Trivia

• Unlike the original version, calling SpongeBob "Bob'" is a habitude.
• The different colored faces in the intro were used in the first SpongeBob promo.
• An English version of this intro was accidentally used on British airings on Episode 179 (Segments: "Extreme Spots" and "Squirrel Record")Template:Cite.
• In Belgium, Nickelodeon Wallonia airs the HD episodes in 576i since the channel isn't available in HD.
• In Nickelodeon France's feed, the Nicktoons logo is intact (in the earlier seasons.)
• In the earlier seasons, the background characters had different voices throughout the episodes.

Errors

• Before the HD intro, when Painty the Pirate says "Oooooh...," the viewer can see what looks like a microphone at the top of the screen that is not supposed to be there.
• In some Belgian airings, the intro's lyrics are out of sync with the instrumentals.
• In "Truth or Square," at the end of the theme song, the screen is frozen in the middle of SpongeBob dancing, just to show the logo.
• In the HD intro, before SpongeBob plays his nose flute, his irises are transparent.
