* Retcon: The Flying Dutchman still has the shirt he was buried in, while in the season one episode Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, it was stated that the Flying Dutchman had his body used as a window display after he died so he haunted the seven seas because he was never put to rest. He also claims to not be the marrying kind, but an earlier episode showed him with a wedding ring (albeit one he quickly removed whilst flirting with a female fish).

* EyeScream: Poor Patrick's eyes become transparent when he's ghostified, making him unable to sleep.
-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Oh, hey, Patrick. I didn't sleep well last night.
-->'''Patrick:''' I didn't sleep at all. I could see through my eyelids. MY EYELIDS! ''My eyelids...''
* HalloweenEpisode: The episode is promoted as one, despite not actually happening on Halloween.

Squidward stores his clarinet in a locker shared between him and [=SpongeBob=], then grows worried about it and enters the locker, discovering a world where clarinets are sacred.

!!"Squidward in Clarinetland" contains examples of:
* AcidTripDimension: Clarinetland gets pretty trippy.
* AllJustADream: Implied. When Squidward exits Clarinetland the locker seems mundane, which likely means it was all just a byproduct of his paranoia.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The locker becomes the portal to a pocket dimension once Squidward enters it.
* EldritchLocation: Clarinetland is strange and unnatural.
* NailsOnAChalkboard: Mr. Krabs repeatedly runs his claws across a chalkboard to erase the list of specials, creating a horrible screeching sound for everyone in the Krusty Krab.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The Keeper of the Horned Forest, a giant bald eagle head, is more realistically drawn compared to the other characters.
* ShoutOut: The episode is a surreal take on the already surreal ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
** Squidward and [=SpongeBob=] tumbling through space to classical music is a reference to ''Film/ASpaceOdyssey''.
* SwallowedWhole: Squidward gets swallowed by the large eagle.
* YouNeedABreathMint: A customer at the Krusty Krab. Despite his bad breath literally hitting Squidward in the face, Squidward isn't bothered by it due to his good mood.
