1 | !!Scaredy Pants: |
2 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Halloween version of the [=SpongeBob=] theme song, courtesy of The Ghastly Ones. |
3 | * CatharsisFactor: Seeing the townsfolk be immensely terrified upon [[spoiler:the sight of [=SpongeBob's=] exposed brain]] qualifies, given how they'd been scaring the bejesus out of him throughout the entire episode, with the likes of Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and even [[JerkassBall Sandy]] included. |
4 | * MemeticMutation: Mr. Krabs [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8416.png choking]] has become a common image used for out-of-context ''[=SpongeBob=]'' faces, to the point of being {{Defictionaliz|ation}}ed in the form of a [[https://youtooz.com/products/choking-mr-krabs Youtooz figure]]. |

6 | !!I Was a Teenage Gary: |
7 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: |
8 | ** When [=SpongeBob=] goes to Squidward's house after becoming a snail, is he doing so because he wants Squidward to be his owner, or is it because [=SpongeBob=] is [[AndIMustScream trying to get Squidward to help him get back to normal]]? Or alternatively, is there no rhyme or reason to it given that he's now an animal without developed thinking skills? |
9 | ** Also the squeamish Doctor; was he being lazy, genuinely nervous, [[FridgeHorror or did he have some idea that the snail plasma, if misused, would cause a horrible mutation?]] All the above? You decide! |
10 | ** Considering how much Squidward [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone otherwise admits what he caused]], did he really blame the snail plasma in that one particular moment (also considering [[PlayedForLaughs how it was clearly a joke]]), or was he referring to himself, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs and/or both]]? |
11 | * BrokenBase: A majority of viewers think this episode is one of the worst pre-movie episodes, but others think it's a horror episode done right and has good jokes. There's also a lot of viewers who think it's [[SoOkayItsAverage average.]] |
12 | * {{Fanon}}: Many fans have come to believe that "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E10NoFreeRidesImYourBiggestFanatic I'm Your Biggest Fanatic]]" serves as an {{Interquel}} to this episode, believing that the jellyfish convention in that episode takes place in Ukulele Bottom. It also helps that when [=SpongeBob=] comes home in this episode, he's wearing the same hat he wore at the start of "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic". |
13 | * JerkassWoobie: Despite Squidward's disregard of Gary, the remorse and trauma he gets after that can make him really pitiable. |
14 | * MemeticMutation: Comparing this episode, particularly the snail transformations, to what happens in the horror manga, ''Manga/{{Uzumaki}}'', or to Heavy Weather from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean''. |
15 | * NightmareFuel: |
16 | ** The [=SpongeSnail=] {{transformation|Horror}}. |
17 | --->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Something is wrong with meeeee--''ow''! |
18 | ** Then there's Squidward's reaction when he sees [=SpongeBob=] after the fact; most of his panic is played unnervingly straight, only to end with him getting injected. The tense music ("House of Horrors", a song known for playing in tense and scary moments in the series) playing during said scene doesn’t help. |
19 | ** [[NightmareRetardant Negated at the end]] when Gary, [=SpongeBob=], and Squidward meow to the tune of "Yo, Ho, Blow The Man Down," annoying Patrick. Though considering what we went through to get here, maybe this was intentional. |
20 | ** The scenes of the starving, parched, near-death Gary, which can easily hit home for pet owners, especially a shot where he appears to have a spiderweb under one of his eyestalks. |
21 | * {{Squick}}: [=SpongeSnail's=] eye shrinking and retreating when touched...like a real snail. |
22 | * TearJerker: When [=SpongeBob=] comes home to see that Gary is extremely sick, he bursts into tears and cradles the little snail in his arms. Definitely a case of RealismInducedHorror for pet owners. |
23 | * UglyCute: [=SpongeSnail=] is actually pretty cute, even though it's [=SpongeBob=] having gone through a TransformationHorror. |
