* HarsherInHindsight: While $25 for a single pie is certainly ludicrous by today's standards, at the time of the episode's release, $25 was the equivalent of $45 in current pricing, and $25 will end up being more reasonable for a pie as years go on due to the accelerating inflation rate.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The sunset scene is ''incredibly'' well-drawn, with the color palette being incredibly impressionist and [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward's shadows not only following their movement exactly, but also stretching out the further the sun goes down.

** The scene with [=SpongeBob=] with his face pressed against the window and a big smile looking at Squidward as he walks past became a template of showing obsession over something.

* AccidentalAesop: Unintentionally, the episode illustrates that you just can't force two people to be friends, especially if such hatred and animosity is ingrained in one of the people. By the end of the episode, Squidward reverts to his nasty self towards [=SpongeBob=] for making him do all those silly activities, showing just how deep-seated his hatred is for him.
* AssPull: While it was pretty obvious that [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt SpongeBob wasn't gonna die]], the way the ending was handled seems pretty rushed. [=SpongeBob=] blowing bubble bombs once the sun went down seems pretty contrived in its timing, but more importantly is the twist of [=SpongeBob=] still having the pie (which he ''[[StealthPun literally]]'' pulls [[{{Hammerspace}} out of his ass]]). This throws a lot of things into question. What the heck did [=SpongeBob=] eat between him finding the pie and Squidward and Mr. Krabs rushing back to the office, why did he thank Squidward for the pie [[SkewedPriorities after eating whatever the other thing was]], and why did smoke rise out of his mouth when something hit his lower intestine, not to mention not recognizing the scent?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Squidward really trying to give [=SpongeBob=] a great last day on Earth for him or to clear his conscience? On one hand, near the beginning he was genuinely tearful at the idea of [=SpongeBob=] suddenly blowing up and tears when he is reminded again point to the former. On the other hand, his line about saying he is such a good person for doing it and anger that he wasted his day (rather than being grateful [=SpongeBob=] is alive) points toward the latter. [[TakeAThirdOption Alternatively]], Squidward started genuinely sorry, but the continued ridiculousness and dismemberment lead to his hate subtly growing back.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: There’s no denying that [=SpongeBob=] is a massive IdiotHoudini in this, bordering on LethallyStupid, as he’s completely fooled by Plankton’s PaperThinDisguise and lack of trying at hiding its various robotic installments (like laser vision), ends up favoring the fake Krabs over the real one, and nearly gets the latter EatenAlive, only to end the episode with a slap on the wrist. But the humor is so fast-paced, witty, and quotable that it’s easy to look past the main character's stupidity, plus it has its fair share of SelfDeprecation about the premise’s own absurdity. Many later episodes (after the first movie) would have [=SpongeBob=] acting just as oblivious to reality, if not more so, [[SeasonalRot but the humor would often not be up to snuff, nor would they have much self-awareness]], making RefugeInAudacity much harder for viewers.
