* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Squidward laying down and contorting himself while screaming "Fuuuutuuuuure!" is just strange and not particularly relevant to anything.

** "Fuuuutuuuuure!'[[labelnote:Explanation]]Squidward's MadnessMantra upon discovering that he really did wind up in the distant future, which became a common subject of remixes by fans for the goofy image of Squidward reciting "future" while doing sit-ups.[[/labelnote]]

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This was the first episode to have [=SpongeBob=] persistently bug Squidward into hanging out with him. However, unlike later instances of this, [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward were victim to PoorCommunicationKills. [=SpongeBob=] mistakenly believed Squidward wanted to go Jellyfishing with him, and instead of correcting his mistake, Squidward keeps telling him that he's "not ready to go." In later episodes, Squidward would bluntly tell him to go away, but [=SpongeBob=] wouldn't listen.

* TearJerker: [=SpongeBob=]'s devastated crying spiel after briefly getting fired.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The scene where Mr. Krabs still blames [=SpongeBob=] for participating in karate (despite Sandy explaining that he wasn't at fault) was one instance where his BadBoss traits showed early on, before it became apparent in later seasons. In this episode however, [[JerkassHasAPoint Krabs is perfectly justified in doing so]] considering [=SpongeBob=]'s karate obsession led him to start attacking customers and even Krabs himself, while later episodes don't give him any such justification beyond greed or just being a jerk.

* GrowingTheBeard: Some people consider this the moment [=SpongeBob=] started getting attention, while others say it was in season 2.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: When Squidward finally makes it back to the past and is reunited with Spongebob and Patrick, even though it's downplayed with Squidward refusing to go jelly-fishing with them, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments it still ends on a joke]] [[TomatoInTheMirror revealing that he accidentally invented it]].

* HarsherInHindsight: "Spongebob, you're fired!" would eventually become the title/premise of a [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS9E11SpongeBobYoureFired Season 9 episode]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Spongebob practicing karate ''at his job'' was what got Mr. Krabs to demand him to stop using it. Notice how Sandy didn't try to use karate on [=SpongeBob=] while the latter was working?

** A [=YouTuber=] by the name of Karsten Runquist, in an analysis video, explains how the episode delves into ''existential nihilism''. [[FridgeHorror Makes you think, huh]]?

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: When Squidward finally makes it back to the past and is reunited with Spongebob and Patrick, even though it's downplayed with Squidward angrily refusing to go jelly-fishing with them, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments it still ends on a joke]] [[TomatoInTheMirror revealing that he accidentally invented it]].

* NightmareFuel: Squidward being trapped in an endless void of nothingness. His contentment at some peace and quiet proves ''very'' shortlived, and he handles the situation about as well as anybody else would.

* FridgeHorror: Squidward was locked in a freezer for 2,000 years and nobody noticed. That's kind of sad. He takes it [[AngstWhatAngst pretty lightly]], though only after [=SpongeTron=] knocked some sense into him.
** FridgeBrilliance: Nobody went for Squidward because his return via time machine was a bootstrap paradox. Since he returned at the point before he was frozen, he technically never went missing so nobody thought to look for him.
* GeniusBonus: [=SpongeTron=] having 486 clones is a possible reference to Intel's 486 CPU.

* NightmareFuel: The face on the hot sauce drop.
* OneSceneWonder: The talking hot sauce drop, as made painfully clear by the other entries here in this page.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Admit it: Sandy working with [=SpongeBob=] at the Krusty Krab would've been ''awesome''! Unfortunately, due to NegativeContinuity, not only is this development not carried over into future episodes, but Sandy is completely absent from all but a select few Krusty Krab-related episodes afterwards.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Squidward going [[MadnessMantra "FEE-YOOO-CHUUUUUUUUR...FEE-YOOO-CHUUUUUUUUR..."]] while doing that weird abdominal exercise-like movement.
* FreakyIsCool: The void scene is easily reminiscent of the one from ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [=SpongeBob=] here was just ''adorable''.

* HarsherInHindsight: Squidward is subjected to HarmlessFreezing, and it won't be the last time, but his Japanese voice actor Creator/RokuroNaya died of pneumonia in 2014.
