** In some performances, when the town chooses the Electric Skates to perform over Squidward, you can see Squidward mouthing some inaudible expletive along the lines of "Son of a bitch..."
** It's PlayedForLaughs, but Plankton does some rather... ''interesting'' moves during “When the Going Gets Tough”, like ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything grinding on Pearl]]'' and doing a ''spanking'' gesture to Mrs. Puff. There's also this line:
--->'''Plankton:''' Before that sucker blows, we gotta get the ''fish'' out!
** It's also implied that the reason Karen's more enthusiastic about assisting her husband in his evil plan is because it's putting the spark back into their marriage.
** Of particular note is Plankton asking Karen to call him "big guy" instead of "[[EmbarrassingFirstName Sheldon]]", then ''moaning'' every time she says it until they start passionately making out.
** The "Bikini Bottom Boogie" song contains the line "Kiss my jellyfish!"
** Mrs. Puff's drinking problem.
** At the top of act two, Patchy refers to Hell's Kitchen, a real district of New York City, by name.
** [[spoiler:When [=SpongeBob=], Sandy, and Patrick return from Mount Humongous to see Bikini Bottom in chaos,]] Perch Perkins can be seen bound and gagged.
** After Plankton's [[spoiler:evil scheme is revealed]], Mr. Krabs calls Plankton "Bad Word Number Eleven", and Plankton replies with "How dare you call me a (dolphin noise)!", a MythologyGag to "Sailor Mouth".
** Unfortunately, some of these things were a little ''too'' taboo for Nickelodeon, and ended up getting cut for the TV version.

* TakeThat: The show does a big "Take that!" to climate change deniers (and by extension, the Trump administration). The townspeople don't listen to Sandy, who's a scientist, and make a crack about 'tidal warming' also being fake. Her role as a scientist adds to the FantasticRacism that makes them to scapegoat her because they need someone to blame. The sardines, like some religious fanatics, follow Patrick's suggestion to close their eyes and deny that a volcano is actually going to destroy them.

* MythologyGag: ''All over the place.''
** The show opens with [=SpongeBob=] getting out of bed and saying, "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E18MissingIdentityPlanktonsArmy Good morning world, and all who inhabit it]]!"
** Mermaid Man is mentioned.
** [=SpongeBob=] reminds everyone that he can play his nose like a flute and eat lots of ice cream. He also plays the ukulele at some points.
** The iconic "MY LEG!" [[StockScream sound clip]] is used at one point, sampled directly from "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E17ArrghRockBottom Arrgh!]]"
** The song [[spoiler: ''Best Day Ever'']] is straight from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie''.
** [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E18SailorMouthArtistUnknown Dolphin swears]] make an appearance.
** One of Squidward's first lines is "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E20SpongebobMeetstheStrangerPranksALot Another day, another migraine]]".
** Plankton mentions that he [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E3JellyfishingPlankton went to college]].
** [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy's [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E14SB129KarateChoppers love for karate]] is taken into account.
** One of the demands of the ''Electric Skates'' is [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie Goofy Goober Ice Cream]].
** The iconic Time Card gag is used when [=SpongeBob=] lets out a BigNo (read the aformementioned trope above).
** It's an easy-to-miss detail, but during ''Bikini Bottom Day'', Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff can briefly be seen dancing together, a small nod to [[UnresolvedSexualTension their]] [[MaybeEverAfter relationship]].
** Squidward's name [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS3E14TheGreatSnailRaceMidLifeCrustacean is mispronounced several times]].
** [[MenAreUncultured Old Man Jenkins]] suggests [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS7E16TrenchbilliesSpongeCano sacrificing someone to the volcano]].
** Mr. Krabs' refusal to allow [=SpongeBob=] to manage the Krusty Krab because he's "just a simple sponge" mirrors ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' where he wouldn't give [=SpongeBob=] the management position because he's "just a kid." Likewise, Plankton's plan to hypnotize the people of Bikini Bottom into liking chum is similar to his plan of using mind control to take over Bikini Bottom.
** The final reprise of "Bikini Bottom Day" ends with the cast [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks playing their band instruments terribly]].
** When the volcano cuts off all cable access in Bikini Bottom, [=SpongeBob=] tells a worried Patrick that they can just pass the time with "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS3E4NastyPattyIdiotBox Imaginaaation!]]", complete with the hand gesture.
** When Patrick realizes that the sardines are starting to praise him for his "words of wisdom", he remarks, "Finally someone understands, [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma]]".
** Pearl's reluctance to run the Krusty Krab reflects the "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E2SomethingSmellsBossyBoots Bossy Boots]]" episode where Pearl tried to sabotage her career as manager of the Krusty Krab because she would rather hang out with her friends.
** During "Best Day Ever", [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E17 SpongeBob points at Squidward to cue him into the song]]. This time, though, Squidward happily joins in.
** When Plankton and Karen hatch a plan to use the Avalanche Maker 3000 to stop [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy, Plankton exclaims, [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie "It's evil, it's diabolical, it's LEMON-SCENTED!"]]
** At the end, when Patrick volunteers to be a part of the final performance, he asks, "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks Is mayonnaise an instrument]]?"
** During "(Not a) Simple Sponge", [=SpongeBob=] says that he's the "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E14SB129KarateChoppers undisputed master of my own dojo]]!".
** [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's big argument after "Super Sea Star Savior" is reminiscent of their scuffle from "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E19JellyfishHunterTheFryCookGames The Fry Cook Games]]".

* GainingConfidenceSong: "I'm Not a Loser", sung by Squidward. It starts out as a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial, in which Squidward says he isn't a loser and when people look at him, they "don't see the nobody which isn't there", but he secretly believes he ''is'' a loser. As the song goes on though, he starts to genuinely believe he isn't a loser and confidently sings that he isn't one.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the cartoon, Karen is something of a neutral AntiVillain who unenthusiastically aids Plankton in his schemes. Here, she's just [[LoveMakesYouEvil as maniacal as her husband]], and is much more willing to help him take over the town. She even joins him in an EvilLaugh at one point. It's implied in the opening number (wherein Karen acts more like her cartoon self) that this is due to his evil plan actually succeeding this time, which apparently makes her more interested--Plankton mentions to her that she "used to love his evil schemes", to which she responds "Well what can I say? The magic's gone."
