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.

Suggested correction: Maybe Squidward has a key to the Krusty Krab that Mr. Krabs doesn't know about.

ccoccia

Absolutely not. There is a very clear shot of Squidward pushing the doors open without a key.

zenee

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.

zenee

Maybe the doors were not locked properly.

Tenacle-vision/I Heart Dancing - S7-E8

Character mistake: In "I Heart Dancing", the lady at the Krusty Krab tells Spongebob the dancing audition is the next day. Later, Spongebob is practicing at Squidward's house for a whole night, and the next morning Squidward says they have one more day to practice, even though the audition should have been that day.

Suggested correction: The audition could have been during the afternoon.

Jellyfish Hunters / The Fry Cook Games - S2-E16

Plot hole: As Spongebob is trying to let the Jellyfish out of their enclosure after discovering what Mr Krabs is doing to them, Krabs says, "That door will only open if I say...open." Then he suddenly realises what he's said and the door opens. How come the door didn't open when in his sentence he first said open? The door didn't activate itself until he said open the second time.

Suggested correction: Two likely explanations: 1. He said it more the 2nd time. 2. There was a delay.

Suggested correction: In "The Snowball Effect", Squidward squirts the lemon wedge's juice into his left eye and he closes his left eye. There is no continuity error.

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.

Suggested correction: No, he is sitting in the middle the whole time.

Suggested correction: The eyepatch doesn't change position from episode to episode. You must be thinking of "Christmas Who?" where Patchy accidentally hits himself in the eye with his hook. And the pirate from the theme song's name is Painty the Pirate. Patchy and Painty are two completely different characters.

Suggested correction: No, it isn't. It says the exact line.

SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20

Plot hole: In the end of "Pranks A Lot" SpongeBob and Patrick glue the door shut in order to keep Mr. Krabs inside the Krusty Krab. When SpongeBob And Patrick are visible again, it turns out that a lot of customers have entered the Krusty Krab to see SpongeBob and Patrick naked. All of those people had no way to get into the Krusty Krab with the doors glued shut. It can't be that they broke down the doors, as they're still there.

Suggested correction: Mr. Krabs most likely washed the glue off the doors and let the people in.

Suggested correction: It does not land on his torso. When Patrick drops the watermelon on Squidward, his mouth is wide open in a very cartoonish way, and the watermelon lands inside it.

Suggested correction: So Gary not having eyelashes could count as an early design for him. It's common that characters and environments may undergo changes after a pilot. Not a mistake.

But Gary never had eyelashes.

Suggested correction: I just watched this episode and on at least two occasions I could see Patrick's home in the background.

Suggested correction: It's a pilot episode. Things can change with a show when it gets picked up into a series.

Christmas Who? - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In "Jellyfishing" when Squidward gets home from the hospital, Patrick exclaims Merry Christmas! However, later on in the series it is revealed that nobody in Bikini Bottom even knew what Christmas was.

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

Dunces and Dragons - S4-E6

Plot hole: After being spared, Medieval Sandy announced that she will help in the defeat of medieval Plankton. How did she know what they were planning?

Suggested correction: SpongeBob tells her their plan after he introduces himself to her.

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.

So, I reworded the mistake to say that it "briefly vanishes," because it's actually gone for a few frames, not one. I did not advance frame by frame to find the error. If you watch the scene at normal speed, it disappears for a brief moment, then comes back. I assume this correction might have been made without watching the scene, especially since the show was referred to as a "film."

zenee

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.

Mr. Krabs: Alright, Plankton! It's Eugene Krabs, here, with, What's-His-Name! Now come on out!

Plankton: I really can't come outside!

Show generally

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?

Answer: I believe this is the Season 6 episode "Spongicus".
