Continuity in Spongebob

Krabby Patty Burglar
I want to make a list. There are those things that always stay the same like Spongebob works at the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs is greedy, etc. I am not talking about those things. I am talking about references to other episodes or things that change the course of the series.

So here is a list of some continuity in Spongebob.

Help Wanted: Spongebob joins the Krusty Krab Crew
Tea at the Treedome: Spongebob meets Sandy.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle boy series: They remember Spongebob
Squilliam Returns: Squillem Returns. From Band Geeks.
Spongebob BC: In the rap part scenes from SB-129 are used.
The Lost Episode: Scenes from other episodes are used in the "Remembering Spongebob scenes".
Bubble Buddy Returns: Do I have to explain this?

I am excluding anything from the movies or video games because thats a talk for another day.


WHAT AM I MISSING???
 
I make my own continuity. It really works for me, for example i first watch Band Geeks then i watch Krabby Road then i think "Spongebob is really interested in bands since that day." :)

Glove World R.I.P., Roller Cowards, and Rock Bottom all have continuity with each other. If you can't figure it out, you need to go back to preschool. ;)

Plankton's hillbilly family from Plankton's Army shows up again in One Coarse Meal.
Uncle Sherm is mentioned in Krab Borg, Stanley S. Squarepants, and Pest of the West. I believe those are all of the episodes he's mentioned in.
Mr. and Mrs. Squarepants and Grandma.

I never noticed the last one in particular. Thanks for the contribution.
 
In Boating Buddies Squidward mentions he has impeccable boat smarts, obviously referencing "Boat Smarts".
In "It's A Spongebob Christmas", Spongebob remembers what Christmas is from "Christmas Who?".
In "Spongebob You're Fired", Spongebob is holding a mug that reads "Best Day Ever".
In "Restraining Spongebob", it shows that Squidward has one star on his employee performance chart. This may be a reference to "Breath of Fresh Squidward."
In "The Good Krabby Name", Patrick references "To Save A Squirrel" when he says, "I know what to do. It's eat or be eaten."
In "The Other Patty", Spongebob mentions that Mr. Krabs and Plankton use to be friends, referencing "Friend or Foe?"
 
Super Weenie Hut Jrs appears in Stuck in the Wringer
Back to the Past explains how Manray got frozen in tar.
The IJLSA appear in Bad guy club for villians
Chum is Fum shows up on a billboard in Spongebob's last stand.

If the only reason "All Squilliam episodes" falls on that list is because Squilliam's in them, then we could also add all Larry episodes, all Puff episodes, and so on.

Aside from Squilliam being in a number of episodes (seven), the only direct reference to another episode I can remember is in "Back to the Past", where SpongeBob comments that Squilliam must be doing his community service (During Squill's cameo, where he's putting up the billboard of ManRay), which seems a pretty clear ref to "Keep Bikini Bottom Beatiful", where Squilliam, Squidward, and SB all get tickets at the end, likely sentencing them all to community service.

Otherwise, there isn't any reference to other Squilliam episodes. (I also just realised that Squilliam's ONLY mentioned in episodes he's in.. Even when the character reminisc about their past - like Squidward's having to eat his lunch by the garbage cans - Squilliam's not mentioned or even seen in the background.

I do hear he's supposed to have a non-speaking cameo in "Tentacle Vision", but I can never spot him.
 
The employee of the month photos from the episode of the same name reappear in "The Original Fry Cook"
