Censorship

The dub has faced censorship challenges in its run on TF1. For example, episodes such as "Spy Buddies," "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob," "Suction Cup Symphony," and "The Splinter" were banned from airing on TF1 to avoid children from committing dangerous acts. Some episodes have scenes cut for the same reasons.

• "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler" - SpongeBob steps on the Strangler's eyes and socket with his cleats.

	"I can turn into a skyscraper!" This section is too short. You can help Encyclopedia SpongeBobia by expanding it.

Trivia

General

• The episodes and intro are dubbed into the respective language.
  • The intro has some different animations that are also seen in the Korean (EBS version), Italian, European Spanish, and Welsh versions of the opening.
• During its initial run on Télétoon when airing seasons 1 and 2, it was called Un bob à la Mer with the intro left undubbed minus the title screen and opening credits being localized. But when the dub aired on TF1, the title screen was changed to Bob L'éponge along with the theme song being dubbed.
  • Télétoon didn't use the second version of the intro until 2003 when they started airing season 3.
• While dubbing season 6, the original dubbing studio (Studio SOFI) went bankrupt, and the dubbing of the show got moved to another dubbing studio (Dôme Productions.)
• In this dub, SpongeBob's first name is "Bob", rather than "SpongeBob."
• The different colored faces in the intro were used in the first SpongeBob promo.
• In Belgium, Nickelodeon Wallonia airs the HD episodes in 576i.
  • Since April 6, 2020, the episodes are broadcasted with no localization.
• In Nickelodeon France's feed, the Nicktoons logo is intact (in the earlier seasons.)
• In the earlier seasons, the background characters had different voices throughout the episodes.
• Seasons 1-7 used the Ad Lib font during the credits, and on many title cards.

Errors

• Before the HD intro, when Painty says "Oooooh...," one can see what looks like a microphone at the top of the screen that is not supposed to be there.
• In some episodes, the intro's vocals are out of sync with the instrumental.
• In "Truth or Square," at the end of the theme song, the screen is frozen in the middle of SpongeBob dancing, just to show the logo.
• In the HD intro, before SpongeBob plays his nose flute, his irises are transparent.
• In a lot of episodes, some crew members' names are misspelled.

• In "Restraining SpongeBob", when Squidward is removing SpongeBob's name to write Patrick's name in the restraining order paper, a piece of the paper is seen in his head.
  • Also in the episode, Patrick's name is only seen in the restraining order paper when Squidward shows him it.
• Renaud Durand worked on seasons 1 to 6, but was uncredited in the first two.
