Born to be Riled

Spongebob's friends become offended by his impersonations of them, and retaliate by impersonating him.
== Plot ==
On their way to the Bikini Bottom Mall, Spongebob notices a "golden moment" when she spots Ferret walking down the hall with his nose in a screen using his smartphone, and imitates him for Sandy and Patrick by using his bag in place of the phone. They laugh hysterically at her impersonation, but Ferret is none too pleased. Spongebob responds, "Private joke!" The three girls dash off to the cafeteria. During lunch period, all three friends have brought their own unique lunches; Patrick brought a chili fries, slice of pepperoni pizza, and orange pop in a bottle; Sandy brought a Wings with Celery and Ranch Dip; Spongebob brought a Krabby Patty, French Fries, and Fizzo. Spongebob entertains them by cracking jokes.
He notices Squidward walking by and yells, "Squid!" The startled Squidward tosses aside his cafeteria lunch and takes cover under a table. When he hears Patrick and Sandy laughing at him, he tells them, "Hysterical, very hysterical," and puts his scattered lunch back on the tray. Spongebob approaches him, wearing a blue bald cap, brown shirt, and a nose, and he asks, "Who do you think you are?" He responds that he is Squidward Tentacles. They then argue with each other on who is really Squidward, as Spongebob imitates Squidward's voice, "I'm a silly blue squid with an ego the size of Nevada." A flustered Squidward repeats what he had said, claiming that to be him and not him, and as he realizes what he had just said about himself, Spongebob walks off and tells him that he is right. Squidward tosses his lunch aside again and throws a tantrum, losing his shirt. Sandy and Patrick are impressed with the funny sponge. Squidward walks by, carrying his torn shirt, and tells him that he is naming his first ulcer after her, causing Spongebob, Patrick and Sandy to burst into laughter).
Sandy requests an impersonation of Zig from Spongebob, and he obliges. He hops up on the table and says, imitating Zig's voice, "Spongy yummy," sticks out his tongue and begins spinning around the cafeteria. Zig spins through the doors into the lunch room and Spongebob spins up to him. He taps her and he stops spinning, as the puzzled hyena asks her why he is doing that. He answers that he is just ribbing him and nudges him in the chest. He asks, "Ribbon?" Spongebob responds by tying a bunch of pink ribbons across his head and showing him how "adorable" he is through his pocket mirror. Zig says, "Yuck," and sticks out his tongue, but in doing so, he reveals that he his tongue has a pink ribbon tied to it as well. Spongebob grabs his tongue and stretches it out of his mouth, as several more ribbons are also tied further back on it as well. He then lets go of it, sending it flying back into his mouth and knocking him over.
Spongebob walks back to their table and comments, "I can't help myself," to Patrick. The Starfish laughs at the talented sponge's witty humor and requests that he imitates someone else. Spongebob pulls out a krabby patty and caresses its green foliage, mocking Patrick's voice and her affection for boys. Patrick is not too pleased, but Sandy believes it to be "dead on". Spongebob then appears to be levitating behind them, but she is actually risen by a stack of books. He mocks Sandy's voice and his "past lifes," temporarily removing his head as well. Both Sandy and Patrick are steaming mad. Sandy walks off, and before leaving the cafeteria, she tells Spongebob that if she wasn't so centered, she would be angry, then slams the door, shattering the glass in its small window. Patrick tells Spongebob that he "stinks" and "coming from a starfish, that's some insult," and storms off as well. Spongebob wonders if she unwillingly upset her friends, but quickly shrugs it off with a "Nah."
That night, Patrick is inside his rock talking on the phone to Sandy, who is levitating inside her home with incense burning, complaining about Spongebob's treatment of them earlier at the mall. The screen is split two ways, one side for Patrick and one side for Sandy, but Squidward calls Sandy and she takes it, causing the screen to be split threes way between them. Squidward, who is sewing his shirt back on, is angered and wants to know what's with her "sponge-ridden rodent" friend, but then he gets a call and takes it. Zig, sitting on a sand, speaking through one sea shell and hearing out of the other, is on the other line, causing the screen to now be split four ways, and is griping about Spongebob hurting his feeling. He gets a call and it's Ferret, as the screen is split five ways and squeezes them together, he asked Sandy, Patrick, Squidward and Zig when he said, "HELLO!" Zig wonders who is on the other line.
Patrick complains about the screen being too cramped, as Sandy remarks that she may have possibly been one of the Hollywood Squares in a past life. Patrick wonder what they should do about Babs, as they all simultaneously respond, "I got an idea," then, with a devious grin.
The next day, Spongebob enters the food court and yells, "I'm here," but the entire place is empty. She remarks that they must be serving "mystery meat" today, then sits down and opens her lunchbox. Suddenly, Sandy, Patrick, Squidward, and Zig, all painted in yellow and wearing white shirt, red tie that look exactly like Spongebob' color, complete with brown shorts, enter the food court and take turns duplicating his frequently used quirky comments. Spongebob is not too thrilled about this, and as they crowd around her on the table, se explodes and yells, "Cut it out," sending them all flying away from him. Him peers over to the front doors, where the window that Sandy broke earlier now has boards nailed up around it. Ferret, wearing the same set of clothes, and said to him, "I'M NOT AS DUMB AS YOU LOOK!" then he said, "I'M SPONGEBOB."
They all taunt the infuriated sponge by dancing around him, as Zig ties more bows on his head, which is similar to what he did to him earlier. He looks up to at the bows, laughs, and removes the extra bows. He responds to them, "Okay, I really do get the point. You've had enough of me making fun of you, right?" They all shout out simultaneously with a resounding "Right!" so Spongebob promises to never make fun of her friends again. They all cheer and are happy over this, but Babs had her fingers crossed behind her back when she promised.
