“You are traveling to an aquatic dimension — a dimension not only of laughs and giggles but of uncontrollable nose milk. When things start to get coo-coo, there’s a pretty good chance you may have just entered The Tidal Zone.”
Those are the words that will greet you on the upcoming, first-ever SpongeBob Universe crossover special debuting on Nickelodeon in November. EW has an exclusive peek at the Twilight Zone spoof, a one-hour event will consist of four vignettes — each featuring characters from SpongeBob SquarePants and spin-offs The Patrick Star Show and Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.

“Imagine, if you will, the town of Bikini Bottom. Now imagine if everyone who lived there was a robot. Submitted for your approval, a trip to Binary Bottom,” begins one of the vignettes, previewed in the exclusive clip above, which imagines everyone’s favorite TK as a robot who recharges each night using one too many surge protectors; eats a breakfast of oil, nuts, and bolts; enjoys playtime with his pet, Robo-Gary; and heads to work with his reluctant boss, Squidbot.

The cast and creative team behind the SpongeBob Universe — including Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Jill Talley (Karen, Squidina), Kate Higgins (Narlene), Carlos Alazraqui (Nobby), and executive producers Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Walker — debuted the above clip on Thursday afternoon at San Diego Comic-Con, along with a poster and a second clip that sees talk-show host Patrick welcome some guests from “Out her face”… sorry, we mean outer space. A shrink-ray is involved and, well, you can see how that goes in the video below.
