Characters

Synopsis

This episode starts at the Krusty Krab in the evening, where Squidward is listening to Kelpy G's smooth jazz on the radio. The radio announces that there is a concert tonight, but the tickets are sold out. Squidward notices that he has tickets, so he could go to the concert, but Patrick swallows them. They use the phones for a chance to win more tickets, but they keep on losing. SpongeBob finally figures it out and they both can go backstage to meet Kelpy G.

SpongeBob and Squidward go on a bus to go to Kelpy G's concert. When they get there at the High Tide Stadium, SpongeBob's immature behavior makes Squidward feel embarrassed, so Squidward tries to give SpongeBob the slip, by having him get lemonade in the long line, but he shows up and says there was a second lemonade stand. They both go to the concert together and Kelpy G comes down from a large clarinet and plays jazz.

"Tummy want more."

Patrick comes along and says he wanted the nachos. Squidward gets angrier, especially when Patrick stupidly eats Squidward's backstage pass, so SpongeBob compassionately gives Squidward his backstage pass, but Patrick eats his too. Patrick wants more nachos. He interrupts Kelpy G's performance, which makes him stop playing, and says what he wants to eat through the microphone and then when he sees his guards try to hurt him for his actions, he jumps off the stage and is then carried away by the fans. SpongeBob and Squidward sneak away, but the guards tell them to go back to their seats. When the two get there, they find that someone else took both seats. Squidward angrily yells at him, which makes Kelpy G stop playing again.

The guards kick them out. The duo manages to sneak backstage after Patrick went out the one way door, but Kelpy G's manager tells them that no backstage passes equal no being backstage nor seeing Kelpy G. Whey both attempt to impress Kelpy G's Mangager Squidward begins to play the clarinet, while SpongeBob plays the ukulele. Kelpy G himself shows up and is impressed with SpongeBob's ukulele playing. The fans wait for Kelpy G to come, and he does, but there is a partner with him, who happens to be SpongeBob. Squidward comes out on the stage to prove that he is better. However, the guards carry him out, as the episode ends.

Production

During a tour of Rough Draft Korea for students of Yongsan International School of Seoul in 2016, various SpongeBob color background books were discovered for many episode segments. One of the books found was possibly created for "Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom," potentially confirming that the episode was shipped to Korea during February 2011.[3]
