Jellyfishing is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season one. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick take a wheelchair-bound Squidward jellyfishing, with disastrous results..
Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick are preparing to go jellyfishing. They ask Squidward if he wants to join them. He, of course, refuses and goes bicycling instead. SpongeBob asks Squidward if he can join them next time, and he sarcastically says yes as he rides off. While bicycling, Squidward is attacked by a jellyfish, causing him to lose control and ride off a cliff, causing, for no apparent reason, an atomic explosion as he lands. The next day, Squidward returns home, in a wheelchair and wearing a full-body cast that does not allow him any articulate movement. SpongeBob and Patrick eagerly welcome him home, and, not understanding his condition, promise to make today his "Best Day Ever". After trying to feed him soup and playing a song (badly) for him on his own clarinet, they decide that what Squidward needs for his "Best Day Ever" is a jellyfishing expedition. He is unable to grasp a jellyfishing net, so Patrick literally skewers it through his hand. Squidward actually manages to catch a jellyfish, but in doing so angers a giant jellyfish. It begins chasing after him, and ultimately catches and zaps him. The next day, SpongeBob and Patrick meet outside Squidward's house, and attempt to give a now life-support-bound Squidward the jellyfish that he caught the previous day. Squidward, still mad, opens the jar and lets the jellyfish attack SpongeBob and Patrick. As Squidward laughs, the giant jellyfish appears and stings him, destroying his equipment. A completely blackened Squidward says "Ow." as the episode ends.
