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 humor and 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 (several other animated kids' shows airing on Max were left completely unedited).
== List of edits ==
=== General edits ===
* The 4:3 episodes are cropped into 16:9, and the 16:9 intro replaces the 4:3 intro on the cropped 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.
=== Sandy's Rocket ===
* The opening credits are recycled from SB-129.
* The ending is cut, so the episode ends with Patrick capturing himself, followed by a cut to black.
=== Suds ===
* The scene where Patrick is with SpongeBob on a torture bed was cut since it looked like Patrick was torturing SpongeBob.
=== Valentine's Day ===
* The man who asks Patrick the time gets an answer "3:15" instead of Patrick yelling, "Patrick needs love too!"
=== Texas ===
* The scene where Patrick gets lassoed by Sandy has the explosion digitally painted out, and the accompanying sound effect removed.
=== Scaredy Pants ===
* The screamo/grindcore version of the intro used for Nickelodeon's 2017 April Fools Day joke is used instead of the normal intro, albeit with SpongeBob saying "April Fools!" at the end cut.
* The scene depicting Patrick cutting chunks of SpongeBob's head is cut.
* SpongeBob's shaved-down appearance is digitally painted over with a rounded version of his normal look; this caused the "pink hat" joke to become pointless.
===Neptune's Spatula===
*The scene where Neptune opens the cloud to accidentally show Tom Kenny in the shower was deleted.
=== Something Smells ===
* SpongeBob says "Look!" to the building instead of "Hi building".
=== The Smoking Peanut ===
* SpongeBob's line "Yes! Yes! It's true! It's all true! The merriment, the peanut, the Patrick!" is changed to "Yes! Yes! It's true! It's all true! The merriment, the peanut, Patrick!"
=== Jellyfish Hunter ===
* The scene where SpongeBob runs into his house cuts to where SpongeBob finds a Krabby Patty with blue jelly on the kitchen floor.
=== Welcome to the Chum Bucket ===
* "This Grill is Not a Home" is sped up to allow for more time.
=== Dumped ===
* The title card music is "Honolulu March" instead of "Daytime Drama 59/29".

=== Wormy ===
* The sudden live-action buzzing horsefly close-ups were cut.
* The fire in the scenes of Bikini Bottom burning is digitally painted out, although this caused a minor rendering error, as this part of the episode appears slightly pixelated on the network.

* The montage of Squidward getting more and more tired of living in Squidville was shortened.
* The scene where Squidward's house blows up was shortened.
* The scene where Patrick puts the cake in his pants was cut.
=== Band Geeks ===
* "Sweet Victory" is sped up for time.

* The disturbing subliminal message girl was replaced with a picture of Squidward.

===Just One Bite===
*The deleted scene was kept, but all mentions of gasoline were cut.
*A shot of SpongeBob running away was added in prior to the Krusty Krab exploding.

=== Just One Bite ===
* The montage of Squidward and his Krabby Patty wife was shortened.
* However, the deleted scene was left intact.
* Audio of SpongeBob screaming from "Nature Pants" was added into the scene of the Krusty Krab exploding, to make it seem like he survived it.
=== 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?"
* The episode airs significantly less than others because of the animal abuse in the episode.
=== Rock-a-Bye Bivalve ===
* Patrick saying "I'll take care of this!" and SpongeBob saying "No, Patrick!" is cut.
* Patrick's line "Yeah... let's have another." is shortened to just "Yeah."
=== Krusty Krab Training Video ===
* The Hoopla Fish is absent, so the camera stays at the Krabby Patty.
* The POOP abbreviation was changed to People Enjoy Eating Here (PEEH).
* Mr. Krabs flicking Plankton out of the restaurant was cut.
