Max: Episode Broadcast Edits

When SpongeBob SquarePants began re-running on Max, there were many edits to the show made for reasons initially unknown until it was revealed that the network took many issues with the show's content. However, many shows on Max have things done on SpongeBob in the past, so it isn't clear why SpongeBob SquarePants in particular was singled out (one of SpongeBob 's fellow Nicktoons, The Loud House, was left completely unedited).

General edits

 * The 4:3 episodes are stretched into 16:9, and the 16:9 intro replaces the 4:3 intro on the stretched episodes and on 16:9 episodes with the 4:3 intro.
 * Many infamous moments in the post-movie episodes are either edited or removed altogether.

Help Wanted

 * The scene where SpongeBob serves up Krabby Patties to the angry anchovies while Tiny Tim sings "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" is sped up for time.

Reef Blower

 * The episode has dialogue recycled from other episodes added.

Tea at the Treedome

 * The original title card with a different background and colors is used.

Ripped Pants

 * The episode ends after the concert finishes.
 * SpongeBob ripping his pants is either blurred or covered up with the channel's logo.

Jellyfishing

 * The scene where Patrick jams the net through Squidward's bandaged hand is cut.

Naughty Nautical Neighbors

 * The scene where Squidward chokes on the fork is cut, and him changing color from grey to blue is edited to make him grey-colored.

Suds

 * The scene where Patrick is with SpongeBob on a torture bed was cut since it looked like Patrick was torturing SpongeBob.

Something Smells

 * SpongeBob says "Look!" to the building instead of "Hi building".

Dying for Pie

 * The scene where Bikini Bottom blows up is cut, so only the explosion stock footage is shown, and a scene from Just One Bite where Squidward is taken to the hospital is edited in to replace that scene.

Wormy

 * The sudden live-action buzzing horsefly close-ups were cut.

Band Geeks

 * "Sweet Victory" is sped up for time.

Procrastination

 * The deleted scene is shown, however the live-action drag race footage is changed to a man bungee-jumping over a lake due to reasons currently unknown.

Life of Crime

 * The scene where Patrick questions the possibility of having a fire underwater is cut, instead, the fire goes out without Patrick saying anything.

The Fry Cook Games

 * The scene where the fish holding the torch catches fire is cut for being too violent.

The Great Snail Race

 * Sandy kicking SpongeBob's butt is cut for being misandristic; this caused a minor plot hole in the episode. So instead, the episode ends with a cut to black after Squidward says "Will I ever win?"

House Fancy

 * The toenail scene was edited to show a outside shot of Squidward's house each time the sofa went over Squidward's toenail.
