Plot

It starts with Patchy opening the book, 'The legend of SpongeBob SquarePants'. The story then follows what happens in the book. SpongeBob happily works in the Krusty Krab kitchen, when Squidward walks in with a large machine made to cook Krabby Patty instantly. Mr. Krabs asks Squidward what the machine is, and Squidward answers, "A miracle, a marvel! It'll cook Krabby Patties at a fabulous pace!" Squidward wanted to trade SpongeBob for the faster and cheaper machine. Mr. Krabs denies this and says that SpongeBob is the man for the job. SpongeBob then burst through the door, challenging the Machine to a cook off. After both have finished their first batch of patties, Squidward broke the machine's lever, causing it to malfunction. SpongeBob got the upper hand, with the Patty Gadget shooting out patties by 2s and by 3s until the machine exploded. As the crowd cheered, SpongeBob fell with exhaustion and he drops his spatula, making it seem like SpongeBob had died. The next scene shows a funeral with Squidward the saddest one there. Surprisingly, SpongeBob walks up to the grave and dances on it. This is when we discover that the funeral was for Squidward's machine, not for SpongeBob. Patchy then closes the book, ending the episode.
