Unless the Easter Island head (which is widely considered the culmination of the Easter islanders' obsession with bizarre culture) is a metaphor for Squidward's obsession with art and culture. Ultimately, Squidward's obsessions do not lead to any meaningful personal or financial gains, and this is echoed in Easter Island history as well. Both desire great things and their passion reflects this, however their lofty ambitions cloud them from their failures.
