Trivia

• Squidward's Spanish name, Calamardo, is based off calamari, a type of squid. The Spanish word for squid is also calamar.
• A voice-over will usually read out any text that is on screen.
• In the first few episodes, Sandy was called by her original English name.
• Most of the voice actors have also appeared in other Venezuelan-made Spanish dubs and in some Mexican dubs.
• Many characters have been recast several times due to pay disputes or actors leaving Venezuela due to the country's political climate.
  • The only characters with the same voice actor throughout the entire dub are Squidward, Patchy the Pirate, and the Flying Dutchman.
