Characters

Synopsis

For weeks, Squidward has been working on his music and finished putting down the notes to perform with his clarinet. Before he can start, a sound from his neighbors leads him to dropping his entire work onto the flame of a candle that burned on both sides. Therefore, his work was destroyed. Going outside to investigate the sounds, he finds Patrick hammering a sign on his front lawn. When SpongeBob suggests Patrick to strike it one more time, the hammer pushes it all the way into the gravel, only to destroy the sign.

Squidward goes to his neighbors, complaining, asking what the noise is about. SpongeBob replies by saying that Patrick is renting out some property. A delighted Squidward thinks Patrick is moving out, only to find that he is renting out his yard for extra cash. SpongeBob asks Squidward to be on the lookout for takers who might want to stay on the yard while the duo goes jellyfishing.

For a while, the cultural neighbor enjoys peace from his neighbors, only to be interrupted by a resident named Howard. Lying to Howard about the rent sign being outdated, Howard plans to leave until Squidward says he is just kidding after Howard says he would have wanted to do many things that Squidward also enjoys. Howard invites Squidward for some tea and wants to discuss each other and the other neighbors.

SpongeBob and Patrick return, finding Howard's mobile home, and Patrick is excited about meeting the new neighbor who hates what Patrick and SpongeBob do. Knowing that the two would convince Howard to leave, Squidward makes plans to hide the peaceful neighbor from SpongeBob and Patrick. Thinking that the new neighbor is shy, they wanted to come back later, which was really soon.

New Fish in Town 124 — Squidward and Howard playing their instruments together.

When they are back, Howard and Squidward are performing with their instruments on some music. Hearing SpongeBob's laugh, Squidward tries to hide it by saying the sound is his broken clarinet. Instead of fixing it, he makes a wooden fence, followed by a stone wall then Squidward puts zippers to "shut" their mouths and then bulldozing SpongeBob's and Patrick's houses off a cliff, making the two follow it. Howard sees enough hiding and wanted to see the secrets behind the laughing and then finds the jellyfishers who are also playing with bubbles. Before stopping them, he gets used to the jellyfish and bubbles and become one of the annoying neighbors.

New Fish in Town 169 — SpongeBob and Patrick blowing bubbles and playing with a jellyfish.

Dismayed and clearly enraged by what he is witnessing, Squidward states he can't tolerate the three; he angrily brings Howard's mobile home out of place and pushes it off a cliff. Squidward becomes disappointed for almost having a decent neighbor, so SpongeBob and Patrick try to cheer him up by having him pop a bubble. He goes along with it, but the bubble keeps floating away, a panicked Squidward goes after it, and jumps off the cliff and gets a hard landing, leaving him exclaiming "Jellyfishing bubble blowers!" at SpongeBob and Patrick.

Trivia

General

This episode was originally going to be paired with "Perfect Chemistry," but it aired with "Big Sister Sam," and then it got paired with "Love That Squid." ^{[citation needed]}
This episode's title card is similar to that of "Porous Pockets," the only difference being that the scales on the card are colored differently and the scales point in a different direction.
The April 1, 2020 airing used the April Fools/Rock version of the theme song.^{[citation needed]}
Howard's bassoon is much smaller compared to a bassoon in real life.
This is the fourth episode where one or more characters are submerged down a cliff. The first three are "Rock Bottom," "Patrick SmartPants," and "20,000 Patties Under the Sea,"
Ironically, both this episode and its sister episode involve Squidward meeting someone else for the first time and having a good relationship with them.

Cultural references

The title of this episode is a play on The Eagles' 1976 song, "New Kid in Town."

Errors

SpongeBob has a jellyfish net in his hand, but in the next scene, it disappears.

Untitled26 20200123183622 — Brick walls from outside disappear.

Squidward builds a brick wall around Howard's trailer, but the window behind the couch shows the sky, not the bricks.
When Squidward goes back inside Howard's trailer for the last time and says "I'm back," the brick wall from before is not there anymore.
When Squidward chases the bubble, it sinks down the cliff, but bubbles only float up or float in place, not sink.

Going outside to investigate the sounds, he finds Patrick hammering a sign on his front lawn. When SpongeBob suggests Patrick to hammer it one more time, the hammer pushed it all to way into the gravel only to destroy the sign. Squidward went to his neighbors complaining, asking what the noise was about. SpongeBob replies saying that Patrick is renting out some property. A delighted Squidward thought Patrick was moving out only to find that he was actually renting out his yard for extra cash. SpongeBob asked Squidward to be on the lookout for takers who might want to stay on the yard while the duo go jellyfishing. For a while, the cultural neighbor was enjoying peace from his neighbors only to be interrupted by a resident named Howard. Lying to Howard about the rent sign being outdated, Howard plans to leave until Squidward said he was just kidding after Howard said he would have wanted to do many things that Squidward also enjoys. Howard invites Squidward for some tea and wants to discuss about each other and the other neighbors. SpongeBob and Patrick return finding Howard's mobile home and Patrick is excited about meeting the new neighbor who hates what Patrick and his friend does. Knowing that the two would convince Howard to [[File:Clarinet_and_Bassoon.jpg|thumb|Squidward amd Howard, playing their instruments together.]]leave, Squidward makes plans to hide the peaceful neighbor from SpongeBob and Patrick. Thinking that the new neighbor is shy, they wanted to come back later which was really soon. When they are back, Howard and Squidward are performing with their instruments on some music. Hearing SpongeBob's laugh, Squidward tries to hide it as his clarinet being broken. Instead of fixing it, he makes a wooden fence, followed by a stone wall then Squidward puts zippers to "shut" their mouths, and then bulldozing SpongeBob and Patrick's houses off a cliff making the two follow it. Howard saw enough hiding and wanted to see the secrets behind the laughing and found the jellyfishers who were also playing with bubbles. Before stopping them, he got used to the jellyfish and bubbles and become one of the annoying neighbors. Much to his dismay Squidward gets mad and couldn't tolerate three so he brought Howard's mobile home out of place and pushed it off a cliff. Squidward became disappointed for almost having a decent neighbor, so SpongeBob and Patrick tried to cheer him up by having him pop a bubble. He goes along with it, but the bubble keeps floating away, Squidward goes after it and jumps the cliff and got a hard landing, leaving him exclaiming at SpongeBob and Patrick, "Jellyfishing bubble blowers!"
