** The German is fairly good, but not perfect. In the episode, Spongebob says "Ich bin gekommen, um meine altes Heimat zu besuchen", which is servicable and understandable German. However, the word "[[https://en.langenscheidt.com/german-english/heimat Heimat]]" usually has connotations of "homeland" or "home country" or even "hometown" as opposed to "house" or "home". Really, Spongebob should have said "mein altes Haus".

** In the German dub proper, the two instead use a Bavarian dialect, which, considering Squidward's attire, (which is that of a stereotypical German, read: Bavarian) is quite appropriate.
