1!!Chocolate with Nuts:
2* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick dating the old lady and her mother. Is this them misunderstanding the point of giving themselves a good life, or do they [[LikesOlderWomen like older women]]? Another episode, "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E15TheGreatSnailRaceMidLifeCrustacean Mid-Life Crustacean]]", reveals they were stealing panties from Mr. Krabs' mother, which gives some evidence pointing towards the second interpretation.
3* CrossesTheLineTwice: Blatantly lying to your customers in order to sell your product, including duping a frail old woman into thinking it'll be good for her health? Cruel and callous. Doing it in such an over-the-top way that you wonder how on Earth anyone believes it all at face value? Downright ''hilarious''.
4* HilariousInHindsight: The IdenticalStranger that Patrick sells chocolate to is differentiated by a green shirt. Patrick would end up wearing a green shirt when he got his own SpinOff, ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow''.
5* MemeticMutation:
6** "'''''CHOOOOCOOOOOOLAAAAAATE!'''''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Tom's incredibly over-the-top shouting of this word throughout the episode quickly caught on with fans for being a textbook instance of ChewingTheScenery. As a result, Tom's scenes became popular subjects of remixes and other edits.[[/labelnote]]
7** Patrick's facial expression when he says "I love you" has become a common usage for meme reactions.
8** "I was born with glass bones and paper skin."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The con fish's overexaggerated speech on his poor medical condition which is repeated on social media sites. Often when comparing him with other characters with weak body systems or tragic backstories. It's also used as mockery at times, usually to imply that someone is fishing for pity or sympathy.[[/labelnote]]
9* NeverLiveItDown: Although Tom only acted crazy over chocolate in this one episode, it will probably always be the defining characteristic of this background character.
10%%* SignatureScene:
11%%** The scene with the old lady fish and her mother.
12%%** Tom yelling "''CHOCOLAAAAAAAATE!!!''" is easily the most well-known part of the episode.

14!!Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V:
15* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: As a "demonstration" of his powers, Quickster asks to show off his SuperSpeed by running to a mountain in the distance and back again... then offers to do so again, apparently not having moved from his original spot. Did he really stay in one place, or did he complete his run so quickly that it was impossible to actually see him do it?
16* GeniusBonus: Krakatoa is actually the name of a volcano in Indonesia, famous for its eruption in 1883. Its third explosion clocked in at 180 dB, probably the loudest sound in historic history, 36,417 died overall, and the temperature dropped to the point where most of the world didn't experience a summer (similar to Tambora).
17* HilariousInHindsight: "Every Villain Is Lemons" ends up being pretty descriptive of the villains in ''WesternAnimation/Cars2''.
18* MemeticMutation:
19** [[FunWithAcronyms Every Villain Is Lemons]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The name for Barnacle Man's LegionOfDoom which is both parts creative and just plain silly. In the modern era, this name and the lemon image have been used in reference to many Western animated villains who are both evil and bear the color yellow fitting the lemon theme.[[/labelnote]]
20** "Wanna see me run to that mountain and back? ...You wanna see me do it again?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The part where The Quickster eagerly asks to show his SuperSpeed without even moving from his original spot. It's often used in reference to people or events who offer to do something but barely make an effort on how they do it.[[/labelnote]]
21** The scene of the fish making out with his pillow is often edited to include an anime girl making it into an official "dakimakura" or body pillow.
22* SpiritualSuccessor: The story of an elder superhero recruiting four civilians to become new versions of superheroes who get their powers from the costumes they wear sounds very similar to the short-lived [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man]] spin-off, ''ComicBook/{{Slingers}}''.
