** Count Orlok only appears very briefly at the end, but he's one of the most memorable parts of the episode, so much so that he became a recurring character in the seasons after ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobMovieSpongeOutOfWater''.

* MemeticMutation: "We're not talking about ''this'' or ''this''. We're talking about ''THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!!!!!!!''" Often used as a jab toward fandoms that are hard to please.

** Count Orlok only appears very briefly at the end, but he's one of the most memorable parts of the episode.

* OneSceneWonder: Count Orlok only appears very briefly at the end, but he's one of the most memorable parts of the episode.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The Hash Slinging Slasher had his hand cut off, replaced it with a rusty spatula, and was killed by being run over over by a bus. And to add insult to injury, he was fired during his funeral!

* PopCulturalOsmosis: Count Orlok is now better known for his appearance at the very end of this episode to modern viewers and millennials.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Several dubs (including Russian) mentioned the Hash-Slinging Slasher having been ''cremated'' rather than fired after being run over. The line [[CrossesTheLineTwice is still crossed twice]] because the main cast live ''underwater'', somewhere the fire is not supposed to normally be.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This is one of the very first instances where Mr. Krabs enforces a very unethical policy at the Krusty Krab, having it be open 24/7 with nobody being able to go home, but it's more {{downplayed|trope}} here by virtue of the fact that not only does Mr. Krabs [[HypocriticalHumor not follow the policy himself]], but said policy is only used for the sake of a FramingDevice, allowing for nighttime shenanigans that aren't often seen in episodes. Plus the ending indicated he was planning on hiring more help, not that it or the nighttime shift stuck.
