## Trivia

* In the episodes "Safe Deposit Krabs" and "Plankton's Pet," there was no text on the title cards. This is likely an error.
* This dub uses the original 1997 intro
	+ The images in that intro for this language differ from the images used in the English intro.
* There were two special events in Israel: Best Day Ever (event) and Sponge Master. Later, a teaser of Gold Sponge Master is seen with the episodes "House Worming" and "Code Yellow."
* "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" uses the regular intro. However, "Christmas Who?" and "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" still uses Painty with the wreath.
* The episodes Bikini Bottom After Midnight and Atlantis SquarePantis were dubbed into Hebrew but were shelved in Israel due to its dark, controversial subject matter for the former, and copyright issues and strict negative reception for the latter.
* The series first premiered in Israel on July 1, 2003, the day Nickelodeon Israel was launched.
* Even though Squidward is known as "Squidweed" in most of the Hebrew dub, in earlier episodes in the Hebrew dub he was simply known as "Squid" or "Mr. Squid." The reason for this change is unknown.
	+ In even earlier episodes, he was referred to by his British name, "Mr. Babbleton."
