5	When the circus comes to town and steals away all his customers, Mr. Krabs resorts to locking away the ringmaster and the circus crew so he can sabotage the show.
6
7	!!"Big Top Flop" contains examples of:
8	* AsYouKnow: Mudkrab reveals to Krabs (and the audience) that his cousin is the mayor, something Krabs would presumably have known due to his years-long rivalry against him.
9	-->'''Mr. Krabs''': Ringmaster Mudkrab? This is outrageous! You can't park your flea circus on my property!\
10	'''Mudkrab''': Since my cousin is the mayor, this city permit says I can.
11	* BodyHorror: The episode ends with Mr. Krabs and Ringmaster Mudkrab getting ''grotesquely fused together''.
12	* CircusEpisode: The episode centers on Mr. Krabs attempting to sabotage the circus by having [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and Squidward put on terrible acts to ruin its reputation.
13	* InsultBackfire: When Mr. Krabs calls the audience dummies, rather than be offended, the audience assumes Mr. Krabs is an insult ringmaster.
14	* LameRhymeDodge: Mr. Krabs wants to get rid of the new circus in town that's stealing his business away. He tells [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward that they're going to the circus to destroy it. [=SpongeBob=] [[DelayedReaction cheers, then momentarily pauses and questions it]]. Krabs covers it up by saying that they're going to ''enjoy'' the circus.
15	* PaperThinDisguise: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's disguises as circus folk are recognized too quickly by the audience.
16	* PieInTheFace: Part of Squidward's routine.
17	* RememberTheNewGuy: Krabs and Mudkrab have a longstanding rivalry, but we've never heard of Mudkrab before this episode.
18	* SadClown: Squidward's performs as this in the circus.
19	* SlasherSmile: Mr. Krabs sports one when he plans to tarnish the circus's reputation.
20	* SpringtimeForHitler: All the acts that Mr. Krabs has the Krusty Krew perform in the circus to tarnish its reputation only make the show more popular.
21	* SuddenAnatomy: When looking at his calendar, Mr. Krabs has a finger instead of a claw.
22	* ThrowTheDogABone: It isn't surprising that [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick got genuine applause for their acts, but ''Squidward'' actually getting praise is a wholesome end to his sad clown act.

26	'''Sandy, Help Us!'''
27
28	'''Original air date:''' 11/1/2023 ''(produced in 2022)''
29
30	When Sandy spends the whole day solving everyone's problems, she returns home to find that one of her experiments has gone wrong in her absence.
31
32	!!"Sandy, Help Us!" contains examples of:
33
34	* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode focuses entirely on Sandy while [=SpongeBob=] only appears for a couple of scenes.
35	* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Sandy and Narlene both relax while wearing the same headphones which block out the cries for help of the townsfolk.
36	* PunnyName: Pecan Sandy, a clone of Sandy made from pecans, is also named after a candy.
37	* ShownTheirWork: Narlene doesn't wear a water helmet in Sandy's treedome since narwhals and whales are able to breathe oxygen.
38	* TitleDrop: The last line of the episode is also the episode's title, which is spoken by the townsfolk while Pecan Sandy goes on a rampage.
39	* VoodooShark: Sandy finds the Flying Dutchman shrunken and trapped in a crystal ball and asks what happened. He explains, "A witch trapped me in here!" This raises even more questions, such as why exactly ''why'' the witch did it, or why the Dutchman was interacting with any witches in the first place.
40	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never figure out if the Flying Dutchman got back to normal size, since he's still tiny when Sandy leaves him and he doesn't appear afterwards.
41	* WhatTheHellHero: Narlene calls out Sandy for making a clone for the sole purpose of doing her chores. Sandy even admits it was a pretty bad idea.
42	-->'''Pecan Sandy''': Pecan Sandy angry because she created me to take out her garbage!\
43	'''Narlene''': ''(to Sandy)'' You did ''what'', now? Heck, I'd go on a rampage, too. What possessed you?
