Reception
Trivia
General
- "My leg!": Fred screams this in the background while Plankton is looking for the secret formula in the evidence room.
- When this episode first aired, it was paired up with "Plankton Paranoia." This is due to how Nickelodeon pairs episodes with the previous one aired during a premiere week.[citation needed]
- The Tattletale Strangler from "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler" and Dennis from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie briefly appear on posters.
- SpongeBob also said "Is it hot in here?" in "No Free Rides."
- This is the second episode where a child character is arrested, the first was "Shuffleboarding."
- Patrick showed more fingers than in past episodes.
- This is the second episode where Mr. Krabs impersonates a police officer. The first is "Pat the Horse."
- Coincidentally, both are Template:Data:Links episodes.
- This episode marks the first usage of "Furtive Footsteps" since "The Clam Whisperer."
- This episode contains a few references from the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
- Dennis appears on a "WANTED" poster.
- Patrick acting drunk after eating too much ice cream at Goofy Goobers'.
- There is an innuendo where SpongeBob tells Helen the Felon "I'm going to shoot you a dirty look".
Errors
- Despite being a minor, Helen the Felon is sent to regular jail rather than juvenile hall. However, Bikini Bottom has never been shown to have a juvenile correctional facility before.
Running gags
- Patrick wanting ice cream.
