Actor Ray Liotta, best known for playing mobster Henry Hill in Goodfellas, is hiding out under the sea in the upcoming SpongeBob SquarePants special ‘WhoBob WhatPants?’. The half-hour comedic adventure will premiere on Monday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. on Nickelodeon, following a four-hour SpongeBob marathon that kicks off at 4 p.m.
When SpongeBob is struck with amnesia and drifts from Bikini Bottom, his friends fear that they’ve lost their pal forever in this latest sub-surface romp. Our absorbent friend wanders the ocean, a stranger in his own pants, until he encounters the leader of the dangerous Bubble Poppin’ Boys, voiced Liotta, and accidentally becomes a hero.
The broadcast premiere will be complimented by a new Game of the Week on Nick.com. Debuting on Thursday, Oct. 2, SpongeBob SquarePants: WhoBob WhatPants? Will ask players to help a confused SpongeBob as he tries to escape from the Bubble Poppin’ Boys who enforce a strict no-bubble policy. Nick.com will also feature a custom video player, links to additional SpongeBob games, a special message board thread and a page of downloadable wallpapers, screensaver, printables and buddy icons. In addition, TurboNick will begin offering a sneak-peek of the special and other SpongeBob video content on Oct. 3.
SpongeBob SquarePants: ‘WhoBob WhatPants?’ will be released on DVD on Tuesday, Oct. 14, and will also include five episodes from the show’s fifth season and four original animated shorts.
