* During their first outing as parents, they pass a fish couple pushing a baby carriage. As the parents take in the sight of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick and the scallop, a thought bubble appears over their heads with the rebus "(Sponge) + (Starfish) = (Scallop)?", causing them to make disgusted faces.

* Realistic Fish Head reports the new evil organization as "committing a series of crimes throughout Bikini Bottom"... it cuts immediately to Man Ray, Dirty Bubble and Barnacle-Man [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking running up to an old person's home and]] [[DingDongDitchDistraction ringing the bell before running off while laughing like rambunctious children!]] It's as childish as it is absolutely hilarious.

* Squidward's prehistoric ancestor Squog tries to choose between two identical clubs before heading out. As soon as he picks one, the one he leaves at home actually sheds a tear and sobs!
* Patrick's prehistoric ancestor Patar discovers Squog covered in the slime left by [=SpongeGar=]'s pet snail. He exclaims in disgust at the sight and continues exclaiming in disgust after sniffing the slime and eating it. After trying the slime again with salt added, he cheerfully declares "Mawanga" and is yelled at by Squog, whose shouting flings the slime off his body. Patar is delighted to see that it was Squog underneath the slime and proceeds to give him a big crushing hug, much to Squog's dismay.

* The montage of Mr. Krabs joining in the activities of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick. First they go to a laundromat (called "The Wash!") to [[IncrediblyLameFun watch the clothes being washed]], then they pick up trash, then they sit in a kiddie pool (where all Mr. Krabs "feels" is [[PuttingThePeeInPool a warm spot]]), then they ride on kiddie rides, then they get teeth pulled, redo a roof, play ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' (with [=SpongeBob=] asking, "Art thou feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?"), then they go to a library, then finally they go to a kiddie place where kids dance around Mr. Krabs like a maypole.

* When the Krusty Krab goes weeks without a customer due to him trying to sell off the old patty, Mr. Krabs believes it's because he got new placemats. Despite [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward's objections, he insists that the patty is still good and asks that [=SpongeBob=] present it to him, which he does while it's in a cage because it developed sentience and growled at him.
* When Mr. Krabs prepares to take a bite out of the old patty, it appears to be followed by an AmbulanceCut right before he bit down, but then it turns out the ambulance just happened to be driving by outside. As soon as Mr. Krabs takes a bite, it {{Smash Cut}}s to him being taken into the ER, and while being wheeled in he tells [=SpongeBob=] to wrap up the patty [[TooDumbToLive because he]] ''[[TooDumbToLive still]]'' [[TooDumbToLive thinks it's worth eating]].
* After the operation (which [[DeadAllAlong Mr. Krabs]] is [[FridgeHorror implied to have not survived]] from the doctor's horrified reaction to his chart), the [[GhostPirate Flying Dutchman]] appears in Mr. Krabs' room to [[{{Psychopomp}} take him to]] [[DraggedOffToHell Davy Jones' Locker]]. Mr. Krabs fools him into thinking that his name is Harold [[LineOfSightName Flower]]. The Dutchman immediately drops his theatrics and politely apologizes for getting the wrong room, which [[FridgeBrilliance implies]] that this has [[NoodleIncident happened before]].
