* AnAesop:
** Don't tell other people to stop having fun because you don't like it. If you don't like that they keep getting you involved, ask them to stop.
** Trying to provoke others into starting a fight only makes you look like a {{Jerkass}}.
** If you take a game too seriously, the others will eventually want to stop playing, so set boundaries.

* AnAesop:
** Know the value of your items before pawning them off or throwing them away. They may be worth more to collectors than you anticipate.
** Going on a wild goose chase, [[ExaggeratedTrope let alone in a graveyard]], really isn't worth it. By the time you catch up to what you're looking for, you'll have probably already lost what you sought out in the first place.
** Collector's items can be rendered worthless very quickly. Be ready to obtain the merchandise and sell it fast.

* ShoutOut: When Mr. Krabs fights off the skeleton army, he says, "Look at me, I'm Errol Fin!", in reference to swashbuckling action star Creator/ErrolFlynn.

'''Customer:''' A queen, you say? We-ell, that's someth- ...Wait a second. [[LampshadeHanging They don't have a queen!]]

-->'''Patrick:''' Thanks a lot, [=SpongeBob=]! While you were just standing there whistling, someone threw a snowball at me!

* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: The floating shopping list, which Mr. Krabs turns around to reveal his drawing of "the Ghost of Soda Drink Hats".

* AffablyEvil: Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen. He may be willing to sic the entire army of the living dead on Mr. Krabs, but all he really wants is his hat back. If Krabs had just given him the hat back, Smitty would've left him alone.

* TheUnpronounceable: [[OverlyLongName Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen.]] It's pronounced "Smitty Werben-yaygrrr-man-jensen".

* MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial: the female collector has a unique design, while the males are generic incidental characters wearing business suits.

* UnpronounceableAlias: [[OverlyLongName Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen.]] It's pronounced "Smitty Werben-yaygrrr-man-jensen".

* AccidentallyRealFakeAddress: Mr. Krabs tries to scare Spongebob out of a priceless soda-drinking hat by [[ScoobyDooHoax posing as a ghost]], telling him the hat is cursed and must be returned to its deceased owner, Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen. Approximately one nanosecond later, [=SpongeBob=] announces he's gone and put the thing in the ''actual'' Smitty's grave.

* DroolDeluge: Provides the trope image. After Mr. Krabs has sold a certain #1 hat to Spongebob, some random rich fish comes to him and explains that that hat is actually rare and famous, and he'll pay a lot for it. Mr. Krabs starts gagging and drooling. Then another fish comes and offers him more money for that hat, and Krabs then drools so much he creates a mini river out of it. To top it all off, another fish offering an even higher price rows his boat over the drool river.

* AffablyEvil: Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen. He may be willing to sic the entire army of the living dead on Mr. Krabs, but really, all he really wants is his hat back. If Krabs had just given him the hat back, Smitty would've left him alone.

* AffablyEvil: Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen. He may be willing to sick the entire army of the living dead on Mr. Krabs, but really, all he really wants is his hat back. If Krabs had just given him the hat back, Smitty would've left him alone.

-->'''Mr. Krabs''': Oh no! I've seen this on the late show. You ghoulish fiends hold me down and take turns nibbling on my innards. Then you eat my brain and leave my body for the buzzards!\\

* CrazyPrepared: Because he's paranoid that Patrick's gonna run right through him, complete with [[InsaneTrollLogic predicting an aerial attack]], Squidward ends up building Fort Squidward to the point that it's three times taller than his own house.
