• Mrs. Puff: Okay, class, quiet, quiet! Now get out your pencil and paper and write down the assignment. [class groans]
• SpongeBob: [leans towards Nat] Did you hear that? We get an assignment!
• Mrs. Puff: Everyone must write an essay on what not to do at a stoplight. [class groans again]
• SpongeBob: [Again leaning towards Nat] Did you hear that?! What not to do at a stoplight!
• Mrs. Puff: In no less than 800 words. [squeals and class groans again]
• Nat: [acting like SpongeBob] Did you hear that?! 800 words!
• SpongeBob: Yeah, I know! [Nat frowns]
• Mrs. Puff: Due tomorrow. And remember class: work hard and no goofing off.
• [Bubble transition to back at SpongeBob's house]
• SpongeBob: Okay, Gary, no goofin’ off! I am about to write the greatest essay of all time. Like most great essays, it will be written on paper. Even more important than the paper is [holds up a pencil] the pencil. A pencil as sharp or as dull as I like. Hmm... funny... as my ideas grow, you shrink. [kisses the pencil as little hearts fly out of it] Well, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to write an essay. [looks at window, it's colorful outside] Okay, here we go. What. Not. To do. At. A. Stoplight. Hey this is easy! By SpongeBob SquarePants. Hah! This essay is pure gold! And now pencil, get ready to do your stuff because here we go! [SpongeBob's clock is shown. Several hours pass and he has still only written ten words] Gee, this is harder than I thought... [SpongeBob looks outside where everyone is having fun]
• Patrick: [applies lotion on Sandy] Come on, SpongeBob! [SpongeBob goes back to his desk]
• SpongeBob: It should be against the law to have to write an essay on such a super sailorific, sunshiny day! Oh! But I must press onward, because with this pencil, and the completion of this essay, I'll be one step closer to my driver's license! [a live-action drag race is shown. a car hits a wall, tumbles and gets back up] Oh, yeah. This'll be no problemo. Why, I've got plenty of time. It's only six o'clock. Okay, okay here we go, here we go. [struggles to write] I know, I just need to get blood pumpin' in the old noodle. How about some calisthenics?
• [SpongeBob does calisthenics. While doing it, he recites "Hup Hoo" several times, with his nose and eyelashes doing it too.]
• SpongeBob: I can feel those juices pumpin' now! [moves his chair closer to the table. he does it a lot because of the fun noise it makes. He then laughs] Huh? What am I doing?! I've gotta write that paper! [pushes his chair in] Come on, pencil, make words.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Gary! Hey, hey, hey, Gary! How's my favorite mollusk? How about you let ol' SpongeBob fix you up somethin’ to eat?
• SpongeBob: What do you mean you're not hungry?
• SpongeBob: I know I have an essay to write! Now come on, Gary. [Grabs Gary by his shell and pours some food he takes up a ladder and fills it to ceiling-level] I've gotta make sure you have your nutrition, Gary, so I'm not leaving until you eat every single bite. [Gary quickly eats it] Gary, are-are you sure you don't want some crème brulée? Or, or some chocolate-flavored algae bits? [steps on Gary's food] Gee, Gary sure made a mess. I can't work on my essay knowing there's a mess in the kitchen. [cleans it up using himself as a mop] Hmm... I might as well clean the rest of the floor while I'm at it. I should get these hard-to-reach places too! And these dishes need to be cleaned! Can't have dirty garbage. "[sprays garbage]" "[cut to SpongeBob, who has already finished with tinkling sound] Well, I think it's clean enough now! Why that didn't take too long... and it's only... Ten o'clock?! Ooh... No more foolin’ around! I've gotta get back to work! Okay, Mr. Es-say, I say... prepare to be written! [Begins active writing] I'm doing it! I'm doing it! Yeah... yeah... yeah! And some of these, and some of these... Almost there and... [finishes writing. The pencil is steaming due to the excess force] done. Now lets see how it looks so far. "The-" [shows he has only written "the" in fancy lettering] Break time! Pacing always helps me think. Let's see, only seven hundred ninety-nine words to go... Think, SpongeBob, think! [looks at the telephone. Cut to Patrick in bed, snoring. The phone rings and he wakes up]
• Patrick: Who is that? [picks up phone] Hello?
• SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick, whatcha up to?
• Patrick: Sleeping.
• SpongeBob: That's really fascinating, are you havin’ a good sleep? Any dreams you'd like to discuss? I remember on the...
• Patrick: SpongeBob, you and I both know that you're just choosing me as a distraction so you don't have to write your essay.
• SpongeBob: [gasps] That is-that is not true! I called to have an engaging conversation with you!
• Patrick: Well, I'm listening.
• SpongeBob: Uh... Marco!
