1* [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie The first movie]] ending with [=SpongeBob=] defeating Plankton with ThePowerOfRock. The song? A parody of Music/TwistedSister's "I Wanna Rock".
2** The sequence includes a closeup of shapely legs in fishnets[[spoiler:--Patrick's.]]
3* "Do you think this is funny?" "In a cosmic sort of way, yes."
4* The surprise appearance of Film/{{Nosferatu}}, "[[Literature/{{Dune}} wormsign]]", the titular character's trousers discarding akin to an o-ring separation before his legs erupt into rocket exhaust plumes, etc.
5* Watch "Karate Island" and just try and find more than three jokes that ''[[PeripheryDemographic aren't]]'' Parental Bonus.
6* "Sailor Mouth" referenced Creator/GeorgeCarlin's "[[SevenDirtyWords Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television]]" routine.
7---> '''Mr. Krabs:''' In fact, there are thirteen bad words you should never use.
8---> '''Squidward:''' Don't you mean there are only seven?
9---> '''Mr. Krabs:''' Not if you're a sailor.
10* From the episode "The Secret Box", where the secret that turned out to be in the box was a string. Come on, a string in a box in a Bikini Bottom?
11** Of course, though, the string [[spoiler:opens a secret compartment in the secret box that contains an EmbarrassingOldPhoto of [=SpongeBob=] at a Christmas Party.]]
12* And then there's Plankton and his reviewing of "[[PoorMansPorn foreign exercise videos]]" that his cousin sent him.
13* When Squidward has [[ItMakesSenseInContext convinced SpongeBob and Patrick to wait on his every whim,]] they move around his sun chair to various locations-- one is Too Hot, one is Too Wet, and the one with a background of cancan dancers is "Toulouse-Lautrec"
14* The episode that begins with [=SpongeBob=] watching a dancing live-action sea anemone on his TV, with a goofy entranced look on his face, leaning toward the screen. When Gary comes in and meows at him, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything he panics and immediately changes the channel]] and comes up with a hasty excuse for what he was ''really'' watching.
15* The episode with the squeaky boots is a parody of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's short story ''The Telltale Heart''.
16* Let's see, there's Ned and the Needlefish, an obvious reference to Hootie and the Blowfish, an episode titled "Krabby Road", like Music/TheBeatles' album ''Abbey Road'', the episode "Lost Mattress", where, at the end of the mattress shopping montage, [=SpongeBob=] goes to reach for a switch in the dealer's hand, who closes it sharply and makes [=SpongeBob=] laugh, a reference to ''Film/PrettyWoman'', and some episodes which feature court cases use the theme from ''Series/ThePeoplesCourt''.
17* A musical bonus: In the episode where Patrick becomes smart when he switches his brain with brain coral, he mentions a clarinet piece by "Cornelius Bumpfish". Someone on the writing team must like Steely Dan, whose clarinetist was a man named Cornelius Bumpus.
18* In one episode, Patrick dressed in drag and Squidward called 'her' "[his] [[Creator/PeterPaulRubens Rubenesque]] beauty".
19* "You're a man, [=SpongeBob=], and it's about time you acted like one. First, puff up your chest. Then, say 'tax exemption'. Now, you must acquire a taste for free-form jazz."
20* This gem:
21--> '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Patrick, your genius is showing!
22--> '''Patrick:''' [covers crotch] Where?!
23* In "Squidward's School for Grown Ups," [=SpongeBob=], while preparing for an opera, pulls out a note with a familiar intro, which he proceeds to read to the audience:
24-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' There once was a man from Nantucket...\
25'''Crowd:''' ''[gasps]''
26** In "The Getaway", Mrs. Puff has a romantic fling with a getaway driver, by the name of Dorsal Dan ([[WebVideo/RebelTaxi voiced by]] Creator/SteveBuscemi). While they're in a car together, she tickles his foot, which greatly arouses him. It gets more inappropriate when you realize feet are among the most common sexual fetishes.
27* The beginning of "Grandmum's the Word" is very suggestive; lit candles, rose petals, bath, Plankton's romantic alter ego Ray-Ray... it's hard to look at this scene and not find it sexually loaded. The fact that Karen is a literal computer alleviates this a lot (and is probably why the writers got away with it).
28* Mr. Krabs makes Squidward [[MakesSenseInContext wear a bridle and pretend to be a horse]], leading to this suggestive exchange:
29-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Hey, get your mule away from my show pony! This here's a Thoroughbred.\
30'''Squidward:''' Huh? *''Mr. Krabs lifts him up''*\
31'''Mr. Krabs:''' Look at that flank. *''stretches Squidward forward''* Get a load of those locks. Not to mention that loin, eh?\
32'''Squidward:''' ''(smirking)'' Oh, yeah. I'm a ''real stud.''
