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: In the scene where SpongeBob has given his pants to the clam, two continuity errors appear. First, Patrick puts his head in the pants and he says that the clam is hungry. A lot of holes are in his head. In the very next shot, the holes are gone. This is really obvious. The other continuity error is that before Patrick gets those holes, SpongeBob isn't with his pants. When he tries to give the Patty to the clam, he's suddenly with his pants, when the little clam is supposed to have his pants.
