- Big Pink Loser:
As Patrick wakes up, a mailfish gives him a package. Curious, he then opens it, and finds a trophy inside. Excited, he starts showing everyone that he has a trophy (even the jellyfish and Bikini Atoll). He shows SpongeBob, who then realizes that the trophy is actually for him. Patrick is disappointed, even more so when he sees the contents of SpongeBob's special award closet. SpongeBob tries to help him find a way to win an award, and eventually Patrick decides to get a job at the Krusty Krab. First Patrick has to deliver some food to a customer; however, he keeps eating the customer's order, so SpongeBob gives him an explanation on how to do it right. Then he starts answering the phone, but ends up getting really angry when he thinks everyone is calling him the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob tells him that's the name of the restaurant, leaving Patrick ashamed. His next task is to sweep the floor near table 3. Patrick states he can't do anything right, but SpongeBob assures him that he'll do fine. Unfortunately, he sweeps the floor with the top part of the broom. Suddenly, a delivery man comes in, saying he has a load of awards for SpongeBob SquarePants. Patrick is so angry that he hits the floor with the broom making dust fly everywhere, making everyone cough. SpongeBob then pushes Patrick into the kitchen.
SpongeBob presents him with the extremely basic task of opening a jar. But Patrick keeps taking out the wrong thing, putting the jar in his mouth, and placing his hand wrong. SpongeBob tells him to do it exactly as he does, which gives Patrick an idea. He opens the jar, then bursts into tears, thinking that he broke it. SpongeBob shouts out that Patrick succeeded in opening the jar, and he and SpongeBob begin celebrating.
The next day, Patrick starts copying SpongeBob at work in hope of achieving the same success as his friend. When SpongeBob realizes this, he attempts to make him stop, but is unsuccessful until he dresses up as Patrick, which makes Patrick realize the error of his ways, and that he is a loser in every sense of the word. However, Patrick is then suddenly given an award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else." He then goes back under his rock to "protect (his) title."
Bubble Buddy:
The narrator explains that sometimes every day was a holiday for SpongeBob, even if he had to make one up. SpongeBob then wakes up with a Viking costume on, and exclaims "Hey everybody! It's Leif Ericson Day! Hinga Dinga Durgen!" He then goes outside to play with his friends, but finds notes at the houses of Patrick, Sandy and Squidward notifying that they can't play. He decides to make a new buddy, and after several failed attempts, creates a humanoid, happiest bubble named Bubble Buddy. The two go to the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob orders everything on the menu for Bubble Buddy. However, SpongeBob explains several specifications that Squidward has to adhere to in order to satisfy Bubble Buddy's alleged preferences (lactose intolerant, etc.), making him remake the patties several times. After the meal, Bubble Buddy pays in "bubble-money" (which pops, and is feign money) and leaves a tip of "bubble coins" which also pops, making Squidward and Mr. Krabs mad.
SpongeBob and Bubble Buddy then go to the Goo Lagoon, where they continue to cause trouble, even resulting in the demise of one fish. Eventually, the Bikini Bottomites become fed up with Bubble Buddy and begin to riot, even tipping over the lifeguard tower. Squidward steps in and blames SpongeBob and the bubble he has created, causing the mob to direct their efforts towards popping Bubble Buddy. They surround SpongeBob and Bubble Buddy, brandishing sewing needles. SpongeBob tries to inform the crowd that Bubble Buddy is uncomfortable around their pointy needles, but they tell him that they are done with Bubble Buddy. SpongeBob tries to escape by inflating Bubble Buddy, but he flies weakly back into the crowd's grasp. SpongeBob says Bubble Buddy is his special friend and tries to ask if they ever had a special friend. Although some do reveal that they do have a special friend, it isn't enough to change their mind. So they throw SpongeBob out of the way. Squidward begins to stab Bubble Buddy, but he suddenly comes to life and catches the needle before it reaches him, much to the shock of Squidward and the other crowd members. Bubble Buddy then tells SpongeBob that "things are getting a little weird around here," and leaves in a bubble taxi, flipping into the sky, wishing SpongeBob a Happy Leif Erikson Day. Everyone appears to be OK with Bubble Buddy leaving Bikini Bottom except Squidward who is still shocked at what happened. The rest of the crowd then leave to go on with their regular lives and SpongeBob happily cries that people grow up so fast before leaving in a flurry of bubbles. All but one of them pop, and Squidward greets it.
