Correction: The training video could have been outdated and cheapskate Krabs wouldn't have wanted to make a new one.

Correction: That's because they are not part of his shirt. Look at when he takes off his pants, his shirt always stays with it but his sleeves never seem to be part of it. Chalk it up to another mystery of the show.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III / Squirrel Jokes - S2-E4

Corrected entry: In "Mermaid Man And Barnicle Boy 3" when Man-Ray puts on that metal arm, he puts a bomb thing on top of it. But when Spongebob and Patrick use the orb of confusion on themselves and Man-Ray points to the city right after Spongebob and Patrick crash the Invisible Boatmobile, the bomb thing is not on the metal hand anymore.

Correction: There was enough time for him to have used it or taken it off or something else. After putting it on, he melts Spongebob and Patrick down and then takes off. The scenes then follow the duo before catching up with Man-Ray and crashing the invisible boat mobile.

Lummie

Correction: Spongebob's makeup is constantly changed throughout the series for comedic effect. In one episode he melts into a puddle despite being a sponge. In the same episode his nose deflates like a balloon when pierced by a needle.

Lummie

Correction: Patrick's excess armpit hair was done for the purpose of that joke. Many times in Spongebob, they use something for a joke and never use it again.

Brad

Correction: The tan is more of a visual joke and fits into the show's constant use of making a character look one way for a very brief albeit instant change before reverting back to how they originally looked. Examples include Patrick looking much fatter and with more armpit hair before returning to his normal weight and less armpit hair.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode "Pressure," Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs and Squidward go up to land and they can breathe air. But in other episodes like "Tea at the Treedome," Spongebob can't breathe air in the dome, or like "Big Pink Loser," where Patrick says, "Island, I got an award," but he can't breathe air for even a few seconds.

logan crews

Correction: There is a few differences with the dome and when the gang was on the surface. The dome is somewhat like a glass house, sunlight is essentially the only element entering. That means there is either little to no moisture and no wind. Additionally the sunlight would make it much warmer than outside drying them out much quicker. With moisture in the air on the surface they would last longer. As we see they don't stay very long on the surface. As for when Patrick can't breath for very long in "Big Pink Loser" he was racing around everywhere and might have had to exert more energy jumping out of the water. In "Pressure" they were close to the surface before going on land.

Lummie

Correction: In the season 4, episode "Gone" he makes himself a licence and never says anything about a mustache.

logan crews

Correction: He throws it to his left side, which would land it in front of the house.

Brad

Correction: The empty space was always there.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode Dunces and Dragon's (Lost In time)., In the scene where SpongeBob gets a eyelash plucked out by a guard he has eyelash's but in every other scene he has no eyelash's just eyebrows.

Correction: Actually, spongebob always has eyelashes in every scene and episode.

Correction: How can you tell? We just see it breaking.

Brad

Show generally

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

Brad

Correction: This is a joke to show how ridiculous the things on the list are. It is just one of the random things thrown in as a joke to see if you are paying attention.

The Great Snail Race / Mid-Life Crustacean - S3-E15

Corrected entry: How can there only be the three race contestants (Squidward, Spongebob, and Patrick)? Squidward surely wouldn't have spent his hard earned money just to con the other two into joining a race, so there should be more snails in the race. If Spongebob and Patrick had decided they didn't care about the race, would Squidward's snail have won by default, since there were no other racers?

Danelle Williams

Correction: Rule of thumb on plot holes is they must contradict something. Granted it's strange there are only two other contestants but there is no mistake in it either.

Lummie

Correction: The crowd is just shouting out what they want on their burgers. Just a character mistake on Spongebob perhaps.

Grandma's Kisses / Squidville - S2-E9

Corrected entry: In Grandma's kisses, Patrick is taking a nap. Then Spongebob has a fit about wishing he could be a baby again. But through the fit, Patrick doesn't appear for the rest of the episode. There is even a shot of the couch Patrick was sleeping on, empty.

Correction: There is more than enough time during these scenes for Patrick to have left.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In various episodes the rooms in Spongebob's house change, and make it too big to all be the same size as the exterior of his house.

Correction: First of all this mistake seems to be more opinionated than factual, secondly it is far too ambiguous to confirm or deny. Please try using an example to illustrate a mistake like this.

Show generally

Correction: This mistake is far too ambiguous to confirm or deny, please use an example to illustrate a mistake like this.

Lummie

Correction: In purple pink loser there is someone eating and drinking.

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.

Chosen answer: You need to provide a little bit more information to be able to answer a question like this. In what region is it not being shown? I see it being replayed here in Australia fairly frequently. As for a general reason, there does not appear to be any for why it specifically might have been taken off the air in any country or region. Like any show certain episodes can sometimes not be replayed for long periods for unknown reasons.
