* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Sandy fooled by [=SpongeBob=]'s act of being able to breathe air, or is she purposely playing dumb in order to force him to eventually tell the truth?

we have the actual storyboards for help wanted and the whole intro part is there, so i don't think this is true


* {{Padding}}: Notice how nothing in "Help Wanted" leading up to [=SpongeBob=] standing outside the restaurant is plot-relevant. That's because the original pitch version began there, requiring an extra minute and a half of animation to be added for the broadcast. And even then, it wasn't enough, leading to the creation of the short-short "Reef Blower".

* MemeticMutation: "I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it..." is often used to represent someone desperately resisting a temptation (such as buying something expensive). Often, "I NEEEEEED ITTTTTT!!!" is added afterwards to show that the memer ended up caving in.

* HilariousInHindsight: Sandy saying that she and [=SpongeBob=] "could be tighter than bark on a tree" after ''WebAnimation/{{Pamtri}}'' made a {{Catchphrase}} of a slight variation on that.

* GeniusBonus: In real life, sea sponges can survive for around 2 to 3 hours without water before they die of dehydration, whereas starfish can only live a couple minutes without water. With this in mind, it makes a lot more sense that [=SpongeBob=]'s dehydration process was a slow burn, while Patrick immediately became dehydrated upon setting foot in the treedome.

Not YMMV and already mentioned in trivia.


!!Reef Blower:
* PopCultureUrbanLegends: For the longest time until storyboard artist [[https://twitter.com/JayLender1/status/1535261127549939712?s=20&t=mfAcjFm_7v9dHdyttYO-zQ Jay Lender proved it false on his Twitter account]], the claim that was floating around as to why this episode had no dialogue was that it originally was written with dialogue, but the sound equipment broke before anything could be recorded and since there was no time to get replacements, just rewrote the episode without the voices.

* ItWasHisSled: Considering it's one of the defining elements of the character, it should be a surprise to virtually no one that [=SpongeBob=] gets the job at the Krusty Krab.

!!Help Wanted:
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [=SpongeBob=]'s rapid-fire patty-cooking scored to Music/TinyTim's cover of "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight". Supposedly, it blew the show's music budget, which is why the series mainly relies on stock music cues for its score.
