Film is the debut episode of Offensive Art. As the show's title indicates, this is truly offensive art.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
Spongebob and Patrick go off to see a movie on a Saturday while Squidward is at Ramschester, watching a Pacifican gridiron game. On the way to the theatre, they debate about which movie they are going to go see. There are several they are interested in- Samba, Magical Nig***s, Porno 3: Midget Fun Time, and Mushroom Cloud. All four have gotten rave reviews from the public and the critics alike- the first for its intelligent charm, the second for its wonderful comedy, the third for its information, and the fourth for its realism on the subject of nuclear disasters. They’ll be there a while, though- the first runs at 171 minutes, the second at 130 minutes, the third at 124 minutes, and the fourth at 152 minutes.

They arrive at the theatre, and say they’ll decide when they see the movies on the board. While waiting in line for tickets, Spongebob looks at Porno 3’s box and sees that it is rated U- the equivalent of the MPAA’s G rating. Spongebob, not wanting to see a kids film, tells this to Patrick; he agrees wholeheartedly. They rule out Mushroom Cloud as well because they fear it may be too depressing; they’ve seen Threads, and critics say that the former makes the latter look like any Spongebob Squarepants episode.

Their human friends Alexandria (called Alex), Flávio and Percival are waiting in the same line, and catch up to them. Spongebob and Patrick agree that they could hang out together here at the movies, but that they have to figure out which movie they want to go see. The other three are also divided between Samba, a hard 16 (US R), and Magical Nig***s, a moderate 12 (US PG-13). They agree on the latter.

At the booth, Spongebob requests five University-class tickets for the latter film, but the man at the counter initiates a conversation reminiscent of The Man Who Is Alternatively Rude and Polite, only more offensive. Alex fires back after a rather offensive comment towards her with a biting sarcastic comment, and then Spongebob suggests they go see Samba. The ticket man, in his nice form, gets them five tickets for the price of $9.24. They get some concession wares, and go to sit down for three hours to see the movie.
