exposing their underwear. The alien audience is disgusted by their appearance, with Dale judging them the weirdest ones there. The judge awards them a trophy and flowers.
When Cecil wishes their kids were there to see it, Dale is surprised that there are more of them. He beams down the inhabitants of the house onto the stage. Bubble Bass, who had been trying to squeeze into the house, has his butt cut by the tractor beam. In space, Patrick nervously admits that he had a house party, but Cecil is not mad since they had a fun time at the contest. He takes Bubble Bass's butt and prepares to eat it, mistaking it for a ham. However, the judge swallows everyone whole. They continue to party inside of it.
