Correction: The show has established on more than a few occasions that it is far from factually accurate. Just a few examples, they walk around as if there was gravity, they can light fires underwater etc. To blow bubbles through a glass helmet is just another example of not being factually accurate but not a mistake in the context of the show.

Show generally

Corrected entry: The spots on SpongeBob always changes between shots. For example, one shot, there is a big round spot on him, but in the next shot, it would be either somewhere else, or in a different size.

Correction: This mistake is far too vague and not information is provided to determine whether it is legitimate. There is no example of when this occurs, no specific episode or even exactly what the mistake is, as Spongebob has numerous spots on him and where this spot change is.

The Bully / Just One Bite - S2-E17

Corrected entry: Spongebob can be hurt despite his spongeness. He has had his legs shoved through the top of his body after sand surfing with Sandy. He got a black eye from Patrick right before getting into the Salty Spitoon. He broke his butt. Sandy constantly beats him up in karate. He has fallen down stairs, rocks and cliffs and says, "Ow". So why can't Flats kick Spongebob's butt?

Mark English

Correction: It's a joke.

Show generally

Corrected entry: The location of the Krusty Krab or Spongebob's house must change often, as Spongebob often leaves his home and goes to the right or to the left to go to work, also the distance between them also changes.

Mark English

Correction: We can't see the Krusty Krab from his house, maybe he just likes to take different routes on different days.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode "Missing Identity", Patrick throws trash in SpongeBob's face. When Patrick is going to clean SpongeBob he finds a disc on the trash. That disc wasn't there before.

Correction: Yes, it was.

Correction: As long as I have watched the show it is always there.

Correction: No she's not. I've watched the episode closely and they don't even show her in any of the shots of people rooting for the squirrel jokes.

Krabby Land / The Camping Episode - S3-E19

Corrected entry: In "Krabby Land" SpongeBob arrives at the Krusty Krab, dressed like a flower, saying about the spring meaning, and so on. Later, when SpongeBob and Krabs know that there's a new park for children, Krabs says he has an idea and goes away. The next scene shows SpongeBob saying something like "What could happen with Mr. Krabs yesterday?" He says "yesterday", meaning that the scene with Mr. Krabs and the Krusty Krab was the day before. At the end of the episode, SpongeBob says "I thought I knew the spring meaning, but that was long ago." Squidward says "Wasn't that this morning?" But that was the day before, when SpongeBob arrives saying about the spring meaning dressed like a flower, not that day.

Correction: Squidward really doesn't like Spongebob. When he said, "wasn't that this morning?" he was being sarcastic and saying that Spongebob is basically stupid for changing his ideas so fast.

Sleepy Time / Suds - S1-E15

Corrected entry: In "Suds", we see that there's a mountain at the back of the Krusty Krab. I think it's obvious that the mountain isn't in any other episodes of the show.

Correction: The mountain is added for comedic value and many other landmarks in Spongebob change simply for the same reason. However in another episode, Spongebob races Sandy down the hill and the hill is behind the Krusty Krab.

Correction: This isn't really trivia. It is an obvious observation.

Correction: Thats not trivia. Its merely an obvious observation.

The Algae's Always Greener / Sponge Guard On Duty - S3-E7

Corrected entry: When Spongebob absorbs the water to save Patrick, and then throws it, you see that the lake has a large bottom. So, Patrick really could drown there. But later Larry arrives, and as he is walking in the lake, you see that the bottom of the lake is almost nothing.

Correction: This was a joke that the animators made. They were supposed to be drowning in what seemed like deep water, until Larry just casually walked in and got them.

No Free Rides / I'm Your Biggest Fanatic - S2-E10

Corrected entry: In "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic", Spongebob opens up his 'trunk' for Kevin and takes out the nets and jars. The arms that take out the nets are yellow, obviously Spongebob's arms, but the angle the arms come in from are impossible for Spongebob to realistically manage.

Correction: I know it is impossible for humans, but Spongebob is very, very bendy.

Something Smells / Bossy Boots - S2-E1

Corrected entry: When SpongeBob is at the movie theater, look at the blue fish with brown pants.(the one who is to the left of Patrick.) That fish is Fred. (he is the one who is always saying "My leg.") Fred is supposed to be dark green, but here he is light blue.

Correction: Actually no one fish has been identified as the one who says "My Leg". In the many instances you hear it , you never actually see who says it so using that as proof he has changed is not possible. I also believe he never identifies himself so saying its "Fred" is also impossible. It simply could be someone who looks like Fred.

Lummie

Correction: There is only one "blow up the arms" hole which is on his right arm. If he blows into one it blows up the other one two.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In "Idiot Box," Squidward takes a sombrero out of a box and says, "Why haven't I worn this?" This is the same sombrero he later wears in "The Camping Episode."

Correction: No, the one in "Idiot Box" was smaller than the one in "The Camping Episode."

Correction: If you look VERY carefully, you will see him in the wider shot.

Correction: No, it was blown off by Clamu.

Correction: The scene is primarily just a collection of quick cuts and in turn we only see a bit of whats going on. We just don't see them paying, but in many of the shots of Spongebob in the kitchen they could have given the money to Krabs. Before Spongebob returned to the restaurant they might have even paid the money and was the reason they were getting so restless.

Lummie

Correction: Not enough information to be able to make an accurate comparison. Plus how can you be even sure its the same character?

More trivia for SpongeBob SquarePants

Chosen answer: You need to provide a little bit more information to be able to answer a question like this. In what region is it not being shown? I see it being replayed here in Australia fairly frequently. As for a general reason, there does not appear to be any for why it specifically might have been taken off the air in any country or region. Like any show certain episodes can sometimes not be replayed for long periods for unknown reasons.
