Things are going well at the Krusty Krab. Everyone is enjoying their Krabby Patties, until an alarm blares. Everyone is panicking, and Mr. Krabs shouts to Squidward "Can you spot him?"

Squidward, looking through a telescope, replies "down there sir!" A small Krabby Patty mysteriously bounces to a wall, then makes a hole in it with a laser. It goes outside, and SpongeBob chases after it. After a long chase, SpongeBob finally catches the Krabby Patty, which is being stolen by Plankton. Plankton walks off looking really sad, and SpongeBob befriends him. A police fish makes SpongeBob 'Rookie of the day', and everyone sings 'For he's a jolly good rookie'. SpongeBob invites Plankton to jellyfish with him, and, realising he can take advantage of SpongeBob, Plankton goes. SpongeBob warns Plankton to "watch out for the stingers". As soon as he says this, Plankton imagines himself controlling a giant jellyfish shooting laser-like electricity everywhere. Plankton doesn't know what fun is, so SpongeBob tries to explain it by singing the F.U.N. song. Plankton makes up a version of his own, but SpongeBob interrupts him, claiming that "those things aren't what fun is all about!". Eventually, Plankton and SpongeBob sing the song together, and Plankton seems to finally be having fun. He is feeling all tingly inside and asks SpongeBob "Can we stop?" SpongeBob explains that this is how "fun" is supposed to feel. Plankton realizes that he likes the feeling, and the two sing the F.U.N. song 2. When Mr. Krabs finds out what's happening, he sets up a trap. They go to the cinema together, and Mr. Krabs shouts "reach into his pocket now and take what he's got!". Everyone reaches into each other's pockets and finds money. SpongeBob reaches into Plankton's pocket and finds a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob realises that Plankton used him to get a Krabby Patty, and Plankton runs off with it. However, he does not know that behind the cinema screen is a concrete wall (the movie said "Oh darling, I know nothing's gonna tear us apart.", which is ironically just what happens because of Plankton). Plankton is squashed, and Mr. Krabs flicks him off the wall onto Bubble Bass's hand, who mistakes Plankton for a jellybean and chases him around his hand.

USAGE NOTE The use of fun as an attributive adjective, as in a fun time, a fun place, probably originated in a playful reanalysis of the use of the word in sentences such as It is fun to ski, where fun has the syntactic function of adjectives such as amusing or enjoyable.
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome.
for the fun of it por pura diversión
