Trivia

General

Simulcasting. By the time Nickelodeon had started the episode, Nicktoons had finished airing it.

• This episode's premiere, alongside the other three in its premiere week were simulcasted on Nicktoons. Due to Nicktoons' spacings of commercial breaks, this episode effectively debuted on that network first.
  • However, on the premiere day, the episode accidentally aired on Nicktoons 15 minutes early before the actual premiere time on the main Nickelodeon channel, paired with a regularly-scheduled rerun of "Single-Celled Defense."
    • In the United States, this marks the first time any SpongeBob-related media was accidentally fully premiered on Nicktoons before the intended premiere date and time on Nickelodeon.
      • This marks the second episode in 21 years to have an early premiere fully shown on Nicktoons before airing on Nickelodeon, since "Gary Takes a Bath."
  • On Nickelodeon, this episode was originally scheduled to premiere at 5:00 PM on the same day, but was later moved to 4:00 PM.
• On Nicktoons, this episode was allegedly supposed to premiere on November 2, 2023 at 9:15 PM EST, but "Sandy, Help Us!" aired instead.
• The title card is similar to those of "Jellyfish Hunter," "Krabs à la Mode," "Cephalopod Lodge," "Gullible Pants," "Model Sponge," "Bumper to Bumper," "Don't Look Now," "One Trick Sponge," and "Sandy, Help Us!"
• Mo and Craig Mammalton appear weightlifting together, referencing them both being Frigate cabin members in Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years.

Episode references

• Mr. Krabs' disguise is similar to the one he wears in "The Other Patty."
• SpongeBob's gym outfit is the same one he wears when exercising with Gary in "Gary's Got Legs."
