Plot
The episode starts at Squidward's house. Squidward mentions the fact that SpongeBob and Patrick are going camping (Which is 10 feet away from SpongeBob's house), and imagines how great it would be for them to "get lost and never come back." Afterwards, Squidward gets into bed and begins reading a book. he enjoys the idea of not having to deal with SpongeBob's annoying laugh, which he imitates. As if on cue, SpongeBob can be heard laughing outside. Squidward heads outside to see that SpongeBob and Patrick are camping, but only 10 feet from their houses. SpongeBob mentions how great he loves braving mother nature, while those "soft city people are sitting in bed reading books." After asking Squidward to join, Squidward immediately says no. SpongeBob then tells Squidward, "have fun inside." Squidward becomes offended and claims that he's saying it to have him join them. Squidward dissapears out of SpongeBob and Patrick's tent, in which SpongeBob says, "have fun inside" again. This finally prompts Squidward to join them, and gets all his camping gear out.
After having a failed attempt to activate his Remote Control Self-Assembling Tent, Squidward simply puts out a blanket, then asks for food. SpongeBob and Patrick have marshmellows, before acting like astronauts. Squidward decides to go to his house, which he is criticized by the other two for, "not fitting in the camping spirit." Squidward changes his mind, and has marshmellows. After being pelted by molted marshmellows that Patrick accidentally blew too hard from his stick, Squidward asks what else you do for fun. SpongeBob suggests a song, which is soon followed by The Campfire Song Song. after it ends, Squidward protests how terrible it was, and begins playing his clarinet.
SpongeBob shoots a marshmellow into Squidward's mouth through the Clarinet, and gets yelled at by Squidward for doing so. SpongeBob mentions that you shouldnt play the clarinet badly as it might attract a Sea Bear. Squidward denies that it exists, while SpongeBob and Patrick give proof by showing the magazines The Bikini Bottom Enquirer, and Fake Science Monthly. Squidward claims that it stupid, in which SpongeBob tells that "he once knew this guy, who knew this guy," to which he says, "who knew this guy," repeatedly until saying, "who knew this guy's cousin." Squidward immediately stops SpongeBob and asks for things that he shouldnt do if he wants to keep the Sea Bears away. SpongeBob and Patrick tell Squidward multiple things, inculding to avoid playing the clarinet, avoid eating cubed cheese, wear a hoop skirt, and screech like a chimp. Squidward states how much can set a Sea Bear off, and says that he has the feeling that they're in danger. SpongeBob and Patrick ask why, in which Squidward very briefly departs and returns with everything that both characters said that he shouldnt do. After doing everything that was able to set a Sea Bear off, SpongeBob and Patrick make a dirt circle to keep the Sea Bears Away.
Once Squidward completely finished, he asks why the Sea Bear hasnt appeared. SpongeBob points out that the hat which Squidward was wearing wasnt worn in a goofy fashion, which also sets a Sea Bear off. Squidward fixes it, but an unknown hand refixes it. When everything zooms out, the hand was a Sea Bear's hand. the Sea Bear lets out a roar, then goes after Squidward. Squidward is immediately beaten up repeatedly, even while drawing an Anti-Sea Bear circle. After making an oval, instead of a circle, Squidward joins the other two in the circle, to which the Sea Bear finally departs for good. After Squidward praises SpongeBob and Patrick for saving his life, they cheer in success. It is short lived however, as SpongeBob points out that the circle would never stop a Sea Rhino. Squidward asks what attracts them, to which Patrick answers, "the sound of a Sea Bear attack." Immediately afterwards, the Sea Rhino is seen. SpongeBob states that he's glad that he, Patrick, and Squidward are wearing their Anti-Sea Rhino Undergarments. SpongeBob then asks Squidward to confirm that, to which he dully answers, "yeah." the episode then ends.
Trivia & Goofs
- its quite likely that the hat in which Squidward wore is from Idiot Box. he finds the hat in a box, and says, "why haven't I worn this yet?"
- the running gag of fire burning underwater is seen.
- another early running gag is where Patrick ends up burning his food, then blows it so hard that it flies and hits Squidward.
- the Sea Bear is likely to be a spoof of the Grizzly Bear.
- Squidward says that the tent that SpongeBob and Patrick are in is 10 feet from SpongeBob's house, then says the same distance for his. however, the way that the tent was positioned means that its a possibility of Squidward's house being further than what he says.
