Mr. Krabs has Squidward directing a commercial for the Krusty Krab.

After the commercial airs, SpongeBob thinks he is famous after he is addressed by Old Man Jenkins (who actually saw a box of 'Bran Flakes'). Then he hears two fish talk about "Freddy Flounder" and how he should cut a solo record, but SpongeBob again thinks that they are talking about him. He quits being a fry cook and starts entertaining, much to the chagrin of the customers and Squidward. When SpongeBob tries juggling, he accidentally slips and falls on the ground. Just as he thinks that his career is over, a patty drops on the grill. However, the customers are pleased, and SpongeBob actually makes Krabby Patties for them without knowing he is acting as a fry cook.
