Trivia
- The treasure chests from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game were similar to Patrick's socks as both are collectables scattered throughout the level.
- However, the differences are that treasure chests contain unlockable material in the game and cannot be returned in exchange for an award unlike Patrick's socks.
- Patrick wears patty socks in "The Battle of Bikini Bottom."
- For unknown reasons, an extra sock is located in the Cinema's walls on Bikini Bottom's main map in the Rehydrated version of the game. It is possible to access it using a glitch where the player can move around and through walls while Hans picks them up. The player needs to use the Cruise Bubble while out of bounds and Hans will pick them up, but they can continue to move and glitch into buildings. This glitch cannot be done on PC or mobile and can only be done on earlier versions of PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Grabbing the extra sock causes the player to get 9/8 socks in Bikini Bottom.
