### Content and plot

Glorb produces their songs using AI technology, replicating the voices of characters from the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. The songs and their associated music videos form an overarching story arc parodying the longtime rivalry between Mr. Krabs and Plankton in the series, portraying both characters as rap artists amidst the backdrop of a gang war, releasing multiple disses towards each other. Besides references to the series and popular culture in general, Glorb's songs are characterized by their wordplay. Except for Karen, the major characters are portrayed as using stage names. "Dumb Bell", performed in-universe by Larry the Lobster (ASAP Larry), is the only Glorb song to date that does not revolve around the ongoing conflict.
"The Formula" is depicted as the instigating diss towards Plankton performed by Krabs, who has adopted the stage name Mr. Swags. The following song, "STD", is performed in-universe by Plankton, who performs under the stage name Dankton. This pattern continues as Krabs and Plankton escalate their rivaly, with Krabs signing SpongeBob (Spongeopp) and Squidward (Squidwock) to form the Krusty Krew ("Krab Walk"; "Fun"; The Bottom"), and Plankton programming Karen to provide backing tracks ("KYS").
The conflict eventually escalates when Plankton brainwashes Patrick (The Notorious P.A.T.) after abducting him ("KFC"). Krabs signs Sandy (Sandy Thee Squirrel), who disses Plankton and begins dating SpongeBob ("MHMM"). The Krew eventually does a drive-by shooting to rescue Patrick, with SpongeBob "killing" Karen in the process ("Eugene"). A grieving Plankton holds a funeral for Karen ("sadkini"), which is virulently mocked by SpongeBob and Squidward ("Killcam"). Karen is later revealed to have endured the shooting and returns to Plankton in a damaged state; Plankton rebuilds Karen into a giant mech, and she goes on a rampage, resulting in SpongeBob being shot and forcing Krabs and Squidward into hiding ("Vengeance"). Consequently, Sandy breaks up with SpongeBob, who goes on the run from police after being discharged from hospital ("Can Gangsters Cry"?) as Plankton conquers Bikini Bottom ("DND"). Eventually, the Krew reform and are able to defeat Karen ("The Bottom 2"). They later collaborate with Plankton on a Christmas song, "White Christmas"; while Squidward releases his own song, "Trendsetter".
Plankton, following the destruction of the Chum Bucket, opens a casino and signs Mrs. Puff (performing simply as Puff) to diss Mr. Krabs; the casino becomes popular, driving customers away from the Krusty Krab ("Mob Ties"). The Krew robs the casino in retaliation, apprehending and defeating Plankton and his head of security, Dennis, in the process ("Ocean's Eleven"). Plankton attempts to murder the Krew in response, but the Krew are rescued by Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Plankton assembles a larger gang to finally defeat the Krew, who likewise prepare accordingly. The ensuing battle results in casualties on either side and culminates in Plankton detonating an atomic bomb on Bikini Bottom ("The Bottom 3").
