Question: In "Rock Bottom," why did the bus keep leaving Spongebob a million times if he tries to get back to Bikini Bottom? What's with the bus drivers?

Trainman

Answer: It's a cartoon, and it's funny that every time Spongebob leaves the station, even for a second, that's when the bus arrives. It's comedy, and there's no logic behind it.

Question: I wasn't the one who originally thought about this, but in "The Paper," why didn't Squidward just get another piece of wrapped gum and keep the wrapper of it or buy another one and keep its paper instead of trading SpongeBob everything he owned for the one he promised he could keep? Also, how could SpongeBob make the paper do everything he was able to make it to but Squidward couldn't?

Answer: Because it's a Spongebob cartoon. Nothing makes logical sense.
