Texas / Walking Small - S1-E18
Corrected entry: How can everyone in Bikini Bottom hear Sandy's song if none of them have any ears?
Correction: Who knows? The people of bikini bottom might have ears, and we just don't know it.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV / Doing Time - S3-E1
Corrected entry: Spongebob turns the "M" on Mermaid Man's belt upside down to "W" to set it to "Wombo" to re-size Squidward. A few moments later in the same scene, it is an "M" again, without him ever touching it.
Correction: It's Patrick who turns the belt's M upside-down into a W. Then after SpongeBob activates it, while Patrick is shrinking down to Squidward's size, it really cannot be claimed, "it is an "M" again, without him ever touching it" because SpongeBob is offscreen during this time, so he actually does have the opportunity to simply turn it back to the M.
Culture Shock / F.U.N. - S1-E10
Corrected entry: In "F.U.N.", The police officer gives Spongebob a big donut with a ribbon on it, but he did not bring it, so he just pulls it out of nowhere, as if the donut was waiting by itself.
Correction: That's a common gag in cartoons. Even in a future episode, Fear of a Krabby Patty, how Spongebob pulled a piano out of nowhere and Plankton questioned where it came from.
Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8
Corrected entry: Why is every single person in Bikini Bottom wide awake and living their normal lives in the dead of night? It's way past midnight and people are walking their pets and Mrs. Puff is in her school, grading papers. No school would be open that late.
Correction: When you say, "No school would be open that late", you are referring to human schools? Real schools? Schools on land? We are talking about the absurd, vivid, totally UNrealistic world of Bikini Bottom, where they may live life as they see fit.
The Great Snail Race / Mid-Life Crustacean - S3-E15
Corrected entry: When Mr. Krabs comes upon an elderly person, the old man tells him to wait in line like everybody else, and then Mr. Krabs sees a bunch of elderly people waiting in line in front of a cemetery. Seconds later a man handing out ice cream to the elderly people suddenly appears in front of the entrance.
Correction: That's because Mr. Krabs was hallucinating the cemetery.
Nasty Patty / The Idiot Box - S3-E4
Corrected entry: In 'Nasty Patty' SpongeBob put the health inspector in the freezer. The police people open the door to discover that it's empty, moments later the inspector approaches them from behind from outside of the room. How did he manage to go outside without being seen and open the freezer door from the inside as there was no handle on the inside?
Correction: Knowing the show, it's common that character may be able to do impossible tasks. Also, there's an alternate mistake: there IS supposed to be a door handle inside as revealed in the episode SB-129.
Corrected entry: Patchy the pirate's hook changes hand from shot to shot.
Correction: It's a gag that Patchy's eyepatch and hook hand and peg leg switch sides or even disappear in some episodes. Not a mistake.
Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3
Corrected entry: In Plankton, when Plankton is taking over SpongeBob's mind, you see that he goes through the fridge with food on his head, but in the next shot, it's gone.
Correction: While the food is gone in the next shot, the shot isn't meant to be continuous. After he walks through the fridge he's in a completely different room about to step into his pants. He had plenty of time to shake the food off, or for it to fall off, between shots.
Corrected entry: In Imitation Krabs the first few shots show Spongebob's spatula without any slits in the head. However for every other episode it has slits in the head.
Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1
Corrected entry: In "Ripped Pants", SpongeBob rips the same pair of pants a lot of times.
Correction: That's the gag for the episode.
The Snowball Effect / One Krabs Trash - S3-E3
Corrected entry: How does Squidward get to the top of his snow fort if there's no stairs on the inside of it, not fall inside the snow fort without holding on? How does it snow underwater, and where did that big tree come from?
Correction: IT'S A CARTOON! Some suspension of disbelief is expected. Sea creatures don't talk or wear clothes either.
Correction: Remember: Squidward has six limbs (including arms). He could have been holding on to the sides of the fort. Besides, we don't know how long it took him to build the fort. As for the tree, common cartoon humor.
Corrected entry: The show Spongebob Squarepants was originally made for adults.
Correction: This is just a plain lie and started as an Internet rumor. The story behind the rumor was Spongebob Square Pants was originally going to air on Adult Swim. However, Spongebob debuted on Nickelodeon in 1999 and Adult Swim wasn't even created until 2001. Additionally, creator Stephen Hillenburg already worked with Nickelodeon on a previous children's show and always wanted to continue working with Nickelodeon.
The Algae's Always Greener / Sponge Guard On Duty - S3-E7
Corrected entry: When Plankton realizes he's in the Krusty Krab, the green fish walks past the window twice.
Correction: He only appears twice because the angle changes. When "Mr. Plankton" is looking out the window he's looking over to his far right when the green fish passes. Then the angle changes so we see straight out the window, which is to the left of the previous angle, so we see the green fish walking still.
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when Spongebob gets to the kelp bar and whenever he puts his hand in the bus vrooms, but watch when he runs over to catch the bus, he runs right through it.
Correction: That's not what happens. It might look like it, but it's clear that as he approaches the bus, the bus takes off and then we see Spongebob finish crossing the road once the bus is gone.
Corrected entry: In "Rock Bottom" when it shows SpongeBob with a glove on his nose, he looks out the window. In the next two scenes, it shows him again, but this time the little glove is gone.
Correction: The glove on his nose is gone when he pulls his head back into the bus, reasonable to think he lost it while his head was out the window, because it's not as if it reappears later.
Help Wanted / Reef Blowers / Tea at the Treedome - S1-E2
Corrected entry: At the beginning of "Reef Blowers", when Squidward exits his house, you can see that strangely his color is brown. But later in the episode he returns to his normal color, a light blue.
Correction: I don't see anything odd about his color, and he's certainly not brown.
Help Wanted / Reef Blowers / Tea at the Treedome - S1-E2
Corrected entry: In "Help Wanted" when Spongebob wakes up and is climbing up the diving board the number of bars greatly maximizes when it zooms out on it.
Correction: The close up shot shows 4 rungs (bars) and the wide shot (when it zooms out), there are still 4 rungs visible.
Help Wanted / Reef Blowers / Tea at the Treedome - S1-E2
Corrected entry: 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. 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.
Correction: First off, he's chopping lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Not patties. Second, all the buns have patties on them. Third, just because we can't see the tomatoes and onions doesn't mean they aren't there, under the lettuce. Often (especially in drawings), lettuce will stick out from the bun edges, but tomatoes and onions usually don't. Fourth, he's making hamburgers, not cheeseburgers and we never see him pull out cheese. And finally, this was his first day on the job, and he was feeding several buses of sardines, so if he changes the way he makes them in the future, it's understandable.
You Wish ('Shanghaied') / Gary Takes A Bath - S2-E11
Corrected entry: In the beginning when SpongeBob pours the Kelpo cereal he pours it over his glass of orange juice, plate of toast, and his bowl. When he brushes the cereal away the plate, the glass, and the bowl all disappear.
Correction: That was the point of the scene, that, along with the cereal, he swept the dishes away. In fact, in one shot you can see the cereal bowl being flung away.
Grandpappy the Pirate/Cephalopod Lodge - S6-E15
Corrected entry: Spongebob says "I'll get you back in that club, and I know just how to do it". He begins walking toward Squidward's dresser and says,"Everything we need is in this drawer". Spongebob retrieves a sock from Squidward's dresser, although he should not have known that Squidward kept his socks in that specific drawer anyway.
Correction: You have to understand, SpongeBob basically stalks squidward. Sponge Bob can get in and out of his house plus he has been there many times and he has also been in his dresser before.
Correction: It's a cartoon. You must suspend disbelief.
