Template:List A complete list of deleted or edited scenes from SpongeBob SquarePants episodes. A deleted scene is any scene that has been cut out of either an episode from the storyboard version or has been cut out from the episode in airing after the original airing.

 Season 1

  • Help Wanted - Originally, SpongeBob was so excited about his new job that he can never take his hat off.
  • Reef Blower - This episode was originally intended to have dialogue, but due to the sound equipment being damaged, it was rewritten to be completely silent.
  • Tea at the Treedome - According to the book, when SpongeBob tells Patrick that Sandy has a hat full of air, Patrick asks "A hat full of hair?" Then later, SpongeBob and Patrick went to Squidward's front yard and SpongeBob takes some flowers for Sandy from it, then Squidward opens the window and yells at SpongeBob.
  • Ripped Pants - In some overseas airings of this episode, the episode ends when the concert is just beginning. These were moved because kids and younger viewers would be depressed about Spongebob pretending to drown.
  • Jellyfishing - In one of the Polish airings, the scene where Patrick jams the net through Squidward's bandaged hand was cut for unknown reasons.
  • Plankton! - According to the Season 1 DVD commentary, a scene involving Squidward nude was cut.
  • Naughty Nautical Neighbors - In one of the Polish airings, the scene where Squidward chokes on the fork was cut. Also, in the chapter book, there a part where SpongeBob went to his closet finding what to wear before going to Squidward's house. This was never aired on TV. But the closet scene was shown in the book version of the episode.
  • Boating School - Originally, SpongeBob would not say anything about cheating and reach the finish line. Mrs. Puff greets SpongeBob, he gets his driver's license and the episode ends happily. This was changed to him breaking down and failing, this was probably cut, more likely to add comedy.
  • Pizza Delivery - At the end of the episode, Squidward's line "Oh, my aching tentacles!" was cut in some countries, including Canada, and eventually the US. It is uncut in the UK airing and still intact on the Season 1 DVD. In 2013 it was deleted from Polish airings. Though the removal in the U.S. was successful, it eventually returned to the episode.
  • Pickles - According to the Mermaidmanathon, the whole episode was replaced with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II.
  • Hall Monitor - In the chapter book, there was a deleted scene where a bus driver yells "Barnacle Brain!" This never aired on television. 
  • Jellyfish Jam  - In one of the Polish airings, the scene where SpongeBob and the jellyfish dance was cut, In 2012 this episode aired 1/11/12 with the title card and it's normal episode speed. However, according to an error in the changing process of Nickelodeon's new end credits, the title card accidentally had gotten removed, and the episode goes a bit faster than it's usual speed if you haven't noticed. But for once it aired July, 2014 at unknown date, and the title card was shown, but now the title card is gone again since it last aired.
  • Sandy's Rocket - According to the book, there was a scene at the end of the episode with Sandy capturing SpongeBob as a punishment before she flies the rocket back to Bikini Bottom. That ending would be impossible in the actual episode because the rocket ran out of fuel when SpongeBob flew the rocket back up to space a second time which caused it to crash onto the moon. Also, there were two other scenes involving SpongeBob and Patrick capturing Plankton stealing a Krabby Patty and Pearl at the mall. These scenes were made, but never aired on TV.
  • Nature Pants - The original airing had SpongeBob acting like a Tarzan. This scene was cut from reruns due to nudity.
  • Opposite Day - In the Indonesian version, SpongeBob and Patrick ask the riddle "Why did the chicken cross the road?" normally, as opposed to saying it backwards in the original episode. Also, the scene where Spongebob and Patrick are speaking backwards, it can be easily found on YouTube and the Internet.
  • Culture Shock - On the Season 1, Volume 2 DVD, K-55 was replaced by Aspiracion for unknown reasons.
