Sandy's Rocket: Sandy shows Spongebob her rocket, who wants to go to the moon with her, but she refuses. Patrick and Spongebob go to the rocket while Sandy is sleeping and break in. There, the two accidentally launch into space and around the moon. When returning, they think they are on the moon, and start to kidnap the residents of Bikini Bottom, mistaking them for aliens

!!Sandy's Rocket provides examples of:

* AbnormalAmmo: Sandy's collecting guns, which shoot nets to capture samples. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick use it to trap "aliens".
* AccidentalMurder: Implied to be the case with the "whirlybird" incident.
* AnAesop: Don't mess around with other people's stuff.
* BlackComedy: [=SpongeBob=] apparently has killed a lot of people during the "mishap with [Sandy's] whirlybird", judging on the size of the graveyard she shows him.
* BoomerangBigot: Patrick, when he believes he's an alien.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "So you mean to say they've taken what we thought we think and make us think we thought our thoughts we've been thinking our thoughts we think we thought? I think..."
* TheDitz: Patrick. He holds the gun backwards, causing him to trap himself instead of Spongebob.
* DramaticIrony: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick were unaware they were only looping around the moon and landed right back in Bikini Bottom.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E3TheBullyJustOneBite Flatts]] appears amongst the people kidnapped by Spongebob and Patrick.
* EldritchAbomination: What [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick see everyone in Bikini Bottom after they crashland the ship.
* {{Feelies}}: This episode and Squeaky Boots had specific scratch and sniff stickers released by Burger King to promote ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie''. The smells involved included the scenes where Patrick gets toothpaste in [=SpongeBob's=] peanut butter and when [=SpongeBob=] pulls out Squidward's hot water bottle. Ironically, the symbol used to signify when to scratch and sniff was accidentally left in the episode until 2002, three years after the stickers were discontinued.
* MediumBlending: The footage of the rocket blasting off and Sandy blasting off are the first occurrences of the animated characters interacting with the live-action island footage.
* MistakenForAliens: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick think their friends are aliens and start capturing them. In the end, each thinks the other is an alien as well.
* NoEnding: The episode ends with [=SpongeBob=] stranded on the moon with his friends netted and the rocket out of fuel, leaving no explanation of how everyone managed to return to Bikini Bottom
** The German radio drama fixes this, by having [=SpongeBob=] apologize to everyone.
** The graphic novel based on this episode reveals [[spoiler: Sandy shoots [=SpongeBob=] in a net as punishment before flying the rocket back to Bikini Bottom (she had spare fuel).]]
* NoodleIncident: According to Sandy, she reminds [=SpongeBob=] of his little mishap with her whirlybird, [[BlackComedyBurst resulting a large graveyard of dead animals.]]
* PlatonicCave: [=SpongeBob=] thinks this is why the moon looks just like Bikini Bottom. "The aliens must be projecting our thoughts into the environment."
* ShoutOut: Spongebob saying "Hey, you got toothpaste in my peanut butter" is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJLDF6qZUX0 the original Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercial]].
* TalkingInYourSleep: When [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick go into Squidward's room, Squidward mumbles incomprehensibly in his sleep and the only word we can understand is "Grandma".
* TheyLookLikeUsNow: What [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick assume when they see all their friends on what they think is the moon.
* VocalDissonance: [=SpongeBob=] gets a deep voice when he says "Put me in the brig, I don't mind!"
* WhatHappenedToThePet: Mr. Krabs is seen walking a pet worm, which makes a second appearance in "As Seen on TV" but then never appears again in the course of the series.
* WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque: The rocket actually missed the moon and landed back on Bikini Bottom, but [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick don't know that.

Squeaky Boots: After getting Pearl the wrong gift for her birthday, Mr. Krabs gives Spongebob a pair of boots, which Spongebob adores. He doesn't take them off, and it results in Mr. Krabs stealing them back and hiding them from Spongebob. Spongebob finds out, and Mr. Krabs is left with a tough decision.

!!Squeaky Boots provides examples of:
* AnAesop: If someone is annoying you, even if they're a friend, ask them to stop.
* AxCrazy: Mr. Krabs after Spongebob's boots are hidden under the floorboards of the Krusty Krab, and he keeps hearing the squeaking sounds everywhere he looks.
* BreakTheCutie: [=SpongeBob=] is in tears when he finds that his boots had gone missing, due to Mr. Krabs secretly stealing them from him.
* CarnivoreConfusion: One of Pearl's friends, Sheila, is an anthropomorphic squid, which sperm whales like her are known to eat.
* CountingSheep: Krabs counts money jumping into his cash register to try to get some sleep.
* DerangedAnimation: Taken UpToEleven during Krabs' SanitySlippage; his facial expressions go all over the place but are consistently ''terrifying''.
* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: Gary also becomes annoyed by the squeaking from [=SpongeBob=]'s boots, retreating into his shell and coming out with earplugs.
* {{Feelies}}: As mentioned above, this episode and Sandy's Rocket included scratch and sniff cards for specific scenes. This episode only had one sticker, which was used when Mr. Krabs dips the boots in fryer oil, shrinking them.
* HiccupHijinks: At the end of the episode, Mr. Krabs gets the hiccups, which sound like the boots' squeak because he ate them, much to his disdain.
* JerkToNiceGuyPlot: Mr. Krabs tried shortchanging both Pearl and then [=SpongeBob=] by only getting a pair of $2 squeaky boots for Pearl for her birthday and then manipulating [=SpongeBob=] into paying off the shoes. But then the shoes are too squeaky, so he decides to get rid of them and in the process he redeems himself:
** 1. He pays [=SpongeBob=] the wages he earned (he at first added a bonus, but retracted).
** 2. He buys Pearl the glossy shoes she always wanted to match her friends' shoes.
* MyNewGiftIsLame: Pearl is heartbroken over Mr. Krabs buying her only a pair of squeaky sailor boots (for only $2) that she bawls and outright rejects the boots, leaving Mr. Krabs to wonder what to do with them.
* SanitySlippage: The squeaking of [=SpongeBob=]'s boots causes this to Mr. Krabs, to the point he keeps hearing them even after he hides them under the Krusty Krab's floorboards. Eventually, he resorts to taking the boots out, dunking them in deep-frying oil so they shrivel up, and eating them.
* ShoutOut: Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's "Literature/TheTellTaleHeart".
* TerribleTicking: "It's the squeaking of the hideous boots!"
