Almost nothing in this long article is sourced. It makes several claims about scenes that were cut from production without sourcing them at all. There are too many of these to list. There are also several unsourced claims of scenes being removed in countries outside the U.S, but there is again too many to list. There are also unsourced claims about scenes being in original airings but later cut. Here is a list of those, because I am curious to know if these are actually real. Does anyone have copies of the original airings of these episodes?
Help Wanted: There was another opening on the first airing, but it was replaced with the famous theme song since July 24th, 1999.
Hooky: The original airing apparently had a dead fish whose shoes are seen being strung up. This was removed either due to time or death, and replaced with a scene where only the dead fish's shoes are seen.
Big Pink Loser: The episode's title card music was abusively low-pitched in the original airing, but it was changed to a high pitch version presumably since the original may scare children. To be fair a video of the claimed original music was sourced (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLOkulvIUvs) but there is no evidence it is real, and the music is not "scary" in the slightest.
Bubble Buddy: The original airing had a few seconds of "Big Pink Loser" before cutting to Patrick's rock. This was cut in reruns to avoid duplicating.
Wormy: There was a scene in the original airing when SpongeBob was eating pie. This was cut for unknown reasons, though it was cut for time.
Life of Crime: The original airing had SpongeBob saying "No more getting nailed," followed by Patrick hammering a nail into his head. SpongeBob's line was changed to "No more getting mail." The original line was changed due to sexual references. Also the following scene where Patrick hammered a nail to his head is replaced with a scene showing him sucking his thumb.
Dumped: In early airings, the bus had jellyfishers in it.
The Secret Box: Some people recall seeing a picture of SpongeBob with a lampshade over his head or in his underwear while Patrick is revealing the embarrassing photo of SpongeBob at the Christmas party during the original airing and initial repeats.
The Fry Cook Games: In the original airing, the episode ended with SpongeBob and Patrick exiting the stadium holding hands. This scene was re-animated to them holding shoulders to avoid controversy. This was only edited in certain countries. Also, in some airings, the title card does not appear.
The Bully: The original airing had SpongeBob and Patrick playing leap frog while Flatts is beating him up. It was replaced with a scene of SpongeBob cooking Krabby Patties for unknown reasons, thought it was probably to save time or that it would've been impossible for Flatts to beat up Spongebob while playing leapfrog as it would have been a hazard for him.
One Krabs Trash: The original airing had SpongeBob saying, "You'll never guess what I found in my pants last night," but "pants" was changed to "sock," because it sounded like SpongeBob was referring to his genitalia.
Chocolate with Nuts: The original airing had a scene with Patrick saying "I wish my nuts were chocolate" and pulling out a bag of peanuts (which resembled that of the Planter's brand). It was cut due to genitalia references.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V: The original airing had a plane shown exploding. It was possibly deleted due to the events of 9/11 or due to an intense level of violence.
Clams: The original airing had SpongeBob saying "Actually, it's Coral Blue Lipstick number 4" before getting hit by Squidward. The later airings changed to him saying it is Coral Blue Number 3 before Squidward cut him off, for unknown reasons. Also, when the music started, the band was shown before Mr. Krabs began dancing. Another scene that was cut was when Mr. Krabs called his deceased parents (who are strangely still able to communicate with him) to tell about his millionth dollar. All these scenes were cut in reruns, but still appears in the storyboard.
The Sponge Who Could Fly: SpongeBob being covered in black paint was cut after at least one airing due to implied racism.
Whale of a Birthday: In recent airings, Mr. Krabs' line, "Don't push your luck, boy," was cut, to save time for commercials. The episode is still aired intact on Nicktoons.
Karate Island: The original airing had a small amount of blood on Master Udon's face after being beat up by Sandy. This was removed due to being deemed too violent. The dedication card at the end of the episode was also removed after the Best Day Ever marathon to make room for more commercials. The dedication card could also have been removed due to Pat Morita's death being long past.
Wishing You Well: The original airing had a few minutes of "All That Glitters" at the beginning and it ended with SpongeBob at the therapist's office before it led to him saying "You can't rush perfection." This was removed from reruns to prevent duplication from "All That Glitters."
Friend or Foe: In the original airing, after SpongeBob squirts Plankton with ketchup and mustard, he said "Curses!" This was edited out in reruns.
Night Light: The original airing had Patrick saying "SpongeBob, can I sleep with you again tonight?" This was changed to "Sleepover!" in later airings due to intercourse references.
What Ever Happened to Spongebob: Before Patrick called SpongeBob an idiot boy, he said he had to make a second cake for his mother. This was cut from reruns.
After SpongeBob destroyed Sandy's robot, Sandy showed SpongeBob the robot's broken head and told him to get out of her house. This is cut in the newer airing (though the line "Get out!" wasn't cut).
When SpongeBob is moving away, oysters can be heard yelling. This is cut in the newer airing of this episode.
Spongebob Squarepants vs. The Big One: The original airing had some hard-to-get music used for Jack's surfboard while coming out of the hut. This was cut for unknown reasons.
Gullible Pants: The original airing had SpongeBob dancing longer. This was cut to save time in the episode
A Day Without Tears: The original airing had SpongeBob being "yelled at" by Squidward; Squidward tells SpongeBob "You know there's an old saying, SpongeBob." SpongeBob asks, "What is it?" Squidward answers, "Don't cry over a soiled Krabby Patty. And now may I give you a little word of advice... shut up!" SpongeBob starts crying more. Then, it cuts to the chalkboard scene. This was cut for Squidward's rudeness.
New Fish in Town: The original airing had SpongeBob clapping his hands after Patrick hits the sign and breaks it. This was cut for unknown reasons.
