* CrossesTheLineTwice: As mentioned on the main page, the whole premise would be terrifying if given a second thought. However, it's played for such absurdity that it's hard not to find it funny, maybe even familiar.

Once Flats starts chasing Spongebob with a garbage truck, it becomes too absurd to find it funny, maybe even familiar.scary.

* FridgeBrilliance: Earlier episodes present Squidward as a LethalChef, who's cooking at the Krusty Krab is either disgusting or burnt to a crisp. That's because he's never tasted one, and doesn't know how a Krabby Patty is ''supposed'' to be good. Not only that, but since the Patties he was force-fed in "Just One Bite" were launched down his throat, he ate them, but didn't ''taste'' them!

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This was one of the earlier ''Spongebob'' episodes to derive humor entirely from [[KafkaComedy bad things happening to characters who don't deserve it]] [[KarmaHoudini and their abusers getting away with it]]. Post-SeasonalRot ''Spongebob'' would use this story so often that not only is it difficult to know exactly who we're rooting for any more, but one-off episodes like this seem even meaner than they were originally intended to be.
