Plot for Club SpongeBob

As Squidward is going to work, he hears SpongeBob and Patrick talking in a secret code. They refuse to tell him what they mean because he's not in their club. They also tell him that he can't get in, and that "you and your big nose would never fit in." Their clubhouse is sitting upon a giant stalk, and Squidward tries to get in. When SpongeBob and Patrick said he couldn't get in, they meant it literally. It's too small, so Squidward grabs another stalk by reaching out the window, and pulls himself down. At the bottom, the stalk snaps, and the clubhouse flies off into the kelp forest. Squidward starts panicking, while SpongeBob and Patrick stay calm and trust in the 'magic conch'. Squidward keeps telling them that it's a toy. It tells them to do nothing, so SpongeBob and Patrick just sit down and do nothing. Squidward has set up a camp, and says "What's going on at club shell-for-brains? As if the answer to all your problems will fall right of the sky! Fall right out of the sky!"

In a typical moment of cartoon humor, a Picnic Supplies plane is losing control, flying over the Kelp Forest. The pilot panics, saying that the plane is falling right out of the sky. As a result, the pilot drops the load i.e. food, a tent, benches, and a camp fire. Whilst SpongeBob and Patrick eat and sanctify their conch, Squidward, who realizes that he is the loser in the situation, tries to grovel his way back into the club. SpongeBob, ostensibly unaware that Squidward is apologizing purely out of selfishness, tells him that if you're once a member, you're always a member. Squidward's true intentions become clear when he mocks the conch, and when he is persuaded to ask the shell what he should eat, the conch tells him that he can't eat anything, perchance because he doesn't respect the club's property. Then, a forest ranger appears, who said his conch told him to go and look for the trio. His conch also says to do nothing. Squidward gives up all hope of survival and also does nothing.
