After many years of feeling hopeless in his dreams of achieving musical fame, Squidward's brother, Slim Squidy, tells him that he just got invited to perform at The Coral City Bubble Bowl. Squidward sees this as his chance of achieving his dreams, and decided to perform alongside him. 
== Story ==
Squidward was sitting in his living room, all alone, with a few bottles of beer, watching TV. "It's hopeless, squidy! You've spent your whole life yearning for the day you'll finally achieve stardom! To show the whole world who Squidward Tentacles is! And that day STILL hasn't come!" Squidward said to himself. Squidward let out a large sigh. He took a a few swigs from his beer bottle, and contemplated his life decisions. Squidward switched to some porn channel. "Might as well satisfy myself!" He thought to himself.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Who the h*ll is that!?" Squidward shouted.
Squidward opened the door, to find his brother, Slim Squidy, waiting. 
"Well it to ya long enough!" Slim teased.
"SLIM! What the f*ck do you want!" Squidward shouted back.
Slim handed Squidward a letter, that stated: You are invited to come perform at the Coral City Bubble Bowl tonight!
Squidward gasped out of pure shock. "How the f*ck where YOU invited to to the d*mn Bubble Bowl!" Squidward asked. 
"Something you don't have called talent." Slim responded in a sarcastic tone. "Please let me come!" Squidward pleaded.
"That's actually why I'm here. You see, I'm allowed to have background artist. And I thought, well-" "PLEASE PICK ME!" Squidward shouted before Slim could even finish. "Sure little bro!" Slim replied. "YIPEEE!" Squidward shouted. He leapt for joy, laughing like a maniac. "Just, don't f*ck with my show!" He requested.
Squidward and Slim began rehearsing in Squidward's living room. Squidward read through Slim's lyrics. "Slim, I've gotta say, these lyrics are surprisingly deep! Although I think we should get rid of the one where you kill your ex-wife!" Squidward complimented. "Who's saying I didn't actually!?" Slim responded. Squidward chuckled. "That's a good one Slim!" Squidward confessed. Slim's eyes began darting around the room, while sweating. 
"Alright, let's quit f*ckin' around and get started!" Slim shouted. Slim began fastly rapping the lyrics. Squidward began flipping through the lyric sheet, trying to keep up. Slim eventually stopped. "Ya got all dat!" He asked. Squidward looked at him like he was crazy. "I couldn't understand a single d*mn thing you said!" Squidward replied, dumbfounded. 
"Well ya better learn to catch up!" Slim replied back. Squidward took a huge gulp. He grabbed a beer bottle. "I'm going to be needing this!" He said under his breath. "Oh and by the way, your clarinet playing SUCKS!"
A couple hours later, it was time to get ready. Squidward looked in the mirror. "Look squiddy! This is your big chance! Don't screw it up!" He told himself. He grabbed his clarinet and got his best tuxedo on. Slim walked into the bedroom wearing street clothes and no shirt. His chest was littered with tattoos. "Where's your outfit!" Squidward said, looking dumbfounded. "This IS my outfit yo!" Slim hissed back. "Where's yours's?!" He continued. "There is no way I'm going out in public dressed like THAT!" He shouted back. The two argued for the next hour until Squidward realized they where running late. "Yeah, try changin' the subject and think I don't notice! Ya dumb motherf*cker!" Slim hissed. 
They arrived at the Bubble Bowl. The duo headed into the dressing room only to realize that they accidently where dropped off at a strip club. Naked firsh where everywhere. Squidward panicked because he thought people would think he's a male stripper. Squidward ran out while Slim walked off with the scantily clad she-fishes. A half-hour later, Slim came back from the club, completely in his underpants. "Welp, let's head to the show!" He said. And the two walked off. 
They arrived at the stadium, which was flooded with fish of all shapes and sizes. "Hi Mr. Squidward!" A deep voice boomed from the crowd. "Who the f*ck is that!?" Slim asked. "My roommate! Patrick Jr!" Squidward responded. A short, fat, purple sea star immerged from the crowd. "Hi Mr. Squidward! It's me!" He shouted. "Bottom feeder.." Squidward mumbled. 
Squidward and Slim got onstage and began to perform. The crowed remained silent. It wasn't until half-way through the performance that somebody said "HEY YOU TWO F*CKIN' SUCK MY A*S!". 
The two where then booed off stage. Everyone was throwing things at them, besides Patrick Jr who was still cheering. 
Squidward began to cry in the bus. "They all hated us!" He whined. "You mean they hated YOU!" Slim responded. "NO! They hated you!" Squidward shouted back. They two continued to argue as the bus road off into the sunset, with Patrick Jr running behind it cheering.
== Reception ==
Reception was mostly mixed. With some finding it good and entertaining while some found it a huge headache. The special did well financially and made WHAT?! Studios a huge sum of money!
== Trivia ==
* Slim Squidy is a super well-hidden and very subtle reference to Slim Shady.
* The DVD for this episode also featured a version of Eminem's hit single "My Name Is", but it featured Eminem doing a bad Squidward impression through the whole d*mn song.
* The concert scene would be referenced in a actual SpongeBob episode: "Band Geeks".
