== Transcript ==
[Exterior shot of the pineapple. Daddy Pig and Gary 3 are sitting on the couch.]
Gary 3: So, the lowest level of the globe theater was reserved for the groundlings, who were the lower class people who came out to enjoy-
[SpongeBob enters, visibly distraught.]
SpongeBob: You guys! I'm sorry I'm late, but my mom slammed my hand in the car door!!!
[SpongeBob pulls out a severed hand and starts screaming in agony. Daddy Pig and Gary 3 stare unfazed, and SpongeBob suddenly bursts out into a fit of laughter.]
SpongeBob: APRIL FOOLS!
[He laughs as he reveals that the hand is a fake and his actual hand is perfectly fine.]
SpongeBob: YEAH!!!!
Gary 3: What are you, five years old?
Daddy Pig: Really?
SpongeBob: But today’s April Fools’ Day.
Gary 3: We don’t care.
Daddy Pig: April Fools’ Day is kinda for, you know, little kids.
Gary 3: That’s how we all feel.
[Gary 3 and Daddy Pig high-five.]
SpongeBob: But this school is so full of creative people! I thought for sure April Fool’s day would be a big deal here.
[Daddy Pig stands up.]
Daddy Pig: WELL IT’S NOT, TORI! SO SHUT YOUR FACE AND LET MR. BELDING TEACH!
Mr. Belding: Thank you, Zack. Now, as Screech was saying, a world without pants is like a donut-
[The TV suddenly turns on.]
Perch Perkins: (on TV) This is Perch Perkins with a breaking news report for BBN! Ken Stringfellow has escaped from solitary confinement! All the kids are crying! We go live to the scene now with reporter Diezel Raccoon. I love you so much, Diezel.
[Cut to Diezel Raccoon outside Bikini Bottom Prison.]
Ken Stringfellow: (on TV) augh im so free
Diezel Raccoon: (on TV) UwU! That Kenneth is such a silly billy! 
Perch Perkins: (on TV) Annoying Orange, do you have anything to say to our viewers at home who might be reasonably concerned about this revelation?
Annoying Orange: (on TV) Well, obviously we have a Stringfellow in Bikini Bottom. He's climbing in your windows, choppin’ yo’ people up. Choppin’ choppin’. So you better hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your kids, hide your wife And hide your husbands 'cos he's slicing everybody out there. You don't have to come and confess. We're looking for you. We're gonna find you. We're gonna find you. So you can run and tell that, run and tell that, run and tell that, knife, knife, knife, knife, knife.
Peppa Pig Narrator: Oh dear. Ken Stringfellow is on the loose!
Daddy Pig: MEOWCH!
SpongeBob: That’s terrible news!
Gary 3: Do you guys like Among Us?
[Suddenly, Rishi Sunak bursts into the pineapple riding a helicopter.]
SpongeBob: RISHI SUNAK?!
Rishi Sunak: Come with me if you wanna live.
Daddy Pig: But why?
Rishi Sunak: We have to stop that Stringfellow and save Bikini Bottom. It’s the only way.
SpongeBob: But it’s April Fools’ Day!
Rishi Sunak: THERE’S NO TIME, MAN! WE HAVE TO GO FIND KEN STRINGFELLOW!
Daddy Pig: I think I’m having an aneurysm.
Perch Perkins: (on TV) BREAKING NEWS! Ken Stringfellow slipped on a banana peel and is now back in custody! All the kids are cheering!
[That stock sound effect of children cheering plays. You know the one.]
Daddy Pig: BRILLIANT! I knew Ken wouldn’t be out for long.
Rishi Sunak: Oh thank God. I’m supposed to be having sex right now. Cheerio!
[Rishi Sunak flies off in his helicopter.]
SpongeBob: Whew, that was scary! Now we can get back to celebrating April Fools’ Day!
Gary 3: We already told you, it’s for little kids! So just leave us alone and let us have a normal day!
[Andrew Tate cums in and does the epic child p*** dance.]
SpongeBob: Oh hi Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate: Hey Johnny, what’s up?
Johnny: I have a problem with Lisa. She says that I hit her.
Andrew Tate: What? Well did you?
