Trivia[]
General[]
- This is the first event with weekly premieres in the 2020s decade.
- All nine episode premieres of SpongeBob and two episode premieres of Kamp Koral preceded the series premiere and new episodes of The Barbarian and the Troll.
- All of the episodes that aired on April 2 are jellyfishing-themed episodes, except the Kamp Koral episodes "Sugar Squeeze" and "Tag, You're It."
- "The Jellyfish Kid" was originally supposed to air in this event, as it is the first episode of Kamp Koral, but it was replaced later on.[16]
- The SpongeBob episode "Under the Small Top" and "Squidward's Sick Daze" are the only season 13 episodes to premiere in this event.
- Clips from "Patrick's Tantrum" were used in promos for "Plankton's Intern," despite not premiering in this event.
- All of the season 12 episodes in this premiere event were previously released on The Complete Twelfth Season DVD in the United States.
- The Kamp Koral episodes "Sugar Squeeze" and "Tag, You're It" are the highest-viewed episodes in this event with 0.71 million views; the lowest-viewed episode in this event is "Knock Knock, Who's There?" with 0.34 million views.
- Albeit, the lowest-rated piece of media overall is the SpongeBob short "Can You Spare a Dime?: Puppet Edition!," with a measly 0.32 million views.
Errors[]

Letterboxed advertising mistake in a rerun of "License to Milkshake" that occurred on May 9, 2021.
- Even though Nickelodeon aired new episodes of The Loud House in this event, they mistakenly used the letterboxed ad for new SpongeBob episodes instead of that show.
