The Great Snail Race / Mid-Life Crustacean - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Squidward looks through a window of SpongeBob's house, Patrick looks through a higher window. An outside shot shows that Patrick is standing in Squidward's shoulders, however, an inside shot shows that Patrick isn't in Squidward's shoulders.
Pre-Hibernation Week / Life of Crime - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When Spongebob falls off the sea needle, he lands on a . It shows his ripped off skin, then it shows his back with the piece missing, but the shapes are different.
Sandy, SpongeBob and the Worm / Squid on Strike - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: When Spongebob shows Sandy the paper clip and a piece of string the string is very small. Yet later after Sandy says, "no silly, how about s for saving our skins", the string is a lot longer.
Welcome to the Chum Bucket / Frankendoodle - S3-E2

Help Wanted / Reef Blowers / Tea at the Treedome - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In "Help Wanted" Gary doesn't have eyelashes. In every other episode he does.
Suggested correction: So Gary not having eyelashes could count as an early design for him. It's common that characters and environments may undergo changes after a pilot. Not a mistake.
But Gary never had eyelashes.
Welcome to the Chum Bucket / Frankendoodle - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: At the end of "Welcome To The Chum Bucket", look at Spongebob's eyes. His eyebrows are more far apart than usual, also his eyeballs are uneven a bit.
Patrick SmartPants/SquidBob TentaclePants - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When SpongeBob and Squidward are combined, Squidward's arm is on the left and SpongeBob's arm is on the right, and that's how it is the whole time. Except in one shot, the shot of SpongeBob's head after Squidward says, "yellow freak." Look at the bottom and you'll see two SpongeBob arms, when the one on the left is supposed to be Squidward's.
Born Again Krabs (aka A Penny Saved) / Safety Freak (aka I Had An Accident) - S3-E17
Audio problem: At the end of "Born Again Krabs", SpongeBob is talking to The Flying Dutchman on the phone. SpongeBob's dialogue isn't in sync with his mouth.
Factual error: In "Wormy," when Wormy's face is viewed as a close-up in butterfly form, the wrong insect is shown. As Wormy is a butterfly, there should have been circular black eyes, long antennae and a proboscis (tongue). Instead, enormous, rainbow-colored, shimmering eyes, sharp mouthparts and horn-like antennae are seen, distinctive to that of a horsefly. Furthermore, butterflies do not make buzzing sounds, which, again, is a characteristic of flies.
Grandma's Kisses / Squidville - S2-E9
Deliberate mistake: Spongebob and Patrick sucks the windows off Squidward's house using leafblowers. The holes in the wall that the windows were in magically disappear.

Help Wanted / Reef Blowers / Tea at the Treedome - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When Spongebob uses his binoculars, his teeth turn yellow for one frame.
The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In Band Geeks during the Day Two scene, in the beginning you can see Pearl near the front, but in the distant shot that follows Pearl has moved further back. (00:04:20)
Revealing mistake: In "Patrick! The Game," when Squidward holds out the notepad it's obviously written on. Just when the bubble transition comes, the notepad clears itself.
Rodeo Daze/Gary in Love - S7-E15
Plot hole: In "Rodeo Daze", there are some cows in a pen singing along with Sandy, but they are outside of the dome and the cows do not have any air helmets on.
Nasty Patty / The Idiot Box - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: In "The Idiot Box", Spongebob and Patrick are standing on the curb of the street and there is a building in the distance. Several shots later, they are standing in the same spot, but the building has disappeared.
Texas / Walking Small - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: In "Walking Small", The eel that stole Spongebob's ice cream cone throws it at his face. Different shots some show ice cream on Spongebob's nose, and some show that Spongebob's face is clean.
Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: Near the start, at first you can see words on the menu board, then you can't. (00:05:50)

Continuity mistake: In Wig Struck, Patrick takes a bite out of Spongebob's wig and in the next shot, the wig is restored.
