Line 175:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: In "Opposite Day", Squidward doesn't get to sell his house, but he DOES get to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|chase SpongeBob and Patrick into the distance with a bulldozer]]. In "Enchanted Tiki Dreams" the Tiki Land burns but Squidward gets to knock SpongeBob and Patrick over with a boat swing at the end.
** "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful". Squidward manages to one-up Squilliam, but get a littering ticket for the umpteenth time.
* [[BizarchitectureBizarrchitecture]]: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" {{spoiler|1=Answer: SpongeBob SquarePants}}
** The other giant objects that the characters live in. Although they're only giant in comparison with the characters, [[Doing in the Wizard|according to]] the movie.
** Well, most of the important buildings follow a sort of a theme, in that they're the sort of things that might appear as decor in fishtanks. Moai, rocks, treasure chests, etc.
Line 268:
* [[Cowboy Episode]]: "Pest of the West"
* [[Crack Defeat]]: In the episode 'The Great Snail Race' had SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick's pet snails ([[The Unintelligible|Gary]], Snellie, and [[Companion Cube|Rocky]] respectively)pitting against each other. Snellie, who is a pure-breed snail, would've won, but she forfeited and comforted an overworked Gary. So the winner? Rocky! It needs to be said that Rocky was an [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|actual rock]]. How it legitimately got to the finish line was [[Offscreen Teleportation|never explained.]]
* [[Crane Game Gag]]: In the episode "Skill Crane", Squidward becomes addicted to a crane game that his boss Mr. Krabs installs. Mr. Krabs further enables the addiction so he can get more quarters from his employee. Ironically, Spongebob keeps winning toys without even trying. In the climax, Squidward gets so addicted that he hijacks a ''real'' crane that rapidly goes out of control.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: [[Depending on the Writer]], but Bikini Bottom definitely fits the bill in certain episodes.
* [[Crazy Consumption]]: Squidward eats Krabby Patties until he blows up.
Line 361 ⟶ 362:
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Krabs versus Plankton (in newer episodes).
* [[Expanded Universe]]
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: SpongeBob in some episodes, most notably "Walking Small". As Plankton puts it, "he's like stairs", and the ending (in which he literally becomes [[Be The Ball|a volleyball]] for the whole beach to use) proves how much he really does care about others. Unless the episode calls for otherwise, anyway.
* [[Extra! Extra! Read All About It!]]: "Maniac strikes Bikini Bottom! City paralyzed with fear!"
* [[Eye Scream]]: Crops up a number of times.
Line 789 ⟶ 791:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Patrick had to go undercover (because he thinks someone is going to kick him out of town), so he dressed up as "Patricia". SpongeBob had to tell a few folks "she" wasn't his GF.
* [[Ship Tease]]: SpongeBob and Sandy (occasionally).
** If ''The Chaperone'' and ''Bossy Boots'' are anything, SpongeBob has some chemistry with Pearl too. In the former she tries to kiss SpongeBob on the lips (and SpongeBob actually reaches out to kiss back) and in the latter she outright pecks him on the forehead.
** That being said, it's advisable not to read too much into either of these pairings. Stephen Hillenburg has stated outright that SpongeBob is asexual (in the sponge sense of "not reproducing sexually", not the human sense of "not having any sexual attraction") just to ward off the shippers, and SpongeBob, being a cartoon that's meant to run on [[Rule of Funny]] is probably not the show to watch if you're into fictional relationships.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy reference both the [[Batman (TV series)|Batman TV series]] and [[Aquaman|Aquaman and Aqualad and Manta Ray is based off of Black Manta]].