  • MuscleBob BuffPants - There is a rumored deleted scene that seems to have evolved into Welcome to the Chum Bucket. Sandy says "You really should put those muscles to the test". SpongeBob says "I don't feel like doing it." Sandy says "Come on, it'll be fun!" SpongeBob refuses again. Sandy, now angered, says "You will enter that competition and you are going to like it!" SpongeBob mocks her like he did Plankton. Sandy then says "We won't be friends anymore!" SpongeBob says "I'd rather lose a friend than break an arm." Sandy, like the end of the original episode, realizes that means he's faking it and taps her foot and beckons him to her treedome, where it cuts to SpongeBob clicking the remote.
  • Employee of The Month - There was a scene when SpongeBob thinks "Do you know what that means?" followed by Squidward thinking "Why?" It was cut.
  • Scaredy Pants - The part where Patrick shaves off parts of SpongeBob's head to reveal his brain was cut from the UK broadcast due to being possibly scary to younger children.
  • I Was a Teenage Gary - The original airing actually showed Squidward transforming into a snail. It was cut from reruns for being too gruesome. It is still uncut in Polish airings (lector version only, dubbing version is cut). Even if you look on YouTube or the Internet, it will be impossible to find this scene. The only way to find it is in Poland or a Polish network in any country.
  • SB-129 - The Serbian name of this episode is called "SB-192" for unknown reasons. Also, this episode was temporarily removed from rotation in the US in the early 2000s, along with "Karate Choppers" for unknown reasons.
  • Karate Choppers - According to the Season 1 DVD commentary, a scene with Sandy karate chopping a male fish in the groin was cut for being inappropriate.
    • It may have also been deleted because fish don't have outer groins.
    • This episode was temporarily removed from rotation in the United States along with the episode "SB-129" during a certain point in time in the early 2000s for unknown reasons.
  • Sleepy Time - The scene where SpongeBob licks his plate in his dream has been cut in some countries for unknown reasons.
  • Suds - In Bahasa Indonesia, all the live-action parts are cut. Also, the scene where Patrick is with SpongeBob on a torture bed was cut from reruns in some countries since it looked like Patrick was torturing SpongeBob, though it is kept in US airings.
  • Valentine's Day - In the Dutch broadcast, the man who asks Patrick the time gets an answer (3:15) instead of Patrick yelling, "PATRICK NEEDS LOVE TOO!". Reportedly, there's also a deleted scene of SpongeBob and Sandy kissing.
  • The Paper - A scene where Squidward tries to take the paper from SpongeBob's hand and SpongeBob says, "You told me no matter how much you begged or pleaded or cried, not to give you this piece of paper ever." then Squidward says, "I never said that!". SpongeBob replies "Sure you did, Squidward!" and then he uses the paper as a flip book with the sound of Squidward saying that earlier on in the episode. Afterwards, SpongeBob says "Wanna see it again?" and Squidward replies "No, I don't wanna see it again!" This was later cut from reruns in certain countries for unknown reasons.
  • Arrgh! - Right after SpongeBob says, "Hey! Mr. Krabs is getting all sweaty again!", there is a deleted scene that shows a vision of Mr. Krabs sitting atop and sniffing a pile of treasure. [1]
  • Texas - In some countries, the scene where SpongeBob tells Patrick his "genius is showing" was removed because of it sounding like "your p*n*s is showing". Though, the episode is completely intact in US and UK airings.
  • Fools in April - There was a scene when Squidward spoke to Sandy first before he spoke to Patrick. This scene was removed, possibly due to it taking too much time.
  • Hooky - The original airing apparently had a dead fish whose shoes are seen being strung up. This was removed either due to time or death, and replaced with a scene where only the dead fish's shoes are seen. There is also a scene where Patrick is seen with lots of hooks in his mouth and says "Does this look dangerous?".

