In "The Great Snail Race," SpongeBob places immense pressure on Gary to train for the race, shouting at him and eventually pushing him to exhaustion. When Gary crashes and explodes like a car during the race, SpongeBob hugs him in remorse, and the battered Gary instantly recovers upon seeing a cute snail.

Dried remains of sea creatures are often used to represent the characters "above land" or "dried up". Mrs. Puff's husband was killed and turned into a lampshade in "Krusty Love".

Gary the snail is sad in multiple episodes. In one he runs away after SpongeBob forgets to feed him. In another, he is sad and meows constantly because Snail Bites treats are sold out. Gary is also sad after SpongeBob overworks him for a race.

The Season 7 episode One Coarse Meal uses Mr. Krabs manipulating Plankton's fear of whales as a plot point.This is played unusually seriously and Plankton is driven to madness because of this. Krabs has the tables turned on him near the end, as he is forced to face his own deathly fear -- a mime.

SpongeBob and Patrick end up in Goo Lagoon and can't swim. Patrick pushes SpongeBob underwater several times while trying to escape drowning. It's not malicious, just out of panic and stupidity.

SpongeBob has flirted at / been flirted at by various citizens of Bikino Bottom. His age is ambiguous since he's often called a kid, but still seems to live like an adult. I am pretty sure that the writers never even thought about SpongeBob's age while writing the scenes.

In the episode "The Bully" a fish named Flats tells SpongeBob he's going to "kick his butt." He does hit SpongeBob several times but SpongeBob, being soft and spongy, isn't hurt. Flats eventually exhausts himself and collapses, leading people to think SpongeBob actually beat Flats up.

"To Save a Squirrel"'s plot revolves around SpongeBob and Patrick being trapped in a cave and trying to eat the other, and I believe SpongeBob says something like "it's eat or be eaten here..."

Many episodes, but usually very cartoony. In "Spongebob Meets the Stranger," Spongebob steps on the Strangler's eyes with cleats causing the Strangler to scream in pain for an extended scene. Mr. Krabs sometimes detaches his eye stalks, in one episode they explode.

It depends on whether you count a random fish falling off of a cliff and exploding as him dying, there’s no confirmation of his death. This was in the seahorse episode.

While it's not onscreen, in the episode Code Yellow, Spongebob chops up Squidward's body, with only his head remaining. I would argue, that counts as decapitation.

In-universe, yes. A fully able bodied fish pretends to be severely physically disabled as a scam. He claims he has "glass bones and paper skin" and needs money for his medical bills. Once he cons Patrick and Spongebob, he takes off all his medical gear and laughs about his actions.

In one episode Patrick and Spongebob are fighting and wind up in their underwear. They stop fighting when they notice Spongebob has pink underwear and Patrick has yellow. Patrick states the underwear were white when he bought them, implying he peed himself.
In another episode Patrick eats too much snow and needs to pee. Squidward refuses to let him in to use the bathroom so Patrick pees himself.

Two cases that weren't mentioned:.

Plankton's Regular- Mr. Krabs makes a fish eat a krabby patty, and he throws up off screen. You see a red puddle under him for a few seconds. It's not graphic and just looks like water.

Spongicus- Plankton feeds a woman some chum as a snack, and she immediately throws up. It's not shown, but the sound can be triggering. This only lasts a couple seconds.

The hospital is a common setting in the series. The episode "The Lost Mattress" has Mr. Krabs comatose in the hospital (from losing all the money in his mattress) as a plot point. This is played for laughs.

Not in every episode, but there are a few where reality is very fluid or unclear. In the episode Doing Time, it's difficult to tell if events are really happening or if Mrs. Puff is imaging them. As the episode progresses, and the antics get weirder, it's unclear if Mrs. Puff has gone crazy in jail or if the entire scenario is still entirely in her imagination and she never was in jail at all.

The beginning of the episode "Squidward in Clarinetland" shows Mr. Krabs scraping a board, which aggravates everyone inside the Krusty Krab except (ironically) Squidward. It is very brief, but the sound may be very uncomfortable for some.

