Let s start with the season three episode Mid-Life Crustacean. The episode centres around Mr Krabs having a mid-life crisis and SpongeBob and Patrick s attempts to cheer him up. The problematic scene which probably led to the episode being out of rotation since 2018, is when Patrick suggests a panty raid, resulting in the three breaking into Mr Krabs mum s house and stealing all her underwear.
Nickelodeon have not confirmed whether this scene is the reason behind the disappearance of the episode, saying only that the episode has been out of rotation since 2018, following a standards review in which we determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate.

And now, cancel culture has come for SpongeBob SquarePants . In a manner of speaking. It s not clear if anyone asked for this, but Nickelodeon decided to remove two episodes due to non-kid-friendly content.
One is Mid-Life Crustacean from Season 3, where SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs go on a PANTY RAID at a woman s house, not realizing they re at the home of Mr. Krabs MOTHER. This one has actually been out of the rotation since 2018.
The other episode is Kwarantined Krab from Season 12. In this one, the Krusty Krab is placed in emergency quarantine, after a virus called the Clam Flu starts spreading.
Bikini Bottom Takes Direct Hit from Cancel Culture
The beloved cartoon recently had two episodes pulled out of it s rotation due to a couple of questionable story lines. One of which had to due with a virus storyline, Kwarantined Krab was from 2019. The episode featured a health inspector who found a case of the clam flu at the Krusty krab and then quarantined all the customers inside. That episode was removed before the season was released on DVD.
A Sponge Bob episode from 2003 also took a hit. This one had to deal with Mr. Krabs who was going through a bit of a mid-life crisis, and a panty raid was brought up. Obviously this one did not go over to well with the higher ups at Nickelodeon and the episode was removed.
