Plot

At the Official 21st Fry Cook Games, Patrick is disappointed that he cannot enter; he's not a fry cook. When the games are about to begin, the fire on the ceremonial torch suddenly gets blown out. A 'Please Stand By' sign appears, and the torch is carefully re-lit, to the expense of the lighter, Harold, who catches on fire himself. SpongeBob is representing Mr. Krabs, while Patrick is representing Plankton (this is a big surprise, but he is only his pawn). This is because SpongeBob told Patrick that he had to be a fry cook in order to compete. So he joined the Chum Bucket. The competitions included games such as the "Deep Fry Pole Vault" (pole-vaulting over a deep-fryer) and the "Chocolate High-Dive" (Diving from a springboard to a vat of chocolate, making the diver look like ice cream). In frustration at one another, they call each other names . Finally, SpongeBob and Patrick face off with each other in the final event, "Bun Wrestling". During the event, both SpongeBob and Patrick split their pants, revealing SpongeBob to be wearing pink underpants and Patrick to be wearing yellow. This causes them to stop figing and settle their differences. The episode ends as the two walk out of the stadium holding hands while Mr. Krabs and Plankton start fighting with each other, frustrated that their players stopped competing.
