* ContinuityNod: This isn't the first time Squidward made [=SpongeBob=] cry and getting scolded by the townspeople for it much like in [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E19FoolsInAprilNeptunesSpatula "Fools in April"]]. Only this time, Squidward lacks remorse for his actions and the townspeople are complete hypocrites.

* AssholeVictim: While the residents came off as no better by punishing Squidward that ''they themselves'' did too, Squidward technically deserved everything that happened to him. Although, as seen in the picture, Squidward does not care about his punishments in the slightest.

* HereWeGoAgain: In the end, Squidward reads [=SpongeBob=]'s actual diary, causing him to run away embarrassed and to be ridiculed again.



* OrderedApology: Mr. Krabs insists that Squidward apologizes to [=Spongebob=], only for [[TheUnapologetic Squidward to tell him that he'll get over it.]]
* {{Revenge}}: The reason behind the whole diary plot was for Squidward to get back at Spongebob for all the bad things he did to him over the past nine seasons. However, Spongebob did nothing to hurt him in this episode, which only ends up making ''him'' look bad.

* SelectiveObliviousness: [=SpongeBob=].

* NiceGuy: [=SpongeBob=] is as nice as ever in this episode, forgiving Squidward even after reading his diary full of embarrassing secrets to the people of the Krusty Krab.
