Season: Whole show  1  2  3  5  All

Across whole show

In the episode where Spongebob loses his identity, he constantly has his back to people. His name tag was on his back, so wouldn't someone have noticed it? [At the beginning when Spongebob first realizes he lost it, Squidward points to Spongebob's back saying something like "Uh...Spongebob..." but gets cut off, so it's fair to assume he saw the nametag and was trying to tell Spongebob. Besides, Spongebob only found out about the inspection at work, so he didn't ask anyone else if they had seen his nametag.]
Edit
Episode: "Pranks a Lot" - 3-21: If the invisible paint washes off with water, wouldn't SpongeBob/Patrick fade into view immediately (because they are UNDERWATER)? [Technically yes. But if this is a problem then we'd also have to count the whole show as a problem. Like people who live underwater drowning, blowing bubbles, and drinking beverages. Because this is a cartoon this is not a valid mistake as it's artistic license.]
Edit
Sandy has a suit on when she's walking around Bikini Bottom. On the square on the suit, it either has 3 dots OR an acorn. Does it change by itself? [Sandy probably has 2 suits.]
Edit
Here's some sad news...I heard Spongebob is cancelled. The last episode will air in January 2005, based on what I've heard. For more info, you might want to follow this URL: http://www.tvtome.com/SpongeBobSquarePants/. [Those were the rumors a few months ago, but now it's officially not. A source says there will be twenty episodes in 2005, so it probably won't be cancelled anytime soon.]
Edit
Spongebob is repeatedly referred to, as a square, when in actual fact, the largest surface area on Spongebob which holds his face, is an irregular trapezium. [Well that would hardly sound as good in the theme song, would it? He is actually a cuboid, but I assume they're trying to keep the shapes simple so kids can understand it - it is a kids' show after all.]
Edit
In "Idiot Box," Squidward takes a sombrero out of a box and says, "Why haven't I worn this?" This is the same sombrero he later wears in "The Camping Episode." [No, the one in "Idiot Box" was smaller than the one in "The Camping Episode."]
Edit
In "Jellyfishing," Squidward comes home and Patrick stupidly says "Merry Christmas." But he didn't know about Christmas until the episode "Christmas Who?" ["Christmas Who?" is actually a flashback - Patchy the Pirate, in the present, is telling the story of Bikini Bottom's first Christmas. Therefore, the time that Patrick learns about Christmas could have actually occurred sometime before the story in "Jellyfishing", thus explaining Patrick's knowledge of the holiday.]
Edit
The walkway to Patrick's house constantly appears and disappears throughout the episodes. [As long as I have watched the show it is always there.]
Edit
Spongebob's house is round from the outside, but inside it is not. [It might be that some parts of the house have thicker and thicker walls, so that the interior has corners, while the exterior is circular. I have an attic, where from the outside it looks like it should have a ceiling that is 'pointed' upwards, but is actually a normal looking room. So basically in Spongebob's house, an overheard shot minus the roof might look like a rectangle (or many rectangles) in a circle. (Another thing - the hallway that contains two sets of stairs opposite each other that spiral down and lead to the kitchen IS circular/cylindrical).]
Edit
In the episode "Missing Identity", SpongeBob says that he has never eaten Gary's food (that's why he tastes it). However, in "I was a teenage Gary", an episode that took place before this one, SpongeBob does taste Gary's food, when he's mutating. This not only happens in this episode, it happens in many. In the episode "Opposite day", we also see him eating Gary's food, saying "Meow". [The episode Missing Identity could be at a time before the other two.]
Edit
In the episode "Missing Identity", Patrick throws trash in SpongeBob's face. When Patrick is going to clean SpongeBob he finds a disc on the trash. That disc wasn't there before. [Yes, it was.]
Edit
The location of the Krusty Krab or Spongebob's house must change often, as Spongebob often leaves his home and goes to the right or to the left to go to work, also the distance between them also changes. [We can't see the Krusty Krab from his house, maybe he just likes to take different routes on different days. ]
Edit
In the episode 3-21 "Pranks A Lot", SpongeBob asks what can he buy with 1 dollar, and the salesman gives him and invisible spray, that it's worth exactly 1 dollar. As we know, that's all the money that SpongeBob has, but when he pays the dollar for the spray, he gives more than 1 dollar. [It's never said that Spongebob only has one dollar. He just said "What can we get for a dollar." Perhaps he was just trying to save money.]
Edit Corrected by Brad
Whenever Bikini Bottom is shown as a town, you cannot see Squidward's or SpongeBob's houses. This happens every time. [Why should it be? It's not close to the main town centre. Almost none of the major characters' houses are shown when Bikini Bottom is shown as a whole.]

In the episode 4-2 "The Lost Mattress / Krabs vs. Plankton", Mr. Krabs claims he never heard of a bank. But in "Krabby Land," he says "Hi, kids. Uncle Krabs has to go to the bank now." He also has a sack of money, proving that he does put his money in a bank, rather than a mattress. [Mr. Krabs never claimed he didn't know what a bank was - he just fell into a "cash coma". And the sack of money he had was taken by the children. And.I think I've read in the book "Spongebob Revealed" (this is not a direct quote) is that Mr. Krabs alternates his money from a bank to his mattress. Another thing.Squidward said in "Plankton's Army" that he kept the secret formula in his mattress too. Supposing Sheldon were to open the mattress he could never have found the secret formula in the mattress with all his money inside.]
Edit
In the episode 3-20, "Krabby Land / The Camping Episode", in "Krabby Land": SpongeBob arrives at the Krusty Krab, dressed like a flower, saying about the spring meaning, and so on. Later, when SpongeBob and Krabs know that there's a new park for children, Krabs says he has an idea and goes away. The next scene shows SpongeBob saying something like this, "What could happen with Mr. Krabs yesterday when he said.?". He says "yesterday", meaning that the scene with Mr. Krabs and the Krusty Krab was the day before. At the end of the episode, SpongeBob says "I thought I knew the spring meaning, but that was long ago.". Squidward says "Wasn't that this morning?.". But remember, that was the day before, when SpongeBob arrives saying about the spring meaning dressed like a flower, not that day. [Squidward really doesn't like Spongebob. When he said, "wasn't that this morning?" he was being sarcastic and saying that Spongebob is basically stupid for changing his ideas so fast.]
Edit
In some episodes, SpongeBob's house is apparently an actual pineapple (e.g. "Home Sweet Pineapple"), but in other episodes, it is apparently made of wood like in "Opposite Day", when they tear down the house and rebuild it. [Things in Bikini Bottom change all the time. For example, sometime's Squidward's house is there, and sometimes it's not.]
Edit Corrected by wizard_of_gore
In some episodes, SpongeBob can't lift a feather. In others, he is strong enough to flip people. (e.g. Texas). [SpongeBob has never shown anything close to strength in any episode. Regardless of that I don't believe he flips someone in Texas.]
Edit Corrected by Lummie
Every time Bikini Bottom is seen in bird's eye view, SpongeBob's, Squidward's, and Patrick's house isn't shown even the Krusty Krab isn't visible. [How this is a mistake? Their houses are not right next to the town. Most of them are quite distant from the centre of town.]
Edit Corrected by Lummie
The ingredients in Krabby Patty change. [The ingredients of the Krabby Patty has stayed the same throughout the entire show.]
