Synopsis
Patrick begins his show by pulling a rope that drops an idea brick on his head via a machine. The idea brick gives him the idea to juggle unicycles on a unicycle, which impresses the audience. Patrick drops another idea brick on his head, which gives him the idea of ice sculpting, then another which prompts him to milk a cow. Squidina sees that the bits from the idea bricks are attracting more lawnies, and encourages Patrick to keep dropping idea bricks. However, when Patrick pulls the rope, no idea bricks come out of the machine. Patrick does a "disappearing trick" and goes offstage, telling Squidina they're out of idea bricks. Patrick tries to use other brick-shaped objects to get the same effect, but to no avail. Squidina decides to make their own idea bricks. Squidina goes on stage and has Mr. Cymbals fill in for them while they're gone. Patrick and Squidina gather the ingredients for the idea bricks, which includes sand for the brick, and a Necronomicon for the ideas. They stir it in a bowl, put it in an oven, but end up overcooking it. Squidina throws it at Patrick's head anyway, sending him flying through several walls.
Patrick gets up, now wearing a devil costume, saying he has several bad ideas. He goes and insults a large muscular Bikini Bottomite, which causes the Bikini Bottomite's grandmother to slap him with a purse. Patrick weakly says that it was indeed a bad idea while on the ground. Patrick and Squidina go back to fix the idea brick machine. Patrick repeatedly bangs his head against the machine, which causes it to produce one idea brick. It comes to life and jumps up into the machine. Patrick and Squidina follow it through the machine, which takes them to RandomLand. They see the idea brick and chase after it, and both end up going in different directions. Patrick goes into a house inhabited by bricks, and Squidina meets a sentient house, both of which are of no help.
Patrick and Squidina meet back up, then see the brick again and chase it inside a library. They see a robot bird, which turns out to be the idea bricks' mother. They figure out it consumes knowledge to produce idea bricks. Patrick and Squidina climb to its perch and attempt to plan how to capture it, but it eats all of their thoughts. When it tries to eat Patrick's thoughts, they are so incoherent that it starves and weakens. They then fly the bird out of RandomLand. They land on top of Mr. Cymbals and Patrick nudges his semi-conscious body backstage, to the disappointment of the crowd. Patrick pulls on the rope for an idea brick, which ends up pulling the idea brick machine and the robot bird on top of him. It flies away, dropping idea bricks on pedestrians, as Patrick chases it down the road.

Production notes
- Amanda Donahue
- "Boiiii this episode was a lot lol a lot of layout to figure out, made even more challenging due to it taking place in our "Random Land" location, which made" [****] "very random BUT needing to be on style with the random. A real struggle for me, but I was pretty much just working on this whole library scene which helped to have something of a central theme to how things might look."[3]
