Continuity mistake: Rock Bottom: When the cardboard version of Spongebob next to the candy machine is shown, it is frowning, but it turns into a smile when it falls over. (00:18:48)
Other mistake: Rock Bottom: When SpongeBob sets up a cardboard version of himself and is shown sneaking to the bus, his holes are missing and he is perfectly square, instead of his usual sponge-like shape. (00:18:47)

Big Pink Loser / Bubble Buddy - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: Big Pink Loser: When Patrick says, "Why can't I do anything right?", and starts hitting his broom on the floor, the drinks that are supposed to be on the customers' tables are instead layered behind them. (00:05:18)
The Thing/Hocus Pocus - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: The Thing: When Squidward is riding his bike on the road, he hits a cement truck, and gets covered in cement. He tries to get out of it, and a shot later, the location suddenly changes from the road to a green hill.

Whatever Happened to SpongeBob? (WhoBob WhatPants) - S5-E18

Have You Seen This Snail? - S4-E3

Big Pink Loser / Bubble Buddy - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: Big Pink Loser: When Patrick is answering phone calls, the third time he picks up and says, "No, this is Patrick", the anchor symbol on his hat vanishes for one frame. (00:04:36)
Suggested correction: This mistake can only be detected by freezing the film and advancing frame by frame. It is not visible while watching the film at a normal running speed. According to the rules of this site, this invalidates the error.
This is not true. You can see it disappear if you watch it at normal speed; it does not require pausing at all. At least, I am able to see it.
Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: In Plankton! When Plankton pulls out a radio player to play his evil music on SpongeBobs pillow, it has disappeared when Spongebob wakes up. SpongeBob didn't move on it.
The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14
Audio problem: At the end of "Band Geeks" when everyone is playing "Sweet Victory" at one point Mrs. Puff is shown playing the guitar. When this happens, you can see the others in the background not doing anything, even though their instruments are heard.
Procrastination / I'm With Stupid - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: In "Procrastination" when Spongebob is moving back and forth on his chair while writing his essay there is no pencil on the desk, but when he goes back to work on the essay there is.
Suggested correction: The pencil is sitting to the right of the paper the entire time. It's hard to notice at first, but it's there.
SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Plot hole: In "Pranks A Lot", Patrick and SpongeBob scare Sandy. When Sandy runs, gets into her rocket and flies away. When she moved bubbles appeared meaning there's water in her tree house. There's no water in there in other episodes because she's a land animal and breathes air.
SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Plot hole: When the invisible Spongebob and Patrick scare Sandy, they are using a sheet to appear as "ghosts". However, the form of the sheet reveals that they don't have their helmet bowls on. How could they survive in the treedome that time? They sounded fine, not dehydrated.
![SpongeBob SquarePants mistake picture](/images/screenshots/154000-154999/154107_sm.jpg)
Revealing mistake: In "Not Normal" when SpongeBob says "Hmm. This video tape should help," his left arm is missing. (00:01:25)
Tenacle-vision/I Heart Dancing - S7-E8
Character mistake: In "I Heart Dancing", the lady at the Krusty Krab tells Spongebob the dancing audition is the next day. Later, Spongebob is practicing at Squidward's house for a whole night, and the next morning Squidward says they have one more day to practice, even though the audition should have been that day.
Suggested correction: The audition could have been during the afternoon.

Club SpongeBob / My Pretty Seahorse - S3-E12
Revealing mistake: In Club SpongeBob, when SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward are in the forest, Squidward asks the magic conch shell if he can have something to eat. Straight after he asks "Can't you say anything else but 'No'?", it has a close-up of the shell. But Squidward's arm appears to be yellow, like SpongeBob's. This error was later corrected in 2019 when the episode was remastered for digital releases.
You Wish ('Shanghaied') / Gary Takes A Bath - S2-E11
Audio problem: In the beginning of "Shanghaied" during the Patchy the Pirate segment, Patchy says, "Roll the cartoon" but his mouth obviously says something else.
Jellyfish Hunters / The Fry Cook Games - S2-E16
Plot hole: As Spongebob is trying to let the Jellyfish out of their enclosure after discovering what Mr Krabs is doing to them, Krabs says, "That door will only open if I say...open." Then he suddenly realises what he's said and the door opens. How come the door didn't open when in his sentence he first said open? The door didn't activate itself until he said open the second time.
Suggested correction: Two likely explanations: 1. He said it more the 2nd time. 2. There was a delay.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV / Doing Time - S3-E1
Plot hole: In "Mermaid man and Barnacle Boy", Plankton is shown as taller than the town at the end of the episode. However, when Spongebob is shrinking the people of Bikini Bottom, their sizes in the pickle jar seem to be equal with Plankton's actual height. In reality, Plankton should have been around the same size as the rest of Bikini Bottom's residence after the shrinking, not 5 times taller.
SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When The Strangler and Spongebob arrive at the pineapple, look at the door: there is no doormat below it, but a couple minutes later Spongebob pulls a key out from under the doormat that was not there before.
Continuity mistake: When all of Spongebob's friends are formed around him, there's one scene where Pearl's hat disappears and then reappears, so for a few seconds she's completely bald. Her hair isn't even there.
