The Bully / Just One Bite - S2-E17
Question: In the episode "The Bully" why can't Flats beat up Spongebob? Spongebob's spongeness has never saved him from injury before or after this episode.

Answer: He does have bones in some episodes.
Those episodes and scenes were probably just jokes.

Question: In regards to two of the characters, Plankton and Sandy Cheeks. I have seen all the episodes but cannot figure out a few things on them. Sandy - Can someone tell me why Sandy lives under the ocean? I know she is very smart and is a keen scientist but what exactly made her move to the bottom of the sea? She seems to miss Texas a lot and it seems strange she decided to move to the bottom of the ocean. I know it's a cartoon but what's her motive? Plankton - I understand Plankton is always trying to steal the Krabby patty secret formula but has there been a reason exactly for stealing it? Was it to try and run Krabs out of business or use it for his own restaurant?
Chosen answer: Plankton has his own restaurant that is a flop. He wants the secret formula so he can be successful and beat Mr. Krabs in business. No reasons have been given for why Sandy moved underwater. Though she is an extreme daredevil personality, so maybe she did it to be different.
In the season 4 episode "Chimps Ahoy" there's a reason given about why Sandy lives at the bottom of the sea. Sandy's three bosses from Treedome Enterprises are coming to evaluate her inventions while she's been living under water, at the bottom of the sea. If she passes she will continue to receive their funding and can stay in Bikini Bottom, but if she fails she has to go back to Texas.

Question: Is it ever mentioned what ocean they are in?
Answer: Judging by the French narrator, and the tropical atmosphere, I'd say they're meant to be in the Galapagos.
The Pacific Ocean is where the Bikini islands are located.

Chosen answer: As Spongebob explained in the certain episodes he has no bones so the force of the flats punches have no effect. To be more technical there is nothing solid that Flats can punch into and hence why it has no effect. Spongebob has never really been injured and there really isn't any incidents I can recall that his "spongeness" ever came into question of being hurt or injured.
