* DownerEnding: It's really only such an ending for Squidward. At the end of the episode, he is stuck with the crew after the ranger takes the conch shell's "advice" to do nothing. With very little sanity left, Squidward finally gives in and joins the crew in doing nothing.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The episode's conflict starts when Squidward jokes about the probably dumb requirements of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's club and they respond that he "couldn't get in even if [he] tried", referring to their cramped treehouse. Squidward instead assumes they meant he isn't good enough to join their club and squeezes himself inside.
-->'''Squidward:''' Well, this is stupid. There's no room up here!\\
'''Patrick:''' That's what we've been trying to tell you!\\
'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' We've been stuck up here for 3 days.\\
'''Patrick:''' We told you you wouldn't fit in.

** Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Squidward made clear he thought the whole idea of the club was stupid and only forced his way in because he took offence that they made a point of excluding him, which it was led to them getting lost in the forest in the first place.

But since this is [[ButtMonkey Squidward]] we're talking about, he gets some anyway just because the universe felt like as he falls off his bike, tumbles down a hill and [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** [=SpongeBob=], when naming Mystery, considers calling her Grace or Majesty... or Debbie.
** Also, when the customers complain after Mystery eats all the Krabby Patties:
--->'''Male 1:''' Where's our food?!\\
'''Male 2:''' I'm ''so'' hungry!\\
'''Female:''' This is my ''only'' lunch hour!\\
'''Male 3:''' [[BrickJoke Where's Old Man Jenkins?!]]



* WithFriendsLikeThese: Mystery is shown throughout the episode to care for [=SpongeBob=] just as much as he cares for her. However, when [=SpongeBob=] lets her go per Mr. Krabs' words, she walks away from him without a second thought, with an uncaring look on her face.

* JerkassHasAPoint: It was ridiculously shallow for Mr. Krabs to compare the sentimental value of [=SpongeBob=]'s horse to a dollar bill, but he does make a good point that horses don't belong in fast food restaurant kitchens and they're much happier back in the wild.

* LiteralMinded: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick display cult-like obedience to the Magic Conch, which includes interpreting her instruction to do "nothing" to get out of the kelp forest as literally as possible. They don't just refrain from actively making any effort to escape the forest, they sit there like zombies, not talking, not moving, not even flinching when Squidward throws a stick at them.

** No matter how stupid you may regard the beliefs of others, it is unwise to berate them for their stupidity when you yourself need their assistance.
** Don't assume literal warnings are insults. There genuinely wasn't enough room for Squidward in the club at first.

** Squidward's attempt to get out of the kelp forest gets him lost, but he sees an opening and celebrates freedom after jumping through it. He then sees [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick right next to him and realizes he just came back to where he started.
** From Squidward's POV, the park ranger who finds him turning out to have a Magic Conch Shell, and thus be another member of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's club instead of someone sane. And said ranger's Shell gives the same "Nothing" advice.
