SpongeHenge is a group of giant stone statues of SpongeBob. They are built by SpongeBob in the episode of the same name.

Development

They were built because SpongeBob needed them to escape from the jellyfish that would not leave him alone. They refuse to leave him alone because a strong wind is blowing and it makes a tune when it blows through SpongeBob's holes that the jellyfish seem to love. The jellyfishes' interference prevents SpongeBob from going about his day.

SpongeBob is forced to take refuge in a cave where the wind does not blow. SpongeBob waits for the wind to stop blowing, to no avail. He eventually creates a stone carving of himself out of insanity. When SpongeBob blows into one of its holes, he discovers that it made a tune. When he tries to use it to distract the jellyfish, it only makes a shrill noise that made them angry.

SpongeBob concludes that he needed to make another stone carving of himself in a different size, but he does not know how big to make them, so he makes a bunch of them. He ends up making a bunch of large ones and puts them in a circle.

Their tune is perfect and the soothing melodies they produced are successful in distracting the jellyfish, allowing SpongeBob to finally make a hasty retreat.

Future

3,000 years later, a race of light purple aliens is seen and SpongeHenge is now a tourist attraction. The aliens do not know who built the statues or why they were built; they only know that their tune causes the annual migration of jellyfish to fall in love with the sound. SpongeBob's laugh can be heard in one of the statues.
