* NauseaFuel: WHERE TO BEGIN?!?! This episode is certainly one that should not be watched by people with weak stomachs or are planning to eat. The icing on the cake is when Mr. Krabs pulls out the splinter, and is greeted by a stream of [[SubvertedTrope confetti]].......[[DoubleSubversion and then]] a ''long'' stream of pus. Anybody got any BrainBleach?

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Squidward mutilating himself with the cash register at the end and ''still'' not getting the workers' compensation like he wanted. While he was being a jerk to [=SpongeBob=] earlier, his punishment just came off as way too extreme and felt more like the typical Squid torture than an actual karmic comeuppance. It doesn't help that only he gets punished for his actions, but not [[KarmaHoudini Patrick]], who technically treated [=SpongeBob=] '''way''' worse than Squidward did.
* WhatAnIdiot: Seriously, how did Patrick think smashing the splinter with a hammer and covering it with garbage would be even ''remotely'' helpful?
* TheWoobie: [=SpongeBob=]. You can't help but feel bad for the poor sponge when his splinter ''swells very hard!'' It helps that this episode features him acting more closely towards his original personality.
