These are the voyages of the Patrick Star Enterprise

Nautical nonsense reaches the Final Frontier in “Patrick Starship Enterprise,” a new promotional short from Paramount+ celebrating two iconic franchises: Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and CBS Television Studios’ Star Trek.

In the new ad, Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), commands the "Patrick Starship Enterprise," a gigantic starship resembling everyone's favorite starfish, complete with the unmistakable voice of Bill Fagerbakke.
Spock (Ethan Peck) and Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence) survey the stars, while Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) man the controls...which also double as a grill for Krabby Patties. Finally, the man (or sponge) of the hour arrives, as Tom Kenny's SpongeBob (or, as Spock greets him, "SpongeRobert") beams aboard, clad in a square Starfleet uniform. Soon, the whole thing is revealed to be the result of Uhura having a very strange dream...or, perhaps, of using her "imagination," as a double-live-long-and-prosper-handed Spock generates a SpongeBob-style rainbow. The action is punctuated by Patrickisms as alerts from the ship (Bill Fagerbakke), and plenty of crossover references.
The crossover was exciting for both SpongeBob and Star Trek crews. Says Tom Kenny:
Speaking as a lifelong Trekker (OG TOS, baby! I was a nerd before nerds were cool!). It was a huge thrill to have my porous alter ego SpongeBob SquarePants “beam up” to the USS Enterprise for a dreamy visit! Interacting with the “stellar” (yes, pun intended!) cast of Strange New Worlds was an honor and a pleasure. They made SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs and Sandy feel welcome, which is a good thing because Star Trek is such a HUUUUUGE deal to me, I was really sweating it! Live Long and Perspire!

Meanwhile, longtime SpongeBob fan Celia Rose Gooding was thrilled to interact with the residents of Bikini Bottom, even if they had some serious questions about the crossover. "I grew up on SpongeBob, so I feel like I’ve been training for this my whole life. I’ve committed a lot of the Krusty Krab training video to memory, but how prepared can you be for a blended fever dream of your past and present? In this case, it’s SpongeBob and Star Trek. Wild, to say the least. I’ll be crossing some things off my bucket list, but I have so many questions. Can the food replicator make Krabby Patties? Does Spock play mayonnaise in this universe? Where is Gary? Have it out on your preferred platform. I’m ready! I’m ready!"

While Star Trek's new big-screen outing has been subject to innumerable delays, SpongeBob SquarePants is set to hit theaters again later this year. The fourth theatrical SpongeBob movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (amusingly, a takeoff on the title of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock), will premiere on December 19, 2025, and will pit SpongeBob and his pals against the Flying Dutchman; he'll be voiced by Mark Hamill, a stalwart of some other science fiction franchise.
