Plot
 |
When the 21st Fry Cook games are about to begin, the fire on the ceremonial torch suddenly gets blown out. A "Please Stand By" sign appears, and the torch is carefully re-lit, at the expense of the torch-bearer, Harold, who is forced to run there again, and catches on fire himself.
Mr. Krabs and Plankton had competed in the games for several years, each winning several medals. This year, Spongebob is representing the Krusty Krab. While he is training, Patrick appears and asks if he can play too. Spongebob tells him that he has to be a fry cook to compete.
Plankton then appears and introduces his competitor, who at first appears to be a terrifyingly huge and muscular fish, but he is only carrying the real contestant on his back, who is none other than Patrick, who got a job at the Chum Bucket in order to compete.
The competitions include fast food-related versions of actual olympic sports, such as the "Deep Fry Pole Vault" (pole-vaulting over a deep-fryer) and the "Chocolate High-Dive" (Diving from a springboard to a vat of chocolate, making the diver look like ice cream), among others.
Finally, SpongeBob and Patrick's scores are tied when they face off against each other in the final event, "Bun Wrestling". They both tear away their clothes, revealing giganticly muscular bodies, and begin viciously fighting, having become enemies over the course of the competition. During the struggle, both SpongeBob and Patrick split their pants, revealing SpongeBob to be wearing pink underpants and Patrick to be wearing yellow. This causes them to stop figing and settle their differences. The episode ends as the two walk out of the stadium holding hands while Mr. Krabs and Plankton start fighting with each other, frustrated that their players stopped competing. However, Patrick mentions that his underwear were white when he bought them.

Trivia/Goofs
- The Fry Cook Games in the episode is a parody of the Olympic Games.
- The huge guy carrying Patrick on his back is a reference to a scene in "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls".
- When the Realistic Fish Head describes the Fry Cook Games, the background music is The Bonnie Blue Flag, a Confederate song.
- For the crowd sequences, only six character models are used, repeated many times over in different spots in the bleachers.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick are bun wrestling, and when SpongeBob erases Patrick's name off of his card, it's night, but when they walk out of the stadium, it's daytime. This error also occurs in "Spy Buddies".
- The captions refer to the 21st Annual Fry Cook Games as the 12th Annual Fry Cook Games.
- The later airings show Spongebob and Patrick's hands over each other's shoulders as they leave rather than holding hands.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick are leaving Patrick is on SpongeBob's right but moments later he is on the left.
- The PLEASE STAND BY after the failed attempt of the torch is also seen on the interlude of "Shanghaied", after Patchy attempts to make the birds walk the plank, only for them to fly away, causing him to have a breakdown. A similar one is seen in "Ugh", when Patchy Looses his balance whilst riding a fake dinosaur.
- The font used on the title card is similar to the font on the title card for "Neptune's Spatula".
- There is a TV plug-in video game based on this episode.
- Even though Spongebob and Patrick promised to never fight again at the end of the episode, they fight again in future episodes. (Like in the episode "The Battle of Bikini Bottom")
- How can Plankton get sympathy when he has a broken antenna and why would people feel sorry for Plankton when he is the most hated character?
- When Mr. Krabs and Plankton are on the winners stands, and Plankton is on the first place stand, he doesn't have a cast on his antenna, although the previous scene showed he did and it was the same year.
- Oddly, Patrick has a name tag sewed to his skin, which in realistic time, would hurt
