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 - The scene were SpongeBob serves up Krabby Patties to the angry anchovies was cut in Italy for unknown reasons.
  • 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 would end when the concert was just beginning. This was removed because kids and other 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 violence.
  • Plankton! - According to the Season 1 DVD commentary, a scene involving Squidward being naked was cut.
  • Naughty Nautical Neighbors - In one of the Polish airings, the scene where Squidward chokes on the fork was cut due to violent content. Also, in the chapter book, there was a part where SpongeBob went to his closet finding what to wear before going to Squidward's house. This was never aired on television for unknown reasons.
  • 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.

  • Jellyfish Jam  - In one of the Polish airings, the scene where SpongeBob does the jellyfish dance was cut. the title card is cut in later airings most likely due to time, everything still remains intact on Nicktoons.
  • 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 for unknown reasons.
  • Nature Pants - A scene showing SpongeBob being nearly naked was cut, though his bottom was covered, but was deleted due to nudity.

  • Culture Shock - On the Season 1, Volume 2 DVD, the production music K-55 was replaced by Aspiracion for unknown reasons.
  • 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.
  • SB-129 - The Serbian name of this episode is called "SB-192" because the channel that airs SpongeBob in Serbia is called B92. 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.

    • 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.

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.

  • 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 sexual 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.

  • 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.
    • 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 and the sexual joke "Don't drop the soap".
    • Also, the title card music was originally going to be Hawaiian Train but was changed to Hawaiian Pussycat for unknown reasons.
    • However, it is not banned in Israel and a little more countries.
  • 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. The scene where Plankton reads to SpongeBob is edited to remove SpongeBob's drool.
  • 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.
  • Graveyard Shift - The Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD features Tom Kenny and Rodger Bumpass recording a scene from this episode. It also includes storyboards of the episode and a deleted scene, in which SpongeBob does another activity "at night" as he delivers the mail to "Floorboard Harry." Floorboard Harry was also originally going to be the one responsible for flickering the lights, not Nosferatu.
  • 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 due to it being too inappropriate for 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, in some airings, the title card does not appear.
  • 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 for unknown reasons. Also, in the Fisher-Price InteracTV version of this episode, the scene where SpongeBob looks out the window, No Name calls SpongeBob's phone and doesn't speak, cutting off the power to SpongeBob's house, and then sneaking into the kitchen like Gary was cut for possibly being a bit creepy to some kids, making the scene where SpongeBob runs into his house cut to where SpongeBob finds a Krabby Patty with blue jelly on the kitchen floor.
  • Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm - The original name for this episode was "Alaskan Bull Worm". It was later changed for unknown reasons.

