[edit] Plot
SpongeBob sees a commercial about buying Mr. Magic's magical magic set and decides to order it, and places the envelope into the mailbox. Four to six weeks later, the mailfish puts the magic kit (as well as SpongeBob himself) in SpongeBob´s mailbox. Meanwhile Squidward is sunbathing and SpongeBob wants to do a card trick for him. While SpongeBob is busy reading the magic book, Squidward gets into a bus and tells the driver to take him anywhere far away from his house. Then Tom and his son drive by. The son is upset because he got pistachio ice cream, but his father can't understand why since that's the flavor he asked for. The ice cream cone is tossed out of the boatmobile and lands in Squidward´s chair.
Spongebob stops reading the magic book, sees the ice cream cone and comes to the conclusion that he turned Squidward into that ice cream cone! At first he is delighted at the thought that he is a level ten magician, but after some unsuccessful attempts at changing "Squidward" back, he becomes worried. So he puts the "Squidward" cone in the freezer and puts a strawberry cone in too so he'll have company. Then Patrick arrives and while Spongebob is explaining the situation, Patrick is eating the "Squidward" ice cream cone. Aghast, Spongebob stops him and they go to see Mr. Magic (the maker of the magic set SpongeBob bought). Spongebob tells the a floating fish head (fake Mr. Magic) what he did, and while Mr. Magic is making excuses about why he can't help him, Patrick discovers a fish talking through a microphone. The fish says he can't do magic and only made the kits to earn money. Then Spongebob becomes hysterical over that he was a fake and Mr. Magic calls security and he and Patrick are thrown out. They return home where Spongebob is again hysterical over what has just happened. In despair, SpongeBob starts to shout magic words and as he does, Squidward comes home and tosses the melted ice cream away. SpongeBob opens his eyes and, seeing Squidward standing there, believes he has successfully changed him back. He then asks to turn Squidward into something else. Squidward runs away and hops onto a fish's motorcycle. Patrick asks SpongeBob to turn him into a jar of mayonnaise so he can eat himself, and amazingly, it works.
[edit] Quotes
- SpongeBob: Hey Squid, are you okay? (winks) Hey Squid, are you still okay? (winks) AAHH! (laughs)
- (Tom is driving with his son)
- Timmy: *crying* But I don't like Pistachio!
- Tom: Then why did you ask for it?!? (They drive over a rock, making the ice cream cone fly out of Timmy's hand. Timmy starts crying louder, and Tom starts to get very depressed.)
- Spongebob: This is not your ordinary ice cream cone!
- Patrick: It's pistachio.
- Charlie: Don't forget platitudinous! *looks at the word "platitudinous" above him in awe*
- Patrick: Warning, from ages 9 to 99. *looks at the ripped up box in confusion*
- Patrick: Hi, Spongebob, whatcha doing?
- Spongebob: I have turned poor Squidward into a frozen dessert.
- Patrick: That's awful. How tragic. Poor Squidward.
- Spongebob: It's all my fault.
- Patrick: Did you say frozen dessert? (takes the green ice-cream cone out of the freezer)
- Spongebob: Yeah. I turned him into a tasty soft-serve with a waffle cone. (cries)
- Patrick: Oh...soft serve. (licks ice cream cone)
- Spongebob: Patrick! Stop eating Squidward!
- Patrick: Oh, sorry. (licks it a few more times)
- Spongebob: Patrick! (Patrick licks it again) Pat...
- Patrick: But he's so tasty! (licks it many more times before Spongebob takes it)
- Spongebob: Look, Patrick, don't you understand?! This isn't just your ordinary ice-cream cone.
- Patrick: It's pistachio.
- Spongebob: WHAT HAVE I DONE? OW! WHAT HAVE I DONE? OW!, It's all your fault! Mr. Magic was a fake!
[edit] Cultural References
- One of SpongeBob's sayings to "turn Squidward back to normal" he says "Oklie-Dokille" is Ned Flander's catchpharse on The Simpsons.
- When Spongebob and Patrick visit Mr. Magic, it spoofs The Wizard of Oz especially with it being an ordinary fish than what he looks like in the commercial. "Pay no attention to your friend" might parody the infamous quote, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain," from "The Wizard of Oz". Plus, SpongeBob and Patrick walked up the brown tiled road to Mr. Magic's House and its address was 1942 Wizard st, like how Dorthy walk up the yellow brick road to Emerald City.
[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- It is revealed the short blue fish with a red swimming suit's name is Charlie.
- The mailfish says that Spongebob received "another one of these yellow things" (actually Spongebob) which could mean that he has sent by post many times.
- It is revealed that Tom has a son. His son is the same boy who was called "Timmy" in "SquidBob TentaclePants."
- Spongebob put a strawberry cone next to Squidward to keep him company (the strawberry cone could be a reference that the strawberry cone is a girl).
- Things seen in Spongebob's Magic Kit:
- Wand of Whimsy
- Magic License
- "The Beard of Res Beuton" (a play on Rasputin)
- Playing Cards
- Book of Spells
- Balls
- Spongebob says he is a level 10 wizard after discovering he turned Squidward into an ice cream cone. When he meets Mr. Magic, he says he is a level 1 magician, going against what he said earlier, unless he demoted himself when he could not undo the spell. Another theory is that a level 1 magician is the same as a level 10 wizard.
- In "Have You Seen this Snail?" Spongebob neglected Gary for 10 days. The mailfish said that spongebob has been mailed several times. If this is true he would have been gone for 4-6 weeks many times without Gary running away.
- Fourth appearance of mayonaise in the series. The first time was in Nature Pants, and second time was in Hooky, and the third time was in Just One Bite.
