* NarmCharm: [=SpongeBob=]'s harangue about how he doesn't want to be an adult anymore, listing off all of the fun "baby" things he wished he could still do before collapsing on the floor, kicking and screaming as he bawls his eyes out. Silly, yes. But at the same time, the acting by Creator/TomKenny makes it sound so genuine and the simple desire of wanting to continue bonding with his Grandma can be very relatable that it's impossible not to feel the heartstrings tugged for the sponge.

* NeverLiveItDown: Squidward's relentless and cruel teasing of [=SpongeBob=]. Believe it or not, some have said that, after seeing the way he’s portrayed here, they completely understand why his treatment has become disproportionately unfair in later seasons.



** The guards get knocked out by Patrick’s bad breath and both him and [=SpongeBob=] are given access to the community. This is satisfying to watch as they [[FantasticRacism refused to allow SpongeBob and Patrick inside]] and intended to [[CrossesTheLineTwice chase them off with their nightsticks]].

** "Now, you must acquire a taste for free form jazz." [[labelnote:explanation]]One of Patrick's stated criteria for being an adult, followed by a moment of him and [=SpongeBob=] posing thoughtfully while free form jazz plays. There have been ''many'' edits of this scene with "free form jazz" changed to some other kind of music.[[/note]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was the police officer who confronted Squidward just being condescending when he told him there was nothing forcing him to stay there? Or was he subtly trying to convince Squidward to leave so he wouldn't cause any more trouble in Tentacle Acres?

** Online, Squidville itself is sometimes referred to as a "Squidward Ethnostate" due to the fact that the only kind allowed inside are squids and how the guards display FantasticRacism towards Spongebob and Patrick.

** Is Grandma respecting [=SpongeBob=]'s wishes to be treated more like an adult by giving him boring gifts and denying him cookies while treating Patrick like a baby, or is she humoring him until he realizes that there's nothing wrong with accepting her grandmotherly affection as an adult?

Cut as per this.


* ValuesDissonance: While the concept of Squidville was comedic during this episode’s time of release, it is blatantly disturbing to see institutional racism be used cause its a serious subject today.

** This was one of the first episodes to indulge in ComedicSociopathy, in this case Squidward and the miscellaneous citizens of Bikini Bottom teasing [=SpongeBob=] to his face, then [[TheFreelanceShameSquad following him to Grandma's house just to tease him some more]] for fun, all while receiving no karma for their actions. Here, it's clearly meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but later episodes overuse the joke of the nameless bit players all being sadistic jerks until it's too mean to be funny.