Season 2

  • Your Shoe's Untied - In some countries, the scene involving SpongeBob watching Coral TV was removed for looking like he is watching something inappropriate. It is still left intact in the US.
  • Something Smells - Due to an error, some lines were messed up in the Season 2 DVD of SpongeBob SquarePants. It had SpongeBob saying "I just don't get it" to the building instead of "Hi building" and Patrick says "I don't either." Also, a DVD commentary said Squidward had a deleted line at the end of the episode. He said, "Ugly and smell, two for one." This also happens on the VHS of Nautical Nonsense and the DVD of Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies.
  • Bossy Boots - This episode was originally going to be called "Working Pearl" but was changed to "Bossy Boots" for unknown reasons.
  • Big Pink Loser - The title card music was low-pitched abusively. 
  • Bubble Buddy - The original airing had a few seconds of "Big Pink Loser" before cutting to Patrick's rock. This was cut in reruns to avoid duplicating.
  • Dying for Pie - There is an alternate version of this episode where a baking contest was going to happen at the Krusty Krab and Mr. Krabs wanted SpongeBob and Squidward to cook something, and Squidward puts a bomb in his pie instead of sugar. This was changed to 'homemade gift exchanging' for unknown reasons.
  • Imitation Krabs - In the Bahasa Indonesia version, the narrator says "2 1/2 Hours Later." instead of "6 1/2 Hours Later."
  • Wormy - The original airing had SpongeBob eating pie. Also, this episode was banned in some countries due to the sudden live-action buzzing horsefly close-ups being frightening to the young audience.
  • Patty Hype - The first customer's patty was originally blue, not purple.
  • Prehibernation Week - According to the Season 2 DVD commentary, when Sandy was raking the leaves, she made a big symbol for "Girl Power", but it got changed to "Texas". She also originally did a whole dance routine when stepping on the leaves, but that had to be cut for time. There was also an alternate ending. Instead of SpongeBob laughing when realizing Sandy began her hibernation, originally he was going to say "WHY I OUGHTA!"
  • Life of Crime - The original airing had SpongeBob saying "No more getting nailed", followed by Patrick hammering a nail into his head. SpongeBob's line was changed to "No more getting mail". The original line was changed due to sex references. Also the following scene where Patrick hammered a nail to his head is replaced with a scene showing him sucking his thumb.
  • Christmas Who? - On the Season 2 DVD, Patchy's line at the beginning of the second half of the show, "It's about time you got back! Now I can finish me story," is cut due to there being no commercials on the DVD. Three more scenes (or lines) were deleted as well.
    • Squidward (as Santa) gave the first girl a Squidward antique instead of a wrench.
    • While waiting in line for Santa (as Squidward), Mr. Krabs had a deleted line in this episode. He said "And don't forget about me pony!" This was cut for unknown reasons.
    • After Santa Squidward gives the first girl the gift, SpongeBob says "I told ya he was real!" enthusiastically.
  • Survival of the Idiots - According to the audio commentary, the original title was going to be "Survival of the Morons". It was changed to "Survival of the Idiots" for unknown reasons. Also according to the storyboard, Sandy's bed was hanging from the ceiling, and there was much more saliva. If her bed was hanging from the ceiling, it would be impossible to climb onto it.
  • Dumped - In early airings, the bus had jellyfishers in it. 
  • Shanghaied - According to the Season 2 DVD commentary, there are three different alternative endings. In the original, where SpongeBob wishes that the Flying Dutchman was a vegetarian. In the second, Patrick wishes for gum. In the third, Squidward wishes that he never met SpongeBob and Patrick. You can find all three on the Sea Stories DVD but not the VHS. You can watch all of that right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLCKJ8eAfUQ. Also, when Squidward is shown falling through The Fly Of Despair, it used to show skeletons, but they changed it to spaghetti and meatballs because the skeletons really scared younger viewers.
