Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1
Character mistake: Ripped Pants: During the opening credits, Paul Tibbitt's name is misspelled as "Paul Tibibitt" (it is spelled correctly the second time it is shown), and Mark O'Hare's name is misspelled as "Mark O'hare." (00:11:54)
Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Hall Monitor: When SpongeBob sees the open window to the house, the window is opened to the left. When the two fish run out of the house after SpongeBob scares them, the window is opened the opposite way, then reverts back in the next shot. (00:05:19)
Best Day Ever/The Gift of Gum - S4-E20
Revealing mistake: When Squidward says "I suppose if you haven't fixed my clarinet, the concert would have been a bust", Sandy's tail is the same color as her suit.
Revealing mistake: In "Not Normal" when SpongeBob says "Hmm. This video tape should help," his left arm is missing. (00:01:25)
Revealing mistake: At the end of "Wormy", Patrick's eyes are missing.
Club SpongeBob / My Pretty Seahorse - S3-E12
Revealing mistake: In Club SpongeBob, when SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward are in the forest, Squidward asks the magic conch shell if he can have something to eat. Straight after he asks "Can't you say anything else but 'No'?", it has a close-up of the shell. But Squidward's arm appears to be yellow, like SpongeBob's. This error was later corrected in 2019 when the episode was remastered for digital releases.
The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: When SpongeBob is sneaking to Patrick's house, Squidwards house is missing.
Trivia: In "Where's Gary?" when Spongebob takes the Dirty Bubble Challenge, look closely at the paddleball box; it has the Nickelodeon logo on it.
SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: 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.
Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When SpongeBob asks Squidward to play his clarinet better, he is wearing his night shirt which is purple, but in the next shot he is wearing his normal shirt which is brown.
Atlantis SquarePantis - S5-E12
Revealing mistake: Atlantis SquarePantis: After the Atlantis van crashes through the museum's ceiling, Squidward is surprised that it's the magical path to Atlantis, and while Krabs says, "Nice hot rod flames," note how only the disembodied tip of Patrick's arm clips in front of SpongeBob's body (it even moves as Patrick moves), due to an animation error in this shot. (00:09:55)
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of Rock Bottom, when the bus pulls up in front of Patrick and SpongeBob, right before Patrick steps up onto the bus, SpongeBob's right arm is missing and it suddenly appears as he starts moving.
Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The words "Total Control" constantly appear and disappear from the controlling device in Spongebob's brain.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV / Doing Time - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the guard pulls Mrs. Puff out of the rock yard, her hat is red, then blue, then red again throughout the cuts in the scene.
Enemy In-Law/Mermaidman and Barnacleboy VI: The Motion Picture - S4-E7
Other mistake: Plankton's phone doesn't have a 0 button on it.
Revealing mistake: Near the end of "Rock Bottom", when SpongeBob arrives back to Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob's pineapple is animated differently from the other buildings. It looks like it was cheaply tacked on in post production.
Dying For Pie / Imitation Krabs - S2-E6
Revealing mistake: In the episode "Dying For Pie", you can see Mr. Krabs' legs disappear when Squidward says, "But you can't pay me enough to act brotherly on that guy!"
Chocolate With Nuts / Mermaid Man And Barnacle Boy V - S3-E11
Revealing mistake: In one scene with Spongebob, Patrick, an old lady, and her almost dead mom, in one part Spongebob has no holes on his face. There is also a light-colored spot near Patrick's mouth.
Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: In "Squeaky Boots", Mr. Krabs starts hearing squeaky sounds everywhere. Then he goes mad and says he took the boots from SpongeBob. At this point, notice the restaurant floor's colour. Mr. Krabs lifts the whole restaurant, but we can still see some floor (where Krabs is). Notice that now the colour of the floor has changed.
The Graveyard Shift / Krusty Love - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: In "Graveyard Shift," when Squidward says to that guy they think is the hash-slinging slasher, "If that was you on the phone and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?" look at the "order here" sign. It says "order hear" instead of "order here," which it reads in previous shots during this episode.
