Squidward's about to watch House Fancy, a program showcasing fancy homes, and as host Nicholas Whithers (voiced by Food Network host Alton Brown)

House-fancy-1 — Nicholas Whithers, host of House Fancy

introduces the episode's first guest, Squidward gets a phone call from Squilliam revealing that the guest is none other than himself. Squidward watches in anger as Squilliam shows off the various features of his house, which is several stories high, and includes an elevator with a built-in hot tub, decorated toilets with gold toilet paper holders, a garden on the rooftop, and a 160 foot sculpture of his unibrow made of gilded doorknobs. In a fit of blind jealousy, Squidward calls Nicholas and tells him that he has a fancier home than Squilliam. Squidward realizes what he has just done, and desperately tries to make his house

fancier, but it is no success. SpongeBob appears and offers to help him, with disastrous results (one of them involved Squidward's toenail being ripped out from moving a sofa). Soon, Squidward hears the doorbell ring, and tells SpongeBob to clean up the mess with a vacuum. However, he ends up sucking up everything in the house, causing the vacuum to explode and destroying the house. However, when Nicholas Whithers sees Squidward's destroyed house, he views it as a work of abstract art, and proclaims that his house is better than Squilliam's. The end leads to Squilliam crying because he has lost, and Squidward happy with the help of SpongeBob.

Trivia/Goofs

This episode marks the third appearances of Squilliam since Band Geeks and Squilliam Returns.
Twelfth episode where Squidward's rear end is noticeable.
Squilliam displays his "rooftop garden", but his house is initially shown to have a tower instead of a flat roof.
This is the second time Squidward wins against Squilliam at the end of the episode. The first was in "Band Geeks" (Squlliam's debut).
After Squidward's house is destroyed by the vacuum, for a split second you can see nothing at the house, not even SpongeBob and Squidward before the house fancy logo comes up. However, when Nicholas Withers and Squilliam get to Squidward's house, everything is back at the house again.
Squidward says there's a stain on the rug, but the stain is on the floor itself.
Squidward was given 2 hours to prepare for the TV show, and thus could have easily cleaned the stain on the floor.
Squilliam cries after Nick claims Squidward's house is far more fancier than Squilliam's house, and the sound of his crying sounds like Waluigi's from the Mario series.

House Fancy Squidward Toenail — The Gruesome Toenail Scene

This episode is notorious among SpongeBob fans for featuring a scene that involved SpongeBob and Squidward moving a sofa, only for SpongeBob to accidentally rip off one of Squidward's toenails. This caused considerable controversy from fans as the scene was pretty gruesome for a cartoon made for children. Many fans also consider this one of the worst moments in the show. This is often referred to as the dreaded "Toenail Scene". It is still unknown why they still show it as it scared some kids.
The original ending was Nicholas Withers hating Squidward's house and Squidward punching Squilliam in anger.
In the ending scene where Nicholas Whithers visits Squidward's house, SpongeBob's house is missing.
In "To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants", Squidward is seen reading a House Fancy magazine.
This episode, along with "Krabby Road", air less often in the Netherlands.
This episode aired on Nickelodeon with "Krabby Road" in March 2008. On TV.com, this episode aired in June 2008.
This is the second time Squilliam cries; first was Squilliam Returns.
This is the first time Squilliam's house is shown.
The show House Fancy is a parody of HGTV's House Hunters.
When Patrick is going to Squidward's toilet, he has nothing but when he came out from the toilet, he is

holding a newspaper. It is possibly that Squidward keeps a newspaper in his bathroom.

In later airings of this episode, the scene where Squilliam and Nicholas Withers on the whirlpool bath elevator was cut for unknown reasons.
When Squidward asks SpongeBob to paint the faded part on his wall, he gives SpongeBob blue paint, even though the wall is green. The paint was blue but dries the color of the wall but the house blew up before it got a chance to fade in.
When Squidward's couch was all together, the paint was all over the couch. But when the couch is split in half some of the paint disappeared.
Mr. Krabs, Sandy and Gary don't appear in this episode.
Whenever Squilliam's last name is shown throughout the episode it's spelled as Fancy son.
The font used on the title card is called "Curlz MT"
