History Trivia / SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E17ProcrastinationImWithStupid

* DeletedScene: A significant portion was cut from reruns in the US (in areas such as the UK, it remains). In one scene, [=SpongeBob=] looks out the window at his friends having fun and bemoans having to stay inside to write his essay, but reminds himself that, once it's finished, he'll be one step closer to getting his driver's license (punctuated by stock footage of [[BlackComedy a dragster wrecking]]). He then does some exercises to "get those creative juices pumpin'!" Exactly why the scene was cut remains a point of contention (some theorize that it's because Patrick [[AccidentalInnuendo looked like he was undoing Sandy's bikini]] when he's rubbing lotion on her shoulders and [=SpongeBob=] making his nose flex looked too phallic, or the censors came to the [[InsaneTrollLogic quite-honestly insane conclusion that kids would try to imitate the dragster crash]]) though it wasn't until 2005 that the episode became edited. Deleting the scene also creates a minor plothole in which the specific time [=SpongeBob=] possibly fell asleep isn't shown, as in the deleted scene, when [=SpongeBob=] tries to write his essay before going to exercise, he falls over on his desk into the same position he is in when he wakes up towards the end of the episode. As of October 2019, the episode is now uncensored when it airs on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, and as of 2021, is available on Creator/ParamountPlus.

* DigitalDestruction: When Nickelodeon started airing the edited version of "Procrastination", the colors became noticeably washed out and less saturated. This extended to its sister episode as well. The reason why this happened is unknown. The [=DVDs=], Amazon Prime, Nicktoons and overseas airings have the episode's normal colors intact.
