Plot

SpongeBob wakes up with a Viking costume on, and exclaims "Hey everybody! It's Leif Erikson Day! Hinga Dinga Durgen!". He then goes outside to play with his friends, but finds notes at the houses of Patrick, Sandy and Squidward notifying that they can't play. He decides to make a new buddy, and after several failed attempts, creates Bubble Buddy, a humanoid bubble. The two go to the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob orders everything on the menu for Bubble Buddy. However, Spongebob explains several specifications that Squidward has to adhere to in order to satisfy Bubble Buddy's alleged preferences, making him remake the patties several times. After the meal, Bubble Buddy pays in "bubble-money" (which pops), angering Squidward and Mr. Krabs.

Spongebob and Bubble Buddy then go to the beach, where they continue to cause trouble, even resulting in the death of one fish. Eventually, the townspeople become fed up with Bubble Buddy and begin to riot. Squidward steps in and blames SpongeBob and the bubble he has created, causing the mob to direct their efforts towards popping Bubble Buddy. They surround Spongebob and Bubble Buddy, brandishing sewing needles. Squidward begins to stab Bubble Buddy, but he suddenly comes to life and catches the needle before it reaches him, much to the shock of Squidward and the other crowd members. Bubble Buddy then tells Spongebob that "things are getting a little weird around here", and leaves in a bubble taxi.

+Spongebob and Bubble Buddy then go to the beach, where they continue to cause trouble, even resulting in the death of one fish. Eventually, the townspeople become fed up with Bubble Buddy and begin to riot. Squidward steps in and blames SpongeBob and the bubble he has created, causing the mob to direct their efforts towards popping Bubble Buddy. They surround Spongebob and Bubble Buddy, brandishing sewing needles.

-SpongeBob wakes up with a Viking costume on, and exclaims "Hey everybody! It's [[Leif Erikson Day]]! Hinga Dinga Durgen!". He moves his bed using an oar, and goes to Patrick's house. He sees a giant note, saying "SpongeBob, went to get more giant paper. Uuuuhh... Patrick. P.S. Happy Leif Ericsson Day! Yer Ga Hinger Dinger!". He wonders if Sandy will play with him, and there is a note on the door of her treedome. It reads "SpongeBob, went South for the winter. Love, Sandy.". SpongeBob says that the water's fine, then realizes that it's snowing in her treedome. He goes to Squidward's house, and there's another note. It says "no", answering SpongeBob's question of whether he wants to play with him. He also asks whether he's sure, and another note behind it says "yes". He decides to make a buddy, and after trying out Stick Buddy, Rock Buddy and Sink Buddy, he decides to make Bubble Buddy, a humanoid bubble. At the [[Krusty Krab]], SpongeBob asks Squidward to get everything on the menu for Bubble Buddy. However, he says specifications that Squidward has to adhere to, which are:
-*No cheese
-*No crust
-*Pickles on the left
-*Four squirts of ketchup
-*Wheat buns
-*Non-deli lettuce
-*Farm-raised tomatoes carnival style
-He pays them in bubble-money (which pops), angering Squidward and Mr. Krabs. He angers other people, and on the beach. All the townspeople are fed up with Bubble Buddy and begin to riot. But Squidward steps in and begins to blame SpongeBob and the bubble he has created. All the townspeople try to pop Bubble Buddy with pins. Before the pin reaches him, however, he catches it, and Bubble Buddy comes to life and leaves in a bubble car.
