National No SpongeBob Day
National No SpongeBob Day is a holiday in Bikini Bottom which appears in the season 6 episode "Gone."
Role in episode
Everyone in Bikini Bottom, except for SpongeBob, leave for the day to enjoy time without him.
Normally, it lasts just one day, but in the episode, they stayed for a few weeks, because the inhabitants over-enjoy having a fun time without SpongeBob's presence. Soon, everyone comes home and explain to SpongeBob what was going on before they leave to celebrate National No Patrick Day.
Trivia
- On National No SpongeBob Day, they build a wooden effigy of SpongeBob, burn it, and then dance on top of the ashes. This is a reference to the Burning Man.
- The holiday was vaguely foreshadowed in "Sleepy Time" when Squidward said, "Don't we get enough of you during the day?"