    • It was also originally going to be called "You Wish." The Season 2 DVD Box set still keeps this title.
  • Gary Takes a Bath - This episode was banned in many countries because of the disturbing subliminal message girl.
    Also, the title card music was originally going to be Hawaiian Train but was changed to Hawaiian Pussycat for unknown reasons.
  • Welcome to the Chum Bucket - According to the Season 2 DVD commentary, there's a deleted scene where Plankton was taking out SpongeBob's brain before putting it in the robot.
  • Frankendoodle - Patrick originally said SpongeBob's drawing was "lower middle class" but it was changed to "lacks basic construction" for unknown reasons.
  • The Secret Box - Some people recall seeing a picture of SpongeBob with a lampshade over his head or in his underwear while Patrick is revealing the embarrassing photo of SpongeBob at the Christmas party during the original airing and initial repeats.
  • Band Geeks - The original airing had Squidward collapsing after being exhausted.
  • Graveyard Shift - The Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVDs feature Tom Kenny and Rodger Bumpass recording a scene. It also includes storyboards of the episode and a deleted scene, in which SpongeBob does another activity "at night": he delivers the mail to "Floorboard Harry". Also, Floorboard Harry was originally going to be the one responsible for flickering the lights, not Nosferatu. So "Floorboard Harry" was replaced
  • Procrastination - The original airing had the following: SpongeBob saying "Gee, this is harder than I thought" then SpongeBob looks outside the window and sees a carnival with Squidward sunbathing, jellyfish playing tennis, Gary blowing a horn and riding on a beach ball, and Patrick rubbing sunscreen on Sandy and yelling "C'mon, SpongeBob!". SpongeBob then slides down the window and says "It should be against the law to have to write an essay on such a super sailorific, sunshiny day. Oh, but I must press onward! Because with this pencil, and the completion of this essay, I'll be one step closer to my driver's license!" (a live-action drag race is shown. a car hits a wall, tumbles and gets back up. cut back to SpongeBob.) "This'll be no problemo. I've got plenty of time. It's only six o'clock! Okay, okay here we go." (SpongeBob struggles to write) (moves his chair closer to the table. he does it a lot because of the fun noise it makes) "I know, I just gotta get a little blood pumpin' in the own noodle! How about some calisthenics?" (does calisthenics. While doing it, he recites "hup hoo" several times). This scene might have been deleted because Patrick was rubbing sunscreen on Sandy, who wasn't wearing her spacesuit, just her bikini and air helmet, and because it looked like Patrick was undoing Sandy's bikini top. Also, the part where a racing car is shown was cut so kids wouldn't imitate the stunt. Also, almost all of them were adult references. However, all these scenes are still there on the Season 2 DVD, the Christmas VHS and DVD  and in airings on Nickelodeon UK, Nickelodeon Poland, YTV, and B92. Scene can be viewed here [2]
  • Sailor Mouth - According to the Season 2 DVD commentary, it was planned to have a scene that had SpongeBob saying "Go 'dolphin noise' yourself" followed by Patrick saying "'Dolphin noise' you too!" during the Eels and Escalators Game. It was cut for being inappropriate to the younger audience.
  • The Fry Cook Games - In the original airing, the episode ended with SpongeBob and Patrick exiting the stadium holding hands. This scene was re-animated to them holding shoulders to avoid controversy. This was only edited in certain countries. Also, when the episode aired on July 23, 2014, they forgot to show the title card.
  • Artist Unknown - This episode was originally going to be named "Squidward's Cooking Class", but since Squidward dreamed of teaching art, this was changed. Hence, the fish appear thinking it's cooking class in the actual episode, but then leave.
  • Jellyfish Hunter - In UK airings, the scene where No Name cut the power to SpongeBob's house was replaced with a shot of the door outside of SpongeBob's house.
  • Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm - The original name for this episode was "Alaskan Bull Worm". It was later changed for unknown reasons.

