6A giant super goo bubble has formed over Goo Lagoon, scaring Bikini Bottom!
7
8!!"It Came from Goo Lagoon" contains example of:
9* BatmanGambit: Plankton let himself get captured so he could incapacitate [=SpongeBob=], Sandy and Patrick.
10* EitherOrTitle: [=SpongeBob=] vs the Goo.
11* EpicFail: Sandy attempts to destroy a statue of Neptune to prevent its trident from popping the goo bubble; the statue is turned into a skeleton holding the still-intact trident.
12* HealingFactor: [=SpongeBob=] grows a new one after his old hands got covered in goo.
13* ILied: Plankton holds the town at ransom for the Krabby Patty secret formula. He still pops the bubble after getting what he wanted, but it turns out Krabs gave him a fake formula in retaliation.
14* MundaneMadeAwesome: This episode starts off slow, but once Plankton gets involved with the plot, it becomes this trope. The second act of this episode is mainly action packed.
15* MundaneUtility: Sandy uses rockets on her sub in case she gets stuck in traffic.
16* NonProtagonistResolver: Even though Mr. Krabs didn't appear until the last few minutes of the episode, he's the one who ends up thwarting Plankton by giving him [[SomebodySetUsUpTheBomb a fake formula with a bomb]].
17* NotSoAboveItAll: Squidward critiques [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick for ignoring Sandy's warning how dangerous the goo bubbles are, but is quick to change his tune when he finds out he can fashion them as wigs.
18* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The title is a reference to ''Film/ItCameFromOuterSpace''.
19* {{Pun}}: "Howdy, [=SpongeBlob=]! I'm so glad you could stick around."
20* SadisticChoice: Plankton threatens to pop the goo bubble if Mr. Krabs doesn't give him the formula. When he does, he pops it anyway.
21* ShamedByAMob: Mr. Krabs initially didn't give into Plankton's threats, but ended up getting coerced by the citizens who didn't want the city covered in goo. Fortunately, Mr. Krabs gave Plankton a fake formula.
22* ShipTease: After Plankton wrecks the submarine, Sandy is upset by this action. [=SpongeBob=] comforts her, and their body language is notably intimate. They hold each other’s hands and have the other on each other’s shoulder.
23* ShoutOut: "Time to do the [[Film/Breakin2ElectricBoogaloo electric goo boogaloo]]!"
24* TheCassandra: Sandy tries to warn everyone about the dangers of the goo, and of course, they ignore her.