Johnny: No, it’s not true! Don’t even ask! What’s new with you?
Andrew Tate: Well I’m just sitting up here thinking, you know? I got a question for you.
Johnny: Yeah.
Andrew Tate: You think girls like to cheat like guys do?
Johnny: What makes you say that?
Andrew Tate: I dunno. I dunno, I’m just, I’m just thinking.
Johnny: I don’t have to worry about that because Lisa is loyal to me.
Andrew Tate: Yeah man, you never know. People are very strange these days. I used to know a girl, she had a dozen guys. I found out about it and beat her up so bad she ended up in a hospital on Guerrero Street.
Johnny: HAHAHA! What a story, Andrew Tate!
Andrew Tate: Yeah, you can say that again.
Johnny: I’m so happy I have you as my best friend, and I love Lisa so much.
Andrew Tate: Yeah, man. Yeah, you are very lucky.
Johnny: Well maybe you should have a girl, Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate: Yeah… Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe I have one already. I don’t know yet.
Johnny: Well, what happened? Remember Betty? That’s her name?
Andrew Tate: Betty?
Johnny: Yeah.
Andrew Tate: Yeah, we don’t see each other anymore. You know, she wasn’t any good in bed. She was beautiful, but we had too many arguments.
Johnny: That’s too bad. My Lisa is great when I can get it.
Andrew Tate: Oh, man, I just can’t figure women out. Sometimes they’re just too smart, sometimes they’re just flat-out stupid, other times they’re just evil.
Johnny: It seems to me like you’re the EXPERT, Andrew Tate!
Andrew Tate: No. Definitely not an expert, Johnny.
Johnny: What’s bothering you, Andrew Tate?
Andrew Tate: Nothing, man.
Johnny: Do you, do you have some secrets? Why don’t you tell me?
Andrew Tate: Forget it! Forget it, dude!
Johnny: Is there some secret? Tell me!
Andrew Tate: No, forget it, I’ll talk to you later!
[Andrew Tate hands off the football to Johnny and exits. Denny enters, passing Andrew Tate.]
Denny: Hey Johnny.
Johnny: Oh hi, Denny.
Denny: What’s wrong with Andrew Tate?
Johnny: He’s cranky today. Hahaha! Girl trouble, I guess. What’s new with you?
Denny: Not much. Still going to the movie tonight?
Johnny: Sure, we are.
Denny: What kind of movie are we going to see?
Johnny: Well we’ll see… Denny, don’t plan too much. It may not come out right.
Denny: Alright. Let’s toss the ball around.
Johnny: Okay.
[They start tossing an American football around while talking.]
Denny: Gotta tell you about something.
Johnny: Shoot, Denny.
Denny: It’s about Lisa.
Johnny: Go on.
Denny: She’s beautiful. She looks great in a red dress. I think I’m in love with her.
Johnny: Go on.
Denny: I know she doesn’t like me because sometimes she’s mean to me, but sometimes when I’m around her, I feel like I want to kiss her and tell her I love her. I don’t know. I’m just confused.
Johnny: Denny, don’t worry about that. Lisa loves you too. As a person, as a human being, as a friend. You know people don’t have to say it. They can feel it.
Denny: What do you mean?
Johnny: You can love someone deep inside your heart, and there is nothing wrong with it. If a lot of people loved each other, the world would be a better place to live.
Denny: Lisa’s your future wife!
Johnny: Denny, don’t worry about it. You are part of our family, and we love you very much. And we will help you anytime. And Lisa loves you too. As a friend. You are sort of like her son.
Denny: You mean you’re not upset with me?
Johnny: No, because I trust you and I trust Lisa. What about Elizabeth, hunh?
Denny: Well… I love her.
Johnny: Mm-hm.
Denny: When I graduate from college, get a good job, I want to marry her and have kids with her.
Johnny: That’s the idea.
Denny: You’re right. Thanks for paying my tuition.
Johnny: You’re very welcome, Denny, and keep in mind, if you have any problems, talk to me, and I will help you.
Denny: Awesome. Thanks, Johnny.
Johnny: Let’s go eat, huh? Come on, let’s go. Let’s go. I’m starving.
[The two go outside the pineapple.]
