SpongeBob and Patrick get their new reef blowers and start blowing and sucking things with them, then they suck up Squidward's windows and door. When Squidward shouts to have them back, They shoot out the items, and end up destroying Squidward's house. Squidward gets fed up with Patrick and SpongeBob. He finds out about a village called Tentacle Acres where many squids live happily in these houses which look exactly the same as his house. He moves and 'the fun' starts when he goes biking, doing grocery shopping, dancing and clarinet playing practice. He gets to do the same thing E V E R Y D A Y. Until he just gets tired of the routine and seeing a reef blower unattended to,starts irritating his neighbors with it. They corner him and present him with their complaints about him just at the same moment SpongeBob and Patrick finally make their entrance to the village. They thought every squid in the place was Squidward and when they're very near, Squidward just blows himself out of the village. SpongeBob then says to Patrick, "Well, we know one thing, it sure isn't that guy."

[edit] Quotes

Squidward: (SpongeBob and Patrick have just trashed his house) SpongeBob, this is the final straw! I am going to move so far away that I am going to be able to brag about it. I would- Ow! (gets hit by piece of debris) I would rather tear out my brainstem, walk out into the middle of the nearest 4-way intersection and skip rope with it than go on living where I do now!

TV announcer (Squid): Hi there! Is this the final straw? Do you want to move so far away that you can brag about it? Would you rather tear out your brainstem, walk out into the middle of the nearest 3-way...

Squidward: 4-Way!!

TV Announcer: ...4-way intersection and skip rope with it than continue living where you do now? Then move to...(The TV turns to static)

Patrick : (holding remote control) I hate this channel!

Squidward: No! No! Change it back!

TV Announcer: .....Tentacle Acres! Where happiness is just a suction cup away.

Squidward: ...Heaven at last! (bumps into a Tentacle Acres resident).

Resident: I've seen more alert people at a retirement home!

Squidward: Oh! Which way to the nearest "Living Without a Brain" seminar?! Don't be late!!

Resident: I've heard better comebacks from a turkey sandwich! Get a life!! (Resident walks away)

Squidward: This place is better than I expected!

SpongeBob: (Squidward runs past) That looked like Squidward! (Mob runs past) That looked like Squidward also, in angry mob form!
Patrick: (To fire hydrant) Are you Squidward? That's okay, take your time.

Tentacle Acres seems to be a comic version of Thomas Mores Utopia.

In whole, Squidward seems to have spent fourteen days at Tentacle Acres.
When Patrick says, "Ying!" some captions say "Yay!"
The octopi in Tentacle Acres are all redesigns Squidward's basic character design.
