Synopsis
SpongeBob arrives late to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob if he knows what a watch is. SpongeBob demonstrates by talking all about the word "watch", including watching things, watching himself, watching your step, watching your head, and watching where you're going as he stops Plankton from stealing the Krabby Patty secret formula. He then pulls a tablecloth as various objects fly from a table. Patrick tells him to "watch out" as everything falls on SpongeBob. SpongeBob tells Patrick that "watch out" was another good one and laughs as the short transitions to the ad.

The short finished production in late October 2004.[2]