• Patrick: Polo! [hangs up]
• SpongeBob: Yeah, well I gotta get going Patrick, got an important essay to write? [hangs up phone] Sheesh, what a chatterbox. Can't he see that I'm busy? [back to his desk with eraser shavings on his paper] I can't write with all these eraser shavings all over my paper! [swats the shavings away but they float above the paper] Now they're floating around my thinking space. [blows them away] So long, pesky particles! [the shavings float back to SpongeBob. As he struggles to remove the shavings, he swallows one in the process] I swallowed one! I'm choking! Water, water! [goes to the kitchen and drinks water] That was a close one.
• SpongeBob: What do you mean "overly dramatic," Gary? [rubs his tummy] All that choking sure made me hungry.
• SpongeBob: I can't write on an empty stomach, Gary. I gotta have my brain food! [opens the refrigerator] Now let's see... White or rye bread... or pumpernickel. Gee, I guess it really depends on the meat inside... and the cheese. [doorbell rings] A visitor? For me!? [SpongeBob opens the door to meet Norton the Mailfish] Hello!
• Norton: Package for Mr. SquarePants.
• SpongeBob: Great, thanks! So, uh, do you like delivering mail?
• Norton: It puts bread on the table.
• SpongeBob: Rye or pumpernickel? [laughs]
• Norton: Oh, brother..
• SpongeBob: So, do you deliver your own mail or do you have your own mail person? But then who delivers his mail? Is there a never-ending chain of mailmen delivering mail to other mailmen? Well I guess a P.O. box could in theory break the chain...
• Norton: Don't you have a paper to write? [He walks away]
• SpongeBob: [Gulps and zooms in on his face] How did he know I'm supposed to be writing an essay? [blipping his eyes and slides back into his house]
• Realistic Fish Head: In other news, local resident SpongeBob SquarePants only has a few hours left to complete his essay, and yet he continues to goof off. [head sticks out TV] When will he learn?
• SpongeBob: Hi-yah! [karate chops the TV causing a zap and glass breaking. lights a candle]
• Chair: Hey, SpongeBob? Over here! Come on, take a seat. Put your feet up and relax.
• SpongeBob: [gasps and a bell rings and drops the candle that went out and the clock lights up] Oh no! Midnight! [runs through the hallway of clocks and the alarms ring on the walls] Must... get... back to desk! [runs to the table, but it has enlarged. he jumps up on the chair] Whew, that was a close call. [his pants are missing] Ah! My pants!
• Pants: Yoo hoo! Down here!
• SpongeBob: You get up here! I've got to get back to work!
• Pants: [runs out of SpongeBob's Pineapple to the door] Freedom!
• SpongeBob: [runs out the door] Stop Pants, you get back here this instant! Paaants... [door closes, SpongeBob yelps, then tries to get back in, but it is locked. He looks in the window. The candle is still lighting. The clock spins, breaks, and comes to life]
• Snail Clock: [ghostly voice] Time's up, SpongeBob...
• SpongeBob: [gasps as the candle comes to life] Burning!
• Fire Wick: Only seven hundred ninety-nine words to go. [laughs sinisterly as he burns the essay]
• SpongeBob: No! [the fire wick burns his entire pineapple. He screams] What have I done?! [SpongeBob runs around his house, yelling] Help! Help! My house is on fire! [continues running around his burning house with black smoke until it comes to life]
• SpongeBob's House: SpongeBob, why? Why did you set me on fire, SpongeBob? Why didn't you just write your essay?! Stop wasting time!
• SpongeBob: [wakes up] Where's my essay? Oh, there you are! [laughs] I must have dozed off. [grabs his paper from his head] Lets see where are we? [holding his paper with a word "The" is still there, puts the paper down on the desk] Do I dare look at the clock... [slowly looks at the clock and gasps] It's almost nine o'clock! Class starts in five minutes. How am I gonna write this whole paper in five minutes? How am I supposed to know what not to do at a stoplight? Feeding your snail is something not to do at a stoplight! [Writing] And making a sandwich, and lighting candles, and drinking water, and calling your friends, and karate chopping the TV, and shootin' the breeze with the mailman, and fallin' asleep... [Bubble transition to SpongeBob running to the boating school] Mrs. Puff! Mrs. Puff! I'm finished! All eight hundred words! I'm finished! Here it is! [goes inside, but nobody is there] Mrs. Puff? Where is everybody?
• Mrs. Puff: Oh, there you are, SpongeBob.
• SpongeBob: Here you go, Mrs. Puff! Eight hundred words! All about stoplights and what not to do at 'em.
• Mrs. Puff: I'm sorry, SpongeBob. I tried to call you... I have to go to a teacher's convention.
• SpongeBob: But what about my essay?
• Mrs. Puff: I decided to cancel the assignment. We're just going to take a field trip to a stoplight instead. See you next week!

