Naughty Nautical Neighbors / Boating School - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Squidward starts making pink bubbles with messages, he goes to his backyard. Notice he never closed the back window of his house. When he starts laughing because of the messages, suddenly the window is closed. After Patrick saves Squidward, the window is still closed, but when they go to the front of his house, the window is open.

Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: After Spongebob's house is gone, Squidward boo-hoos and goes into his house, then sounds happy. He starts throwing streamers and confetti out of his NOT-OPEN porthole. If the porthole was closed, they wouldn't fly out. Similar to some other ones in this show, and one in Fairly Odd Parents.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy / Pickles - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy", when SpongeBob and Patrick are watching TV viewing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy show, you can see that these heroes have 5 fingers on their hands, as the real human beings. However, when SpongeBob and Patrick meet these heroes, as in the rest of the show, you can see that now, the heroes, have 4 fingers on their hands, as cartoon characters usually have.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy / Pickles - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: When Barnacle Boy opens the box with the two rings inside, in the closeup the "B" ring is on the left and the "M" ring on the right, but in the wideshot Barnacle Boy removes the ring on the left (the "B") and places it on Mermaid Man's finger, then in the next shot we see it's the "M" ring, before both rings vanish.

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In "Jellyfish jam", when SpongeBob shows the jellyfish to Squidward, and the jellyfish starts to do a lot of things, you see that Squidward is looking by his porthole in his house. The porthole is closed. However, when he says "How can anybody have fun with a jellyfish?" his arms go outside the porthole. But this is impossible, since the porthole is closed.

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In episode 1-7, Hall Monitor, Patrick says Spongebob is at the intersection of Conch and Coral, and we then see the street sign. However when we see Spongebob standing on the road, there is only one road, and no intersection.

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In "Hall Monitor" when SpongeBob is pretending to be the "open window bandit," you can see a red piece of coral outside of the house that he is about to break in to. When he jumps through the open window, frightens the people inside, and they run out of the house, the red piece of coral is gone.

Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In "Squeaky Boots", Mr. Krabs starts hearing squeaky sounds everywhere. Then he goes mad and says he took the boots from SpongeBob. At this point, notice the restaurant floor's colour. Mr. Krabs lifts the whole restaurant, but we can still see some floor (where Krabs is). Notice that now the colour of the floor has changed.

The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14

Audio problem: At the end of "Band Geeks" when everyone is playing "Sweet Victory" at one point Mrs. Puff is shown playing the guitar. When this happens, you can see the others in the background not doing anything, even though their instruments are heard.
