** "Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are ya?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The question asked to get into the Salty Spitoon. Used for things considered "challenging". (Example: "I watched [[ShockSite "2 Girls 1 Cup"]]." "Yeah, so?" "While eating chocolate ice cream.")[[/labelnote]]

** "May I take your hat, sir?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Patrick's over-the-top way of acting like a butler when he interprets Squidward's instructions as acting "like a weenie." The silliness of the bit and Squidward's dry disapproval made it a popular subject for remixes and edits.[[/labelnote]]
** The WorldsSmallestViolin.[[labelnote:Explanation]]What gets set up as a gag about Mr. Krabs mocking Squidward's insecurity gets turned on its head when Mr. Krabs reveals he actually ''is'' playing the world's smallest violin. The initial setup of the gag made it popular to repost as a way of sarcastically commenting on petty concerns being blown out of proportion.[[/labelnote]]
** "Oh no, he's hot!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]While trying to deflect Squilliam's arrogance, Squidward tries to imagine him in his underwear, only to visualize him with an attractively muscular physique. The bit became popular to parody in reference to male and/or muscular characters from various other media that are considered hot, both in-universe and out. The quote is also commonly used as reaction to cases of FanservicePack, AdaptationalSkimpiness or AdaptationalCurves. [[/labelnote]]

** The scene of Squidward's face shrinking and shriveling when Squilliam announces he'll be going to Squidward's restaurant gets used in a lot of reaction images, with the most notable one probably being the "When I'm in a [X] competition and my opponent is a [Y]" snowclone.

* DesignatedVillain: Reg the bouncer is the antagonist in this episode, barring [=SpongeBob=] from entering the Salty Spitoon. While he was pretty condescending about why he keeps refusing him entry (for being a "weenie"), it's made quite clear from the beginning that this was very much for [=SpongeBob=]'s own good.

** The scene of Patrick beating himself up has been edited by many, placing other characters into the scene as the aggressor.

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the German dub, Squidward's infamous "Oh no, he's hot!" line is changed to be less HoYay by having him instead say, "Oh nein, Waschbrettbauch!" ("Waschbrettbauch" being the German equivalent to "fab abs" or "six-pack")

** Did Reg really fall for the fake fight ploy? Or did he realize [=SpongeBob=] was never gonna stop trying and he figured the only way he'd learn was by going in and pretended to fall for it so he wasn't liable for [=SpongeBob=] getting injured?

** There's also that little smirk he makes when [=SpongeBob=] finally enters the Salty Spitoon: is he happy that [=SpongeBob=] got what he wanted, or is he thinking "He won't last five seconds"?

* HilariousInHindsight: Spongebob spends the whole episode trying and failing to prove he is tough. Fast-forward two seasons to "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS5E15TheInmatesOfSummerToSaveASquirrel The Inmates of Summer]]" when he and Patrick accidentally go to prison, and when they are completely unaffected by the warden's tortures one of their fellow inmates gives an impressed, "These guys are tough!"

** "Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are ya?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The question asked to get into the Salty Spitoon. Used for things considered "challenging". (Example: "I watched [[ShockSite "2 Girls 1 Cup"]]." "Yeah, so?" "While eating.")[[/labelnote]]
