Role in series[]
"Super Sitters"[]
When SpongeBob and Patrick enter the Super Child Daycare, the director mistakes them for babysitters he hired, and is very relieved that they have come. He gives them the schedule, tells them where the snacks are, and gives them keys to the panic room. He runs out of the building, claiming to return in a few hours.
When the director returns, he notices the chaos that SpongeBob and Patrick are causing from outside the building. He blows a whistle to get the babies to start behaving. The director gets angry at SpongeBob and Patrick for teaching the kids not to get along, and kicks them out of the building.
"Home ECCH!"[]
He is a teacher at the Bikini Bottom School. While most of his students are successful, Squidina is unable to do any of her assignments properly, with most of her projects turning out dangerous. Squidina convinces him to try her "pickle pie," and after one taste, he is sent to the hospital.
Squidina does her show from home and the teacher watches it through a mirror. However, her disturbing projects lead him to have a heart attack and faint. When Squidina finally succeeds in making a delicious pickle pie, Patrick takes her back to her teacher. However, he is on the verge of death, and Squidina is devastated. She uses the techniques she learned from her projects to successfully perform surgery and bring him back to life.
Although nervous, the teacher tastes Squidina's pickle pie, but finds it delicious. He and Squidina share it outside the hospital, and he agrees to give her an A+. However, he realizes that the recipe contains gluten, and puffs up from an allergic reaction.
