Plot
SpongeBob sees a commercial about buying Mr. Magic's magical magic set and decides to order it, and he places the envelope into the mailbox. Four to six weeks later, the mailfish puts the magic kit (as well as SpongeBob himself) in SpongeBob´s mailbox. Meanwhile Squidward is sunbathing and SpongeBob wants to do a card trick for him. While SpongeBob is busy reading the magic book, Squidward gets into a bus and tells the driver to take him anywhere far away from his house. Then Tom and his son drive by. The son is upset because he got pistachio ice cream, but his father can't understand why since that's the flavor he asked for. The ice cream cone is tossed out of the boatmobile and lands in Squidward´s chair. The ice cream melted into the shape of Squidward's head.
SpongeBob stops reading the magic book, sees the ice cream cone and comes to the conclusion that he turned Squidward into that ice cream cone! At first he is delighted at the thought that he is a level ten magician, but after some unsuccessful attempts at changing "Squidward" back, he becomes worried. So he puts the "Squidward" cone in the freezer and puts a strawberry cone in too so he'll have company. Then Patrick arrives and while SpongeBob is explaining the situation, Patrick is eating the "Squidward" ice cream cone. Aghast, SpongeBob stops him and they go to see Mr. Magic (the maker of the magic set SpongeBob bought). SpongeBob tells the floating fish head (fake Mr. Magic) what he did, and while Mr. Magic is making excuses about why he can't help him, Patrick discovers a fish talking through a microphone. The fish says he can't do magic and only made the kits to earn money. Then SpongeBob becomes hysterical over that he was a fake and Mr. Magic calls security and he and Patrick are thrown out. They return home where SpongeBob is again hysterical over what has just happened. In despair, SpongeBob starts to shout magic words and as he does, Squidward comes home and tosses the melted ice cream away. SpongeBob opens his eyes and, seeing Squidward standing there, believes he has successfully changed him back. He then asks to turn Squidward into something else. Squidward runs away and hops onto a fish's motorcycle. Patrick asks SpongeBob to turn him into a jar of mayonnaise so he can eat himself, and amazingly, it works!
Cultural References
- One of SpongeBob's sayings to "turn Squidward back to normal" is that he says "Okley-Doklley", which is Ned Flanders catchphrase on The Simpsons.
- SpongeBob and Patrick visit Mr. Magic. This spoofs the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz (a movie produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer).
Trivia/Goofs
- It is revealed the short blue fish with a red swimming suit's name is Charlie.
- When the ice cream was melting, it was simular to the sculpture squidward in Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost.
- It is revealed that Tom has a son. His son is the same boy who was called "Timmy" in "SquidBob TentaclePants."
- This episode marks the second appearance of magic. The first time was in "Wishing You Well."
- When the tough fish slid on the pistachio, SpongeBob got it and put the pistachio back together to get the foot trail away. But in the following scene, the pistachio still has the foot trail.
- When SpongeBob put the pink ice cream in with the pistachio, you can see it has a foot trail to the right, but when Patrick takes it out, it goes to the left.
- When Squidward left SpongeBob to ride in the bus, he's not wearing his orange shirt. But when he returned, he's wearing his shirt.
- When Spongebob turns Squidward into ice cream and starts to panic, he says "oogely-doogely", possibly referencing Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.
