Trivia
- This is the first time since 2015 where a pre-movie makes it onto the list proper.
- This list is the first time A Pal For Gary, the most infamous episode in the SpongeBob fandom, was not in the top 10 of the worst list, falling all the way down to #29. Before, the lowest the episode had ever been was #6 in 2019.
- Spongebob You're Fired got #1 for the first time ever. It is the third episode to ever get #1 after A Pal for Gary and Stuck in the Wringer
- Four of the 22 #1 placements did not make the list, three of which did not make HMs. These were Coffee_lover's (Doodle Dimension), Trophy's (Sportz), SOF's (Karate Island), and 4EverGreen's (Kooky Cooks)
