I just thought it would be a good/interesting idea to list the many errors in SpongeBob episode continuation. Here you can just post one or more SpongeBob episodes and tell what happened in a later episode, or what doesn't make sense, or any episodes that don't make references to past episodes. If you want to, you can make a prediction that might explain why that continuity error.

For example, in "Your Shoe's Untied", SpongeBob says that his shoes were tied sense he was an egg. However, in the slightly earlier episode "Rock Bottom", he tied his shoe when he was waiting for the bus. Thus, the aforementioned
episodes took place before "Rock Bottom".

Seems simple, right? Now, let's get started! ;)

In "Friend or Foe?" Plankton is just a chubbier, tinier version of himself as a baby, but in a later episode "Goo Goo Gas," he is just a little cell.

In "Jellyfishing" Patrick shouts Merry Christmas, although nobody had heard of it until "Christmas Who?"

In "Bubblestand", SpongeBob blew a bubble of a butterfly, but didn't know what a butterfly was in "Wormy".

When Plankton is pretending to be SpongeBob's great grandma, he shows her a baby picture where he was basically a blob with one appendage, but we've seen other baby pictures which showed him as a "normal" baby (square shaped, all 4 appendages).

In "I Was a Teenage Gary", SpongeBob said he was left-handed. But, in the newer episodes "The Splinter" and "You Don't Know Sponge", he said he's ambidextrous.

And just to make things more confusing, in "Neptune's Spatula" he has two left hands.

In "Something Smells", Patrick says "What if my sister finds out? Oh wait, I don't have a sister" but in Big Sister Sam, it is shown that he does have a sister. It is possible that he forgot though, seeing as he isn't that smart and that they lost each other when they were little kids.

In Just One Bite, Squidward said he's NEVER had a Krabby Patty. But, in Your Shoe's Untied, SpongeBob accidentally flung tons of Krabby Patties into his mouth.

I think the writers may have had Something Smells in mind when they wrote BSS

There are many issues with watches, they disappear after a couple of seconds. It is possible that they all took them off, though. :xP:


In "Pet or Pests", Larry doesn't know who SpongeBob is. However, in "Ripped Pants", his first appearance, he already knows SpongeBob and his name.

One day I want to make a Spongebob Chronology...

"Spongebob Vs. the Big One" has SB not knowing how to surf. Yet in "Ripped Pants" and "Pranks a Lot," he is seen surfing.

In "Trench - Billies" SpongeBob says that he and Patrick do not like to wrestle. However, in "Krusty Krushers", an earlier episode, they enjoyed wrestling. The possibilities could've been that "Trench - Billies" took place before "Krusty Krushers", or it was because Ma Angler and Cletus didn't say anything about fake or pretend wrestling, like Mr. Krabs did. SpongeBob & Patrick like pretending! :)

SpongeBob doesn't know what a salad is in Bossy Boots but in Pickles...there is salad on the menu.

This is all assuming that SpongeBob has a continuity, which it doesn't.

Sometimes bicycles/unicycles/recumbents have paddle wheels:

And sometimes they seem to forget and just use regular wheels (it always bugs me when they do):
