Reef Blower is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season one. In this episode, When a shell is ruining Squidward's lawn, he kicks it over to SpongeBob's lawn. Using his reef-blower, SpongeBob tries to get it off his lawn, resulting in chaos..
Plot
Squidward walks outside and sees a shell on his lawn. He believes that it ruins the appearance of his lawn, so he "accidentally" kicks it onto SpongeBob's lawn. Suddenly, SpongeBob pops out of his window and sees the shell. He also believes that it ruins the appearance of his lawn, so he gets his "reef blower" (an underwater version of a leaf blower) out of his garage. He turns it on, much to the annoyance of Squidward. Squidward plugs his ears and SpongeBob struggles to blow the shell away. Frustrated, he blows a large column of sand onto Squidward. To fix this problem, SpongeBob blows the sand off, which irritates Squidward's eyes. SpongeBob peers over at his sidewalk and sees a pile of sand. A subtitle "You" appears as SpongeBob points at the pile. He then sucks the pile of sand into the reef blower, which malfunctions. The sand and a few mechanical gears blow out. So, SpongeBob unzips the reef blower and puts them in himself. The reef blower sneezes. When the reef blower refuses to start, SpongeBob pulls the cord to an extreme distance and before finally starts. However, this causes it to suck in all of the water in the ocean. The reef blower then explodes, returning the water and leaving piles of sand all over Squidward's lawn, while SpongeBob's lawn is perfectly clean. Satisfied, SpongeBob goes back inside, while the shell lands on Squidward's nose.

Trivia/Goofs
- Reef Blower shows after "Help Wanted" without any commercials. This would be the only occurrance of such a pairing until "Rise and Shine" and "Waiting".
- With the exception of a grunt from Squidward and a subtitled gesture from SpongeBob ("You!"), this episode has no dialogue, making it similar in style to a silent film.
- This is the only episode with no credits after the title-card at the beginning.
- This is the first appearance of any of the regular generic character models, in this case Fred.
