Plot
This episode starts with the narrator talking about a tragedy, and showing an over-water hurricane, and then showing footage of the 1940 collapse of Tacoma Narrows Bridge (Galloping Gertie), with a guy running from the bridge before its collapse. After that, it goes to a rainy day at SpongeBob's pineapple. He is inside with the calender on January 10. The narrator said that the tragity happened 3 days ago. It then flips it back to January 7. SpongeBob is then doing chores, including laundry, with his pants and Gary's shell. Then Patrick calls SpongeBob, showing that he can say "Loolooloolooloo" for a very long time. Meanwhile, Gary gets his shell out of the laundry. By the time SpongeBob gets to the laundry machine, his pants had shrunk. He goes to the store to buy new ones, but Patty Rechid says there won't be any SquarePants for months. He then looks through the pants, he tries many pairs but was not interested, but he then finds the pants he usually wears, except they are round, not square. He bumps into Patrick, but Patrick doesn't recognize SpongeBob. He bumps into Sandy, who pretends that she does not know SpongeBob saying that they must call him SpongeBob FancyPants. Then, SpongeBob passes Squidward's house, and Squidward pretends not to recognize SpongeBob in order to get him to leave him alone. Being gullible, SpongeBob really thinks that Sandy and Squidward do not know SpongeBob, so he starts himself over, naming himself SpongeBob RoundPants. SpongeBob gets his job at the Krusty Krab again, and looks to Squidward for pointers. Squidward gives SpongeBob his bad routine of being a Krusty Krab employee (including not throwing the trash in the dumpster, being rude to the customers, nazaly laughing like Squidward, burning krabby patties, taking too long in the bathroom, and even sleeping on the job). Mr. Krabs realizes what is going on, and he does not joke around when he sees SpongeBob. SpongeBob then tells Mr. Krabs that he cannot be SpongeBob SquarePants again, as he has round pants. Krabs then suggests that he just remove them if that was the case. Then, SpongeBob takes off his pants, but Sandy calls SpongeBob "SpongeBob UnderPants", and the episode ends with SpongeBob's scream with embarrassment.

Errors

 * After SpongeBob said, "I'll have to start all over again!", he just filled out an application and got the job. However in "Help Wanted", he didn't ask for an application. He had to complete a challenge first.
 * At the start of the episode, SpongeBob was wearing his normal pants even though the cashier of the clothes store said he wasn't getting a shipment for months. This is a possible conclusion that the French Narrator made a miscalculation when he said it was a few days ago. Reply: SpongeBob could've been able to make his pants grow with the Kelp Grow from "Giant Squidward."
 * The women at the mall said that it will take months to get new square pants, however 3 days later (at the beginning of the episode's narration), he had square pants again.
 * SpongeBob shouldn't seem to have been allowed in the store wearing his underwear.