Words: 660 | Page: 1 | 4 min read

The essay explores the character of SpongeBob SquarePants, a beloved animated character from the television series of the same name. SpongeBob is described as a positive, outgoing, and well-dressed sea sponge who lives in Bikini Bottom with his pet snail Gary. The essay provides an overview of SpongeBob's characteristics, including his friendliness, optimism, loyalty, and gullibility, which have endeared him to both children and adults.

It highlights SpongeBob's strong work ethic and his love for his job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, despite his comically terrible driving skills. SpongeBob's sweet and selfless nature is emphasized, particularly in his interactions with the often rude Squidward and his visits to his grandma.

The essay also delves into SpongeBob's innocent and playful side, noting his love for jellyfishing with Patrick and his tendency to engage in random and silly behavior. However, it also touches on his sensitivity and emotional nature, recounting instances where he cried easily in response to criticism or harsh words.

[ edit ] Dialogue

(At Mrs. Puff's Boating School, the bell rings)

Mrs. Puff : OK, class, quiet, quiet. Now, get out your pencils and paper, and write down the assignment. (students groan)

SpongeBob : Did you hear that? We get an assignment! (Nat gives an annoyed look)

Mrs. Puff : Everyone must write an essay on what not to do at a stoplight. (students groan again)

SpongeBob : Did you hear that? What not to do at a Stoplight. (Nat glares at him)

Mrs. Puff : In no less than 800 words. (squeals. Students groan again)

Nat : (acting like SpongeBob): Did you hear that? 800 words!

SpongeBob : Yeah, I know! (Nat frowns in annoyance)

Mrs. Puff : Due tomorrow. And remember, class: work hard, and no goofing off. (back at SpongeBob's house)

SpongeBob : OK, Gary, no goofing off. I am about to write the greatest essay of all time. Like most great essays, it will be written on paper. (Shows two pieces) Even more important than the paper is... (shows a pencil) ...the pencil. A pencil is sharp or as dull as I like. (To the pencil) Hmm.. funny thing, as my ideas grow, you shrink. (kisses the pencil) Well, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to write an essay. (looks at window. It's colorful outside) OK, here we go. (begins writing) "What Not to Do at a Stoplight". Hey, this is easy! "By SpongeBob SquarePants". Ha, this essay is pure gold. And now, pencil, get ready to do your stuff, because here we go! (the clock is shown. Several hours pass and SpongeBob has not written anything else) Gee, this is harder than I thought. (in a deleted scene, he looks outside. There is a carnival. Squidward is suntanning. A kid is eating ice cream. Jellyfish are playing tennis. Gary is playing with a ball. Patrick is rubbing Sandy with sunscreen)

Patrick : Come on, SpongeBob!

SpongeBob : It should be against the law to have to write an essay on such a super sailorific, sunshiny day. (groans) But I must press onward. Because with this pencil, and the completion of this essay, I'll be one step closer to my driver's license! (a live-action drag race is shown. A car hits a wall, tumbles, and gets back up. Cut back to SpongeBob) Oh, yeah... This'll be no problemo. Why, I've got plenty of time. It's only six o'clock! Okay, okay, here we go. Here we go. (SpongeBob struggles to write) I know! I just need to get a little blood pumpin' in the old noodle. How about some calisthenics? (does calisthenics. While doing it, he recites "Hup hoo" several times) I can feel those juices pumpin' now.

