Plot
SpongeBob SquarePants wakes up and realizes that it is Sunday, and therefore decides to have an ice cream sundae for breakfast. However, he is out of ice cream and other essential ingredients, and creates a heavily improvised "sundae" made from onions, ketchup and peanuts from a peanut plant he had been growing in his window. The sundae gives Spongebob horrible breath, which he does not realize. After breakfast, SpongeBob begins his Sunday to-do list, which consists of saying "hi" to everyone in town.
Everyone in town is disgusted by the smell of Spongebob's breath, and avoids him. He is very confused by this, and asks Patrick if he notices anything wrong with him. Patrick, not having a nose, is unaffected by his foul breath, and comes to the conclusion that Spongebob is ugly. SpongeBob is shocked by this, and isolates himself in his home.
Later, Patrick visits Spongebob, who has now become a hermit. Patrick attempts to teach him to be proud of his ugliness. It works, and SpongeBob's confidence grows, so they go to the cinema. When they go in and sit down, all the fish still avoid SpongeBob. Angered that no one has the nerve to face SpongeBob's so-called ugliness, Patrick goes into a maniacal rage and forces the other viewers to look at SpongeBob. They all panic and run out of the theater. Patrick eventually gets hungry so they go to get a snack, but no one is at the counter, so SpongeBob gives Patrick some of his sundae. When a guy runs away from Patrick in the bathroom, he thinks he has caught the "ugly" from SpongeBob. SpongeBob smells Patrick's extremely foul breath, and comes to the realization that they are not ugly, and simply have bad breath from the sundae. After they realize this, the two begin to run around shouting "WE STINK!", melting down the movie theater with their stench. In the last scene, SpongeBob and Patrick run into Squidward, who is looking at wigs in a window display, and say, "Guess what, Squidward? WE STINK!" Squidward looks confused and SpongeBob and Patrick run away laughing.
Transcript
Trivia/Goofs
- When SpongeBob fetches the ketchup for his sundae, the bottle reads "Katsup" (A misspelling of catsup, an old word for ketchup rarely used today).
- When SpongeBob is playing the piano thinking he's ugly, his sleeves are pink instead of white.
- This is the first episode to use 2-D computer color instead of ink and paint.
- The title card music is the same as "Clams".
- When SpongeBob realises he is ugly, he hides at home playing a pipe organ and wearing a mask, a parody of Phantom of the Opera.
- After SpongeBob finishes his sundae, he says You know what they say Gary...I'm easy like Sunday morning., a reference to the song "Easy Like Sunday Morning".
- SpongeBob says "Hello, dolly!" in the marching band scence, a reference to the film "Hello, Dolly!"
- When SpongeBob is blown onto the calendar, he is stuck between the 18 and 19th of the month. Yet when the camera cuts into close-up, he is stuck on the 20th of the month. Also, the 20th day of the month is on the outer side of the calendar, so Monday could not be beside Sunday on the calendar (Monday would be the first square on the next line).
- In the original TV version, SpongeBob walks up to a building and says "Hi, building!" which causes the building to flee from SpongeBob's breath. He goes up to Patrick and says "I just don't get it!" and Patrick says "I don't either." In the Season 2 DVD release, as well as the YTV version, the scene goes like this:
- SpongeBob: (walks up to a building and waves) I just don't get it! (the building flees)
- Patrick: I don't either. (SpongeBob walks up to Patrick; the rest of the scene goes as normal, resulting in the same lines being repeated)
- In the DVD commentary for this episode, they mention that Squidward had a deleted line at the end of the episode. After SpongeBob and Patrick hug him and run away, he would say "Ugly and smelly, two for one."
- It is confirmed in this episode that Patrick doesn't have a nose, but in "Wet Painters", Patrick has a nose (or a hole, as Patrick only has one nose opening). Also, in "Suds", Patrick puts a clothespin over where his nose would be.
- This was the first episode to use Digital ink and paint and computer techniques for the animation rather than transferring the characters to cels (from the pilot Spongebob episode to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II).
- An online game based on this episode can be found at [1].
- At the movies, Spongebob and Patrick at first sit in the front row, but later, when Patrick is making the speech about how if people are ugly, they shouldn't be ashamed to say it, and when he lifts Spongebob, they appear to be in the middle row, not the front.
- This is the first episode where Patrick is shown to have "Z"s for eyes, the second being "Wormy".
- Patrick is shown washing his hands, but in "The Battle of Bikini Bottom", he claims to never have washed them (although he does not actually get to washing them in this episode).
- When Spongebob screams in Patrick's face, it's like when he screamed in Mr. Krabs face in Arrgh!
