Trivia

General

• This episode was originally going to premiere at 5:00pm, but it was moved to 4:00pm.
• This episode's premiere, alongside the other three in its premiere week, will be simulcasted on Nicktoons. Due to Nicktoons' spacings of commercial breaks, the episode will effectively debut on that network first.
• This will be the first episode in the franchise to premiere on Thanksgiving in the United States.
• This episode's title is a portmanteau of Bubble Bass' surname and Squidward's first name.
• This episode is the first episode where SpongeBob SquarePants doesn't appear in any way, shape or form.
  • As a result of this, this is the first episode not to feature Tom Kenny.
  • This is also the second episode not to feature any sponge characters, following "Welcome to Binary Bottom".
  • Coincidentally, both episodes premiered in 2023, where "Welcome to Binary Bottom" premiered eleven months prior to "BassWard" in January 2023.
