Synopsis
Truth or Square finds SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs accidentally locked inside the Krusty Krab's giant freezer on the day of the restaurant's big "eleventy seventh" anniversary celebration. As they crawl through the complex ventilation system trying to escape, the friends look back on shared memories through never-before-seen flashback moments. Highlights include SpongeBob's first visit to the Krusty Krab as a baby, a vintage Krusty Krab TV commercial, how SpongeBob found his beloved pineapple house and the time that SpongeBob and Sandy got married!
The special is hosted by Patchy the Pirate, President of the SpongeBob Fan Club (Encino Chapter), who sets off for Burbank, California hoping to finally meet his long-time idol, SpongeBob, and ask him to be the guest of honor on his television special. While trying to track down SpongeBob, Patchy also pursues SpongeBob's celebrity fans and tries to persuade them to also appear on the big show.
