9	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: At the end, [=SpongeBob=] absorbs too many bubbles, making him grow into a giant.
10	* EekAMouse: Squidward acts like this when he sees a sea urchin in the Krusty Krab, and afterwards, tries to hit it with a steel pipe. He tries to do the same thing with [=SpongeBob=] who he mistakes for a sea urchin.

13	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: The small [=SpongeBob=] briefly places pickle slices over his front and back.

19	'''Sportz?'''
20
21	'''Original air date''': 7/16/2017
22
23	[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick accidentally receive Sandy's box of sporting equipment but do not know how to play the sports, so Squidward decides to use their idiocy and invents a new sport to get back at them for annoying him, until Sandy catches on.
24
25	!!Sportz? contains examples of:
26
27	* AbusiveParents: Implied. When Squidward attempts to complain to his mother that Sandy's cheating, she simply snaps that she doesn’t care.
28	* BadassLongRobe: Squidward wears one as part of his role as the Rule Giver.
29	* BullyHunter: Sandy, instead of being angry that a parcel posted to her was opened by someone else, is outraged by Squidward’s actions. Standing up for [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick, she challenges Squidward to a sports tournament. Not only does she win ''every'' game, but Squidward is maimed in the process.
30	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Once again, [=SpongeBob=] acts nowhere close to how he acted back in "Pizza Delivery" when Squidward tried to lull him into eating the Krusty Krab pizza and [=SpongeBob=] was able to catch on.
31	* CompressedVice: In this episode, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick don't know what sports are and are really poor at them, not even knowing how to play them the right way; in past episodes, they know every sport and excel at them.
32	* CurbStompBattle: Sandy easily beats Squidward during their competition, to the point where the latter is not only horribly injured but fails to earn a single point.
33	* DisproportionateRetribution: Squidward was rightfully angry about his garden being destroyed, but he went way overboard with his payback.
34	* DumbassHasAPoint:
35	** Despite their reckless way of sport uses, both Sponge and Pat did prove a point when they politely ask Squidward to teach them how to play them correctly.
36	** One of the sports Squidward teaches is using ice skates as "running shoes"; during the sport, [=SpongeBob=] was correct to ask Squidward if they are playing the sport properly because the skates are hurting his feet from running in them on bare ground.
37	* FailedASpotCheck: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick don't look on the side of the box that has Sandy's name on it.
38	* FlawExploitation: Upon seeing how [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick don't even know what sports are and how to play them correctly, Squidward decides to use this flaw by teaching them more improper rules that cause them to hurt and injure themselves nonstop.
39	* GoodAngelBadAngel: Squidward is asked by [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick to teach them how to play sports properly and is given advice on what to do by angel and devil versions of himself. Angel Squidward advises that he must give them the right information so they don't hurt themselves, while Devil Squidward sadistically gloats that Squidward has the opportunity to trick the two dolts into hurting each other as payback for all the times they annoyed him. Angel Squidward ends up agreeing with Devil Squidward after he gets hit by a tennis ball.
40	* IllFatedFlowerbed: Squidward's begonias get trampled by [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's thanks to their poor sport antics.
41	* JerkassHasAPoint: Squidward does indeed make a point by showing Sponge and Pat the different sports equipment and telling them about them, which inspires [=SpongeBob=] who asks him to teach them how to play.
42	* LaserGuidedKarma: In retaliation for [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's injuries (and not teaching them how to play the sports correctly as they asked), Sandy forces Squidward into a sporting competition that ends with him being horribly injured himself.
43	* MediumBlending: At one point, Squidward ends up getting his body sliced up into live-action calamari that contains his eyes.
44	* SeriesContinuityError: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick don’t know what sports and the equipment they received are, but in past episodes, they do.
45	* TitleDrop: Several times over the course of the episode.
