Episode Title:
As Seen on TV - Can You Spare a Dime?.
Episode Description:
As Seen on TV: SpongeBob makes a very short cameo in the first Krusty Krab's commercial in which he is barely visible in all scenes. SpongeBob lets his supposed fame go to his head when an elderly man recognizes him. SpongeBob feels he does not need his job at the Krusty Krab anymore, so he gives up fry cooking believing that he is a big famous celebrity, even though he really is not.
Can You Spare a Dime?: Mr. Krabs loses his first dime earned and accuses Squidward of stealing it on the barest evidence. Squidward gets fed up with his employer's cheapness and insults, so he quits his job thinking he will find another one easily. He falls upon hardships and spends all his savings. He is forced to turn to SpongeBob, who he takes great advantage of. SpongeBob gets tired of doing everything for Squidward and must get him his job back at the Krusty Krab. In the end, after eventually finding the dime (which turns out to be huge), Mr. Krabs rehires Squidward but then accuses him of misplacing his dime, again on the barest evidence. Having started another argument, SpongeBob puts on his maid uniform Squidward ordered him to wear before, anticipating the inevitable.
