Plot

The day starts off quite well for Squidward. He is about to practice his Clarinet when SpongeBob's alarm clock (facing out the window) knocks the clarinet inside Squidward's mouth, and SpongeBob asks Squidward if he wants to go jellyfishing. Squidward tries to reply, but because his clarinet is in his mouth, anything he says is incomprehensible, and SpongeBob thinks he said "yes". After Squidward takes his clarinet out of his mouth, Squidward is constantly bothered in his house by SpongeBob and Patrick who want to go jellyfishing with him. Squidward, in an attempt to stop SpongeBob and Patrick bothering him, tells SpongeBob that he should be at work, but SpongeBob tells him that it's a Sunday, and the Krusty Krab is closed on Sundays.

Squidward tells SpongeBob and Patrick to stay where they are, and goes out the back door of his house and goes into the Krusty Krab. He sees SpongeBob and Patrick looking for him, and goes into the kitchen. SpongeBob and Patrick are still looking for him, so he goes into the freezer. After SpongeBob and Patrick go away, Squidward is frightened to find that the handle is jammed, and that he is stuck inside the freezer. He assures himself that someone will find him.

Unfortunately, this isn't true and 2000 years later, the door falls down and a frozen Squidward is defrosted by 'SpongeTron', a descendant of SpongeBob. Squidward finds out that everything in the future (except for people) is made entirely of chrome, and all organic life forms that aren't people (such as seaweed or kelp) are simply spray-painted chrome. SpongeTron introduces Squidward to his clones; X, Y, and Z. SpongeTron informs Squidward that there are 486 Spongetrons in response to the the question asked by Squidward "Are the other letters of the alphabet involved, here?", meaning that the English alphabet has been expanded, merged with another character set, or (most likely) it was hyperbole by the animators to make the future more complex. Squidward decides that he hates the future, so SpongeTron directs him to a time machine, which is actually a small room with a control panel. Squidward uses the time machine (shortly after meeting Patron, a two-headed descendant of Patrick) to travel to the prehistoric past, ripping the entire room out of the building in the process.

He meets Primitive SpongeBob and Primitive Patrick, whom are the ancestors of SpongeBob and Patrick. Squidward tells them about jellyfishing because they keep on torturing themselves with jellyfish. They seem to be interested, but are driven crazy by Squidward's clarinet, and chase after him. He goes into the time machine, but it malfunctions, and he goes to a very strange place with abstract shapes and no characters or setting (it is possibly an alternate universe, another dimension, or a time warp, but Squidward calls it 'nowhere'). After he finds the time machine, he begs it to return to the present, which it does, but Squidward finds out that in his travels, he invented jellyfishing. The episode ends when Squidward says "I'm going back."

Trivia/Goofs

  • This is the first episode in Season 1 for Squidward to be a main character.
  • The episode, which arises from Squidward time travelling and inventing the game of jellyfishing while seeking to avoid SpongeBob and Patrick as they want him to jellyfish with them, is an example of a time paradox known as a causal loop. Thus, a person is inspired or driven by an event to time travel and, whether or not intentionally, causes the event which will facilitate their initial time travelling trip.
  • This is the first (and only) episode in which the title was spoken when the title card was shown. This is also one of the nine episodes in which the title card has an animation. The others are Pre-Hibernation Week, One Krab's Trash, Idiot Box, SpongeBob Meets the Strangler, Skill Crane, Karate Island,All that Glitters, and The Donut of Shame.
  • The date of the first airing of the episode (12/31/1999) was intended to coincide with the eve of the new millennium since the plot focuses on life in the future since at the time there were concerns regarding Y2] and the perspective of what would occur in the 21st century and 3rd millennium.
  • In the future, everything is chrome in Bikini Bottom EXCEPT for the hinges on the freezer door. They are rusted metal.
  • The episode SpongeBob B.C. (also marketed as SpongeBob Goes Prehistoric and Ugh!) must be set after this time period, because of the more advanced clothing and the fact that they have invented a language, and discovered fire. Also, two scenes of this episode can be seen on the song "When Worlds Collide".
  • The title, SB-129 was believed to be a parody of the ever popular science fiction TV series, Stargate SG-1, but is really the production code for the episode. also shows a recording session of Tom Kenny and Bill Faggerbakke recording as Primitive SpongeBob and Patrick.
  • A calendar in the future Krusty Krab is dated March 6,4017 which would really be on Monday.The episode begins on Sunday.

Also,this episode should broadcast on March 6,2017 if it's 2000 years later.Maybe the sign 2000 years later is not accurate.

  • The words "past" and "future" switch places from when Squidward first enters the time machine and when he goes in from the past. Additionally, nothing is written on the lever when Squidward "falls" into the time machine towards the end.
  • When Squidward first arrives in the "Nowhere" zone, he has his clarinet. But when he begins running frantically, the clarinet disappears. When he falls through the roof of the time machine, the clarinet is back in his hand.
  • When Squidward said "Alone" other voices came. These voices were voiced by the entire crew.
