SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20

Plot hole: In "Pranks A Lot", Patrick and SpongeBob scare Sandy. When Sandy runs, gets into her rocket and flies away. When she moved bubbles appeared meaning there's water in her tree house. There's no water in there in other episodes because she's a land animal and breathes air.

SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20

Plot hole: When the invisible Spongebob and Patrick scare Sandy, they are using a sheet to appear as "ghosts". However, the form of the sheet reveals that they don't have their helmet bowls on. How could they survive in the treedome that time? They sounded fine, not dehydrated.

Suggested correction: Maybe Squidward has a key to the Krusty Krab that Mr. Krabs doesn't know about.

Absolutely not. There is a very clear shot of Squidward pushing the doors open without a key.

He could still have a key, but we don't see it.

Whether or not Squidward owns a key to the Krusty Krab is beyond the point of the mistake here. The point is that Squidward is able to walk into the Krusty Krab despite the doors being locked, and he doesn't use a key or anything else to unlock them. He just pushes them open.

Maybe the doors were not locked properly.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV / Doing Time - S3-E1

Plot hole: In "Mermaid man and Barnacle Boy", Plankton is shown as taller than the town at the end of the episode. However, when Spongebob is shrinking the people of Bikini Bottom, their sizes in the pickle jar seem to be equal with Plankton's actual height. In reality, Plankton should have been around the same size as the rest of Bikini Bottom's residence after the shrinking, not 5 times taller.

Jellyfish Hunters / The Fry Cook Games - S2-E16

Plot hole: As Spongebob is trying to let the Jellyfish out of their enclosure after discovering what Mr Krabs is doing to them, Krabs says, "That door will only open if I say...open." Then he suddenly realises what he's said and the door opens. How come the door didn't open when in his sentence he first said open? The door didn't activate itself until he said open the second time.

Suggested correction: Two likely explanations: 1. He said it more the 2nd time. 2. There was a delay.

Valentine's Day / The Paper - S1-E16

Plot hole: When SpongeBob goes to Sandy's house, he blows a chocolate bubble with the shape of a heart. Sandy opens a little door and the heart comes in. But, if the heart enters, don't you think that water would have also entered?

Patrick SmartPants/SquidBob TentaclePants - S4-E8

Plot hole: In 'Patrick SmartPants' Patrick lost the top of his head after falling off a cliff, but Spongebob put it back on. Suddenly Patrick's intelligence skyrocketed, but wanted to return to his former self in the end of the episode. To do this he re-enacted his fall, but it was unsuccessful. They eventually figured out that Spongebob had in fact not put on Patrick's head, but a 'brain collar'. How did Patrick posses his memories throughout the 'intelligent phase' despite not having his own head (and brain)?

SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20

Plot hole: In the end of "Pranks A Lot" SpongeBob and Patrick glue the door shut in order to keep Mr. Krabs inside the Krusty Krab. When SpongeBob And Patrick are visible again, it turns out that a lot of customers have entered the Krusty Krab to see SpongeBob and Patrick naked. All of those people had no way to get into the Krusty Krab with the doors glued shut. It can't be that they broke down the doors, as they're still there.

Suggested correction: Mr. Krabs most likely washed the glue off the doors and let the people in.

The Thing/Hocus Pocus - S4-E16

Plot hole: In 'The Thing' at the Zoo during the escape the guards were just behind them fleeing. Yet they had time to stop at the manhole, throw down Squidward and go down one by one and place back the cover without the guards noticing.

Dunces and Dragons - S4-E6

Plot hole: After being spared, Medieval Sandy announced that she will help in the defeat of medieval Plankton. How did she know what they were planning?

Suggested correction: SpongeBob tells her their plan after he introduces himself to her.

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.

Mr. Krabs: Come on outside, and take what's coming to you!
Plankton: I really can't come outside!

Question: There was supposedly one episode that ended with SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs all laughing in a boat. The laughing then silences, eventually to a stop. Then SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs walk out of the boat, and Squidward eventually walks out too. Which episode is this?

Answer: I believe this is the Season 6 episode "Spongicus".
