Line 45:
*** It kind of gets worse when you realize that in another episode SpongeBob says he checked every freezer in the Krusty Krab. Considering how stupid SpongeBob has been lately, it wouldn't be a shock if he saw the frozen Squidward and did nothing about it.
*** There is at least one other episode, "Nasty Patty," where the Krusty Krab freezer is seen again, completely empty. But it's funny, in that episode, they were trying to hide a body in there from the police [[It Makes Sense in Context|(yeah...)]]; but supposedly at least one body was already inside...
* The episode where SpongeBob is trapped overnight in Rock Bottom definitely plays to childhoodchildhood—and -- and adult -- fearsadult—fears.
** The [[Body Horror|things]] that come out of the bathroom. What makes it scarier is that all of those beings are based on real animals.
* The April Fools episode. After one too many a prank by SpongeBob, Squidward sets him up a prank that [[Dude, Not Funny|crosses the line]], sending SpongeBob home crying. But that wasn't it. Earlier in the episode, SpongeBob, as part of one of his pranks, pretends to lose his tongue, which turns out to be a fake. But the part that gets scary is that the tongue is ''alive'', laughing cheerfully and innocently with SpongeBob. It's [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|never explained]] ''what'' it/he/whatever is exactly, which makes me it a bit creepy.
Line 73:
** It actually does have an end, actually. Marked by spaghetti and meatballs within the rift.
** According to the [[Other Wiki]], [[wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants (season 2)#Shanghaied .2F Gary Takes a Bath|the episode]] was banned in Australia and Britain for its dark tone and disturbing scenes. The episode it was paired with ("Gary Takes A Bath") was also banned for the popular "subliminal messages" part (its punchline being a picture of a [[Creepy Child]]).
* The episode where Plankton has SpongeBob working for him, and SpongeBob says he'll cook Krabby Patties -- orPatties—or whatever it was -- laterwas—later. That's not the scary part. The scene that's scary is when Plankton took SpongeBob's brain and made a robot version of SpongeBob.
** In that same episode SpongeBob was trying to cook in the Chum Bucket kitchen and opened the oven (or whatever it was) to reveal a mutated burger. The meat part of it actually formed into a hand which it used to pull itself forward in an attempt to get at SpongeBob all the while muttering something incoherently (and creepily).
* ''Frankendoodle''. For some, it's not scary at all, but for others, that babbling, raving voice, its violent intentions, and the way it's drawn are deeply disturbing.
Line 100:
** The deleted scene is also frankly disturbing. See, Squidward first checks if the Krusty Krab has security measures for the Patty Vault. He realizes that it's just a bucket of water placed on top of the door. He laughs about it, opens the door, and the bucket spills over the floor. He steps on the puddle and comments that it's too easy. He then sniffs the liquid and realizes that the 'water' is really ''gas''. A robotic arm then appears and drops a lit match into the gas, resulting in a huge explosion. Squidward then opens the kitchen door, setting off another burglar alarm. The kitchen bursts into flames for a few seconds.
* The health inspector episode. SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs believe the health inspector at the Krusty Krab to be a phony who's faking it for free food, so they serve him the a disgusting, moldy Krabby Patty which apparently kills him. The rest of the episode is creepily monochromatic, and about them hiding the battered body from the police.
* The episode with the "small ray" takes [[Body Horror]] to a new level; when trying to reverse the ray, SpongeBob puts Squidward through an increasingly painful series of agonizing morphs -- catchingmorphs—catching fire, being cut in half by scissors, having no skin... the worst transformations happened offscreen, with hideous gurgling sound effects that left the true horror to the viewer's imagination, which only made it ''worse''.
* The episode in which Ms. Puff is blamed for =[[SpongeBob]]=]'s inept driving and winds up in jail, which to her is a respite from the hell of her normal life. SpongeBob and Patrick, failing to understand, repeatedly try to rescue her, but instead make the guards think she's insane and throw her in an isolation cell. In the cell, she goes insane for real and starts hallucinating that the padded walls are made of sponge, and that each has SpongeBob's laughing face on it. Then she starts hallucinating the beginning of the episode over and over, each time a little different and a little weirder. The episode ends with her giving up on deciding what's real and what's not and resigning herself to insanity. Good thing for [[Negative Continuity]].
** It is actually implied that the entire jail episode was just a hallucination Mrs. Puff had ''while still falling off the cliff,'' which makes it all the more disturbing. After the solitary confinement scene and Mrs. Puff is shown falling off the cliff again, she has two more hallucinations, and the episode ends with her still falling off the cliff, her fate left ambiguous. Ten times more disturbing in that context. Good thing for [[Negative Continuity]] indeed.
Line 163:
* In one episode, SpongeBob and Patrick unearth a submarine apparently buried in SpongeBob's yard. Upon entering, SpongeBob shoves aside a ''human skeleton'' to flip the engine switch.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch v=M1geOa269q8&feature=related This] from WhoBobWhatPants.
* Spongehenge. Most of that episode is pretty funny, but the ending -- whereending—where a bearded, crazed SpongeBob heads back to the Krusty Krab only to find it a derelict ruin, evoking the finales of both [[Planet of the Apes]] and the original ending of [[Army of Darkness]] -- is—is unsettling: and the final shot of the far-future aliens examining the now-abandoned, eerily-piping huge stone SpongeBobs even more so. It was all somehow reminiscent of the ending of the original [[The Wicker Man]]...
* In the Two Faces of Squidward, an incident causes Squidward to become handsome, however, when Spongebob tries making him look back to normal in the end, but it makes him more handsome, [[Uncanny Valley|OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT THING!?]]
