1!!The Splinter:
2* CatharsisFactor: Squidward getting brutally injured by the cash register and missing out on his worker's comp is quite satisfying given what a massive jerk he was to [=SpongeBob=] throughout the episode.
3* CriticalBacklash: While still remaining one of the most infamous episodes in the show's history, there exists a rather vocal subset of fans who argue that it's not ''as'' horrid as most make it out to be, saying that there are a large amount of genuinely good jokes that are masqueraded by the [[NauseaFuel disgusting imagery]], especially during the first half.
4* FanonDiscontinuity: Due to being eleven minutes of [=SpongeBob=]'s splinter swelling up to [[NauseaFuel/SpongeBobSquarePants disgusting levels]].
5* FridgeBrilliance: Of course Mr. Krabs could get the splinter out with complete ease; a pair of tweezers are the best means to grab a tiny bit of wood. And Krabs' claws are natural tweezers.
6* NauseaFuel: This episode is certainly one that should not be watched by people with weak stomachs or are planning to eat. The icing on the cake is when Mr. Krabs pulls out the splinter, and is greeted by a stream of [[SubvertedTrope confetti]]... [[DoubleSubversion and then]] a ''long'' stream of pus.
7* TheWoobie: It's really hard not to feel bad for [=SpongeBob=] in his situation. [[{{Fingore}} That splinter looks like it absolutely hurts]], and it's very clear this [[TraumaCongaLine his pain is only getting sickeningly worse until the end of the episode]].
