Chapter 3

Ze Next Generation

French Narrator: "Ze Next Day"

Location: The Krusty Krab

"Mr. Squidward, stop playing that music!" Mr. Krabs orders the mediocre clarinet player. "Kids hate jazz!"

"Ugh. Just another non-recognition of my talent" Squidward complains and then gives up.

"Squidward, jazz just sucks" the krab bluntly replies as he sets Krabby Patties on the tables. Plankton's setting up a VR headset with Karen as the monitor.

"Viola! They finally figured out how to conquer the child's brain!" Plankton admits and plugs the headset into Karen.

Then, a sponge enters the eating establishment with several pieces of papers held in his left hand. "Good morning, Mr. K. I have online ad pitches"

"What you got, lad?" he replies and looks through the written pitches. "Get lit at the Krusty Krab?"

"But we live underwater!" Squidward points out.

"According to the kids, it's just a rad new expression" SpongeBob explains.

"I don't care. It's illogical like everything else in Bikini Bottom!"

"Alright fine" SpongeBob agrees and then moves onto the next slogan: "Hey kiddos, come here to get Coolio during the Summerio!"

"Oh, please. Nobody says Coolio anymore" Squidward critiques him again. "Look at us. We're just a bunch of middle-aged and old people trying to stay hip"

"You're right, Mr. Squidward. We need some young blood!"

Then, SpongeBob suggests a recently-conceived idea: "I know what to do. Let's bring Pearl on board!"

"You're right, she'll know how to connect with this new generation!" Mr. Krabs agrees.

French Narrator: "10 Minutes Later"

Location: The Krusty Krab

"Alright, thanks darling" Mr. Krabs thanks his daughter over the phone; he hangs up and suggests:

"Boys, Pearl suggested that we make Krabby Koffee because kids drink that poison nowadays. And we should also make the Krabby Patties healthier because people are more health conscious these days"

"How do we make junk food healthier?" a given-up Squidward asks. "This food is literal poison! It caused my thighs to explode!"

"Let's exchange Krabby Patties with salads" Squidward suggests, causing Mr. Krabs to get Kuddly Krab flashbacks and pass out.

"So...what's the slogan gonna be?" Plankton breaks his silence. "Because, we're just old people getting advice from a teenager"

"How about we use the same slogan from that commercial?" SpongeBob suggests: "The Krusty Krab: Come spend your money here!"

"Yeah, that's timeless and not pandering to any age group" Squidward agrees. "We should stop pandering to kids because it's cringeworthy and not very effective"

Rest in peace, Stephen. Thanks for defining a generation and future generations with your creativity.]
