Plot

SpongeBob wakes up, and realizes that it's April Fools Day. He begins the day by pranking Gary and himself at home, then goes to work. Squidward looks at the calendar, and realizes that it's April Fools Day, which he says is Spongebob's favorite holiday. Squidward calls Mr. Krabs saying he's sick. Mr. Krabs that there's an art collector in his office who wants to buy Squidward's art and name him artist of the month. Squidward immediately rushes to the Krusty Krab, only to find that it was a prank by Spongebob. Squidward resigns from his job, but Spongebob convinces him to stay, promising not to pull any further pranks on him.

However, Spongebob continues to prank everyone else in the Krusty Krab, much to Squidward's annoyance. He decides to show Spongebob what a "real" prank is, and sets a rope trap with a blob of mustard in the middle. SpongeBob goes to clean it up, and the gets his leg caught in the lasso. Squidward cuts a nearby rope, triggering a chain reaction which sends SpongeBob flying around the restaurant, hitting several objects and getting seriously hurt. Squidward laughs at Spongebob, who runs away crying. The customers are appalled by Squidward's cruel prank, and leave the restaurant, with one of them saying to him "April Fools, jerk." Squidward is overcome with guilt and decides that he has to apologize to Spongebob. He goes to Spongebob's house and attempts to apologize, but finds himself physically unable to say "I'm sorry" to him. Eventually, he is able to say it by putting a bubble over his head, so that Spongebob does not actually hear his apology. Squidward walks away, saying that his conscience is clear, but is confronted by memories of what he did, and goes back and genuinely apologizes to Spongebob. SpongeBob forgives him, but then fully opens his front door, revealing that everyone else is inside behind him, and witnessed Squidward's apology. They all say "April Fools!" to Squidward, who is flabbergasted by this. He states that he was fooling them as well before running away, laughing maniacally.

-SpongeBob wakes up, and realises that it's April Fools Day. He begins the day with pranking his snail, Gary (who cries because he doesn't know it is April Fools Day but SpongeBob calms him down by telling him), then goes to work. Squidward, annoyed by the laughing, looks at the calendar. He is shocked and surprised that it's April Fools Day, and calls Mr. Krabs saying he's sick. Mr. Krabs says that there's some guy in his office who wants to sell Squidward's art. Squidward immediately rushes to his office, only to find that it was a prank. Squidward resigns, but gets his job back after being persuaded by SpongeBob. SpongeBob is constantly doing pranks with his tongue, and his laughs annoy Squidward. So, Squidward does a prank on him. He gets a blob of mustard in the middle of a lasso. SpongeBob goes to clean it up, and the lasso closes on his legs. Squidward chops a nearby rope, which sends SpongeBob flying around getting seriously hurt. Squidward laughs hard out, while SpongeBob cries and run away. The customers aren't happy with Squidward around, so they leave, one of them yelling, "April Fools, JERK!", and a other one (who he imagines later as his mother)says "You STINK!". Squidward has to apologize, but he can't say he's sorry. He thinks of other ways to apologize to SpongeBob, but all do not work until he decides to apologize after remembering what happened. SpongeBob forgives him but shows Squidward everyone in his house, revealing that this was an April Fools Joke. Squidward laughs manically and runs all the way home, stating he was pulling off a prank as well.
