Suggested correction: This mistake has already been corrected. The characters in this show are able to do impossible tasks, such as lighting fires underwater, walking in the air, drinking water from a glass underwater, cutting off their limbs and growing them back, etc. Spongebob blowing a bubble with a fishbowl on his head is just another one of those examples.

Suggested correction: This mistake can only be detected by freezing the film and advancing frame by frame. It is not visible while watching the film at a normal running speed. According to the rules of this site, this invalidates the error.
This is not true. You can see it disappear if you watch it at normal speed; it does not require pausing at all. At least, I am able to see it.

Suggested correction: The episodes are not always meant to be in chronological order. It's entirely possible that "Christmas Who?" took place before "Jellyfishing."

Plot hole: In "Once Bitten", Mr. Krabs never unlocks the doors to the Krusty Krab, but at the end of the episode, Squidward enters with no problem.

Suggested correction: Maybe Squidward has a key to the Krusty Krab that Mr. Krabs doesn't know about.
He could still have a key, but we don't see it.
Whether or not Squidward owns a key to the Krusty Krab is beyond the point of the mistake here. The point is that Squidward is able to walk into the Krusty Krab despite the doors being locked, and he doesn't use a key or anything else to unlock them. He just pushes them open.
Maybe the doors were not locked properly.

Continuity mistake: In "Procrastination" when Spongebob is moving back and forth on his chair while writing his essay there is no pencil on the desk, but when he goes back to work on the essay there is.

Suggested correction: The pencil is sitting to the right of the paper the entire time. It's hard to notice at first, but it's there.

SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Revealing mistake: In "Spongebob Meets The Strangler" when that fish holds up Spongebob's dry cleaning at the supermarket, it looks like he is holding it up with a coathanger because his hand is up in the air, but you can easily see nothing is holding it up. It's just floating up in the air.

Suggested correction: The clothes are being held up by a coat hanger. It may be hard to see due to it blending in with the wall color, but if you look closely, it's there.
