Context Trivia / ChristmasWho

Go To

1* CulturalTranslation: In the German version, Sandy tells [=SpongeBob=] about Knecht Ruprecht (Farmhand Rupert), the companion of Saint Nicholas in German folklore.
2* DVDCommentary: Stephen Hillenburg and Tom Kenny made one for the DVD release.
3* FirstAppearance: Of Patchy the Pirate and Potty the Parrot.
4* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: A variation. In the storyboard animatic, Sandy explaining Christmas to [=SpongeBob=] is just her casually explaining it, whereas in the final version, there are shots of her blowing raspberries, jumping on the table, growing muscles, stretching her mouth, running back and forth, and wiggling her arms. According to the DVDCommentary, this is because the episode animators thought what was provided for the scene in the storyboard was boring, and they wanted to make it funny.
5* NonSingingVoice: Creator/DeeBradleyBaker sings Mr. Krabs' high notes at the end of "The Very First Christmas to Me" because Clancy Brown couldn't pull off a falsetto voice.
6* OnSetInjury: The unbaked cookie dough that Patchy eats is actually mashed potatoes, and according to the DVDCommentary, Creator/TomKenny's body is unable to properly digest mashed potatoes, so having to do a couple takes of eating it resulted in him having his stomach pumped.
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
8** Squidward (as Santa) originally gave the first girl a plant resembling himself instead of a wrench.
9** While waiting in line for Santa (as Squidward), Mr. Krabs had a deleted line in this episode -- "And don't forget about me pony!"
10* WordOfGod: According to the DVDCommentary, Stephen Hillenburg was hopeful that Patchy's line of, "You, I'm ignoring," would be a case of TheCatchphraseCatchesOn, although it ended up not being the case.
