— Magic Conch Shell, "Club SpongeBob"
|
The Magic Conch shell is a toy used by SpongeBob and Patrick to answer their questions. It first appears in the episode "Club SpongeBob."
Description[]
The Magic Conch Shell is a lavender-colored seashell that has a speaker inside it to help the toy and users communicate more effectively. It is operated by a pull-string.
Role in series[]
"Club SpongeBob"/"Club SpongeBob: Puppet Edition!"[]
When SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward are stuck in the Kelp Forest, SpongeBob brings out the Magic Conch Shell and he and Patrick play with it, ask it questions then pull the cord, and do whatever it says. It serves as the head of their club. SpongeBob and Patrick are loyal to the Magic Conch Shell, but not Squidward, who calls it a "stupid toy." SpongeBob is offended by this, telling Squidward they should never question the Magic Conch's authority and they must never take action until they ask it what to do. It tells them to do nothing, which SpongeBob and Patrick obey while Squidward unsuccessfully tries to leave. When the foods arrive, Squidward asks it numerous times for food, but the Conch constantly answers "no" every time, infuriating him.
When a ranger arrives to assist SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, he reveals that he has a Magic Conch Shell of his own, meaning he is a member of their club, much to Squidward's shock and SpongeBob and Patrick's delight. It once again tells them to do nothing, and this time the still shocked Squidward obeys.
