** [=SpongeBob=] spends the whole episode being called an animal abuser for something harmless and afraid he'll be a pariah if he admits the truth.

** The seagulls. Granted, one might assume that they were feral and relying on instinct, but the fact that they could talk at the end implies that they were attacking [=SpongeBob=] and the gang out of complete malicious intent. The menacing AsideGlance that the first one gives to the camera after [=SpongeBob=] introduces everyone (if one doesn’t find it more a humorous “seriously?” look) and the four's abject terror when being attacked by them only makes them seem even more frightening.

* HilariousInHindsight: The scene where [=SpongeBob=] reproduces by budding becomes this when Stephen Hillenburg confirmed he is asexual.

** Sandy removing her suit and helmet just to prove she can survive underwater, until she realizes she's thousands of feet below the surface with no oxygen. When she begins to suffocate, we are treated to the image of her lungs ''shriveling up into nothingness'', and she narrowly avoids drowning by sticking a pickle jar over her head. Her growing panic in that moment is very unsettling. The fact that her friends laugh at the fact that she could've died does not help alleviate things at all.

* HarsherInHindsight: "The Smoking Peanut" stars a giant oyster named Clamu who is kept in captivity and trained to do tricks, like Shamu and the orcas at Ride/SeaWorld. The plot in which Clamu goes on an angry rampage attacking others isn't really funny after that incident in which the [=SeaWorld=] orca named Tilikum killed his trainer and the controversy that prompted afterwards about the ethics of orcas in captivity.
* MemeticMutation: The "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ight-imma-head-out Ight Imma Head Out]]" meme started here. But while the image shows [=SpongeBob=] getting out of the chair, the episode shows that [=SpongeBob=] is actually sitting down to watch TV.