Season 3

  • SpongeGuard on Duty - The original airing had the narrator saying "The sunbathers are oh so sexy." In reruns, the line was changed to "The sunbathers are oh so cool." This was changed due to it being inappropriate.
  • The Bully - The original airing had SpongeBob and Patrick playing leap frog while Flatts is beating him up. It was replaced with a scene of SpongeBob cooking Krabby Patties for unknown reasons. Probably cut to save time.
  • Just One Bite - This is one of the most popular and famous deleted scenes in the series. The original airing had a gas scene. Jay Lender, one of the show's writers, confirmed it in an e-mail, which were posted in a different, older thread. When Squidward awakes from his dreaming about marrying a Krabby Patty, he wakes up and he says "I have got to get my hands on a Krabby Patty and no one's gonna stop me!" and runs past SpongeBob's house on tiptoes, and when he's at the Krusty Krab, he says "There it is, unguarded! All I have to do is... wait. It's too easy. There must be some kind of (liquid drips)... security? This is our burglar alarm? A bucket of water? Ha-ha! (he kicks the door open, thus spilling the bucket over) That was too easy! (sniffs the liquid) Hey, this isn't water. This is... gas!" (A robot arm drops a lit match into the gas, resulting in a huge explosion. Squidward enters the kitchen setting off another burglar alarm. The kitchen bursts into flames for a few seconds. Then, he walks over to the Patty Vault). Later airings have Squidward say "There it is!" (cuts to interior of Krusty Krab with camera zooming in through window to the Patty Vault. Squidward approaches it as he did in the original version. The rest of the episode goes normally). It was cut because Nick thought it could possibly teach children how to light a fire (it is often believed that the scene was cut because of 9/11). The uncut episode is still aired in full on YTV, Nickelodeon Canada, VideoNow versions, and can be viewed here: [2]
  • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV - The original airing had a scene involving the Bikini Bottomites destroying furniture inside SpongeBob's head. It's likely cut either so that children would not be encouraged to do this or that was a little inappropriate.
  • Doing Time - The scene where SpongeBob gets arrested by the police was originally going to be the end scene. It was changed to the scene where the boat was repeating falling for an unknown reason.
  • One Krab's Trash - The original airing had SpongeBob saying "You'll never guess what I found in my pants last night," but "pants" was changed to "sock" because it sounds like SpongeBob is referring to his groin.
  • As Seen on TV - There was a scene when SpongeBob thinks "That's just what I need!" It was cut. Also, there was a scene where SpongeBob was cooking Krabby Patties. A fish took a picture, only for fun, and SpongeBob thought he was turning famous. It was cut for unknown reasons.
  • Can You Spare a Dime? - When SpongeBob choked Mr. Krabs, it had originally went on until his eyes turned bloodshot red. This was cut for gore references.
  • Squilliam Returns - The original airing had baby Squilliam walking while Squidward is only learning to crawl. Then, when they're in high school, Squidward only gives his date a single flower, but Squilliam appears with a bouquet of flowers and an enormous box of chocolates. Squidward being one-upped in everything in life by Squilliam was removed from reruns for unknown reasons. Also, in the original airing, Squidward, in his head, said "Lie, Squidward. Lying always makes it better." In the final test, it was later changed to "Don’t lie. Lying always makes it worse.," probably because the original line would've been a bad influence on children.
  • Rock-a-Bye Bivalve - At the end of the episode, after Junior flies away and SpongeBob says "Despite all we've been through, it was worth it.," Patrick says "Yeah... let's have another." This was cut from some countries, but left intact in the US. Also, in one part of the episode Patrick says "I believe in parenting with the heart... and with the shucking knife!" This scene was eventually cut.
  • Wet Painters - In the storyboard version, SpongeBob says, "I dedicate this crash to my best friend Squidward!" This was changed in the final cut, possibly because the line implied that Squidward had died.
  • Krusty Krab Training Video - The original airing had the narrator saying "It must never be discussed" when the formula is about to be revealed then SpongeBob would trip. It was cut for being an unexpected surprise or to never disappoint SpongeBob. Also, there was a deleted scene (in one airing only) when it skipped the hoopla fish and just threw a brick at him. It can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLNUXEaM4vs. Yet again, this was obvious to be deleted but it never aired. It was going to have the fish making a suffering noise for the rest of the scene.
  • Party Pooper Pants - The original airing had SpongeBob acting intensely drunk before getting locked out. This was cut for references to alcoholism. Also, the narrator's line, "That includes you folks, SpongeBob's House Party will be right back after these messages" was cut from the DVD releases because there are no commercials on the DVD. Also, in the storyboard featured on the DVD, the guests leave after SpongeBob unlocks the door when he gets back from the stony lonesome.
