Synopsis[]
In the beginning of the episode, SpongeBob and Patrick are at Sand Mountain. They see Johnny Krill, Not Dead Ted, and Grand Maul Granny who part of a group called The Drastic Radicals, doing extreme sports. A British fancy fish tells them about them, and because he spoke in lisp, they mistake it for "extreme spots." A jellyfish lands on Patrick and he gets covered in jellyfish sting spots. They stand in front of the team, wanting to join them because of spots. Johnny corrects them, stating he meant "sports," not "spots," and lets them try to be Drasticals.
Johnny Krill with his bike.
He shows SpongeBob a motorbike. SpongeBob tries to climb on, but the motorbike starts and it rips his arms off. His arms drive away on the motorbike whilst SpongeBob tries to catch up. SpongeBob is about to give up when the motorbike comes back at him. The motorbike stops in front of Johnny Krill.
On the hill above them, Patrick gets pushed by Granny down the hill on a clamboard. Patrick swallows the board and hits a lot of rocks. Once at the bottom, SpongeBob and Patrick walk over to Johnny Krill and his team. Johnny decides that his sports are too extreme for SpongeBob and Patrick. So SpongeBob tells Johnny they can jump rope while Patrick is playing double Dutch. Patrick sings a song, then he falls out when he finds out it was exercise and SpongeBob says "extreme." Johnny Krill shows them extreme as Ted jumps fast, hits a plane, falls down, and blows up burned. Johnny says that sports have to be explosive. So, SpongeBob blows a bubble and he and Patrick mimic the booms, but they are not impressed. Johnny says it has to be big and he shows it by riding his motorcycle through a huge bubble wand and ride in a bubble through town and landing on a heavy industry. SpongeBob asks if fighting is extreme and Johnny says fighting is "totally extreme."
SpongeBob boxes a pillow, but does not do so well. Unimpressed, Johnny shows them, by hitting the pillow hard and taking it to the cleaners. However, the mattress soon beats up Johnny. Johnny asks if they do any more sports and SpongeBob says Patrick is an expert at dumpster diving.
Patrick climbs on top of the dumpster and falls face flat on the garbage. Johnny says it is not extreme, but when Patrick brushes his teeth with a rotten toothbrush, he admits that that act may be extreme. Granny lands on the garbage at a high height, gets in a garbage truck, gets crunched up into a garbage cube, and emerges unharmed. Johnny asks if they do any other sports, and SpongeBob says there is one sport if they are up to it: jellyfishing. While they are doing it, the Drasticals catch jellyfish while doing extreme.
Later, the team gets injured and covered in jellyfish stings, saying that the spots are way extreme. The fancy fish returns and says the extreme spots are the direct product of extreme sports. Everyone looks at him confused, as Patrick asks, "Who is that guy?," as the episode ends.

Trivia[]
General[]
- This episode, along with its sister were added onto iTunes a day before airing on television.
- This episode aired as part of The Super Spongy Square Games.
- The title card is similar to that of "The Hot Shot," except in widescreen and the background is blue.
- A male fish is seen cross-dressed in the beginning of the episode.
- Patrick mentions the title of the episode after getting stung by jellyfish.
- Johnny Krill shares his name with his voice actor, Johnny Knoxville.
- This episode marks the show's transition to 1080i high-definition.
- However, the theme song was not in HD during the premiere of this episode in 2012, and still had the original animation. Eventually on August 5, 2015, Vincent Waller confirmed on Twitter that a 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song was in the works,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and the HD theme song wasn't shown until July 9, 2016 during a rerun airing of "Eek, an Urchin!"
- When the episodes in that format air on standard-definition channels, they are letterboxed with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Rather than the pan-and-scan technique that most other Nicktoons did at the time.
- This is the first non-special/regular-length episode to be in widescreen format and the third episode ever to be produced in widescreen, after "Truth or Square" and "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!"
- A brief clip of this episode was used in the SpongeBob vs. The Goo promo.[10]
- This episode was paired up with different episodes in different marathons:
- During the SpongeBob vs. The Goo marathon, this episode was paired up with "Porous Pockets."[11]
- On the July 20, 2018 airing, this episode was paired up with "The Fry Cook Games."[12]
Errors[]
- When SpongeBob gets on a motorcycle, his arms are disconnected from his body, but when he slows down after going through the sand dunes, his arms are connected to his body again.
- In the scene where Johnny Krill is in the boxing ring with the pillow, there is a moment when Johnny Krill breaks the washing machine containing the pillow. After breaking the washing machine, there is a frame where the pillow's color is slightly transparent.
Textless logo.
- Whenever this episode and/or "Squirrel Record" airs outside of the US, the show's textless version of the theme song plays.[13] This error also happens with "Texas" and/or "Walking Small." Germany and France, as well as a few other countries that normally use their own localized versions of the intro, don’t have this error as they use their own localized versions of the intro.
