Added DiffLines:

* Whenever there's a panicking crowd, a guy can often be heard shouting "My leg!"
** Parodied in the episode "Squid Baby", with "My face, my face!... Also my leg, but mostly my face!"
** An entire episode, simply titled "My Leg!" was made around this gag. It explains how Fred, a background fish, was the one who always said it, and how he always did it in an attempt to be with a Nurse he's in love with.
* How about Old Man Jenkins as a running gag character? Or his name, rather, considering that it's apparently the name of several different elderly fish in Bikini Bottom.
** As of lately, there's been one consistent design for Old Man Jenkins, and another old fish who originally went by that alias was renamed "Old Man Walker".
* "Chocolate? Did you say CHOCOLATE!?!"
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'', we have the reaction to King Neptune's baldness; "B-B-B-Bald! Bald! Bald!" "[[EyeScream My eyes]]!"
* Various things [[MadeOfExplodium randomly exploding in a mushroom cloud for little to no reason.]] [[MemeticMutation Naturally gets combined with the "WTF?! BOOM!!!" meme quite often.]]
* Mrs. Puff getting arrested, when it's usually [=SpongeBob's=] fault. She even spent one whole episode in prison.
* Patrick [[BigEater spending so much time at the Krusty Krab]] that Mr. Krabs sometimes forgets that he doesn't work there.
-->'''Patrick:''' ''(reading card)'' "One of your shipmates has been a bad pirate! Send him to the brig!" Hmmm. It's off to jail for you, Mr. Krabs!\\
'''Mr. Krabs:''' Patrick, you're fired!\\
'''Patrick:''' But I don't even work here!\\
'''Mr. Krabs:''' Would you like a job, starting now?\\
''(hands him a Krusty Krab hat)''\\
'''Patrick:''' Boy, would I!\\
''(snatches the hat back)''\\
'''Mr. Krabs:''' You're fired!
* Plankton getting crushed by a piano in "Fear of a Krabby Patty".
* "Rock Bottom" has a couple, such as [=SpongeBob=] missing the bus, which makes up a large part of the episode, and [=SpongeBob's=] balloon hitting the bus driver.
* One involving Plankton and Karen. She would suggest a way to steal the formula, but he dismisses her for being random or bothering him, [[GladIThoughtOfIt then he would say the exact same idea.]]