There are several meltdowns, usually after SpongeBob is pushed far past his limits. In one episode, after trying to help Mr. Krabs win over Mrs. Puff and being treated poorly by Mr. Krabs for all his effort, SpongeBob melts down and screams at Mr. Krabs. He calls him a bunch of gibberish that is meant to be cartoon curse words. In the episode "Can You Spare a Dime," Squidward takes advantage of SpongeBob for months until SpongeBob explodes. At one point Mr. Krabs is choked because it was his fault Squidward ended up jobless and mooching from SpongeBob. SpongeBob has a meltdown and cries when he loses a "good noodle" gold star. After he discovers Patrick never took off the lens cap, therefore ruining the movie they were making, SpongeBob has a meltdown that includes him crawling on the ground, screaming and eating worms. Patchy has a meltdown and starts crying and throwing away his SpongeBob merch when he is disappointed in a "lost episode."

Squidward and Patrick have both demonstrated binge-eating. In the episode "Just One Bite" Squidward gorges himself on Krabby Patties until he explodes. Patrick likewise binges often on food. Their binge-eating is played for laughs but does sometimes harm them.

In "Wishing You Well," the characters are trapped at the bottom of a well (Squidward actually mentions his own claustrophobia, to which SpongeBob and Patrick humorously believe is a fear of Santa Claus).
In "Buried in Time," the characters are briefly trapped in a cluttered time capsule.
In "Truth or Square," the characters spend a good amount of time crawling through air ducts and trying to escape.

In the episode "All that Glitters" SpongeBob looks DIRECTLY at the screen and speaks to the audience. It's also very zoomed in so he takes up most of the screen. In "No Free Rides" SpongeBob is driving and hits the "cameraman." The view angle changes to looking up at SpongeBob from the ground. Several times Squidward mentions "11 minutes," which is the run time of each episode, such as "the longest 11 minutes of my life" or "I give him 11 minutes." There are also several instances where characters will comment on background music, like the orchestra in the episode where a clam eats Mr. Krab's dollar.

In "Pet or Pests", a stray worm goes into loud, painful labor. The actual birth is never shown, but the next time we see the worm, their babies are squirming in what seems to be afterbirth. There is no blood involved in the scene -- the afterbirth is snail slime.

At the risk of getting controversial (and speaking as a fan of the show), Professor Holly M. Barker (Uni. of Washington) has argued that the show is insensitive to victims of colonialism. Bikini Bottom is named after and set directly under Bikini Atoll, the natives of the atoll having been violently and hatefully resettled by the US government so they could use the atoll for nuclear testing. This is the setting of a show made by an American with an all-American cast. She has also pointed out that the show appropriates Pacific culture.

There are a few dirty jokes in earlier seasons that mostly go over childrens heads, such as Spongebob wearing underwear on his head with his nose sticking out, making it look like an erection. There's also an episode where Spongebob is trying to get Gary to take a bath and he says "don't drop them" and winks while he hands Gary soap- a reference to prison rape. In addition to this the town they live in is called "Bikini Bottom" and there is a character named "Sandy Cheeks" but neither of those things are overtly sexual. Unless your child knows something they shouldn't, the show is completely safe for them to watch.

They are cartoon, PG nude scenes but full butt cheeks are sometimes shown. SpongeBob spends the entire episode "Nature Pants" living naked in the wilderness with jellyfish. Spongebob and Patrick both get naked to avoid staining their clothes with paint. A table is used to tastefully censor full nudity in the episode "Hooky."

In the band geeks episode, the flag twirlers are seen crashing into a airplane. However, this is purely a comedic effect and the characters reappear later in the episode. A plane also crashes into a fireworks factory in one episode, and in Club spongebob a plane full of food and supplies crashes into the forest, however this just a gag and no one is seen injured.

A character in "Bubble Buddy" gets left buried in the sand at low tide and we see the water begin to encroach around him. He later appears as an angel. It is heavily implied he drowned.

Almost never but there is an episode where SpongeBob pokes Squidward’s exposed heart and blood shoots out. While there isn’t any actual blood the infamous toenail scene is gory.
