Cartoon's Christmas Carol: Prologue - Patchy the Pirate's Introduction.
Summary: A Classic Re-telling of Charles Dicken's Story with a Cartoon Twist, inspired by Mickey's Christmas Carol, Muppet's Christmas Carol, A Flipmas Carol, and the Jim Carry Christmas Carol. Though Toondon awaits the joyful arrival of Christmas, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge played Squidward Tentacles hates everything to do with Christmas. Soon is taken on a journey of a lifetime and learns the True Meaning of Christmas.
The story begins with a panoramic view of live-action houses. This is Encino, California as the French Narrator.
French Narrator: "And now, direct from Encino, America's favorite pirate and president of the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club, Patchy the Pirate."
The exterior of Patchy's house is decorated with Christmas decorations. The title name "Patchy" appears. Inside the house, It was also filled with Christmas decorations and a Christmas Tree while Patchy was wrapping presents
Patchy: (Singing to the tune of "Jingle Bells") Yo ho ho, yo ho ho, yo ho ho ho ho ho.
The Pirate stops when he notices the readers.
Patchy: "Oh! Hi." (waves) "I'm Patchy the Pirate, president of the SpongeBob SquarePants Fan Club!"
He notices a long piece of confetti on his hook and tries to shake it off. He pulls on it and whacks himself in the eye, giving him a black eye. He switches his patch over to the other eye.
Patchy: "Hey, that's better!"
Then Potty the Pirate, a puppet bird on strings, flies in.
Potty: *squawks* "Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!"
Patchy: "That's right, Potty! It is Christmas." (he limps over to the fireplace) "And there ain't nothing better in the seven seas than a Bikini Bottom Christmas. It sure is a magical time of year. (he blows on his pipe, and bubbles emerge) "Why, I'll bet old SpongeBob is gearing up for Santa Claus right now!"
He picks up a picture of SpongeBob. Cuts to SpongeBob, holding a remote.
SpongeBob: "I sure am!"
He presses a button on the remote. A large chimney rises from the ground next to his house, and a gigantic funnel pops out of it with the words "Welcome Santa" in neon letters
SpongeBob: "I'm ready!"
Patchy: *Laughs* Not bad for a creature with no vertebrae. (he puts down SpongeBob's picture) "And I'm sure our pal Patrick is doing his share of the decorating."
He picks up a picture of Patrick. Cuts to Patrick standing by his house with a dopey smile on his face. Zooms out to reveal a single ornament hanging from the antenna on top of his rock. It snaps off and hits the ground. Patrick then falls to the ground as well.
After the vision, Patchy is mixing cookie dough in the kitchen.
Patchy: "I too am also preparing for Christmas." (he lifts up the mixer) Hmm, unbaked cookie dough! (he takes a lick) Mmm…
Then Potty flies over squawking wanting a taste of the Cookie Dough flying back and forth while Patchy ducks as the parrot flies over him.
Potty: *squawks* "Potty want cookie dough!" *squawk* "Cookie!"
Patchy: "Potty! No!"
Potty: "Cookie!"
Patchy: "Get out of here!"
Potty: "Cookie!"
Patchy: "Potty!"
Potty: *squawks* "Give us a lick!"
Patchy: "Back off, you flying freak!"
Potty flies onto the counter of the kitchen.
Potty: *squawks* Clarify, please.
Patchy: "This here cookie dough is for the children, not for pesky parrots."
Patchy was making some cookies that were shaped like SpongeBob and Patrick. Cuts to Hans reaching over and ringing a bell. Patchy looks out the window
Patchy: "What's that? Three bells! Well, we all know what three bells means!"
Children: "Free ice cream!"
Patchy: *Laughs* "No, you silly livers." (sternly) "No!"
Potty: *squawks* Man overboard?
Patchy walks from the kitchen and over to a desk as he sits down.
Patchy: "You, I'm ignoring. No, it's time to open fan letters!"
Potty flies over with a letter in his beak giving it to Patchy/
Potty: *squawks* Here you go!
Patchy tugs at it, but Potty refuses to let go as he squawks.
Patchy: "Thank you, Potty. Yeah. Okay Potty, thank you! Come on, give it, you birdbrain! Quiet, infernal bird!"
Patchy uses his hook, now with a pair of scissors on the end, to snip Potty's strings. Potty squawks and falls to the ground. Patchy nods as he sits back down.
Patchy: "Hmm. This letter comes to us from…"
Fish Head: (Voiceover) "Name and address withheld!"
Patchy tears the envelope open, pieces of it flying all over. He pulls up his eye patch and replaces it with a pair of reading glasses with one eye covered up.
Patchy: "And he writes, "Dear SpongeBob, I am ten years old, and I was wondering if you like Christmas as much as I do. Sincerely yours..."
Fish Head: (as voiceover) "Name and address withheld!"
Patchy gets up and takes off his glasses. Now his eye patch is back on.
Patchy: "A very good question. But you know not everyone celebrates Christmas, Squidward didn't want to get involved until the end to make Spongebob happy. But it reminds me of an old favorite Christmas story from Charles Dickens of a man who hated Christmas.
Potty: *squawks* "He didn't?"
Patchy: "No sir, my fine feathered little neck pain."
He pulls down Potty's strings. Potty falls to the ground, and a puppeteer falls from above the set. Patchy hangs a homemade SpongeBob ornament on a Christmas tree. Zooms out, showing the entire tree, which is decorated with many similar SpongeBob, as well as ornaments featuring Patrick and Squidward, and a few gift boxes.
Patchy: "Hey, who wants to hear the story of how Squidward was Ebeneezer Scrooge the grumpiest person in the Cartoon version of London, and learned the true meaning of Christmas?"
Cuts to Potty, who looks very drowsy and with bloodshot eyes. Patchy turns around and sees an empty bowl of cookie dough, accompanied by a foghorn noise.
Patchy: "Potty? D'ahh! You ate all me cookie dough!"
Potty: "Squ-ouch!"
Patchy: (Shrugs) Oh, well. On with the Show
