Added DiffLines:

* Some of the lazier episodes use this trope excessively, often to the point that an episode will actually ''become'' this trope. Examples include: "Slide Whistle Stooges", "Blackjack", "Funny Pants", "A Day Without Tears", "Face Freeze!", and "Grandpappy the Pirate".
* In "Bubblestand" when Squidward requests peace and quiet during his clarinet practice while [=SpongeBob=] is building a bubblestand, this results in [=SpongeBob=] hammering rather slowly and looking right back to Squidward's house between beats.
* "I Was a Teenage Gary" has the squeamish [=SpongeBob=] repeatedly pull Gary away and shout "WAIT!" whenever Squidward tries to inject him with snail plasma.
* "Squid's Day Off" has scenes where [=SpongeBob=] repeats the line "Have you finished those errands?" in part or in whole over twenty times.
* In "Graveyard Shift", Squidward scares [=SpongeBob=], making him scream no less than 25 times in a row, while Squidward attempts to explain himself. He goes on to laugh repeatedly when Squidward says he was joking.
* From "The Algae's Always Greener":
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': "A customer ordered a medium soda, and I gave him a large! [[FelonyMisdemeanor I GAVE HIM A LARGE!]] I've soiled the good Krusty Krab name! [[BrokenRecord Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it...]]"\\
'''Plankton''': (poking [=SpongeBob=]) "[[LampshadeHanging Where's the off button on this thing?]]"
** "Someday the Krabby Patty formula will be mine! Even if I have to come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day...."
* "New Student Starfish" has three of them:
** [=SpongeBob=] screaming and crying as Mrs. Puff is removing one of his Good Noodle stars.
** [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick exchanging "I hate you" no less than about ten times during detention.
** [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's 30 second-long FreakOut when they see the lightbulb keeping the class pet Roger incubated go out, which culminates in them reconciling.
* "Ugh" is just full of these:
** Squog slipping on Gary's slime.
** [=SpongeGar=] taking a good 30-45 seconds realizing that he can use Squog's stick to get two marshmallow-like plants out of their fire, cutting between [=SpongeGar=]'s face, the stick and the fire ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext as well as a barbershop quartet]]) progressively faster until it near-reaches EpilepticFlashingLights territory.
** The sequence where [=SpongeGar=], Patar and Squog are roasting various plants (and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence kra]][[{{Pun}} bs]].)
** And this isn't even mentioning the second half of the [=SpongeBob=] part of the episode, the majority of it having them trying to steal the fire from each other in various ways.
* [=SpongeBob=] repeatedly interrupting the doctor trying to remove Squidward's bandages in "The Two Faces of Squidward."
* The episode "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful" has almost no gags- other than "Squidward ends up next to litter, and is sentenced to Community Service whether it's his or not." By the end, Squidward has gotten it ''8 times...'' (He almost got it 9, even!), and one was not even for littering, but for putting a trash-absorbed [=SpongeBob=] in a trash can that ''isn't his.'' At the end of the episode, Squilliam gets CS, and even ''[=SpongeBob=]'' gets CS too.
* "All That Glitters", where [=SpongeBob=] cries to...everything in Bikini Bottom about his broken spatula. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HHAUUUUUUUUUH!"
** From the same episode, [=SpongeBob=] smashing piggy banks one by one to appease the salesman.
* Similarly, "[=SpongeBob=] You're Fired" has [=SpongeBob=] crying for about a full minute after Mr. Krabs fires him. As this happens, the tears affect customers in the background.
** This episode also has the scene where [=SpongeBob=] continually attempts to cling to Patrick's rock, to no avail.
* In "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired", [=SpongeBob=] gets a pebble stuck in his hand while crawling, causing him to yell "OOOOW! WOOOOW!" nonstop.
* Zooming in on the patty in "Krusty Krab Training Video" The narrator imitates a fanfare throughout, stopping to catch his breath partway.
** And another lampshade on this: as the "How to make a Krabby Patty" part of the video it was intro-ing was about to begin it was cut off by the episode ending.
* [=SpongeBob=] going over the activities he and Patrick have planned for the rainy day in "Pineapple Fever". Mostly, he repeats activities he's already stated.
* [=SpongeBob=] ringing Mrs. Puff's doorbell for about 30 straight seconds in "Pet or Pests", without any dialogue. This continues ''even after Mrs. Puff opens it''.
* [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward clearing their throats in "Choir Boys", which happens ''multiple times''.
* "The Camping Episode" has this, and probably would have gone longer if Squidward hadn't stopped [=SpongeBob=]:
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Patrick's right Squidward, sea bears are no laughing matter. Why one time I met this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy's ''cousin''-\\
'''Squidward''': YOU'RE RIGHT!
** Also, the "Campfire Song" Song. Squidward doesn't bother to stop them, he just sits there with an annoyed look on his face.
** The sea bear attack also. "That was an oval! It has to be a circle!"
* Another example in "Dear Vikings".
---> '''Viking:''' This is Olaf. [[OneSteveLimit And this is Olaf.]] This is Olaf. Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, and um...\\
'''Other Viking:''' Olaf.\\
'''Squidward:''' So, lemme guess. Your name must be...\\
'''Viking:''' That's right, [[OddNameOut Gordon!]]
* Also happens in "SB-129" with Squidward opening the door revealing [=SpongeBob=] asking him if he's ready to go jellyfishing with him and Patrick.
* In "Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy", Plankton-as-Sandy keeps flubbing at putting the top bun on the patty by barely a few inches, prompting [=SpongeBob=] to say over and over, "Ohhhh, try again."
* From "Hide and Then What Happens?", when Mrs. Puff refuses to help [=SpongeBob=] find Patrick, he goes into an escalating round of asking "Are you sure?", one after the other.
