Censorship[]
- In Nick India airing of "Ripped Pants", every time SpongeBob rips his pants, it is completely blurred, however on ETV Bal Bharat it's not.[2]
- "The Executive Treatment" was banned there due to the green eel being considered scary to children.
- Unsurprisingly, the scene from "That's No Lady"— where Patrick strips and gets naked— was cut, and replaced with Mr. Krabs gaping in shock.
- In many episodes, the boob in "SpongeBoob" (a mispronunciation of SpongeBob) is censored.
Trivia[]
- Despite using the "Nick" name, Nick India does not air any content from the original American network in recent times as part of a localization strategy. Original shows of the channel are only shown on the Nick HD+ channel. Thus, the show has been exclusively airing on the HD+ channel since 2018.
- For unknown reasons, ETV Bal Bharat produced their own dub of some episodes from season 2[3] and all of season 7 onward, despite them already having a Hindi dub.
- Interestingly, the re-dubbed season 2 episodes and the re-dubbed episodes of season 7 onward use completely different voice casts from one another and are presumably done by different studios, despite being ordered by the same channel in the same time period.
Errors[]
- When "Texas" and/or "Walking Small" airs in India[4] (also happens in Nicktoons UK), the show's logo is textless at the end of the intro.
