“SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash,” the episode in which Davis starred, can be seen for a small fee. – Do you think I can cost this and my editors will approve? is a clip show where guest star and theme song singer Patchy the Pirate plays his favorite SpongeBob skits for castaway Ron (Jon Heder from Napoleon Dynamite). That part of the post, though, is probably not of interest to you if you are reading it.

Here are some more screengrabs from the episode that are too surreal for even Photoshop.

Just before the halfway point of the show, an entirely expressionless Anthony Davis (who can be seen in the article’s main photograph) launches himself onto a Lakers-colored yacht and jet skis to the island where Patchy and Ron are pretending to be SpongeBob characters. Following his introduction, Davis beams and waves. It appears that Patchy sent him a note in a bottle inviting him to the SpongeBob Appreciation Day Party.

The majority of this can be seen in the video above, where Davis is vying for a Golden Globe by famously saying things like, “after the party, I will take us all home on my fancy yacht,” and then swearing at “barnacles” and “tartar sauce” when unexpected asteroids destroy his jet ski and yacht.

When shipwrecked singer Meghan Trainor and her backup dancers arrive on the island, Davis is imprisoned there with Patchy and Ron, watching Patchy act out SpongeBob video. At that point, Davis yells, “Meghan Trainor and her backup dancers on a piece of cruise ship wreckage?” That is how exposition through dialogue should be written.

They all carry on celebrating SpongeBob until a quarrel breaks out over who is favorite scene. Davis defends the widely recognized scene in which Patrick Star “loses” his wallet, telling Trainor that “it had relatability.” This is funny when you take into account Davis’s own experience of misplacing his wallet at a Los Angeles movie theater and then finding it again when he joined the Laker team.

Only when Abraham Lincoln (played gravely by former “Daily Show” correspondent Rob Riggle) arrives with a viewer-voted countdown of the top three SpongeBob moments does the tense conflict end.

Lincoln then attaches an engine to the island and drives it away, saving everyone from being stuck with Patchy forever. Yes, everything in this synopsis is true, and yes—spoken to Danny Green and Alex Caruso—after writing it, I will most likely be given a “random” drug test.

In all seriousness, this special has everything you’d expect for a clip show. Celebrities that sound like they’re reading off cue cards, a completely insane plot and a ton of fun memories about a show I — and likely many of you — grew up loving. I cannot believe I didn’t know Anthony Davis was on SpongeBob before today, but I’m glad I found out, and LeBron James now has a high bar to top with his performance in “Space Jam 2.”
