Plot

Sandy invents a teleportation machine, which SpongeBob uses to travel directly to the Krusty Krab. Unfortunately, Squidward was at the exact same place where SpongeBob traveled to. SpongeBob and Squidward are mixed up together, with grotesque results. Squidward states that he has a clarinet recital tomorrow night. He begs and pleads with Sandy hoping that Sandy will invent a new experiment to separate them. After the applause from the audience Squidward decides he doesn't want to be defused. Sandy separates them and Squidward gets angry. He starts pressing knobs and buttons on the machine and ends up fusing everyone together. The episode ends when Squidward is asked by a therapist, "What seems to be the problem, Mr. Tentacles?" Squidward then replies, "It all started... When I was born." At which point the camera zooms out to show that everyone from the audience is fused together in a grotesque conglomeration and fell ill.

Cultural References

• Squidward's hair in his fantasy is similar to Kenny G's.
• The "being fused with a teleportation device" premise is taken from the movie, The Fly. But in this episode, the science fiction component is on fusing both bodies into one while The Fly focused on replacing body parts.

Trivia/Goofs

• This is the first episode to feature a pairing with Squidward and Sandy,
• In this episode, when SpongeBob and Squidward are mutated, Squidward uses SpongeBob's yellow arm to move and SpongeBob uses Squidward's green arm to move. But when they were seen going home Squidward opened his door with his own arm and at the end of the episode, before they go on stage, SpongeBob tells Squidward, "Now go out there and give them the best darn show they have ever seen," pointing with the yellow arm instead of the green.
• This is the first time Squidward and SpongeBob mashed up. The second one was in Slimy Dancing.
• When Squidward says, "I can't be stuck to him!" A shot shows SpongeBob with two yellow arms or Squidward with a yellow arm just like in Club SpongeBob.
• This is the only episode pair to have the titles parody the show's name.
• This is one of the episode where something bad happens just because SpongeBob is late. Others were Missing Identity and New Digs.
• At the very beginning, in Squidward's dream, his hair is like Kenny G's
• This is the few times Sandy said "What in tarnation!"
• This is the third time someone called SpongeBob "SpongeBoob". The first was in "Missing Identity" (where Patrick said it) and the second was in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (where Plankton sarcastically said "Oh, yes. Well done, SpongeBoob.").
• SpongeBob says "see you at the Krusty Krab, Squidward!" but the captions say 'Cafe Krab'.
• Larry is seen at the end of the episode before everyone is mutated into Squidward but Larry is not seen in the final scene when the others are a part of Squidward
