Trivia

General

• This is the second and final stand-alone special to air in 2024, following "SpongeBob's Super Bowl Party."
• This episode was originally titled "Beneath the Bun: Krabby Patty Secrets."
• One of the Krabby Patty varieties shown is the Rainbowger from "Plankton's Color Nullifier." This makes it the only short to have clips used in a stand-alone special.
• While showing a clip from "Krabby Patty Creature Feature," Perch acknowledges that he was purple in said episode, referencing his inconsistent color palette throughout the series.
• This special has the same animation style as the Bikini Bottom Inquirer web series.
• Perch refers to the patties that normal SpongeBob makes in "Not Normal" as Paper Patties. This was a fan name that has been used on Encyclopedia SpongeBobia without a source since 2014, although the notifier that the name is unofficial was falsely removed in March 2023.
• "My leg!": Heard after Perch throws away the gross Krabby Patty that Mr. Krabs made.

Episode references

• Perch asks for a Diet Dr. Kelp, like the customer in "Pizza Delivery."
