7!!"The Slumber Party" contains examples of:
8
9* AnAesop: Don't assume the worst about your children; let them have fun the way they want it.
10* BigNo: Done by Mr. Krabs when Pearl tells him, "Now it's going to cost you...''money!''"
11* BreadEggsMilkSquick: "We could stay up really, really late, and tell ghost stories, and trade socks!"
12* ChekhovsGun: The root beer cellar.
13* ContinuityNod: A sponge being mistaken for [=SpongeBob=] in disguise had happened before in "No Weenies Allowed".
14* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: [=SpongeBob=]'s first attempt to crash Pearl's slumber party involves wearing a fake mustache and pretending to deliver a pizza to Pearl and her friends.
15* DumbassHasAPoint: After getting hit by a piano, [=SpongeBob=] was right to tell Mr. Krabs they should at least leave Pearl alone, as she and her friends are not causing any trouble and seem trustworthy enough to take care of themselves. Mr. Krabs does not listen and still orders him to get into the party otherwise he'll fire him.
16* FreezeFrameBonus: The list of all the rules that Mr. Krabs hammers in front of his house.
17* GrossUpCloseUp: Of [=SpongeBob=]'s stinky socks.
18* HaHaHaNo:
19-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Uh, [=SpongeBob=], do you know anything about girls?\
20'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' ''(laughs)'' Do I know anything about... ''(stops laughing)'' No, but Gary does.
21* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Mr. Krabs recruits [=SpongeBob=] to stop Pearl and her friends from destroying his house during their slumber party. [=SpongeBob=] successfully gets into the house, but while trying to show Pearl that he's fun, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy ends up destroying Krabs' house himself.]]
22* {{Hypocrite}}:
23** Mr. Krabs becomes convinced that Pearl and her friends will destroy his house and recruits [=SpongeBob=] to stop them from doing so... after he acts it out by personally destroying [=SpongeBob's=] house.
24** One of the rules Mr. Krabs gives Pearl is "no boys allowed", yet he tries to get [=SpongeBob=] to infiltrate the slumber party.
25* HypocriticalHumor: [=SpongeBob=] tries to infiltrate Pearl's slumber party by going in disguise. It then shows a female sponge from "Farawayville" who just so happens to want to join Pearl's party, and is rejected. [[BaitAndSwitch Turns out that was not SpongeBob in disguise]], as when she runs away from the party in tears, [=SpongeBob=] remarks that the girl is "uug-lee!"
26* IdenticalStranger: Girly [=TeenGirl=], whom Pearl assumes to be [=SpongeBob=] DisguisedInDrag, but turns out to be an actual person who looks like [=SpongeBob=].
27* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When [=SpongeBob=] asks Pearl why he can't come to her sleepover, Pearl responds that he's just like [Mr. Krabs], to which [=SpongeBob=] excitedly replies, "Really?", only to go into shock when Pearl calls them both "a no-good, dried-up old fuddy-duddy".
28* KarmaHoudini: Technically the mess of Mr. Krabs' house at the end was all [=SpongeBob=]'s fault, yet he received no comeuppance from either Pearl or Mr. Krabs for it. Subverted, however, in that, like Krabs, he, too, is banned from the beach rave.
29* KidsPunishingParents: After Krabs goes into the house and sees it destroyed, he tries to ground Pearl for throwing a WildTeenParty, but she rightfully calls him out for making [=SpongeBob=] crash her party who then went on to trash the house and traumatize her friends. As punishment for trying to blame her for something he's ultimately responsible for, Pearl makes Krabs pay for a rave at the beach, which includes a bouncer that's been instructed to keep him (and [=SpongeBob=]) away from the festivities.
30* LaserGuidedKarma: Mr. Krabs gets a rightful punishment for sneaking [=SpongeBob=] (threatening to fire him if he didn't) into the party where he destroys the house, and not letting Pearl and her friends handle themselves, when he is forced to spend many of his savings on a beach party for the girls.
31* LegCling: [=SpongeBob=] does this to Pearl while begging to stay at her party.