  • Chocolate with Nuts - The original airing had Patrick saying, "I wish my nuts were chocolate!" and then showed him pulling out a bag of nuts, but this was cut because it sounded like Patrick was referring to his genitalia. This episode was also rumored to have a VeggieTales advertisement inside the con man's house in the original broadcast. If this is true, it was most likely cut due to copyright by Big Idea.
  • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V - The original airing had a plane shown exploding. It was possibly deleted due to the events of 9/11 or due to an intense level of violence. All the following scenes can be seen on the "Fear of a Krabby Patty" DVD special features: Mermaid Man using his "scope-vision," a press conference with E.V.I.L, the ice cream truck becoming a "Miss Thang" robot, some random guy defeating Miss Thang with a disguise, SpongeBob rejoicing over the Mermalair's secret entrance, what really happened to the real I.J.L.S.A, Patrick armpit-farting, SpongeBob's original name: The Whizzer, Captain Magma skywriting, the Whizzer causing a tornado, Miss Appear being run over by a car, the Elastic Waistband being caught in the tornado and being defeated, and Mermaidman's scope-vision malfunctioning. Also, this episode is offen misspromoted as "Superfriends."
  • New Student Starfish - In the original storyboard featured on the Sponge for Hire and the third season DVD, after Patrick leaves in the end of the episode, SpongeBob says "Can I have his star?" It also shows Patrick looking at the calendar in the classroom and seeing the number 24 on it before he introduces himself. Also, on the April 12, 2013 (3:00 PM EST) airing, it cut off Rodger saying at the end "Hey! What'd I miss?" Instead, he said "What'd I mi-" instead.
  • Clams - The original airing had SpongeBob saying "Actually, it's Coral Blue Lipstick number 4" before getting hit by Squidward. The later airings changed to him saying it is Coral Blue Number 3 before Squidward cut him off, for unknown reasons. Also, when the music started, the band was shown before Mr. Krabs began dancing. Another scene that was cut was when Mr. Krabs called his deceased parents (who are strangely still able to communicate with him) to tell about his millionth dollar. All these scenes were cut in reruns, but still appears in the storyboard. Also in the storyboard, Squidward says "And quit your crying" before Mr. Krabs sucks the hand's thumb while he was crying about his millionth dollar.
  • Ugh - The Narrator saying "Stay tuned to SpongeBob B.C," Patchy getting hit with a big rock, and the Narrator saying "They discovered fire. How long are they gonna take to mess it up? Let's see." They are all cut from the Season 3 DVD for an unknown reason.
  • The Great Snail Race - According to the Season 3 DVD, there is a scene involving Sandy getting arrested for kicking SpongeBob in the buttocks. This was cut for an unknown reason.
  • Mid-Life Crustacean - The original airing had a different ending where Patrick says that Mr. Krabs is lame back, and then Mr. Krabs throws a wild punch at Patrick, leaving him laid up in the hospital, at which point, the episode ended, in which this had never existed before. Any airing of this episode after December 2003 had the scene replaced by the panty raid. The ending now involves SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs snooping around Betsy Krabs' drawer, and Mr. Krabs is grounded. SpongeBob then apologizes for being to rowdy in the first place. 
  • Born Again Krabs - In the Hebrew version of this episode, Mr. Krabs says his name is "Simon Vase" instead of "Harold Flower."
  • The Camping Episode - The original title for this episode was "Squid Gets Mauled" however it was changed probably because the title seemed too violent. Another reason for the removal could possibly be that it was not too descriptive.
  • The Sponge Who Could Fly - There is a deleted scene in the storyboard that had Patchy ripping off a SpongeBob band-aid when destroying his SpongeBob stuff, although he isn't seen ripping it off in reverse. There's another one where Patchy visits a store while following the map to the lost episode. For unknown reasons, it might of changed to The Seven Trials of Monkey Lagoon, if correct. Yet again, there was a scene with the French Narrator saying "Will SpongeBob learn to fly? Stay tuned." is cut from the "Lost at Sea" DVD because there are no commercials. Also, SpongeBob smiled nervously when the townspeople joked about him to look for a statue to poop on. SpongeBob being covered in black paint was cut after at least one airing due to implied racism. In the book, there was a scene when SpongeBob was walking back to his house, being laughed at. At one point, a pressman snaps a picture of SpongeBob in feathers. This scene was never broadcasted on TV. The scene can be seen in the book version of the episode
  • Pranks a Lot - In Brazilian broadcast, Frank said "Shapeless things?" and "Real snot?" instead of "Fake vomit?" and "Real vomit?" Also, the word "toast" was changed to other words in other versions.
    • In Spain, the fish that says "toast" says "ghost" instead.
    • In the Filipino dub, he says "want some?"
    • In the Hebrew version, he says "sandwich."
    • In Korea, he says "What's that?"
    • And in Bahasa Indonesia, he says "ghost" like he said in the Spanish version.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

