Plot
At work, SpongeBob daydreams of living with the jellyfish. He accidentally starts a fire, and a fireman runs in and turns on the hose. SpongeBob is in the way, thus fills up with water and falls on the fire, putting it out. Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob why he was not concentrating, and SpongeBob explains that he wishes to live in the wild. He then gives Patrick mayonnaise, old phone books, and his special jellyfishing net, "Ol' Reliable". He even takes off all his clothes.
SpongeBob tries to fit in with the jellyfish, but is continuously shocked (literally) by them. Patrick is furious at SpongeBob’s decision and tries to catch him while jellyfishing. Nothing seems to persuade SpongeBob to come home, until he is bitten by poisonous sea urchins (they appear to be the underwater equivalent of mosquitoes). He decides to come back home, and everyone welcomes him back. Then, he puts on his clothes again and everyone hugs him (Squidward is forced to). The bacteria causing the itchiness spreads, and everyone becomes itchy, except for SpongeBob.
Trivia/Goofs
- After SpongeBob leaves, Squidward and Sandy try to guess how much days before he comes back. Sandy guesses a week, but Squidward guesses 11 minutes. This is a reference to approximately how long an average episode. Squidward would also make a reference to this in the episode Club SpongeBob and SpongeBob would do the same thing in Missing Identity.
- When SpongeBob wakes up from his daydream, the grill is shown facing the opposite side of the window. This is the first time it is shown like this. Another episode like this is Your Shoe's Untied.
- When the giant snail meows, the original captions say "Wow!".
- In Nature Pants, SpongeBob throws down his Krusty Krab hat and says Ah, barnacles! and quits his job at the Krusty Krab, but in the episode Squid On Strike, SpongeBob complains that on Squidward's strike, he can't throw the hat down because the hat's his friend.
- The first episode SpongeBob eats a Krabby Patty. It also reveals SpongeBob's favorite food is a Krabby Patty.
- The episode's title refers to SquarePants and Nature.
