* In the episode where Mr. Krabs "sheds" his shell and makes SpongeBob wear it to his army convention, are his army friends too ''[[Too Dumb to Live|dumb]]'' that they can't tell that there is a ''yellow sponge'' inside the red shell? Seriously, you would think that being in the navy/army would let you see obvious differences in your best friends, but yeah, maybe it's just me that's bugged.

** Last I checked, the only thing that was really noticeable was the eyes; They probably just thought he had changed over time.

*** About the eyes-- why was SpongeBob able to reshape his own eyes to resemble Mr. Krabs' eyes in ''Krusty Love'', but didn't bother in that episode (Shell of a Man)?

* In the episode where a dream version of SpongeBob invades the dreams of others, why, in response, do the people whose dreams were invaded break into the real SpongeBob's house, wake him up, then yell at him about it? It's like it's teaching kids to yell at someone for being in your dream.

** Larry is presented as vain in most episodes with him in it; he probably just forgot about SpongeBob because he doesn't give a rat's hat about him.

* The episode "A Day Without Tears"... was there any reason SpongeBob called Patrick, other than to ask if he thought he could make it [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a day without crying?]] They mentioned something about a package, but it didn't get anywhere. [[Orphaned Punchline]]?

* Spongehenge: those statues he carves merits discussion. First off, why on earth do they have that expression? It's the least SpongeBob could have done to carve them with a more jovial expression, but instead, he goes ahead and gives them this fearful expression that comes off as really, [[Wall Banger|really annoying]]. Second, if that stone is depicted to be heavy, how on earth would those spindly legs hold up the weight of the statues? Even assuming that the statues are somewhat hollow and that the fluid dynamics underwater prevents the statues from collapsing on their own weight immediately, wouldn't they still erode over 3000 years? And finally, why does SpongeBob need so many of them? We'd already seen that a single statue was enough to distract them; all he needed after was one good statue to solve the problem.

** The reason he needed more than one was because the jellyfish didn't like the tune the statue made. All of the statues together were able to fix the tune, for some reason.

* What I can't believe is how in "Squirrel Jokes," something that SpongeBob said in a ''comedy routine'' changed the way people treat Sandy so drastically?

** The Bikini Bottomites tend to "follow the herd"--they go along with anything announced publicly (apparently even in a comedy routine). They believed everything in the tabloid Krabby Kronicle; and then there's the mass histeria over "Mad Snail Disease" in "Once Bitten", as a few examples.

* Several episodes state (and one episode even emphasizes) that Mr. Krabs is old. If that's so, how is his grandfather still alive? It's enough of a stretch to believe that his mother is...
