Trivia
- 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.[5]
- In Belgium, Nickelodeon Wallonia airs the HD episodes in 576i, as the channel doesn't have a HD feed.
- 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.
Errors
- In the intro, Painty says "Qui vit dans ananas," instead of "Qui vit dans un ananas."
- 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 airings, 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.
