* The last few minutes of the episode is one moment after another. When [=SpongeBob=] finally finds the motivation to complete the essay (which is literally just [[ExactWords a comprehensive list of things not to do at a stoplight, including the various procrastinations that [=SpongeBob=] committed throughout the episode]]) he runs to turn it in to Mrs. Puff, who tells [=SpongeBob=] that due to a teacher's convention, the essay is canceled, so the class is just going to take a ''field trip to a stoplight'' next week instead.

** Another thing about the ending, it was initially shown that the car horn was a sound effect added in editing to bleep out a swear word Mama Krabs said. But then it turned out it came from Old Man Jenkins' jalopy, meaning the car horn was actually heard in-universe. And the others still took offense to it like it was what the swear was supposed to be. This implies that the sound effects weren't what's been bleeping the swear words... but rather that the sound effects ARE the swear words!
