* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: "Karen for Spot" is Karen's biggest role in the series, and it shows off just how much emotion Creator/JillTalley can put into her character: her confidence in assuring she can take care of Spot, her desperation at thinking she killed Spot and subsequent breakdown when talking to [=SpongeBob=], and her argument with Plankton at the end being some highlights.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: In "Karen for Spot", Plankton is going to a doomsday device convention with other supervillains. We only get one shot of what this looks like, and it's barely given any focus, despite the fact that it could make a fun episode in its own right.

Or how it was unintentional.

I mean the written entry doesn't explain how she's meant to be sympathetic.

The episode does; we spend the entire time seeing Karen's problems and are meant to sympathize with her, so Plankton yelling at her is the last straw.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: In "Karen for Spot", [=SpongeBob=] and Karen have disgusting-looking chum for dinner. [=SpongeBob=], disturbed, says that he doesn't really eat chum. Karen swats hers away and says, "Neither do I!" Is she just turning it down because it's gross, or is it because she's a computer and doesn't need to eat anyways?

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: At the end of "Karen for Spot", Karen blames Plankton for all the trouble she went through, saying that he should have trained Spot properly. The thing is, Plankton ''did'' leave a lot of instructions for Karen, and they got destroyed because she wasn't paying attention. She's also [[IdiotBall noticeably dumber]] in this episode and does things without thinking them through. Karen never admits that most of it was her own mistake, so Plankton's arguing is justified.
