"Ugh", also known as "SpongeBob SquarePants B.C. (Before Comedy)" ("SpongeBob B.C." for short) and "SpongeBob Goes Prehistoric", is the 54th episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Synopsis[]

The French narrator begins the episode by introducing another SpongeBob SquarePants special, hosted from Encino, California as it was 100 million years ago. From his cave-house, Patchy the Pirate, in a caveman costume, is introducing prehistoric times and talking about how great they were. However, Potty, in a futuristic robot costume, appears and says that prehistoric times were "lame" and the future is "where it's at."

They begin arguing over whether SpongeBob himself likes prehistory or the future better. Meanwhile, working at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob feels a disturbance and tells Mr. Krabs that "I've got the strangest feeling that somewhere a pirate and parrot are arguing about me. And, the parrot is winning." As Patchy and Potty continue to argue, Patchy begins the prehistoric episode.

The cartoon features prehistoric ancestors of SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick named "SpongeGar," "Squog," and "Patar," respectively. SpongeGar, who is sleeping in his pineapple-shaped cave, is awakened by a distant herd of monstrous purple whale creatures, who produce a sound identical to that of SpongeBob's alarm clock that knocks the rock on SpongeGar. SpongeGar wakes up and takes his version of Gary, who is bigger than the prehistoric pineapple itself, out for a walk, and the large sea snail leaves a slime trail all over Squog's front yard. Squog comes out with one of his two clubs to complain to SpongeGar, but slips on the slime trail, sliding into Patar's rock, awakening its occupant, and eventually crashing back into his own house. SpongeGar and Patar begin to play, and SpongeGar uses a hollow log to blow a bubble. It then starts raining, and eventually lightning strikes the log, setting it on fire.

As the act ends, the three cavemen experiment with it, burning themselves in the process. Very soon, SpongeGar realizes that it can be used to cook food. The three begin cooking various items with it. These include flowers, the top of a mushroom, a kelp reed, a wood stick, a prehistoric ancestor of Eugene H. Krabs, seaweed flowers that look similar to corn on the cob, Patar eating his own clothes, a green plant that looks like spaghetti, rocks that take the form of popcorn, and a Krabby Patty made of sand.

Over the commercial break, Patchy and Potty continue to fight, now keeping score between prehistory and the future. Patchy tried to show how cavemen made fire with a pair of wooden sticks, but the wood doesn't burn until Potty used his laser technology on them. Patchy then brings in a real live caveman named Cavey, but Potty brings in a futuristic robot called the X-29488. Cavey observed the X-29488, but a single touch activates the robot's attack mode and it begins repeatedly shooting the caveman with lasers, scoring more points for the future and messing up Patchy's caveman show.

At the end of the day, SpongeGar, Patar, and Squog are full from eating and say goodbye to each other as they head over to their homes. Suddenly, SpongeGar, Patar, and Squog stop walking and they turn around, realizing that the fire is still out there. The three of them start fighting over who will keep the fire. They continue fighting until it starts raining again and puts the fire out. SpongeGar and Patar apologize to each other for fighting, but Squog blames them for putting it out and attempts to hit them over the head. Before he can do so, however, lightning strikes him and SpongeGar and Patar cook marshmallows over his charred body.

After the episode ends, Patchy is shown sitting outside his cave, apparently having lost to Potty. However, Potty comes outside and invites him back in, where Cavey the Caveman and the Robot Android Cyborg DX-294888 do a rap called "When Worlds Collide."

Patchy began to have a change of heart about "loving" the future. The song montage features scenes from SpongeBob B.C. and "SB-129." The episode ends with Potty giving Patchy a "gift from the prehistoric times," that being a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which begins chasing him. Patchy says goodbye to the viewers, finishing the episode while being tickled by the Tyrannosaurus Rex as Potty is eating popcorn.