There is a deleted scene included on the DVD and Blu-ray that includes SpongeBob and Patrick meeting Sandy on land. It had probably been cut because of Patrick vomiting many times. Also, during SpongeBob's awakening in The Goofy Goober Party Boat, he asks for a "double fudge spinny." This rejected line was used in a storybook based on the movie released during the time, except for meeting Sandy on Land. In another deleted scene, which can only be seen in the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie DVD, Shell City is actually a city and is where Sandy constantly gets

pursued all over the place by squirrel exterminators in black suits. She also mentions that there are buses that arrive here and Bikini Bottom. There is also a deleted scene when Mr. Krabs transformed into Robot Krabs, but this wasn't included on the DVD/Blu-ray release. There is also a deleted scene where Mr. Krabs appears in SpongeBob's room. This was cut due to sexual references or to save time, if correct.

Season 4

  • Fear of a Krabby Patty - On the storyboard featured on the Fear of a Krabby Patty DVD, they show Plankton waiting for SpongeBob instead of him having to get him up immediately after sitting down. There was another one when a bunch of Krabby Patties from a cave bring SpongeBob to his bed after he gets eaten by a Kabby Patty in his dream. Yet again, SpongeBob says another "K-R-A-B-B-Y-P-A-T-T-Y says I" during the day/night montage. Also, SpongeBob talks to Krabby Patties more in the storyboard animation. Squidward having bags in his eyes was originally going to be the end theme, it was changed for unknown reasons.
  • SquidBob TentaclePants - The original airing had Squidward talking to a therapist after Sandy's machine exploded, and was horribly deformed and mishapen into a liquid ball of the fused characters that was in the scene where Sandy's machine exploded. This was cut from reruns in some countries due to being too gruesome, though it remains intact in the US and The UK.
  • Have You Seen This Snail? - This episode was originally going to be a TV movie instead of a thirty-minute episode. Also, according to the storyboard, SpongeBob was originally going to visit Squidward's house and ask him if he could help give him a hand. This was mostly cut to save time.
  • Dunces and Dragons - On the Season 4 Volume 1 DVD, the storyboard shows SpongeBob and Patrick making sure they are OK after falling out of the sky.
  • Whale of a Birthday - In recent airings, Mr. Krabs's line, "Don't push your luck, boy," was cut. The episode is still aired intact on Nicktoons.
  • Karate Island - The original airing had a small amount of blood on Master Udon's face after being beat up by Sandy. This was removed due to being deemed too violent. The dedication card at the end of the episode was also removed after the Best Day Ever marathon.
  • All That Glitters - This episode was originally titled "Obsession" but it was later changed. Also, according to the storyboard, after Mr.Krabs said "Go before I lose all me customers," he would cry a tear drop saying "Me Money," then Squidward would ask "What Happened?" and then Mr.Krabs says "I don know." This was mostly cut to save time.
  • Wishing You Well - The original airing had a few minutes of "All That Glitters" at the beginning and it ended with SpongeBob at the therapist's office before it led to him saying "You can't rush perfection." This was removed from reruns to prevent duplication from "All That Glitters."
  • Bummer Vacation - This episode was originally going to be called "Bummer Summer," but for unknown reasons, was changed to "Bummer Vacation."
  • The Thing - There was a scene when Squidward thinks "What's so great about jellyfish?" It was cut.
  • Hocus Pocus - The original ending of this episode had SpongeBob and Patrick brutally assaulting Mr. Magic and Squidward shows up to stop them. This was deleted due to an extreme level of violence. This scene was never made, or it aired on television.
  • The Gift of Gum - Originally, the writers planned to color the gum blue, they changed it to pink for unknown reasons. Possibly because of Patrick's color.

