* TourGuideGag:
** In "Pranks a Lot", while [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are naked, a tour bus passes them with the guide saying "And on your right if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint!" This prompts a PassingJudgment reaction from the passengers.
** In "No Pictures Please", Patrick takes a tour guide's hat. He is then mistaken for being an ''actual'' tour guide by a new visitor to Bikini Bottom. Patrick shows him various ridiculous sights, such as a hole he dug yesterday and a guy who once called him a bad word. At one point, Patrick says "And if you look to your left... you'll miss everything on your right." And later, when the original tour guide sees Patrick and the tourist again:
--->'''Tour guide''': And on your left, the Bikini Bottom post office. On your right is a zombie chasing ''the guys who stole my hat''!
