Arrgh! / Rock Bottom - S1-E17

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.

Pest of the West - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Krabs', Squidward's and Puff's ancestors attempt to flee with the coach they pass way more buildings, seen in the background, than there actually are as shown in the overhead view of the town.

Banned in Bikini Bottom/Stanley S. SquarePants - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: Stanley S. SquarePants: When Stanley's first customer tries to place an order Stanley pulls out a camera on a tripod, and in the next shot as Stanley hugs the customer for their first picture, the kitchen door behind them does not have the usual porthole, instead it has an anchor on it just like the door to Krabs' office.

Super Grover

Patrick SmartPants/SquidBob TentaclePants - S4-E8

Plot hole: In 'Patrick SmartPants' Patrick lost the top of his head after falling off a cliff, but Spongebob put it back on. Suddenly Patrick's intelligence skyrocketed, but wanted to return to his former self in the end of the episode. To do this he re-enacted his fall, but it was unsuccessful. They eventually figured out that Spongebob had in fact not put on Patrick's head, but a 'brain collar'. How did Patrick posses his memories throughout the 'intelligent phase' despite not having his own head (and brain)?

The Snowball Effect / One Krabs Trash - S3-E3

Other mistake: In 'The Snowball Effect' when Squidward attempts to make Patrick and Spongebob resume their snowball fight he throws a snowball at them which they avoid, and it puts out Squidward's fire inside. Squidward had his back towards his house and threw the snowball in the opposite direction.

Wormy / Patty Hype - S2-E7

Other mistake: At the very end, Sandy puts Wormy inside of a glass jar. Not only does she break the bubble surrounding it, there's no way for water not to enter the jar as she holds it sideways. Wormy should be killed.

House Fancy/Krabby Road - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: Plankton's size changes drastically throughout Krabby Road. Plankton can be seen as reaching up to Spongebob's waist at one point. When he's clutching to the neck of a guitar, the amount of frets that go into his height change between one, two, three, and five, depending on the shot. (00:02:10)

Dying For Pie / Imitation Krabs - S2-E6

Mr. Krabs: What's the most important rule here?
Spongebob: No free napkins?
Mr. Krabs: No, the other most important rule!
Spongebob: Only discuss the secret formula with Mr Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: As long as you do that, the formula is safe.
Squidward: I thought the most important rule was why do today what you can put off for tomorrow?
Mr. Krabs: But what's today, but yesterday's tomorrow?
Squidward: What?