32* MistakenForAnImposter: Mr. Krabs asks [=SpongeBob=] to sneak into Pearl's slumber party and [=SpongeBob=] agrees, saying he has the perfect disguise. It then cuts to a female sponge named "Girly [=TeenGirl=]" from "Farawayville" asking to attend Pearl's party. Pearl accuses her of being [=SpongeBob=] DisguisedInDrag and she's chased away from the party in tears. The real [=SpongeBob=] pulls up to the house with Mr. Krabs, wondering who she was.
33-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' I dunno, but she is ''ug-leeee!''
34* MistakenForUndead: After watching ''Slumber Party Zombie Attack'', Pearl and her friends mistake [=SpongeBob=] for a zombie when he emerges from the root beer cellar, looking a lot like the zombie on TV.
35* NotSoDifferentRemark: Pearl initially tries to keep [=SpongeBob=] away from the party by telling him that he is like her father: "A no-good, dried-up old fuddy-duddy!"
36* PaperThinDisguise: [=SpongeBob's=] disguise consists solely of a mustache.
37* PianoDrop: Pearl and her friends drop a piano on [=SpongeBob=] when he comes over disguised as a piano repairman.
38* SlumberParty: The episode focuses on Pearl having one.
39* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: When Mr. Krabs opens a pizza box to find [=SpongeBob=] inside, he eats a slice, then spits it out because it's too cold, and says, "You should have been here in 30 minutes or less."
40* TroubledFetalPosition: One of Pearl's friends as a result of "Zombie Shock Syndrome".
41* WildTeenParty: Mr. Krabs assumes Pearl is having one and it's why he orders [=SpongeBob=] to crash the party. She's actually having a rather tame get-together with her friends and it's only after she punishes Mr. Krabs does she throw a truly wild party in the form of a beach rave.

49!!"Grooming Gary" contains examples of:
50
51* AlliterativeTitle: '''G'''rooming '''G'''ary
52* AnAesop: A very clear one about treating your pets well, and recognizing their needs and feelings.
53* BaitAndSwitch: The judge awards [=SpongeBob=] and his pet first prize. [=SpongeBob=] initially thinks they're awarding Gary for speaking his mind, but it turns out they were talking about [=SpongeBob's=] "other pet": Patrick dressed as a dog (worm).
54* BerserkButton: When someone sticks their hand in Gary's undercarriage, he gets vicious.
55* BindleStick: Gary has one while attempting to escape...until [=SpongeBob=] offers to carry his shell.
56* CatsHateWater: Gary, being the underwater version of a cat, needs Patrick to hold him down while [=SpongeBob=] [[HatesBaths bathes him]] and brushes his teeth.
57* DarkHorseVictory: Patrick ends up winning the pet show.
58* EyeScream: During the pet revolt, a snail who was previously made to wear a too-small pair of glasses by her owner makes him wear the same glasses and he screams in pain in response. Shortly after, another snail squeezes a guy's eyes when she lassos him with a diamond-studded leash.
59* {{Foreshadowing}}: Some the snails and worms are shown to be very unhappy about the outfits they wear and they are very bothered with the judge inspecting them hinting that they hate The Pet Show very much.
60* GrossUpCloseUp: Several close-ups of Gary's shell and teeth before [=SpongeBob=] realizes how much fancier all the other pets are.
61* OhCrap: [=SpongeBob=] does this when the judge goes to check Gary's undercarriage.
62* PetContestEpisode: The episode revolves around [=SpongeBob=] getting Gary pampered so he can fit in at the Bikini Bottom pet show, which he detests.
63* RunningGag: Gary viciously bites anyone who gives him an undercarriage check.
64* ShoutOut: Charles and Foofy [[ParasolParachute glide via umbrella]] like ''Film/MaryPoppins''.
65* SpeaksFluentAnimal: [=SpongeBob's=] ability to "speak a little snail" allows him to tell the other pet owners why the pets are rioting.
66* SuddenAnatomy: Gary grows arms when he and the other pets stage a riot.
