Line 61:
*** It's a combination of Rule of Funny and a pun on the fact that underwater critters suffer because of human littering and waste. It doesn't have to make consistent sense in-universe.
** This troper is reminded of the song ''Alice's Restaurant'', which does involve getting arrested, by the FBI yet, for littering.
**** The [[Police Are Useless]], and it also doubles as a [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']].
* Is anybody else bugged by the fact that SpongeBob casually ruins the lives of all of his "friends?" I mean, it's not even crossing the line twice, he just creates genuinely horrible situations for people.
** Pretty much only in the newer episodes.
Line 83:
** Perhaps the wind is a water current?
** ...You weren't at all surprised that during the surfing episode, they wash up on an island ''underwater''?
** Well, for that last one, there actually are undersea lakes. All it takes is water with much higher saline concentration. Search [[YouTube]], if you may, "Blue Planet" has shown it at least once. For the rest... [[
** While we're on the subject, does anybody else realize that the submarine shouldn't even work underwater? Or that all the episodes referenced to here are [[Sequelitis|after the movie]]?
* Why is SpongeBob shaped like a regular house sponge when his parents are shaped like sea sponges?
Line 195:
** Well, he did get better at the end.
* Okay, in the slide-whistle episode, after Squidward ends up in the hospital, SpongeBob and Patrick run amuck in the hospital having fun with the slide whistles. Right at the end, they interrupt a doctor sewing up a belly by imitating his actions with slidewhistles while they stand on a skylight above. The doctor starts laughing, and ''pulls the sewed up skin while he laughs''. My question is this: [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Why is there a skylight in what is quite likely an operating room]]?
** You forget, in the new ones, SB and Patrick are [[Karma Houdinis]] to the Nth degree, while Squidward [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']].
* Why doesn't Plankton ever try to pump SQUIDWARD for information on how to make a Krabby Patty? He's demonstrated on numerous occasions that he knows how to make them, and he'd probably be pretty easy to buy off, given his hatred of his job.
** Because Plankton doesn't have the money, as a failing businessman, to bribe him.
Line 235:
** Perhaps they were so badly bored that they lost their appetites?
* In Boating Buddies... When Squidward complains that SpongeBob is the one that ruins his life, Mrs. Puff says, "You too?", which is very accurate. But... why did she put them together to drive?! And don't say "Alphabetical by last name", you think she would help the guy she can relate to! What, did she think they would have to suffer together?
** Taken further in "Summer Job" when Mrs. Puff is blackmailed into taking over Squidward's job for a week. She doesn't last one day of SpongeBob's idiocy and Krab's abuse before quitting, blasting that taking over the life Squidward lives [[Was It Really Worth It?|isn't worth evading criminal charges]].
* Why doesn't Plankton simply get someone else to buy a Krabby Patty for him?
** Lampshaded in the episode where his computer wife, Karen, goes over and buys one for him as an anniversary present.
Line 265:
* If Squidward plays the clarinet horribly, how does he get so many shows and rehearsals?
** People can't throw stuff at him if he only plays at home.
** [[Wild Mass Guessing|Also, it's possible that he only gets the shows because of his]] [[So Bad
* A few episodes show SpongeBob and Squidward having Sunday as their day off. So how can that episode where the K.K. is open 24 hours and forever work out? Squidward really wanted to go home, so why didn't he just go home on Sunday?
** It wasn't their day off, they just forgot to switch the "closed" sign to "open".
Line 380:
{{quote| '''Sandy:'''Which one of you is the ''real'' Dirty Dan?<br />
'''Patrick:'''I am? }}
* I don't understand a lot about the Black Jack episode. For those who don't know, the big [[Twist Ending]] at the end of the episode is that SpongeBob's violent cousin Black Jack is really {{spoiler|about as tall as Plankton}}. Yet while SpongeBob was tiny (older episodes showed this), he got bigger, while Black Jack must have stayed the same... the EXACT same, personality, dress, voice, etc. And why is it none of SpongeBob's relatives tell him how small Black Jack is? Are they really THAT afraid of a guy who [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|littered]] to not see him for as long as SpongeBob had?
** I think they assumed he knew he was that small. Plus none of them had seen him (his grandma gets a call, and his uncle just calls him a dangerous criminal, the grandma doesn't sound afraid of him though) in a long time because he was in jail. I don't think Black Jack being small made much sense overall, though.
** He probably got smaller during the time he spent in prison. It might not make much sense for him to shrink THAT much, but remember that SpongeBob was just a kid when he had the flashback about him, and he's over twenty, twenty-three IIRC, so Black Jack probably spent more than 15 years in prison, 19 at most.
Line 428:
* Can someone please explain to me WHY people come back to the Krusty Krab? They have been poisoned at least once, the place doesn't seem that clean, and the prices are a rip-off. Why would you come back?
** The same reason people still watch the show despite its decline in quality...
** With [[
* Why hasn't Squidward learned by now that Spongebob and Patrick don't understand the concept of sarcasm? Every moment he's sarcastic about Spongebob's offers or ideas, it only encourages him which in turn makes things worse for himself [Squidward].
** [[Rule of Funny]]. Well, what's classed as funny in later episodes, at least...
