Pearl tries to sneak out to a cool teen party while Mr. Krabs is away.
"Whale Watching" contains examples of:
- Annoying Laugh: SpongeBob's trademark annoying laugh is exploited in this episode, as Mr. Krabs uses him to threaten Squidward should he fail in babysitting Pearl, and Pearl and Squidward later use him to torment Dylan.
- Art Shift: When Pearl goes out of sea to breach on land, the animation changes to claymation.
- Badly Battered Babysitter: Squidward when Pearl was a baby. Not so much when she's a teenager, but she still proves to be very difficult.
- Continuity Nod: Pearl's three friends - Nixie, Marina, and Nocturna - from "Mall Girl Pearl" are shown at the party.
- A Day in the Limelight: This episode focuses exclusively on Squidward and Pearl. SpongeBob doesn't even speak during his brief appearances aside from his Signature Laugh.
- Determinator: When climbing that steep cliff, Squidward refuses to quit and even manages to make it all the way up.
- Jerkass: Dylan, who abandons Pearl after she is beached. Thankfully, Pearl along with Squidward get back at him.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Squidward, as he expresses great concern for Pearl's well-being and tries his best to enforce her safety. Although, one could argue that there was a selfish motive behind this, as Squidward only seemed to do this so he can avoid Mr. Krabs tormenting him with SpongeBob's Annoying Laugh as punishment.
- Laser-Guided Karma: When Pearl ends up beached in the island after she breached the surface, the other kids, including Dylan, whom Pearl had a crush on and convinced her to breach the surface, made a run for it when they saw she was in trouble. After Squidward rescues her, they decide to get even with Dylan by siccing Spongebob on him.
- Misplaced Wildlife: Dylan, a narwhal in tropical waters.
- Noodle Incident: This wasn't the first time Pearl accidentally broke through the front door of Mr. Krabs' anchor house whilst daydreaming. According to Mr. Krabs, they are running low on doors given on the number of spare doors he keeps in the closet.
- Ocular Gushers: Exploited. Pearl's are so strong they're able to cut through solid objects in their path like a waterjet cutter. Pearl uses it to cut a hole in the wall to escape her room.
- Oh, Crap!: When Mr. Krabs refuses to let Pearl go out to the party, her eyes begin to water, causing Mr. Krabs to have this reaction with his eyes widened where he utters "Oh, shrimp." as he knows what's going to happen.
- Out of Focus: SpongeBob only appears in two scenes and has zero affect on the story. He doesn't even have any lines either, aside from his trademark laugh.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: While Pearl's night was admittedly ruined, the ending culminates in Squidward and her still managing to make the best of the night by tormenting the boy that ditched her with SpongeBob's annoying laugh, plus it's implied he DID earn his one-day-a-week SpongeBobless Shift.
- Wheel o' Feet: Squidward does this when he says "Okay, okay, just hold on a second!"
- Wild Teen Party: One is thrown in this episode that has great affect on the plot, as Pearl wants to attend the party so as not to be an outcast by her friends.

- Impact Silhouette: SpongeBob leaves a himself-shaped imprint on the lady's office wall when he slams against it outside.
- Jerkass Ball: Despite being told not to clean the lady's office, SpongeBob and Patrick do it anyway. While they admittedly wanted to be helpful, when taking their naivety into accounts, they would've been better off not helping at all.
- Lost Food Grievance: SpongeBob becomes distressed when he drops the customer's food. The customer, however, doesn't seem to care.

- Shout-Out: SpongeBob and Patrick are briefly shown in a Pacman-like video game while engaging in a maze around the office.
