This is an accepted version of this page The eleventh season of the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, created by former marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg, began airing on Nickelodeon in the United States on June 24, 2017, beginning with the episode "Spot Returns"/"The Check-Up", and ended on November 25, 2018, with the half-hour special "Goons on the Moon".
The series chronicles the exploits and adventures of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom.
The cave sponge follows SpongeBob through his morning routine and to the Krusty Krab, making a mess and destroying property.
The plan is foiled by SpongeBob, who feeds the amoebas treats that cause them to grow and destroy the Chum Bucket.
Despite Man Ray's peaceful intentions, SpongeBob and Patrick provoke him and start a fight using objects in Squidward's house.
"No Pictures Please": Patrick pretends to be a tour guide, leading a tourist named Rube around Bikini Bottom.
After he reveals that the "E" in his name stands for "eat", SpongeBob feeds Cuddle the last of the rotten Krabby Patty, causing him to go into his own hallucination.
"Drive Happy": SpongeBob buys a self-driving car named Coupe, who turns out to act snobby and entitled.
"Whale Watching": Mr. Krabs hires Squidward to babysit Pearl, promising a work shift without SpongeBob if nothing goes wrong.
"Patnocchio": In a parody of Walt Disney's Pinocchio, Plankton pretends to be Patrick's conscience to get a Krabby Patty.
SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs impersonate police officers to get it back, catching a real criminal along the way, while Plankton is put in a cell with Patrick and tries to escape.
After a long fight in the evidence room, SpongeBob (who told the truth out of fear) and Mr. Krabs are arrested and locked up in the same cell with Plankton, Patrick, and the criminal.
"Appointment TV": SpongeBob is excited to watch a never-before-seen two-part special episode of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and is prepared for it after his shift at the Krusty Krab.
The DVD boxset for season eleven was released by Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon in the United States and Canada on March 31, 2020.
The DVD release features bonus materials, including the animated short "Plankton's Color Nullifier".
