Synopsis[]
Patrick makes "art."
The episode starts at Squidward's house. Squidward is shown pushing what appears to be a sculpture with a sheet over it into his yard. Then, Patrick and SpongeBob call to him and ask if he wants to join them in making arts and crafts. He solemnly says "No," and tells them that he is a true artist and has a hat to prove it. SpongeBob says he weaved a basket, a wallet, and money. Patrick is trying to weave a basket but fails (due to the fact that he kept hammering his finished piece). Squidward walks away bitterly and Patrick becomes upset that he cannot make art like SpongeBob and Squidward. SpongeBob shows Patrick how to make a rock with googly eyes on it. Patrick repeats this process and SpongeBob is very impressed (though his rock had googly eyes all over it instead of two normal eyes). Squidward insults their artwork and soon after, an art critic visits and judges Squidward's work (which is a statue of himself). The art critic says that it is hideous and confiscates Squidward's hat. Then, the art critic judges SpongeBob's art and says it is lame. He then judges Patrick's art and mentions how it was so wonderful and creative. He gives him $500 and Squidward's hat for it. Squidward is angry at this and repeatedly says over and over "I bet he won't sell another" until SpongeBob stops him. After Patrick sells four more rocks, Squidward states that he actually would prefer to go to work and both SpongeBob and Squidward leave to go to the Krusty Krab.
Patrick and Squidward discuss "artistic advice."
Meanwhile, Patrick's artwork becomes so famous that he runs out of rocks, so he tries to find something else to make art with. First, he paints a beautiful scenery of the night sky and says it is lame. Then, he sculpts a man sitting down, thinking and says that it stinks. Patrick goes to the Krusty Krab since it is his lunch time and he orders art advice. Squidward complains that is not on the menu until Patrick points out that it is: Mr. Krabs has put it on the menu for $25. Mr. Krabs tells Squidward to give Patrick art advice. But Squidward does not want to give advice to the artist who upstaged him and only tells him to concentrate on his patty. This gives Patrick the idea to put googly eyes on the patty. His Googly Patty gets famous once the art critic mentions that it is the next big thing. Everyone rushes to the Krusty Krab to get one. When Mr. Krabs hears the sound of cha-ching, he rushes to the cash register and finds no money. He is surprised until he looks up and sees customers pay Patrick for the Patties. He then sees SpongeBob sending Krabby Patties out to Patrick. He pulls SpongeBob and Patrick into his office and demands an explanation and, to his fury, learns that Patrick is ordering Krabby Patties for $3 for his googly art which he then sells for $50. Squidward sneers at them for getting into trouble, but Patrick explains that he was just following Squidward's advice. Hearing this, Mr. Krabs realizes this is all Squidward's doing and gets very angry at him. So, Mr. Krabs put good use to Squidward to punish him and get money.
Now, Krabby Patties are sold at $50. Incidental 41 orders a patty, stating that it is so inexpensive. He goes to Patrick's stall. Patrick calls his apprentice, which is really Squidward, to make another one of his masterpieces. Squidward adds glue on Incidental 41's patty and Patrick says to Squidward that he could be an artist one day if he works hard, but changes his mind when the patty hasn't got enough "glitter." Squidward then bursts into tears as the episode ends.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The rock that SpongeBob makes resembles Pete the Rock from the episode "Sentimental Sponge," except Pete's eyes were not googly eyes.
Cultural references[]
- The statue Squidward makes is similar to the famous statue Venus de Milo. Also, in the Latin Spanish version, Squidward calls the statue "Venus de Calamardo," which means "Venus de Squidward" in Spanish.
- The painting that Patrick creates is Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, and the statue he makes is The Thinker by Auguste Rodin.
- The Thinker is also referenced in "The Masterpiece," "Hello Bikini Bottom!," and "Insecurity Guards."
- Starry Night is also referenced in "The Krusty Slammer" and "Pat Hearts Squid."
Errors[]
Norma's detached face.
- When Squidward walks away after Patrick sells more art, SpongeBob's eyelashes disappear.
- While Harold says "he's so eccentric," Norma's facial features are seen slightly detached from her face (seen right).
Krabby Patty on the Gallery Grub says Krabby Pattie.
- When Patrick looks at the Krusty Krab menu, Krabby Patty is misspelled as "Krabby Pattie."
- This error also happens in "Séance Shméance" and "Grandmum's the Word."
- When Patrick tells Squidward he wants new ideas for what he should make next, Squidward answers with "Off the menu! Choose something off the menu!", when he should have said "On the menu!".
- In the overview of the crowd, Incidental 2 is shown ahead of Norma, but when it cuts to the front of the line, Incidental 2 is gone.
- When Mr. Krabs walks towards the cash register, Incidental 37A freezes mid-blink.
- This error also occurs in "FUN-Believable," but with SpongeBob in that episode.
Incidental 107's missing mouth.
- In one frame, Incidental 107's mouth is missing.
