* LoveToHate: InUniverse. For as much as [=SpongeBob=] was willing to put the Atomic Flounder under arrest, he's instead ''elated'' to see the Dirty Bubble, as he's his favorite supervillain, to the point of asking for his autograph.

* AwesomeButImpractical: If there was ever any doubt on how impractical having the Boatmobile be invisible actually is, this episode shows it. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy loses it twice which forces them to feel in the air for it, and both times ends with Barnacle Boy behind the exhaust pipes as Mermaid Man starts the ignition. Also, if a newbie like [=SpongeBob=] were to ride with them in it, they wouldn't know anything about which button's which, as he accidentally presses the origami button thinking it was the windshield wipers.

* TearsOfRemorse: [=SpongeBob=] tears up when Barnacle Boy calls him out for his overuse of the Conch Signal for menial favors, and he confesses he did that just because he wanted to spend time with his idols.

*** When Spongebob is scared to take off his pants or underwear in front of Pearl and her friends, Mr. Krabs could've just as easily asked them to look away. The fact he didn't consider such an option, despite Spongebob's life supposedly being at risk, implies that the whole thing was staged.
** Spongebob is given long enough on the hook to get to the Krusty Krab, far longer than any fisherman would have reason to wait for the catch they've hooked. Noticeably, once he gets there, the hook ''only'' tugs Spongebob every time he tries to defy Mr. Krabs.

** [=SpongeBob=] ignores Mr. Krabs' warning, as he rides on a hook on the way to work, and his pants get stuck to it. Then he has to deal with being laughed at for being naked when his underwear gets torn off by the hook. As the icing on the cake, Squidward, who Spongebob leaving caused to be attacked by a mob of angry customers, is the one who is revealed to have been manning the hook the whole time.
** Patrick on the other hand, successfully got captured by the fishermen, as he gets turned into tuna and is trapped in a can. He not only also disobeys Mr. Krabs, but he also tries to get [=SpongeBob=] to ride hooks with him. While he does manage to get returned home before he can be eaten, with Spongebob too embarrassed to set foot outside and Squidward stuck at work for the rest of the day, even if he wanted to let Patrick out of the can, Patrick will be stuck there for a while.

* AnAesop:
** Don't get obsessed over dangerous things.
** Don't be afraid to resist your peers pressuring you to do something dangerous.
** If you're going to do something dangerous, be prepared for painful consequences.
** Doing something dangerous once and getting away with it doesn't mean it's not dangerous at all.
** When people warn you to not do dangerous things, it’s because they care for you.



* AnAesop: Authority figures such as the police are role models to look up to, but don't call them when you're not in danger -- it is important that they aren't distracted when something bad does happen.

* TooDumbToLive: Even after Mr. Krabs’ warnings, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick still continue to ride hooks and pay for their actions. [=SpongeBob=] gets stuck to a hook that tore his pants off (which was controlled by Squidward, so he actually wasn’t in any danger). Patrick on the other hand was captured by a real fisherman off screen and arrives back home trapped in a tuna can.
