SpongeBob gives Gary a pair of his own legs, and later arms, swapping roles between them.
"Gary's Got Legs" contains examples of:
- Acquired Situational Narcissism: Gary briefly gets this when he gets a set of legs, using them to beat up the other pets in the park and not wanting to give up his arms and legs to Mr. Krabs. He's back to normal by the end though.
- An Aesop: A rather obvious one that's common knowledge, but there are limitations on what pets can do, so don't try to make them do things they can't do.
- Bait-and-Switch: When SpongeBob decides that Gary could use some legs, it cuts to him making something out of wood and finishes while declaring, "There! A perfect set of legs." It then zooms out to show that SpongeBob had actually built a set of legs for a table.
- Continuity Nod:
- This is not the first time SpongeBob turned into a snail.
- Nor was it the first time Mr. Krabs used a krabby patty to bring SpongeBob to his senses.
- Easily Forgiven:
- SpongeBob apologizes to Mr. Krabs for all of the trouble, where Mr. Krabs responds "it's okay boy-yo."
- SpongeBob also apologizes to Patrick about not returning his giant hat, which Patrick also accepts.
- Lazy Bum: SpongeBob becomes one as a result of being waited on hand and foot by Gary.
- Literal Metaphor: Mr. Krabs says it's time to "cut this nonsense," which involves literally cutting Gary's arms and legs off with his claws.
- Noodle Incident: After apologizing to Gary for trying to change him, SpongeBob apologizes to Patrick for not returning his hat. It then shows SpongeBob wearing a large top hat with a train going around the rim.
- Shown Their Work: When SpongeBob takes off his legs, new ones grow back; sea sponges can grow back parts that come off.
- Squashed Flat: Happens to SpongeBob when he is run over by Gary's tank multiple times.
- Swapped Roles: After Gary gets a set of arms and legs, SpongeBob becomes more like a snail, making him the pet and Gary the owner.

When SpongeBob leaves his sea chimps aquarium in Karen's care, Plankton sees it as the perfect opportunity to give his world leadership skills a test drive, shrinking himself down and becoming a demanding king to the chimps.
"King Plankton" contains examples of:
- Banana Peel: Plankton repeatedly slips on these since they are lying around on the ground.
- False Teeth Tomfoolery: Plankton steals an old sea chimp's false teeth and wears them briefly until he drops them after slipping on a banana peel.
- Foreshadowing:
- SpongeBob's reason for leaving his sea chimps with Karen is because he spotted saliva on the aquarium, which he suspects is Gary trying to eat them. The culprit later turns out to be Patrick.
- The sea chimp king is all too happy to give up his crown to Plankton, which we later discover is because the king is always sacrificed to be eaten by Patrick.
- Human Sacrifice: The sea chimps try to sacrifice Plankton to Patrick, with the old king thanking Plankton since it will no longer be him who will be sacrificed.
- Instant Sedation: Plankton is hit with a tranquilizer dart that almost instantly knocks him out.
- Incredible Shrinking Man: Plankton creates a belt that allows him to shrink to the size of the sea chimps in the aquarium.
- Monkey Morality Pose: Three sea chimps pose like this when Plankton scares them.
- Parasol Parachute: SpongeBob rides the winds with a parasol to get to work.
- Rube Goldberg Device: Plankton tries using one to steal the formula, which Mr. Krabs calls a "Rube Goldfish Device".
- Running Gag: Plankton slipping on a banana peel, and then ordering the other sea chimps to fall down as well.
- Sea Aping: The sea chimps are depicted as actual chimps and are actually shown to have a civilization in the fish tank that SpongeBob keeps them in.
- Shout-Out: The sacrifice scene is one to King Kong (1933).
- Swallowed Whole: This happens to Plankton and the sea chimps by Patrick, until one of the chimps pushes the growth button on Plankton's belt.
