Correction: That's because the lab is outside the dome. There wouldn't be any point in wearing a water helmet if they were outside of the dome because they would already be breathing water.

Casual Person

Show generally

Corrected entry: Throughout the whole series there was never a tree in Squidward's front yard. But in episodes like Christmas Who and The Snowball Effect there is a tree in the middle of Spongebob and Squidward's houses.

Correction: That could easily be a Christmas tree. It is snowing in these episodes, which most likely means it's Winter. The most well-known icon for Winter is Christmas, so the tree could have been put up for Christmas.

Correction: Actually, it could be. We see that the Chum Bucket is just by the edge of town, and it is seen at the edge of the screen. Although off screen, the Krusty Krab is probably right there too.

The Bully / Just One Bite - S2-E17

Corrected entry: In "Just One Bite" Squidward tell Spongebob that he has never tasted a Krabby patty. However in a previous episode "Your Shoe's Untied", Spongebob fires numerous Krabby Patties at him as he keeps tripping over his shoelaces and Squidward eats them all.

Lummie

Correction: Is has been proven several times that the order that the episodes are released in isn't the chronological order of Spongebob's life. For example, Squidward locked himself in the freezer in SB-129 (Season 1) for thousands of years without interruption, but in the health inspector episode (Season 3), Spongebob goes into the freezer and Squidward isn't there. We can assume that this episode happened in Squidward's life before "Your Shoe's Untied".

Show generally

Corrected entry: There are times when Spongebob is right handed and other times when he's left handed. For instance, in the episode where he has to wear round pants, he fills out the Krusty Krab application with his right hand, but as he's taking notes from Squidward he's using his right hand.

Correction: In the episode "The Splinter" he mention's that he's ambidextrous. Not a mistake.

Fawkes the Phoenix

He also says he's extremely ambidextrous in You Don't Know Sponge.

Naughty Nautical Neighbors / Boating School - S1-E4

Corrected entry: When Patrick tells SpongeBob how to drive with the walkie-talkie, and SpongeBob starts driving with his help, you can see that in the track there's a wall of red bricks, that he must not crash. In order for not to crash it, SpongeBob must continue the road, turn left, turn right and turn right again. However, Patrick just says to continue the road, turn left and turn right. He didn't say about turning right again, and SpongeBob must have turned right to continue in the road. However, SpongeBob does continue in the road.

Correction: SpongeBob obviously realizes that he will crash if he doesn't turn, so he turns. He has enough boating skills to know how to turn.

Culture Shock / F.U.N. - S1-E10

Corrected entry: In "Culture Shock," at the beginning of the talent show, Squidward says, "Welcome to the first annual Talent Show," which means they would have one once a year. However, at the end of the episode, Mr. Krabs says something like, "I can't wait till next week's show," meaning they would have one once a week.

Correction: Mr. Krabs says this after he notices the big wheelbarrow of money. We can assume he changed the talent show from once a year to once a week to get more money.

Correction: This is a question, not a movie mistake. It is never mentioned that the whole sculpture is made from the same material, so we can assume that the eyes were made from some other material, otherwise they would have melted like the rest of the sculpture.

Correction: This is a common animation technique used in almost every cartoon to save time and energy. No mistake here.

Correction: Spongebob simply retraced the circle 4 or 5 times.

Correction: Watch the scene again, there is always 6 coins.

Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3

Corrected entry: In "Plankton", when Plankton has Spongebob in his laboratory, Plankton plays his record of evil music. However, he left the record on Spongebob's bed earlier in the episode.

Correction: It's called cartoon logic. Characters pull objects out of nowhere all the time in cartoons. In a show about a talking sponge, it's okay for the laws of reality to be broken.

No Weenies Allowed / Squilliam Returns - S3-E6

Corrected entry: In "Squilliam Returns", when Spongebob erases everything from his mind, (except fine dining and breathing) his brain is shown shredding papers. When his brain shreds memory, one paper shredded is entitled "Spice Garden Tips". Later when Squilliam arrives, Spongebob serves him the "Krabby Newburg" which he says, "contains herbs from our garden". But if Spongebob forgot his "Spice Garden Tips", he would not be able to prepare that dish. (00:05:40)

JT

Correction: While I have to applaud the attention to detail, preparing food with seasonings from an existing garden would not require tips on how to grow one.

Grumpy Scot

Show generally

Corrected entry: This occurs in many episodes. Sometimes, Spongebob will walk into the Krusty Krab to start the work day and customers already have food. Squidward and Mr. Krabs have both been proven to be bad chefs, so it couldn't have come from them. Some examples: it occurs in "Sailor Mouth", "Where's Gary", and "Pressure".

Correction: As shown in "Just One Bite," the Krusty Krab has a Patty Vault full of Krabby Patties that SpongeBob replaces every 4:00 am.

Correction: When Patrick takes his donut we only see one side of it, and since the chocolate glaze is only on one side of the donut, we wouldn't be able to see it if the glaze was on the other side.

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

Show generally

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.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: All of the characters in the show get hurt at one time or another, and then the injuries immediately disappear. It's one of the main, ongoing sight gags of the entire show, and it's done entirely on purpose.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Since when does that happen? I've seen a lot of the series, and that has never happened so this is a mistake.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In some episodes, SpongeBob's house is apparently an actual pineapple (e.g. "Home Sweet Pineapple"), but in other episodes, it is apparently made of wood like in "Opposite Day", when they tear down the house and rebuild it.

Correction: Things in Bikini Bottom change all the time. For example, sometime's Squidward's house is there, and sometimes it's not.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Number one, Spongebob and Patrick are idiots. Number two, the episodes have been proven to not appear in chronological order. For example, the freezer is empty in "Health Inspector" yet Squidward was frozen in it 2 seasons earlier.
