Roles in the main show[]
"Patnocchio"[]
After being mentioned and referenced in many episodes throughout the series, Goofy Goober finally made his first physical appearance in the show as a cameo. He is shown as a waiter at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat in this episode.
"The Goofy Newbie"[]
He appears in the beginning of the episode, handing balloons to the children at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat. Squidina then calls him to kick Patrick out since he keeps trying samples instead of actually buying ice cream. Goofy Goober takes his disguise off, revealing his true form as the bodyguard, and uses an ice cream scooper to scoop Patrick out of the ice cream parlor.
On his first day of working at the Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat, Patrick temporarily takes over Goofy Goober's job by dressing up as the peanut himself. He eventually uses the costume to steal ice cream by sucking it up with the hidden vacuum in the costume. Patrick almost gets fired because of this.
"Goofy Scoopers"[]
He is seen serving ice cream at the start of the episode, and later dances to the electronic music at the end of the episode while holding glowsticks.
"My Friend Patty"[]
When SpongeBob and Krabby Patty visit Goofy Goober's, Goofy Goober is dancing and singing to entertain children. After placing his order, SpongeBob finds Krabby Patty trying to shove itself into Goofy Goober's mouth. SpongeBob mistakenly believes that Goofy Goober is trying to eat his friend and declares that he will never come back to the restaurant, only to come back in and say "See you tomorrow!" to Goofy Goober.
Trivia[]
- According to Vincent Waller, Paramount Pictures formerly did not allow any movie-exclusive content to be used in the SpongeBob SquarePants series from 2005 to 2014. This is why Goofy Goober did not make a physical appearance in an episode until "Patnocchio." He recalled, "We couldn't even use images of Goofy Goober from the movie back then."[1]
- This makes him the second character from the movie to fully appear in the series. Perch Perkins was the first.
- He is pictured in the SpongeBob's Birthday map in Just Dance 2025 Edition.