(some time later, SpongeBob is finished) Well, I think it's clean enough now. (the kitchen is now chrome) Why, that didn't take too long. It's only... (checks the clock) 10:00! Oh. No more fooling around. I gotta get back to work. Okay, Mr. Essay, I say: prepare to be written! I'm doing it! (begins writing frantically in a montage) I'm doing it!... Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!... And some of these, and some of these!... Almost there and... (drops pencil) done. (sighs in relief) Now, let's see how it looks so far. The... (he has only written the word "The", in a fancy manner) Break time! Pacing always helps me think. (paces around the room) Let's see, only 799 words to go. Think, SpongeBob, think. (looks at the telephone, then at the paper, then back at the phone. Cut to Patrick in bed. His phone rings and he wakes up)

Patrick : Who's that? (picks up phone) Hello?

SpongeBob : Hey, Patrick, what are you up to?

Patrick : Sleeping.

SpongeBob : Uh...Marco!

Patrick : Polo. (hangs up)

SpongeBob : (listening to a dial tone) Yeah, well, I gotta get going, Patrick. Got an important essay to write. (hangs up phone) Sheesh, what a chatterbox. Can't he see that I'm busy? (notices eraser shavings on his paper) I can't write with all these eraser shavings all over my paper! (throws them away) Now they're floating around my thinking space. (blows them away) So long, pesky particles! (they come back, and he chokes on one) I swallowed one! I'm choking! Water! Water!

Mailman : Don't you have a paper to write? (walks away)

SpongeBob : (gulps) How did he know I'm supposed to be writing an essay? (glances back and forth several times, then slides backward into his house, turns and tiptoes in front of the television)

Realistic Fish Head : (speaking on the TV) In other news, local resident SpongeBob SquarePants only has a few hours left to complete his essay. And yet he continues to goof off. (his head leans through the TV screen into SpongeBob's face) When will he learn?

SpongeBob : Hi-yah! (karate chops the TV causing a zap and the glass breaks. The room has a blackout and he lights a candle)

Easy Chair : (SpongeBob turns to it) Hey! SpongeBob, over here! Come on! Take a seat! Put your feet up and relax! (SpongeBob drops the candle on the floor and the fire on the candle goes out)

SpongeBob : (gasps, as the bell rings the clock lights up as he looks at the clock) Oh, no! Midnight! (Panting, he runs in a hallway where the wall is full of paintings of clocks in the style of "Persistence of Memory") Must... get... back to desk! (runs to the table, but it has enlarged. He jumps up) Whew, that was a close call. (notices his pants are missing and he screams) My pants!

Pants : Yoo hoo! Down here!

SpongeBob : You get up here! I gotta get back to work!

Pants : Freedom!

SpongeBob : (runs out the door following the pants) Stop, pants! You get back here this instant! Pants! (The door closes. SpongeBob tries to get back in, but it is locked. He looks in the window. The candle is still lit. The clock's face pops off, revealing a mouth)

Clock : (ghostly voice) Time's up, SpongeBob. (the candle melts into a flame, Flare. SpongeBob gasps)

SpongeBob : Burning!

Flare : (takes SpongeBob's essay paper) Only 799 words to go! (burns the paper and leaps off the table) Hehehehe!

SpongeBob : No! (the inside of his house burns. Screams) What have I done? Help! Help! My house is on fire! (continues running around his burnt house, babbling incoherently, until the house comes to life)

House : SpongeBob, why? Why did you set me on fire, SpongeBob?! Why didn't you just write your essay?! Stop wasting time!

SpongeBob : (wakes up from his nightmare and takes the pencil off his face) Where's my essay! Oh, there you are! I must've dozed off. Let's see, where are we? (the paper only reads "The") Do I dare look at the clock? (looks at the clock, then gasps) It's almost 9:00! Class starts in five minutes! How am I going to write this whole paper in five minutes? How am I supposed to know what not to do at a stoplight? (realizing) Feeding your snail is something not to do at a stoplight! And... (begins writing) ...making a sandwich. And lighting candles! And drinking water! And calling your friends! And karate chopping the TV! And shooting the breeze with the mailman. And falling asleep... (cut to SpongeBob, out of breath, running to the boating school) Mrs. Puff! Mrs. Puff! I'm finished! All 800 words! I'm finished! Here it is! Mrs. Puff? (goes inside, but nobody is there) Where is everybody?

Mrs. Puff : Oh, there you are, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob : Here you go, Mrs. Puff! All 800 words! All about stoplights and what not to do at 'em.

Mrs. Puff : I'm sorry, SpongeBob. I tried to call you! I have to go to a teacher's convention.

SpongeBob : But what about my essay?

Mrs. Puff : Nah, I decided to cancel the assignment. We're just going to take a field trip to a stoplight instead. See you next week! (exits. SpongeBob rips his essay. He then rips himself)