Denny: OH MY GOD! IT’S KEN STRINGFELLOW!
[Ken Stringfellow rides by on a skateboard.]
Ken Stringfellow: YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
[Ken Stringfellow skateboards off a cliff and starts screaming in agony.]
Sparro: Like whoa.
Sylvia: Boing.
[Cut to Ken Stringfellow being rushed into hospital on a bed. Johnny follows.]
Johnny: Why, Ken Stringfellow?! Why, Ken Stringfellow?! Please talk to me!! PLEASE!!!! You are part of my life, you are everything, I could not go on without you, Ken Stringfellow!
Ken Stringfellow: (weak) Johnny…
Johnny: Huh?
Ken Stringfellow: Come closer…
[Johnny moves closer to Ken Stringfellow.]
Ken Stringfellow: (poopfellows himself to death)
Johnny: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Pink Guy from Tweenies walks in.]
Pink Guy from Tweenies: Tweenie clock, where will it stop?
[Pink Guy from Tweenies presses the button on the Tweenie clock and it does its thing. It stops on a picture of Joey from DKOldies.]
All: It’s DKOldies time!
[Cut to a DKOldies video.]
Joey from DKOldies: JewWario, you placed an order. Let’s show you how we ship it out!
[He walks past the consoles in the warehouse.]
Joey from DKOldies: Right past the N64s… and the PS2s… are the Wiis!
[He holds up a severely damaged Wii falling to pieces.]
Joey from DKOldies: And you saved a few extra bucks by going with this cosmetically flawed console! It has a couple scratches, but it has our warranty meaning it works perfectly fine! 
[Cut to Joey from DKOldies holding a really crappy off-brand Wii remote.]
Joey from DKOldies: And you got this really cool replica controller! Next, let’s grab your games!
[Cut to Joey from DKOldies grabbing JewWario’s games.]
Joey from DKOldies: You got the Ninjabread Man and M&Ms Kart Racing! Good taste! Let’s get this order packed!
[Joey from DKOldies grabs a box and violently throws the Wii console into the box, further damaging the console, followed by the shitty Wii remote. He takes the Ninjabread Man out of its case, crumbles the disc into pieces, and throws that into the box. He farts on the copy of M&Ms Kart Racing and adds that to the pile too.]
Joey from DKOldies: And since your order got picked to be filmed, I’m throwing in Ken Stringfellow’s dead corpse!
[Joey from DKOldies meticulously takes the time to wrap Ken Stringfellow’s corpse in bubble wrap and puts it in the box. He then tapes the box together and throws it out the window of the warehouse.]
Joey from DKOldies: Thanks, JewWario, your order is on its way!
[Cut to New Squidward Chat]
Announcer: Elmo 3V presents... "New Squidward Chat"! With your host: Squidward Tentacles.
Squidward: Welcome back to New Squidward Chat. I’m Squidward Tentacles, your host! Apologies for having to briefly go off-air… again. We had a bee in the studio. Anyway, joining me now is today’s guest; it’s the one and only Chris Pratt and Charlie Day!
[Chris Pratt and Charlie Day walk in and sits down to applause.]
Squidward: How are you doing today, Chris?
Chris Pratt: I’m doing great, thanks. I just beat an old lady with a stick.
Squidward: Now, you have a new movie coming out this Wednesday. April 5th, right?
Chris Pratt: Yeah, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and let me tell you that I spent hours of my life stomping… (thinks) KOOPAS… (thinks more) in the original Mario Bros. arcade game.
TheJasbre202: Really?
Chris Pratt: Let me tell you, I used to pull out my Sega Dreamcast and play Paper Mario: Sticker Star all day as a kid back in the 80s, you know. There is no bigger Mario fan than me.
Squidward: Who’s your favorite character to play as?
Charlie Day: There’s just something about Luigi. 
Chris Pratt: Just a raw sexual- um it’s a raw charisma. I don’t want to say it’s a sexual charisma but it- it’s like- it’s something about… it’s… (smirks) you know-
Charlie Day: It’s like that kind of nerdy quiet type that you’re like-
Chris Pratt: YEAH, yeah, got BDE.
