Tonitrus, the dragon of undead is a crybaby. He hates Sponegbob crying while apologizing or crying when he is upset. So, Tonitrus killed Spongebob and buried him in his grave. Tonitrus began crying until he felt some comfort and he became happy and calm again. Spongebob will soon return.
The title card is identical to Pickles, but it's a bit zoomed-in more.
The rules of the no crying contest are, if Squidward wins and SpongeBob cries and screams, SpongeBob has to wash his bike, clean out his rain gutters, and do all of Squidward's tiresome yard work for one year. If SpongeBob doesn't cry, and Squidward loses, he has to attend a sleepover at SpongeBob's house (much to his disgust).
Squidward's line "I just threw up in my mouth a little," is a reference to the movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
On the radio, if you listen carefully, the announcer said the song was by Eely Dan. This is a obvious reference to the jazz rock band Steely Dan. Also the next song was by Lionel Fishy. This is also a reference to Lionel Richie.
The radio announcer also states that the songs name before "Sad Songs" was Aja , a song by Steely Dan on the album of the same name.
During the slideshow Squidward made of Spongebob's breakdowns over the years, Spongebob wore his Krusty Krab hat in all of the clips even though most weren't set at The Krusty Krab. File:Spongebob cray long time.png
The Bikini Bottom Men's Choir made another appearance in this episode.
On the Triton's Revenge DVD, this episode is on the DVD and it includes a deleted scene. It shows, after SpongeBob is "yelled at" by Squidward, Squidward tells SpongeBob "You know there's an old saying, SpongeBob". SpongeBob asks, "What is it?" Squidward answers, "Don't cry over a soiled Krabby Patty!, and now may I give you a little word of advice... SHUT UP!!!" SpongeBob starts crying more. Then, it cuts to the chalkboard scene.
When Squidward yells, "Krabby Patty nothing!" his left eye malfunctions slighty
When Squidward is making SpongeBob watch TV, it shows a show with a father and his son. The house shown looks like SpongeBob's Grandma's house. Oddly, SpongeBob doesn't even notice.
In all other episodes SpongeBob is yelled at for laughing too much.
This episode shows Gary sleeping downstairs; he always sleeps upstairs.
This is the second time Squidward's lying on SpongeBob's bed. The first time is in Can You Spare A Dime?.
This episode is similar to Funny Pants. The reason why is SpongeBob is also told to stop the progress of an emotional action in that episode. Also his floods of tears are much bigger in this episode than before.. And it floods all around Bikini Bottom in Patrick's House, The Krusty Krab, and in the streets.
The time when the sun sets is similar to the air dates.
When SpongeBob threw out the TV, it was larger than an average-sized window.

When Squidward shows SpongeBob the video montage on him crying, the tape is popped out. However, Squidward is still able to play the tape
When SpongeBob nearly cried over the snail almost not getting down from the tree, he blinked and a few tears shot out of his eye. This means that Squidward should have won the bet. However If you look closely Squidward's eyes looked away from SpongeBob the moment the tears came out, meaning he may not have seen it.
Drama Link O - "And finally, sad news for Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy fans. They will only be showing the Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy episodes 7 times a day, instead of 8 ..." (then SpongeBob changes the channel)
Drama Link F - SpongeBob throws the TV out the window.
