Plot hole: Ep 3-21 Spongebob Meets The Strangler / Pranks A Lot: 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.

Plot hole: 3-21: Spongebob Meets The Strangler / Pranks A Lot, 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.

Continuity: In the episode "F.U.N", the chum bucket is not across the road from the Krusty Krab, but in every other episode it is.

Continuity: In "Pranks-A-Lot" when Sandy flies out of her dome in an escape pod to Texas, she leaves a big hole on top of her dome. In the next shot, it's gone. Very noticeable mistake.

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.

Plot hole: In the Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy episode with the shrink ray (Episode 3 or 4?) 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.

Continuity: In the episode "Help Wanted" when Spongebob makes Krabby Patties for the anchovies, Spongebob chops lettuce, patties, and onions for some of the buns and the buns don't have patties, tomatoes, or cheese on them. And when he's done dancing, when you look at the patty buns there is no onion but there is a patty and lettuce. Also in later episodes, the way he made those patties isn't the way he makes them now. And the way he makes them now has tomatoes and cheese on them. But this could probably be wrong due to it being a pilot episode.

Continuity: The Krusty Krab kitchen sometimes has deep fryers, and sometimes it doesn't. When it does, the fryers change locations in the room between episodes.

Continuity: In "Where's Gary?" the length of the paddle ball string that SpongeBob uses seems to vary in certain shots. While the length is somewhat subjective one shot that is more conclusive is when Patrick finds Spongebob lying on the floor. The string on the paddle ball is fairly short. When the two get up to get a glass of milk, the string is now a lot longer.

Continuity: Throughout the whole series there was never a tree in Squidward's front yard. But in episodes like Christmas Who and The Snowball Effect there is a tree in the middle of Spongebob and Squidward's houses.

Continuity: In the Tattletale Strangler episode, the Tattletale's dots on his head change numbers constantly. Sometimes there are 5 on his right, sometimes 6, sometimes his left side has a scar and 5 dots, sometimes a scar and no dots.

Continuity: REAL 3-18: Plankton's Army (aka Plankton's Last Stand) / Missing Identity: When the screen splits into 4, the last 2 events are not in chronological order. That is, they are not in the same order as they always have been.

Continuity: In the episode 'Shell of a Man", when SpongeBob pushes over Mr. Krabs' shell off of the chair at Mr. Krabs' desk, you can see that there are 2 eye holes, a nose hole, and a very large hole for the mouth. But when SpongeBob puts the shell on, both his nose and mouth are in the large mouth hole, and his eyes are in the eye holes. But there is no nose hole.

Continuity: In "Spongebob Meets The Strangler" 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: If you look carefully, you will notice that on the title sequence, patchy the pirate's eyepatch changes eyes. This varies from episode to episode.

Other: In "SpongeBob and the Clash of Triton," the title card says it is called "Neptune's Party," thus making it a wrong title.
