Plot

At sea, an artist is drawing a sketch, when he accidentally throws his pencil into the sea, which makes him cry. The French Narrator then states the number one rule of the artist at sea: Always bring a spare pencil. SpongeBob and Patrick are playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" using bubbles, when the pencil lands in between them. SpongeBob draws a Jellyfish... and it comes alive! They realize that it's a magic pencil, and begin pranking Squidward with it. SpongeBab and Patrick draw a Bikini Dollar Bill, and put it on Squidward's Welcome Mat and when he reaches for the bill, SpongeBob and his friend pull on the fishing line and pull the dollar away! SpongeBob then draws "DoodleBob ScaredyPants", a sketch version of himself intended to fool Squidward. However, DoodleBob begins beating Squidward up, steals the magic pencil, and wreaks havoc until SpongeBob erases him (the eraser end of the pencil is capable of erasing anything, not just drawings). However, the arm remains, and in the night it steals the pencil from Spongebob and draws itself back. DoodleBob wakes up Spongebob and attempts to erase him, and during the struggle the pencil is snapped in half (DoodleBob has the eraser and SpongeBob has the point). DoodleBob sharpens his half, so he has an eraser and a point, and the two begin dueling until Spongebob accidentally throws his pencil out the window. DoodleBob corners him in front of a bookshelf, but steps on an open book, sealing his leg onto the paper. Spongebob shuts the book on him, DoodleBob is trapped forever, and the page is framed on a wall. The pencil is propelled back to the artist who grabs it and continues drawing, but when he touches his canvas, the lead snaps. Then, The French Narrator announces the second rule of the artist at sea: Always bring a pencil sharpener.

Trivia/Goofs

• This episode is number 8 on Tom Kenny's Top 20 on iTunes. His description says:

"SpongeBob creates an evil doodle of himself with a magic pencil he finds. I actually feel sorry for the 'monster' when he has to be erased. Another semi-creepy one! Producer Paul Tibbett [sic] does Frankendoodle's voice."

• The creation, DoodleBob, has become self-aware, and wishes to usurp the artist, SpongeBob, who did not understand all of DoodleBob's dimensional being. In the end, the artist has total control of his creation, as is with many stories, with SpongeBob trapping his art in a piece of paper.
• The title is a pun on both Frankenstein and doodle.
• When SpongeBob breaks the pencil, it is snapped in half, but after DoodleBob points SpongeBob with it after SpongeBob accidentally threw his half, the pencil was its regular length.
• Patrick suffers four concussions in this episode (all in the span of just over a minute), all at DoodleBob's hands.
• DoodleBob speaks in a primitive dialect, similar to the caveman talk used by SpongeGar, Patar, and Squog, in the episode ""Ugh".
