Role in episode[]

Everyone in Bikini Bottom, except for SpongeBob, leave for the day to enjoy time without him.

Normally, it lasts just one day, but in the episode, it lasts for a few weeks, because the inhabitants over-enjoy having a fun time without SpongeBob's presence. Soon, everyone come home and explain to SpongeBob what was going on before they leave to celebrate National No Patrick Day.

Trivia[]

• There is also a National No Patrick Day.
• On National No SpongeBob Day, they build a wooden effigy of SpongeBob, burn it, and then dance on top of the ashes. This is a reference to the Burning Man.
• The holiday was vaguely foreshadowed in "Sleepy Time" when Squidward said, "Don't we get enough of you during the day?"