Squidward: Yeah- 
[They both burst into a fit of laughter.]
Squidward: Our production notes focus a lot on the fact that you tried out different voices for these characters while trying to find the right one. To give us a sense of how much you were able to play with that, can you each tell me the two most polar opposite ideas that you explored while trying to find the voices for these characters before settling on what we see in the finished film?
Charlie Day: I mean, entirely in French. I was like, “Illumination, you're in France. Why don't I do this all in French?” And they said, “Do you speak French?” I said, “Not really.” And they said, “Yeah, that's not gonna work for us.”
Chris Pratt: Yeah. “But that’s not gonna stop me from doing a super stereotypical French accent.”
Charlie Day: I said, “It sounds French-ish,” and they said, “Are you saying a French accent?” I'm like, “No, some French-ish words like oitotomatoufyg2djckv” And they’re like, “You know, no one's gonna know what that is.”
Squidward: I speak French-ish, so I would’ve gotten it.
Charlie Day: Yeah, you would have gotten it. “Yeah, Mario, oitotomatoufyg2djckv.” And then they shot that one down.
Chris Pratt: Yeah, they shot that right down. Gosh, I don't know that I had big, wide choices that were all that different than what ended up. It was a little bit more, you know, slightly nuanced the differences. We tried a few different things and then, ultimately, it took probably three or four sessions before settling on what worked. And once we had that figured out, I'd get to the session, they would play back the hit list of like the 15 or 20 phrases that they had that were like, “This is the voice, this is where we want it to be.” And so once we did that, it would be like a little tuning horn. Is what they're called? Tuning horn?
Charlie Day: Yeah, a fork. Tuning fork.
Chris Pratt: He grew up in a musical family.
Squidward: Was there any trepidation to step into these roles? Especially because they do have such a long history and passionate fan base, but are mostly undefined when it comes to like a larger cohesive story?
Chris Pratt: That’s a really good point. It is largely undefined, but I think because it’s largely undefined, it kind of reduces the amount of trepidation that I personally felt coming in. I mean, you have great reach. Anytime you have IP like this, it’s really something that’s almost required these days to create a big tentpole type of movie for these studios. You have to have some kind of reach. The fact that this hasn’t been a major motion picture recently was a really great thing. And you’re right, there’s not that much familiarity beyond just what their costumes look like and a handful of catchphrases that you might hear. And knowing that it was Illumination, I was like, “Boy, I think this is destined to be a home run.” So I was really, really grateful to be a part of it.
Squidward: When the voice cast was announced, it was met with excitement but confusion and some criticism. Chris, how did you feel about that since so much of that was directed at you?
Chris Pratt: Oh, I totally get it, man. There’s a passionate fan base and I’m one of the fans. I get it. Mostly, people don’t want something like this to get screwed up. They’re precious about it. They’re careful. And I’m grateful for that.
Charlie Day: I think Super Mario Bros., really, when you think about what a video game does for people, it is a place to escape to. So people would go, after maybe having a tough day at school or in your work life, whatever it is, you put on Super Mario Bros., you play for an hour and you just disappear into that land and that world. So in many ways, the game had taken care of people, I think, in a way that they don’t want the franchise messed up at all. So I think they’ll be really happy when they see the movie two, three, maybe four times in the theater. To see that Illumination has really done a great job with it, and it’s been in really good hands, and the attention to detail for those people who are huge Super Mario Bros. fans? They’re giving the audience what they want. So I think they’re going to be pleased.
Squidward: So, there you have it. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is playing Wednesday April 5th. 
Chris Pratt: Tickets are on sale now, don’t miss it. 
Squidward: That’s it for this week’s New Squidward Chat. Join us next week where I’ll be interviewing Nikocado Avocado! Singing us out is Grammy award-winning global pop sensation Ariana Grande-Butera!
[The crowd cheers as the greatest singer of all time walks onto the stage.]
Ariana Grande: Here I am, once again
Feeling lost but now and then
I breathe it in to let it go
And you don't know where you are now
Or what it would come to, if only somebody could hear
When you figure out how
You're lost in the moment, you disappear
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy, just remember me
When it turns out right
'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory, just remember me
When I make it shine
