SpongeBob SquarePants: Scenes Cut from Early Broadcasts

In the early 2000s, when spongebob was starting to become more popular, there were a few episodes that had a certain scene that was seen (usually on the original airing or only a few) but then removed from the episode for certain reasons.

Hooky- The original airing showed a dead fish who was tieing its shoes. it was removed for unknown reasons (either for time or because of death)

Big Pink loser- the title card music was very low pitched on the original airing. it was pitched higher in later airings due to the music scaring children.

Bubble Buddy- the original airing started with a few seconds of big pink loser before cutting to patrick's rock. This was cut to avoid duplication.

Life of crime- The original airing had spongebob saying "no more getting nailed' followed by patrick hammering a nail into his head. This was removed due to an obvious sexual reference.

Dumped- in early airings, the bus had jellyfishers in it.

shanghied- on the original airing, the patchy segment involved patchy telling kids about a poll that nickelodeon held on the phone to see who gets the wish at the end of the episode. this was obviously redubbed dubbed due to the poll being over. (the original patchy segment can be found on the first 100 episodes dvd and the alternate endings can be found on the sea stories dvd)

The secret box- some people recall seeing a picture of spongebob with a lamp shade over his head or in his underwear in early airings. This is removed for unknown reasons.