Season 5

  • Friend or Foe - In the original airing, after SpongeBob squirts Plankton with ketchup and mustard, he said "Curses!" This was edited out in reruns. There is a second deleted scene of the formula flying through the air before the glass shatters. Can be found on the "Friend or Foe?" DVD in the "Original Uncut Animatic" special feature.
  • Night Light - The original airing had Patrick saying "SpongeBob, can I sleep with you again tonight?" This was changed to "Sleepover!" in later airings due to sexual references.
  • Spy Buddies - The original title for this episode was called "SpyBob". Some channel guides still show this title.
    • In the audio commentary, Tom King stated that in the original sketches, while SpongeBob and Patrick were sneaking in, Plankton was having a talk with Karen's Mother-in-Law, a car alarm. 
  • New Digs - In the scene where SpongeBob tries to go to sleep, there was a scene where Gary had an udder underneath him to make SpongeBob the glass of snail milk. This scene was deleted, and was never aired.
  • Roller Cowards - In The Bahasa Indonesia version, SpongeBob says "heart attack" instead of "spine loss" and "frightened" instead of "projectile vomiting". There was also a scene where it showed SpongeBob and Patrick printing their Glove World tickets on the Internet.
  • Breath of Fresh Squidward - The original airing had a scene involving Sadie talking to Susie. It was probably deleted because of the mother talking to her daughter about her life and her baby (birds and bees talk), and due to it being irrelevant to the plot. Four more scenes (or lines) where cut as well.
    • After SpongeBob says he and Patrick sneak into Squidward's house every morning, he said "...with our best friend, Squidward." This is cut for unknown reasons, maybe due to the fact that Squidward couldn't sneak into his house if he was sleeping.
    • After Mr. Krabs heard that Squidward is selling free hats, he said "Did somebody say free... in my restaurant?!" enraged and runs off from his office. In reruns, he only says "Did somebody say free?" suspiciously.
    • A scene involving SpongeBob screaming after finding out that Squidward made some Krabby Patties was cut.
    • The scene showing SpongeBob saying to Squidward before he gets electrocuted "What're you gonna do, cry Mr. Squidward Tentacles, or should I say Squidjerk Losercles" was cut. Presumably because of the name calling.
  • Atlantis SquarePantis - There is apparently a scene involving Patrick eating the world's oldest bubble (instead of taking a picture of it).
    • One viewer recalls hearing Squidward say "You idiots! Museums never use the real items!" in the original broadcast. This was removed in reruns, if correct.
  • The Inmates of Summer - When the episode was run 6:00 PM on May 16, 2013, they forgot to show the title card.
  • To Save a Squirrel - In recent airings of this episode, the title card isn't shown.
  • 20,000 Patties Under the Sea - The scene where SpongeBob and Patrick fall into the abyss after finding the submarine was cut from reruns in some countries for unknown reasons.
  • The Two Faces of Squidward - The original way how Squidward got his face back to normal was he got hit by a car, but it got changed to a support beam in the Krusty Krab, likely because the original scene would have been too frightening for young viewers. Also, The episode has been banned in some countries, because both of the new "handsome" Squidwards, (especially the second "even more handsome" Squidward) really terrified younger viewers. Another reason it was banned in some countries is because of the constant hitting Squidward in the face with the door, which a lot of countries don't tolerate. 
  • What Ever Happened to SpongeBob? - Tons of deleted scenes can be found in the storyboard for this. Here is a list of the deleted scenes in this episode:
    • Before Patrick called SpongeBob an idiot boy, he said he had to make a second cake for his mother. This was cut from reruns.
    • After SpongeBob destroyed Sandy's robot, Sandy showed SpongeBob the robot's broken head and told him to get out of her house. This is cut in the newer airing (though the line "Get out!" wasn't cut).
    • When SpongeBob is moving away, oysters can be heard yelling. This is cut in the newer airing of this episode.
    • After he got a lump on his head, SpongeBob said, "I better not hit my head again. That might cause a concussion." This was removed for unknown reasons or time consuming.
    • After the people of New Kelp City ran away, SpongeBob asked "What's wrong with blowing bubbles?" and blew one. This is cut for unknown reasons.

Season 6

  • House Fancy - The original ending of this episode was Nicholas Whithers hating Squidward's house and Squidward punching Squilliam in anger. This may have been cut due to violence or there would have also been no point if Nicholas hated Squidwards house.

  • No Hat for Pat - Patrick was originally going to say "Oh, you know what? You're just mean, and most importantly, I HATE YOU! So get lost!" This was cut due to Patrick's unusual level of idiocy and rudeness.

SpongeBob says, "It doesn't have to be," which causes Sandy to slap him. Also, there was a deleted Sandy theme song when Patchy is inside the belly of a whale. These were probably cut to save time.
  • Pineapple Fever - According to the script found in the August 2009 Nickelodeon magazine, the episode was supposed to end with the tornado stopping and the house falling on Squidward. This was cut due to a reference of death or a high level of violence.

    • At beginning of this episode, when Plankton emerges from the sesame seed, he uses an inhaler to breathe. He also does this when he gets trapped in Sandy's suit. This was presumably cut because of uses of medicine or teaching children to use an inhaler.
    • After SpongeBob smells the buns, he says "Nothin' like the smell of that!," then is shown making Krabby Patties. Then, he says "Hmm... which one? This is a special patty for a special someone, so I need a special bun. I better use the scientific method!," plays "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe," and chooses the bun Plankton is in, and exclaims "Bun, you are quite a looker!" before placing on the Krabby Patty. This was probably removed due to time constraints.
    • There was also a scene in which Sandy took off her bra before taking a shower, and wasn't wearing a bra throughout the rest of the episode. This was cut due to complete nudity.
    • A scene where Plankton is shown testing out his microphone to Karen before going to the Krusty Krab is cut.

    • There was also a scene where, after Sandy's seaweed skirt (and bra in the deleted version), she takes a cone from a construction site, causing an incoming boat to crash into a huge hole being dug by a construction worker. Then, he calls her a thief, and yells "That shaved monkey is makin' off with city property!" Then, she runs to the clothes store, but gets run out by Old Man Jenkins, due to the store having a "no clothes, no service" policy. Then we cut to her running through Bikini Bottom as the episode goes normally.
    • There was also a scene in which there is a news report on Sandy, and is mistaken for a Sasquatch, before we cut to the park scene.
