* RecycledScript: A few old episodes of the show seem to have recycled plots from other Nicktoons. "Toy Store of Doom", for example, has essentially the same plot as the {{Rugrats}} episode "Toy Palace" (they get locked in a closed toy store and are afraid the toys will attack them), while "Banned in Bikini Bottom" (Krabby Patties are outlawed and Mr. Krabs starts selling them at [=SpongeBob=]'s house secretly) is similar to the CatDog episode "Just Say [=CatDog=] Sent You".
** "Picture Day" has a recycled script from an episode of a Disney show: the ''{{Recess}}'' episode "One Stayed Clean".
** "Sailor Mouth" is very similar to [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} "Bleeped"]], but airs ''much'' more frequently.
