1. That time SpongeBob told Patrick his “genius” was showing, and Patrick immediately covered his crotch in embarrassment.
2. When this random fish named Scooter mistook SpongeBob’s pet seahorse Mystery for a kiddie ride and inserted a coin into some ~coin slot~ offscreen.
3. That time Sandy fought a French fish named “the Tickler" — a reference to a type of condom called a French Tickler.
4. When SpongeBob asked his classmate how to organize his pencils, and his classmate basically told him to shove it.
5. That time SpongeBob gave Patrick a cake that literally said "Sorry About the Scabies."
6. When Squidward felt guilty that SpongeBob gave him a Christmas present after he had refused to write a letter to Santa.
