Characters[]

Synopsis[]

As the episode begins, SpongeBob and Patrick sing "Squidward Had a Krabby Patty," which is to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Squidward becomes very annoyed, so he tells them to stop. However, they ignore him and continue singing, so Squidward goes to the door of the kitchen to yell at them, but just as he reaches the door, the door swings open as SpongeBob comes out singing, and it hits Squidward in the face. Squidward is in great pain, and yells at SpongeBob to take him to the hospital. At the hospital, SpongeBob is nervously pacing up and down and chewing on Krusty Krab hats, when Incidental 116 opens the door to the waiting room. SpongeBob bursts into tears and asks if Squidward is going to be okay, to which Incidental 116 replies by saying they will not know for two weeks.

SpongeBob worries about his accident with Squidward for two weeks later, until Incidental 116 calls him into the hospital and give Squidward a bouquet of flowers. He gives one of the flowers to Mable, who is apparently suffering from amnesia, and then he walks into Squidward's operation room. Incidental 116 says that Squidward had asked to keep SpongeBob far away from him, but SpongeBob promises to stay out of the way. Just as Incidental 116 is about to cut the bandages, SpongeBob stalls him long enough so he can't see Squidward's face by interrupting him, saying to not rush it. He then interrupts a second time, asking if Squidward has enough "emensmansera," to which the doctor says he has never heard of. SpongeBob then interrupts a third time, saying the readings on a brain meter (which is actually a television) are wrong, and a fourth time with a television program. SpongeBob interrupts once more as the doctor angrily wonders what the reason is as SpongeBob ironically says it was to apologize for interrupting him, and the bandages are finally cut. Squidward's face is so handsome it causes the doctor and a nurse to faint, and when Squidward looks in a mirror, he is thrilled to see he really is handsome. While Squidward prepares to leave the hospital to show the town his new looks, SpongeBob says that he's going home to clip his toenails and reminds him not to forget to enjoy being too handsome.

Handsome Squidward.

As Squidward is walking through town, multiple fish see him, call him handsome, and faint. One fish crashes a car, an old lady regains the ability to walk, a blind fish regains the ability to see, and one fish becomes able to fly. Many fish begin taking photographs of Squidward, and one asks for an autograph. Squidward is enjoying the attention. A limo is waiting for Squidward and returns him to Squidward's house. Many fans follow the limo and take pictures of Squidward as he walks to his house. Squidward goes to sleep, while a group of fish is chanting 'handsome handsome handsome' outside his house all night. In the morning, Squidward remembers he is handsome, and goes out to greet the crowd, which has grown significantly over night. Suddenly, the fans start trying to take his shirt and eyelids, and Squidward rushes back inside. Squidward instead decides to play them a song on his clarinet, and the crowd cheers for him. But then, someone grabs his clarinet from him as he is leaning out the window, and that fish is attacked by the crowd who also want the clarinet.

Squidward tries to take his mind off the incident by having an herbal bath, but someone reaches through the window and grabs his soap and Squidward calls the person out, saying that his grandmother gave him that soap. Squidward tries to enjoy his bath, but a huge fish emerges from his bath, and then fish start coming through his window, door, and even toilet, and try to 'get' him as a bunch of peeping toms. Squidward jumps out the window, but the crowd is still outside, and they start to approach him. He runs into SpongeBob's house, where he is trimming his toenails (like he mentioned earlier in the episode), and Squidward begs SpongeBob to help him get his old life back. SpongeBob and Squidward cut through the crowd and run to the Krusty Krab, with the crowd chasing after them.

Even More Handsome Squidward.

When they arrive, Mr. Krabs is thrilled to see a crowd of people outside the Krusty Krab, thinking they are a lot of customers Squidward brought to the Krusty Krab, and tells the crowd they can pay to touch Squidward. Squidward asks SpongeBob to smash the door in his face before Mr. Krabs opens the doors to the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob does not want to hurt Squidward on purpose, but Squidward tells SpongeBob to hurt him, or he will hurt SpongeBob, so SpongeBob repeatedly slams the door in Squidward's face. This ends up making Squidward even more handsome, then suddenly a shoe falls through a hole in the roof. Before it hits Squidward in the head, SpongeBob shoves him out of the way, and he stumbles face first into a pole. This returns Squidward's face to normal and the crowd leaves in disappointment. In an attempt to bring them back, Mr. Krabs repeatedly slams the door into Squidward's face to make handsome one last time, but to no avail, which ends the episode from there.

Production[]

In this episode, SpongeBob says, "Handsome. But she spelled it wrong" after Squidward asks what Incidental 49 had called him a moment before. This was an inside joke, where the word, "Handsome" was missing the "d" on the storyboards of that scene.[3]

Originally, Squidward's face would have been broken by a truck. It was changed to a door because it would have been too frightening to be shown.[3]
