No Free Rides / I'm Your Biggest Fanatic - S2-E10
Question: Why do the jellyfish continuously sting Kevin C. Cucumber? They, and even King Jellyfish, appear to despise him for some reason.
The Curse of Bikini Bottom/Squidward in Clarinetland - S7-E12
Question: What did Squidward mean when he said to himself, 'I knew I shouldn't have lent them my lawnmower'?
Born Again Krabs (aka A Penny Saved) / Safety Freak (aka I Had An Accident) - S3-E17
Question: Dr. Gill Gilliam freaks out when checking Mr. Krabs' health chart. What did he see that hinted to him that Krabs wouldn't be okay?
The Original Fry Cook / Night Light - S5-E9
Question: Why was Jim so critical of SpongeBob's fry cook skills?
Picture Day/Pat No Pay/Blackjack - S5-E13
Question: The ending of 'Blackjack' is a little confusing. Was Blackjack always tiny?
Question: There was supposedly one episode that ended with SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs all laughing in a boat. The laughing then silences, eventually to a stop. Then SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs walk out of the boat, and Squidward eventually walks out too. Which episode is this?
Valentine's Day / The Paper - S1-E16
Question: How come they never air this episode on TV anymore?
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.
Question: What is the episode when Spongebob is stepping on toy ducks?
Answer: "The Secret Box", or maybe "Karate Choppers".
Yeah, definitely "Karate Choppers."
Driven to Tears/Rule of Dumb - S4-E17
Question: Exactly how did Patrick get his licence when he can't even remember his own parents half the time?
Answer: I think that this was supposed to be an intended joke. Patrick is too stupid to remember or achieve most things and SpongeBob is able to remember and achieve most things, but the one thing that SpongeBob cannot achieve, is the one thing Patrick can achieve on the first go.
Question: Santa doesn't come to Bikini Bottom, but then Squidward receives a thank you letter from him and sees him and his reindeer in the ocean's sky. Why didn't Santa come before? The one voiced by John Goodman appeared in "It's a SpongeBob Christmas" stop-motion special at the bottom of the sea talking to the characters. Can somebody clarify this for me?
Answer: In the "Christmas Who?" episode's intro, Patchy the Pirate is reading a letter where a fan ask if Spongebob loves Christmas as much as he does. Patchy explains they didn't always celebrate Christmas and this episode is a flashback to the first time Bikini Bottom had heard of Christmas. Santa had never visited before because nobody had believed in him before. Santa finally does visit because of Squidward's Christmas spirit. The "It's a Spongebob Christmas" episode aired 12 years later. So by this time, Bikini Bottom had been celebrating Christmas for quite sometime. Santa comes for a special visit because of how everyone in town, except Plankton, is on his naughty list.
Valentine's Day / The Paper - S1-E16
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.
Driven to Tears/Rule of Dumb - S4-E17
Question: In "Driven To Tears", why was SpongeBob jealous of Patrick getting his license?
Chosen answer: Because though he is really bad at it, SpongeBob has been giving it everything he has for years to get a license. Patrick can barely walk and remember to breathe at the same time, and gets his on the first try.
Grandma's Kisses / Squidville - S2-E9
Question: If all the other residents had an exact personality like Squidward, how come they never got bored after all the time in Tentacle Acres?
Answer: Squidward only got bored because he likes SpongeBob and his antics more than he cares to admit. Seeing the way SpongeBob acts makes him realize just how boring Tentacle Acres really is.
I wouldn't say he likes SpongeBob but he brings a level of excitement to Squidwards life that tentacle acres doesn't.
Question: I've heard the rumor for a while that the show SpongeBob Squarepants was originally made for adults. The only "proof" I've seen of this is speculation of certain episodes with supposedly "adult" jokes and the town's name being Bikini Bottom. Does anyone have legitimate proof of this being true?
Answer: The show was always intended to be for kids (with the occasional joke for the grown-ups thrown in) The name Bikini Bottom follows with the theory that all of the characters in the show are able to speak because of an atomic blast, as the first atomic tests were conducted near the Bikini Islands...Bikini Bottom, meaning the bottom of the ocean at the Bikini Islands.
Actually this theory has been debunked in the show. Firstly, there are caveman versions of Spongebob and Patrick in the episode "SB-129" and Middle ages versions in "Dunces and Dragons." Also Tom Kenny (the voice of Spongebob, and sometimes Gary the Snail) has stated that the theory isn't true.
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?
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.
Dying For Pie / Imitation Krabs - S2-E6
Question: At the end of "Dying For Pie," how could the pie SpongeBob took out of his pants still be in flawless condition? Wouldn't it have been crushed in his pocket?
Answer: There's a lot of sight gags in the show, something ridiculous or impossible happening for a laugh. This is just one of them.
Jellyfish Hunters / The Fry Cook Games - S2-E16
Question: In "Jellyfish Hunters", when Mr. Krabs keeps saying "More" to Spongebob to get more jellyfish, there are several pictures of Mr. Krabs saying this. There is one quite disturbing picture of what looks like a mutated and rotten Mr. Krabs. Can anyone please explain what it's supposed to mean, or is it just some random joke?
Answer: More likely a random joke. Commonly in Spongebob they use awful looking pictures of the characters as a joke usually about their appearance. In one episode Mr Krabs talks about how Squidward and Spongebob are some of the finest crew mates he's ever had and then you see them looking horribly dressed, with almost mutated faces and nothing close to impressive as Krabs states. The entire show is primarily made up of visual jokes like these.
Answer: I have a better answer. This image is known as an internet meme, something [either a phrase of any actions] that are popular all over the internet.
The image became an internet meme AFTER the episode aired. It's not fan art or a meme that was subsequently used in the show, so the question of what is the reference or joke has nothing to do with it being a meme.
Question: In the movie, Mr. Krabs opens "The Krusty Krab 2" and looks like it's succeeding. But the episodes premiered after the movie came out don't show the restaurant. Did it go out of business?
Answer: Even if it did open during the TV series, we know that Mr. Krabs is extremely cheap and might have not wanted to pay taxes.
The Snowball Effect / One Krabs Trash - S3-E3
Question: In "One Krab's Trash", near the end Mr. Krab's tries to scare off the hat by using a ghost of a man's name he made up (Smitty Werben Jaegerman Jense.) At first, he pronounces Jaegerman as yay-grr, then just a few seconds later, starts pronouncing it as jayger. Is there a reason for this?
Answer: Mr. Krabs is making up a name on the spot...he wants Spongebob to think that the hat belongs to someone else, so he's just saying a random nonsense name. It's very probable that he could mess up parts of this name, since it's very long and complex.
The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14
Question: In Secret Box, throughout the whole episode he opens the box and looks at the picture at the 'Christmas party', how is this possible if he has to pull a string and he never does?
Chosen answer: Simple, he kept the photo in the box but not in the secret compartment. We never see the photo and we never know when it was in the secret compartment so it's possible he was looking at it and moved it when he was about to show Spongebob. Even if he wasn't looking at it, Patrick might have just been looking at the string and laughing or even just thinking about the picture. Patrick and Spongebob do in many instances laugh at the simplest things.
Answer: I believe this is the Season 6 episode "Spongicus".
