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.

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.

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.

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: No, it was blown off by Clamu.

Correction: The fact that they have skeletons is part of the joke, and therefore doesn't have to be entirely factual.

Correction: Yes, logically they would float up. But remember, for the humor of the show, hardly anything is logical in Spongebob. So it's not really a mistake, even a deliberate one.

Correction: Mr Krabs has shown on many cases to suddenly change his mind about how the Krusty Krab works. With no notice he has made Spongebob and Squidward deliver pizzas, forced them to work longer hours when he changed it to being open 24 hours a day and so on. Being that its now open Sunday is not exactly too much of a stretch.

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

Corrected entry: In "No Free Rides," two cops watch Mrs. Puff and Spongebob fighting over the wheel of the car. There is a billboard next to the cops that says "Accident?" Later, when Mrs. Puff and Spongebob crash into the cops, the billboard reads "Accidente?" It changed to Spanish.

Correction: If you look carefully, the billboard has always said "Accidente?".

Correction: Patrick DOESN'T have a nose and in quite a few episodes thats made very clear. In "Wet painters" it was just done for comedic effect as Spongebob pulled out only one hair for his brush but Patrick pulled out a huge gob of hair.

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

Corrected entry: SpongeBob grabs the car after Ms Poff steals his boat. After a while, an "Educative television" sing appears that stops SpongeBob. There's a shot of Ms. Poff hearing SpongeBob screaming because of the television. But SpongeBob is in the radio area at the time. How can he be in two places at the same time?

Correction: We hear his voice becoming fainter as Puff drives on and just before she turns on the radio we don't hear him screaming anymore.

Lummie

Correction: The likely reason is that Sandy's dome had no air movement or moisture. For example if you had a wet towel it will dry much quicker in a glass enclosure than just outside in the sun. Being on the surface they wouldn't have dried out as quickly and they were only there for less than a minute. In Sandy's dome they were there for a much longer period.

Lummie

Correction: They don't EAT the snow to survive, they realise the snow is just water when they eat it. Sandy's treedome was uninhabitable to sealife because there was no water and the sun dried them out. The cold of the snow meant they didnt need their helmets filled with water to survive.

Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off - S2-E2

Corrected entry: In 'Your Shoe's Untied', Spongebob inches along the kitchen of the Krusty Krab to hand the patty to Squidward. You can see from the background that he moves past a box of patties, and even farther (judging by the time he takes), yet he remains in the same spot. I understand that it's for comedic effect, but it still doesn't make any sense.

Correction: The entire time we only see Spongebob's expression, and presumably what he was thinking. In other words he believed he had was right next to Squidward. When he tries to hand the patty he is no where near and Squidward yells "I'm over here now move!" indicating Spongebob thought he was closer than he actually was.

Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off - S2-E2

Corrected entry: In 'Your Shoe's Untied', Spongebob slams his feet into the floorboards so that Patrick couldn't see that his shoes were still untied. He drags his feet along under the floor. How could he walk with his feet under the floor, if he can't even walk normally?

Correction: Simple, he was shuffling his shoes. When he stomps his shoes into the floarboards he never lifts them again and just slowly moves forward. Like in the kitchen later on he was trying to shuffle his feet.

Lummie

Correction: The whole reason she started crying was she was woken up by the peanut and had just found her egg missing. Clamu must have still been asleep when Krabs stole the egg meaning she didn't know it was missing. Spongebob throwing the peanut just woke her up and her distressed look was realising her egg had gone.

Lummie

Correction: The cloud around Spongebob is probably only meant to show that now Patrick has bad breath, therefore there wouldn't be any real reason to have it reflect.

Something Smells / Bossy Boots - S2-E1

Corrected entry: When Pearl tells Spongebob to remove the buns, patties and condiments from the Krabby Patty, Spongebob states that only left the tomatoes and lettuce. Yet in many other episodes, like "Pickles", the Krabby Patty also has onions and pickles, which are not counted as condiments.

Correction: Maybe they are not but onions and pickles are not normally used in salads anyway. Also pickles and onions seems to frequently not be shown on Krabby Patties in the show. Many of the episodes you never see the pickles and onions in the burgers even when they are made. So in theory its possible he didnt foget those items, they were just never there (onions and pickles) to begin with.

Lummie

Correction: There is nothing to indicate Gary wore those shoes all the time. In the episode "Your Shoe's untied" he was trying to show Spongebob he knew how to tie shoes and showed his own. Besides in that episode he also had a record player under his shell which wasn't there when the shell breaks.

The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14

Audio problem: At the end of "Band Geeks" when everyone is playing "Sweet Victory" at one point Mrs. Puff is shown playing the guitar. When this happens, you can see the others in the background not doing anything, even though their instruments are heard.
