Plot

SpongeBob trying to get to the Krusty Krab

A harsh, powerful windstorm occurs in Bikini Bottom. When the winds blow through SpongeBob's pores, they make music. Swarms of jellyfish are attracted to it, so the sponge hides in a cave for an apparently long period time. Eventually, SpongeBob makes several stone replicas, which produce better and louder music, to make sure that the jellyfish will leave him alone. He succeeds, so he runs to the Krusty Krab- only to discover that the winds have caused it to be engulfed in sand. He says, "How long have I been gone?!", and yells out, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"...

3,000 years later, a race of strange cyborgs (presumably of alien origin) have appeared in Bikini Bottom. The SpongeBob statues have become a major tourist attraction. They wonder who made the statues, and why they were made.

Cultural References

  • When the Krusty Krab is buried in the sand, it may be a reference to a scene from The Day After Tomorrow, where the Statue of Liberty is buried in snow, or equally likely if not more-so, from the movie Planet of the Apes when Taylor, having survived and escaped imprisonment, wanders along along a coastline in search of shelter. He finds a partially destroyed Statue of Liberty buried in the sand.
  • The name "SpongeHenge" comes from StoneHenge, an attraction in England; the stones of SpongeBob are a parody of StoneHedge.
  • The scene where SpongeBob is in a cave hiding from the jellyfish and making a stone buddy is a reference to the movie Castaway.
  • When Patrick is watching the news, the anchorwoman says, "And that's the way it is in your world today." This is an obvious reference to Walter Cronkite's signature sign-off.

Trivia

  • This episode was set to premiere with "20,000 Patties Under the Sea" but aired with "The Two Faces of Squidward instead.
  • In the German version of this episode, the episode is called Die SteinBobs, which means "The StoneBobs".
  • As for who was right in the Neptune/Poseidon debate seen in the very beginning, they were both right. The Romans called him Neptune and the Greeks called him Poseidon.
  • Patrick eats kelp cream in this episode, it is a spoof of whipped cream or shaving cream.
  • This episode was aired on the first day as part of Nick's Nonstop Five at Five.
  • SpongeBob says that in all his years of fry cooking he has never been late, but he was a minute late in New Digs, two minutes late in Hooky (from the very first season), fifteen minutes late in Have You Seen This Snail? and three hours late in Pet or Pests, which implies this episode takes place before those episodes.
  • This is the second time Spongebob said that his fingers are too big for the buttons; the first time was in the episode Suds.
  • No sea creatures are harmed or blown away during the filming of this story!
  • The man in the moon was played by Paul Tibbitt while the man in the sun was played by Dee Bradley Baker.
