Lummie

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: Spongebob and Patrick are only shown briefly and a number of issues are not known either. For starters they struggle in Sandy's treedome without water but can survive a good period of time. Additionally Sandy is aware of this so might be giving them water, wet herself while they are draped around her etc. Additionally the conditions of the treedome would vary with the seasons. Being it was the beginning of spring it wouldn't likely be quite as hot meaning they would survive a lot longer than say in Summer.

Lummie

Correction: It was part of the bigger joke. A few moments before Sandy came out they (Spongebob and Patrick) were talking about now being prepared to face the cold harsh winter. All of a sudden it goes from freezing cold to Spring in a split second. Everything including Sandy has changed within those moments.

Lummie

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: Spongebob's makeup is constantly changed throughout the series for comedic effect. In one episode he melts into a puddle despite being a sponge. In the same episode his nose deflates like a balloon when pierced by a needle.

Lummie

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.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In Imitation Krabs the first few shots show Spongebob's spatula without any slits in the head. However for every other episode it has slits in the head.

Correction: This would only be a mistake if it was say the same scene, some period. Different spatula between episodes could be allowed for a variety of reasons.

The Great Snail Race / Mid-Life Crustacean - S3-E15

Corrected entry: How can there only be the three race contestants (Squidward, Spongebob, and Patrick)? Squidward surely wouldn't have spent his hard earned money just to con the other two into joining a race, so there should be more snails in the race. If Spongebob and Patrick had decided they didn't care about the race, would Squidward's snail have won by default, since there were no other racers?

Danelle Williams

Correction: Rule of thumb on plot holes is they must contradict something. Granted it's strange there are only two other contestants but there is no mistake in it either.

Lummie

Correction: The crowd is just shouting out what they want on their burgers. Just a character mistake on Spongebob perhaps.

Lummie

Grandma's Kisses / Squidville - S2-E9

Corrected entry: In Grandma's kisses, Patrick is taking a nap. Then Spongebob has a fit about wishing he could be a baby again. But through the fit, Patrick doesn't appear for the rest of the episode. There is even a shot of the couch Patrick was sleeping on, empty.

Correction: There is more than enough time during these scenes for Patrick to have left.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In various episodes the rooms in Spongebob's house change, and make it too big to all be the same size as the exterior of his house.

Correction: First of all this mistake seems to be more opinionated than factual, secondly it is far too ambiguous to confirm or deny. Please try using an example to illustrate a mistake like this.

Lummie

Correction: This mistake is far too ambiguous to confirm or deny, please use an example to illustrate a mistake like this.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In several episodes, Squidward and Spongebob are cleaning plates and cups at the Krusty Krab - but you never see anyone eating/drinking out of one at the Krusty Krab.

Correction: This mistake is far too ambiguous to confirm or deny, please use an example to illustrate a mistake like this.

Lummie

Correction: In purple pink loser there is someone eating and drinking.

Correction: Spongebob made him a full sized sweater, no one in the world has that many eyelashes so the eyebrows were likely the next best thing. As it was meant to be a personal gift this might have been his only option. As for not seeing the eyebrows before, it's a visual joke that is done numerous times in the show. In one episode Patrick for a short scene had a much larger stomach and a lot more underarm hair and then all of sudden it goes back to normal.

Lummie

Correction: The show has established on more than a few occasions that it is far from factually accurate. Just a few examples, they walk around as if there was gravity, they can light fires underwater etc. To blow bubbles through a glass helmet is just another example of not being factually accurate but not a mistake in the context of the show.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: The spots on SpongeBob always changes between shots. For example, one shot, there is a big round spot on him, but in the next shot, it would be either somewhere else, or in a different size.

Correction: This mistake is far too vague and not information is provided to determine whether it is legitimate. There is no example of when this occurs, no specific episode or even exactly what the mistake is, as Spongebob has numerous spots on him and where this spot change is.

Lummie

Sleepy Time / Suds - S1-E15

Corrected entry: In "Suds", we see that there's a mountain at the back of the Krusty Krab. I think it's obvious that the mountain isn't in any other episodes of the show.

Correction: The mountain is added for comedic value and many other landmarks in Spongebob change simply for the same reason. However in another episode, Spongebob races Sandy down the hill and the hill is behind the Krusty Krab.
