[edit] Plot
The sun (a "male" living thing in the show) wakes up, tired. He grabs the Star family's house and pours coffee onto a mug. As he drinks the coffee, he becomes energized and starts shining as the day begins. Squidina runs inside with Ouchie and puts him in the reserved area. She then finds a "leak" coming from the ceiling, only to realize that Patrick is asleep and drooling in his bed. She attempts to wake him up with a broom, and this makes him fall off his bed while still sleeping. Squidina proceeds to pick him up, put makeup on him, and announces that it is time for The Patrick Show! She splashes Patrick with a bucket of water, waking him up. Patrick tells the audience that he will teach everyone about some brief miniature golf tips. After uttering random numbers and striking miscellaneous objects with a plunger, Patrick says he thinks it would be better with an actual golf club, so he puts Squidina onstage to perform, but she tells Patrick that she has "stage-4 stage fright." After looking at the audience with embarrassment, she melts.
Patrick runs up the stairs until he sees GrandPat in the way. They both greet each other, and tell each other which direction on the staircase they want to go. They struggle to get past each other, so GrandPat says "age before ugly." Patrick responds with "Pearls before swine." GrandPat replies "I before thee." Patrick apologizes because Cecil always told him to never back down from a "stair-off," but GrandPat clarifies that he gave Patrick that advice, and kicks the thought bubble of Cecil down the stairs. Patrick informs his grandfather that he does not care who said it first; he wants to get his golf club. GrandPat says that he hates the upstairs bathroom. They both turn angry at each other, with Patrick's eyes having teeth, and GrandPat's mouth moving like a chainsaw. After trying to get past each other multiple times, Patrick takes out a loaf of bread out of his belly button and says "en garde," and GrandPat takes out a loaf of bread from his cane and says that he will en garde Patrick. After hitting each other once with their loaves of bread, they challenge each other to a stair-off, and each turn their heads into mules and start braying.
Patrick and GrandPat are revealed to have featured in a TV show that a scientist named Dr. Plankenstein turns off, as Pat-Gor was trying to watch it. Plankenstein wants to watch wrestling, and he and Pat-Gor fight over who gets to watch their show. Eventually, Plankenstein's monster, SpongeMonster, arrives to fix this. Plankenstein puts a brain of genius into SpongeMonster, and after SpongeMonster's brain pops out, he breaks the TV in half so both can watch their shows. It electrifies both Dr. Plankenstein and Pat-Gor, and the TV fixes itself, so SpongeMonster turns The Patrick Show! back on.
Back on the show, GrandPat and Patrick are still going at it, and get their relatives against each other. GrandPat and Patrick then battle with mops, and Bunny comes to tell important news, but goes around the other way in the house to tell them. She tells them that she made jelly sandwiches for the family, and suddenly Perch Perkins makes a news report about the battle between a bunch of Bikini Bottom locals on both sides. The clash commences, with the news helicopter being taken down in the process. Overwhelmed, GrandPat floods the house to get the locals out of the house. However, Patrick and GrandPat are still on the stairs, having their problems, and thus, they have a joust. They close in on each other, and it turns out that Patrick gets something in his tooth. When he uses a toothpick, it reveals his golf club.
With his golf club finally in his hands, Patrick heads downstairs to continue his show, but breaks the support of the stairs in the process, and they collapse with GrandPat still there. After recovering from the fall, GrandPat sees that he can use the downstairs bathroom, but Cecil goes in before GrandPat can use it, and he is chased afterwards by the monster toilet, the Stars' pet Tinkle, that was in the upstairs bathroom. Patrick is ready to continue his show, but before he can hit the golf ball, Squidina cuts him off saying that the episode is over, irritating him. Squidina then bids farewell to the audience, as Patrick ends up hitting the golf ball anyway, and it smashes into the camera, cracks and shatters the screen. Patrick says "Oops" as the ball falls.
