Plot summary

Patchy has lost the 'SpongeBob SquarePants lost episode', and finds a map leading to it. He follows the instructions, until he reaches 'The 7 trials of monkey lagoon'. This is actually a playground, but it appears to cause him great pain. He finds the tape and goes back home to see it. What he doesn't know is that on the tape, there are two episodes, the real one and the fake one which isn't even an episode. The fake one is first which is a long clip of Spongebob doing walk cycles to upbeat music. After Patchy sees it, he throws out all his SpongeBob merchandise and runs away. When he finds out that the real episode is playing, he comes back home and puts his SpongeBob merchandise where it originally was. After the episode, he decides to play it again. Not knowing a thing about technology, he wrecks the tape so it can't be seen again.

SpongeBob wishes he could fly with the jellyfish. He makes several flying machines, all of which fail to fly for long enough. In his attempts, he uses a biplane, bat wings, garden chair with balloons, and a giant kite pulled by a bicycle.

After attempting to fly, he is called "The Birdman of Bikini Bottom" and is ridiculed. Depressed, he finds out a way to fly - Inflatable pants. He is constantly asked to do favors, and when he finally refuses, he is left alone in jellyfish fields with his pants taken away. The jellyfish help him fly, and he sees Patrick flying (somehow).

Trivia

The clown on TV in the Patchy the Pirate segment is writer Kent Osbourne.
Before he fails to fly after too much favors on the real episode, Cannonball Jenkins hit Spongebob's inflatable pants saying "I knew no good would come from city folk and their flying machines" (Said over & over by Jenkins.)
At one point in the real episode, SpongeBob says that he will 'invent' a flying machine. However, a flying machine has been already invented, as you can see one flying near the end of the episode.
