8	!!"Patrick! The Game" contains examples of:
9	* BatmanGambit: Invoked by [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy to keep Squidward playing. Patrick improvises a new rule that anyone in jail can leave if the other players say their name. When Squidward storms off in frustration, everyone tries to stop him and they all say his name. Upon being commended for this strategy, Squidward resumes play.
10	* BullyHunter: Sandy doesn’t stand for Squidward's taunts at the Game Night, either shutting him up or forcing him to join in when he doesn’t make an effort.
11	* {{Calvinball}}: Patrick's game just gets more and more nonsensical as it goes on, with new rules being made up at apparently random.
12	* Catch22Dilemma: Squidward can't roll the dice when he's in jail, and the only way to get out is to roll a 6. Fortunately, Patrick realizes it and makes up another rule to get out of jail.
13	* DudeNotFunny: Any attempts from Squidward to be snarky or put Patrick down not only get this response from Sandy, but the threat of violence too.
14	* FictionalBoardGame: This episode involves Patrick inventing the titular board game and inviting [=SpongeBob=], Sandy, and Squidward to his house to play it. The game plays like a cross between ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Operation}}'', with Patrick [[CalvinBall making up the rules as the game progresses]]. While [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy have a lot of fun playing the game, Squidward has the worst luck, continuously landing in Jail (and being sent to a real jail when he destroys the game out of anger).
15	* IdeaBulb: Patrick's head had a miniature version of him indicating of giving ideas.
16	* {{Jerkass}}: Squidward. He does make fun of Patrick's game a couple times, in which Sandy threatens him.
17	* KarmicButtMonkey: Squidward has the worst luck while playing the game, continuously landing in jail. Though he brought it out on himself since he kept insulting Patrick's game.
18	* LaserGuidedKarma: Squidward gets sent to jail for real after destroying the game.
19	* ObviousRulePatch: Squidward is unable to get out of jail since the only way to do so is to roll a 6, but rolling the dice is forbidden while in jail. Patrick fixes this problem by adding another rule that stipulates a player can also get out of jail if someone says their name.
20	* RunningGag: Patrick inventing new rules for the game.
21	* ShoutOut: Most of Patrick's game are shoutouts to board game methods. When Patrick finishes making his game, it’s a reference to ''Film/{{Frankenstein\|1931}}''.
22	-->'''Patrick:''' It's a game! It's a game! Now I know what it feels like to be a game maker!

28	!!"The Sewers of Bikini Bottom" contains examples of:
29	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The titular sewer that [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward go into. Spacious enough for a large sewer snake to reside in it.
30	* ContinuityNod: [=SpongeBob=] has a to do list and some of them refers to the previous episodes such as Chocolate with Nuts, Sandy’s Rocket, Mooncation, etc.
31	* CuttingCorners: Crupski had the stadium's pipe have a reducer in it and also made of cardboard. Charlton use the phrase a couple times when calling out him and Mr. Krabs.
32	* EyeScream: Another one for Squidward in this season. This time, lampreys attack his eyes.
33	* FreezeFrameBonus: [=SpongeBob=]'s to do list has many silly items on it. These include "take road trip to the moon" and "wear all my socks at once."
34	* FunWithFlushing: [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward have fun flushing a variety of objects down the Krusty Krab toilets.
35	* IgnoredExpert: Charlton's warning that the pipe won't be able to hold the water is ignored by Mr. Krabs and Crupski, who only cares about the money that gets saved.
36	* LargeHam: Charlton Hawkfish.
37	* MacGuffin: The Krabby Patty secret formula.
38	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Squidward says most of the phrase after ordering [=SpongeBob=] to flush himself down the toilet.
39	* NotSoAboveItAll: Squidward actually joins [=SpongeBob=] flushing stuff down the toilet.
40	* OhCrap:
41	** When [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward realize that the secret formula was flushed into the sewers.
42	** Squidward when he realize he is inside the snake's stomach.
43	* SeriousBusiness: Charlton Hawkfish takes sewers very seriously, and is outraged at the idea of cutting corners on plumbing systems.
