Plot: Squidward and Plankton introduce the show, consisting of three short stories in response to requests they have received from viewers

No Bones About It
SpongeBob finds a genie who offers him three wishes. He first wish is to see what Kelly Ripa is like off-camera (she is a horrible alien who eats living men's still-beating hearts), and his second wish is for his own theme music, which plays everywhere he goes. On a city bus, an angry bus passenger grows irritated when SpongeBob's music and threatens to break every bone in his body. SpongeBob quickly wishes that he was boneless and collapses into a fleshy heap, which causes Goldberg to miss hitting SpongeBob and fall out the bus window, but leaves SpongeBob with a grotesque appearance.

Super Gang
After being exposed to toxic waste, the gang find they now have superhuman powers. Plankton's head grows even larger and he gains telekinetic abilities; Patrick is able to start fires by thought; SpongeBob can change himself into any person or object; Sandy becomes super-strong; Squidward can move at incredible speed, traveling around the world nearly instantaneously; and Pearl gains "super-amazing" ability to make her fingernails grow and shrink on command. Despite initial intentions to use their powers for good, they soon terrorize Bikini Bottom for personal gain.

Lil' SquarePants
In a parody of The Little Rascals, as well as younger versions of famous cartoon characters such as The Flinstone Kids and Muppet Babies, five-year-old SpongeBob, Squidward, Fred, John, Tom, and Mayor East revel in their "We Hate Broads Club." When young Sandy Cheeks joins their school, however, SpongeBob and Fred are love-stricken.
