• When reading the diary, Squidward sees the extent of SpongeBob's delusion about the world around him, from saying how Squidward used bad curse words to show that he cared for his neighbor (not) and how he and Mr. Krabs "worked together" on one of his most favorite days at the Krusty Krab: cleaning day.

• SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs make Plankton disguise as a female urchin who tries to get the urchin out of the Krusty Krab, but then more urchins appear and he gets attacked as usual.
• When they finally catch the urchins (in a trash can), Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob take them far from the Krusty Krab. He eventually finds a spot and lets them go... right next to the Krusty Krab. The best part is Mr. Krabs’ hilariously exaggerated gasp as the urchins return and Spongebob backing away.

  SpongeBob: (pops up) SQUID!!!
  Squidward: Why did I say that?
  SpongeBob: (pops up again) WARD!!!

188B - Yeti Krabs

• This:
  SpongeBob: Squidward and I are as close as brothers!

  Mr Krabs: (The Lawsuit is $150,000,000,000) Oh, that's a lot of zeroes.

• Squidward and SpongeBob flushing stuff down the toilet for fun, especially when they freak out after they realize they accidentally flushed the safe containing the Krabby Patty formula.

197B - Two Thumbs Down

198A - Sharks vs. Pods

• Donnie accidentally blowing his hair off with a hairdryer.
• After the entire episode makes it seem like the Sharks and the Pods are rival gangs, it turns out that they're only a pair of dance troupes with a hilarious explanation for every calling card, such as the fruit vendor giving the Sharks all his stock out of concern for their health rather than intimidation and the fainting girls being the Sharks' fans.

When it turns out that the Sharks are a dance troupe and not a gang of criminals, it turns out that Johnny actually injured himself while trying to do a dance move. What sells it is Shark Face stating that Johnny won't be able to dance for days or even a week as if days or weeks are incredibly long times to recover.

198B - CopyBob DittoPants

• When Squidward sees the two SpongeBobs, he begins to think he's dreaming. First, he tries to hit himself to wake up.

Eventually, he concludes that he can fly because he's in a dream and runs around with his arms flailing.
• The second SpongeBob clone putting Plankton in his mouth and being lectured by Karen not to put dirty things in his mouth. Plankton remarks that this may be why he never had children.

• When Squidward tries to lull SpongeBob to sleep by playing on his clarinet, Squidward being Squidward, he ends up playing awfully and a flying snail monster that tried to fly off with the Krabby Patty earlier swoops down and carries him in the air before dropping him.

• Plankton comes to the conclusion that the secret formula is inside Gary's snail shell, but after he finds it, it turns out that Plankton just found one of SpongeBob's old shopping lists and that he's gone crazy from the gases in Gary's shell. The secret formula was really on top of SpongeBob's TV set.
  • The end where an insane Plankton goes running out of the vet's office and off into the sunset with SpongeBob's shopping list, believing it to be the secret formula.
    "Ha-ha! I got it! I got it! I've finally got the formula! It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine! Open the sparkling apple juice, Karen! Daddy's bringing the bacon home! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! WHOO!"
