Correction: The close up shot shows 4 rungs (bars) and the wide shot (when it zooms out), there are still 4 rungs visible.

Correction: One of the running gags on the show is that both Patchy's eye patch and hook switch from right to left continuously.

Corrected entry: The road to the Krusty Krab changes depending on the episode. Like in "Your Shoe's Untied" it is a crossroad, but in "Pickles" it's just a road going to the side.

logan crews

Correction: And sometimes the Krusty Krab is a long distance from Spongebob's house, and sometimes it's literally right across the street. Normal continuity does not seem to apply in Bikini Bottom. Things shift and change all the time, on purpose.

Correction: You will have to be a bit clearer as to when this mistake occurs. Spongebob is pouring and then needs a ladder to reach the top of the food as he keeps pouring.

Lummie

Correction: Throughout the series, Patrick's teeth repeatedly change for jokes. It's just part of the show.

SpongeBob BC - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When Patchy is being "eaten" by the t-rex, you can tell he is lying down flat on his back on a green screen floor, and the t-rex is just a puppet held next to him.

logan crews

Correction: Yes, we can all tell that it's a puppet, which is why it was deliberately drawn that way for the humor. So where's the mistake?

Correction: He does not say he has no money. He just couldn't find it. While Spongebob was looking for the money, he kept hitting the bus driver, who got so irritated, he told Spongebob to forget it.

Brad

Correction: Spongebob has been known to recover from various injuries throughout the show. This is just part of the show's random nature.

Brad

Correction: The coffins were there simply for a joke, and that's why they deliberately disappear.

Brad

Correction: The toilet was there simply for a joke.

Brad

Correction: It was there for that joke and that joke only. This occurs all the time in Spongebob.

Brad

Correction: Mr. Krabs says, "Then we add undersea veggies and cheese". He doesn't forget it.

Brad

Correction: This is done for dramatic effect. It lands with such force and frightens Patrick and Spongebob. The fact the pencil lands more like a missile fits in with the environment of the show, i.e. That Bikini Bottom has gravity despite being underwater. The fact they are able to launch the pencil back up with the same force shows its not a one off as well.

Lummie

Correction: That's because they are not part of his shirt. Look at when he takes off his pants, his shirt always stays with it but his sleeves never seem to be part of it. Chalk it up to another mystery of the show.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III / Squirrel Jokes - S2-E4

Corrected entry: In "Mermaid Man And Barnicle Boy 3" when Man-Ray puts on that metal arm, he puts a bomb thing on top of it. But when Spongebob and Patrick use the orb of confusion on themselves and Man-Ray points to the city right after Spongebob and Patrick crash the Invisible Boatmobile, the bomb thing is not on the metal hand anymore.

logan crews

Correction: There was enough time for him to have used it or taken it off or something else. After putting it on, he melts Spongebob and Patrick down and then takes off. The scenes then follow the duo before catching up with Man-Ray and crashing the invisible boat mobile.

Lummie

Correction: Patrick's excess armpit hair was done for the purpose of that joke. Many times in Spongebob, they use something for a joke and never use it again.

Brad

Correction: The tan is more of a visual joke and fits into the show's constant use of making a character look one way for a very brief albeit instant change before reverting back to how they originally looked. Examples include Patrick looking much fatter and with more armpit hair before returning to his normal weight and less armpit hair.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode "Pressure," Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs and Squidward go up to land and they can breathe air. But in other episodes like "Tea at the Treedome," Spongebob can't breathe air in the dome, or like "Big Pink Loser," where Patrick says, "Island, I got an award," but he can't breathe air for even a few seconds.

logan crews

Correction: There is a few differences with the dome and when the gang was on the surface. The dome is somewhat like a glass house, sunlight is essentially the only element entering. That means there is either little to no moisture and no wind. Additionally the sunlight would make it much warmer than outside drying them out much quicker. With moisture in the air on the surface they would last longer. As we see they don't stay very long on the surface. As for when Patrick can't breath for very long in "Big Pink Loser" he was racing around everywhere and might have had to exert more energy jumping out of the water. In "Pressure" they were close to the surface before going on land.
