* AdvertisedExtra: The human versions of the cast were given prominent places in advertising. That said, the Trusty Slab segment they're in is a bit part in the grand scheme.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
That's cool but not what the trope is for. It's for when the episode itself hints that the events of the episode aren't fully resolved..


* TheEndOrIsIt: ''Potentially'' an option in the future, if Website/YouTube is anything to go by. On the comments of the Trusty Slab scene on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXF0spdWQQo official SpongeBob YouTube channel]] (before the channel was marked as "for kids"), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXF0spdWQQo&lc=UgxA1Y2E2JCzn5s6jtN4AaABAg.8xN9VT4txMZ8xT5TJJtBlo someone said]] if the live-action [=SpongeBob=] cast was made as a series on [=YouTube=] or Creator/{{Netflix}}, they'd never miss an episode. The team's response was to heart the comment and reply:
-->'''[=SpongeBob SquarePants=] Official:''' [[TeasingCreator Now you have us thinking...]]