Season 3

  • 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 infamous deleted scenes in the series, 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 initially cut out of respect to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks less than a month prior, and its absence after the "too soon" period was due to concerns of public imitation. 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 - An interview with Sam Henderson on SpongeBuddy Mania claimed there was 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 due to gore references.
  • Squilliam Returns - An interview with Sam Henderson claimed there was a scene that 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.
  • 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 - This episode has two deleted scenes.
    • The original airing had a deleted scene where the narrator says "Sounds like a lot of hoopla to make a krabby patty, right? Wrong!" and a fish gets hit in the head with a brick. In reruns and DVD releases, the fish gets hit first for unknown reasons.
    • There is a second deleted scene where the narrator says "It must never be discussed" when telling SpongeBob the krabby patty formula. It is cut due to it being an unexpected surprise or to never disappoint SpongeBob.
  • Party Pooper Pants - 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.
  • 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 due to there being no commercials.
  • 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. But probably to save time.
  • 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 the 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 Latin America, he says "ghosts".
    • 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.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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 certain parts of Europe due to being too gruesome, though it remains intact in the US and The UK.
  • 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.
  • Ghost Host - As shown on the storyboard (Link here, there are several deleted scenes (note that some deleted scenes may be hard to view do to the "OUT" label obscuring the view):
    • The Flying Dutchman was shown doing the finger trick on SpongeBob after turning into various monsters to scare him (to no avail). It was cut for unknown reasons.
    • After the customer at the mattress store wakes up, he says to the manager "Oh?! It's you. You gave me quite a start."
    • Before the party scene, the storyboard shows the Flying Dutchman laying in a pile of junk, sleeping. SpongeBob clears his throat to get the Dutchman's attention, causing the Dutchman to wake up and say "Breakfast? I'd like four fried eggs & three double Krabby Patties." SpongeBob then brings out a plate of steamed coral, saying "How about a healthy serving of steamed coral instead." The Dutchman asks "Why, do ya think I'm getting a little paunchy?" SpongeBob then says "I'm on the outside lookin' in, man." The Flying Dutchman proceeds to take the steamed coral ("Alright, alright, gimme that thing!") and sniff it, then pushes it away in disgust. SpongeBob then says he has to go to work, but that he knows that the Dutchman will scare the pants off of someone. The Flying Dutchman mumbles "Yeah, sure.", but when SpongeBob asks what he says, he says in a louder voice "I'll get right on that." SpongeBob then leaves the work, and the two say goodbye to each other. Immediately after, the Dutchman grabs the phone, and calls his friend Ralph to have a party, which then leads up to the party scene. This scene was most likely cut to save time.
    • When everyone at the party leaves, Susie asks the Dutchman "Will I see you again?" The Dutchman then says "When you least expect it, baby!", proceeded by SpongeBob slamming the door. This scene was cut for unknown reasons.
    • Immediately after the aforementioned deleted scene with Susie, SpongeBob goes over his agreements with the Dutchman's residence inside his house, followed by the Dutchman licking SpongeBob's finger. This scene was cut for unknown reasons.
    • After the Flying Dutchman cries after watching the video, SpongeBob comes up to comfort him and says "I know, buddy, I know...", followed by the Dutchman rocking back and forth. This scene was cut for unknown reasons.
    • After the old lady walks away, SpongeBob comes up and asks the Dutchman what happened. The Dutchman sadly says he probably doesn't have it in him anymore, which causes SpongeBob to grab his beard and yell "NONSENSE!", and pep talks the Dutchman that he still has it in him. This scene was cut for unknown reasons, probably to save time.
    • Originally, before they head up to the gym, SpongeBob says to the Dutchman "Dutchie! I think we found your next victim!". This was cut for unknown reasons.
    • Before Squidward goes to pamper his face, he says "Thank goodness for days off work...now I can get back to what's really important...me!" Then, when he comes to his make-up brush, he says "Ah, the beauty of man foundation. Does wonders for a squid like me. Not that I need it!" Both of these were cut for unknown reasons.
    • Squidward was originally going to say "Get a hold of yourself, Squidward." before saying "There's n-n-no such things as ghosts." This was cut for unknown reasons.
    • After Squidward says "No! That's impossible!", it shows the Flying Dutchman still doing the finger trick while Squidward says "NOOOO!", before running off. This was cut for unknown reasons.
  • 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 - 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't 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 - 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, it was probably deleted because it doesn't make sense because her mother-in-law would be his mother and his real mother was seen in a different episode
  • 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.
    • This episode was banned in Israel for unknown reasons.
  • 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. This scene was deleted because electronics and water don't mix.
  • 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).
    • Three viewers recall 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. They still forget to show the title card usually.
  • 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? - Many 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.
    • All of these scenes are shown in the DVD of "WhoBob WhatPants" on the storyboard making.

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 in the episode if Nicholas hated Squidward's house. Also, the toenail scene was also cut from Indonesian airings due to a warning made by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission about the sight of blood and violent content.

  • 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.
  • Truth or Square - The episode originally had a deleted line in the marriage scene after the priest says he didn't know the wedding was a play. 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 scenes 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.

Season 7

  • Someone's in the Kitchen with Sandy - Because the makers had to make the story with less confusion, several scenes and lines in this episode were removed from the final version of this episode before it aired. None of these were aired, but the storyboard can be found here.
    • 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 toodlers to use an inhaler even if they don't have asthma.
    • 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.
    • SpongeBob originally takes his Labor Agreement Contract out of his mouth.
    • 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.
    • Finally, when Sandy got the formula out of her suit, it popped out of the eye sockets rather than the mouth in the original version.

  • One Coarse Meal - The original title for this episode was "Plankton Got Served."
  • The Play's the Thing and Rodeo Daze - In Canada, "The Play's the Thing" and "Rodeo Daze" is listed on the TV guide, but due to the unknown error, "Gramma's Secret Recipe" and "The Cent of Money" plays instead for unknown reason. This issue is fixed later.

  • Free Samples - The originally plot was that Plankton buys patties and gives it away for free and SpongeBob and Patrick try to find a way that they could get The Krusty Krab's customers back. But this was recycled eventually.
  • InSPONGEiac - When this episode was announced in August 2011, the plot was originally going to be about Mr. Krabs having a nightmare and turning into a mustard dispenser.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

There is a deleted scene included on the DVD and Blu-ray that can be found in the Animatics feature. The deleted scene shows SpongeBob and Patrick meeting Sandy on land. It had probably been cut because of Patrick vomiting many times. In the same deleted scene, Shell City is actually a city and is

Deleted scene with Mr. Krabs appearing in SpongeBob's room.

where Sandy constantly getspursued all over the place by squirrel exterminators in black suits. She also mentions that there are buses that arrive here and Bikini Bottom. Also, during SpongeBob's awakening in The Goofy Goober Party Boat, he asks for a "double fudge spinny." This line was rejected from the film, but was still used in the Ice Cream Dreams book which is loosely based on the movie. There is also a deleted scene where Mr. Krabs appears in SpongeBob's room. This was cut due to save time.

However, the deleted scene of meeting Sandy on the surface was later recycled into the 2nd movie when SpongeBob and friends are surprised by Sandy's superhero ability of being a giant real life squirrel named "The Rodent."
