[edit] Plot
SpongeBob is watching his favorite show, The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. He has entered a competition, and is listening eagerly to see if he's won the mystery prize. The announcer declares the winner as "SpringBoob SquirePin". However, it is actually SpongeBob SquarePants, as the announcer did not "pronounce it correctly".
SpongeBob has won the "conch signal", a conch whose noise is a signal which Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy respond to. However, SpongeBob constantly sounds it in order to get them to do favours.
Annoyed, Barnacle Boy shouts at SpongeBob, who says that he just wants to spend time with them. They spend time together, with SpongeBob dressed as a superhero. In the street, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy see an old man, who was once The Atomic Flounder. SpongeBob attacks the old man but is stopped.
At a restaurant, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ask SpongeBob to find their theme song on a jukebox. They run outside and hope to escape from SpongeBob, but get trapped by The Dirty Bubble. SpongeBob pops the Dirty Bubble with a pencil tip,actually trying to get hes autograph, saving the day.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- The song that was sung is a parody of a song about Batman and Robin - of which Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are parodies of.
- This was the first "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" episode in which SpongeBob appears without Patrick. The second is the 7th episode Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob, where Patrick didn't appear because it was a Krusty Krab episode.
- This was also the only "Mermaid Man and Barncale Boy" where the title card has purple waves. The other five have blue waves on the title card, but Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture had a completly different title card then the others.
- When Mermaid Man tells SpongeBob that, maybe, the conch signal is too much responsibility, the television in his house shows only a red screen, instead of black screen or a moving picture.
- This was the last episode to use Traditional cel animation. All episodes from Your Shoe's Untied onward use digital ink and paint.
