Trivia

• Unlike the original version, calling SpongeBob, "Bob," is a habitude.
• The different colored faces in the intro were used on the first SpongeBob promo.
• An English version of this intro was accidentally used on British airings on Episode 179 (Segments: "Extreme Spots" and "Squirrel Record").
• Goof: Before the HD intro, when Painty the Pirate says "oooooh...," the view can see what looks like a microphone at the top of the screen that's not supposed to be there.
