History WMG / SpongeBobSquarepants

* [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda "The secret ingredient is...nothing!"]]

If you count the plagues on the wall, there are 26. Season 1 is set in SpongeBobs first year at the Krusty Krab, so accounting the time, this would be at least two years after "Help Wanted".

[[folder:Episodes and Continuity]]

Most of the time it's just normal, mundane days. The only time something considered special happens are the actual episodes themselves.

* [[EvilIsSexy Aizen]], [[MrFanservice ugly]]?

4. Not to mention he missed various parts of the '''Big Day'''. Namely the finale, Squidwards show.

Here we have [[DesignatedHero Mr. Krabs]] torturing [[VillainProtagonist Plankton]] for seventeen days by stalking him in a whale costume. Plankton is driven to the point where he refuses to leave his post and even when he attempts to get himself [[DrivenToSuicide ran over on the road]]. Complete with a nightmare about being chased, swallowed, and even digested by Pearl prior to this.

* Almost like some fear of clouds was ''clouding'' his veiw of the day.

*** Ain't that a ShoutOut to Franchise/FantasticFour?
*** Yes. Or the Franchise/XMen. Or anything else involving mutants. Either way it's a great theory.

** [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Yes, ordinary]] [[WaterIsAir nothing]] [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} laced with nothing more than]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs a few spoonfuls of LSD]]. And [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin heroin]]. Squidward's just [[LethalChef that bad a fry cook]] (he's better at cooking things like souffles).

[[WMG:The show never had any sort of continuity and never will have.]]
Seriously, stop obsessing over Kamp Koral "breaking for timeline", where WAS NO TIMELINE in the first place. It's not a serialized show like Gravity Falls, it's an episodic cartoon where character development is discarded and characters never age.

Squidward moved to Tentacle Acres not just to get away from his neighbors but also as a temporary home. During this time he became depressed because he missed [=Spongebob=] and Patrick, and eventually took some underwater "drug" to cure it that made him do irrational things with the reef blower (although we never see him take such a drug because of the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids intended audience for the show]]). He leaves the place not due to a "menace to society" motif but because he learned that his house had just finished its reconstruction. Upon his return home the two became annoying once again, and Squidward used "Opposite Day" as a RevengePlot against them.

'''Mother fish:''' Oh well no wonder. It's all old and dried out, like that man over there. ''[points to Mr Krabs]''\\

When Spongebob made Pretty Patties in "Patty Hype", they were legitimately quite good and high quality which is why they became popular. But as soon as it got new management (i.e. Mr. Krabs took over his business), the customers show up the next day demanding refunds because the patties did stuff to them. How did this happen? One thing to consider is that the patties have to have come from somewhere, in this case the person running the stand. It's been shown that Spongebob knows his way around making patties, therefore he most likely would've known what he was doing with the Pretty Patties. Meanwhile when Mr. Krabs started managing the business, he had to make new Pretty Patties and serve more of the customers instead; given he's a cheapskate who doesn't actually know how to make regular Krabby Patties (that's what he has Spongebob for), he most likely underestimated the effort and quality control that went into Pretty Patties and cut corners wherever he thought he could, resulting in the new patties giving the customers a variety of cosmetic changes. Because of this, he irrevocably ruined the business overnight and the Pretty Patties became despised thanks to his greed.

* A GameShow-styled spinoff where "contestants" try to beat Mr. Krabs in increasingly inane trivia contests.

* A spin-off parodying mid-to-late-2000s/early-2010s "snarky CausticCritic" web shows wherein Squidward "reviews" in-universe media.

Squidward ends up having to dance in Squilliam's musical, doing the same dance [=SpongeBob=] does; [=SpongeBob=] probably found out Squidward ruined his audition upon recovering, and hired Squilliam to teach him a lesson. He even slyly says to Patrick, "I was up for that part."
