Since its debut on May 1, 1999, *SpongeBob SquarePants* has aired over 200 episodes. However, several episodes of the series entered production but were never completed.

## Pearl's origin

An untitled special episode about Template:Data:Links's origin and the identity of her mother, Mrs. Krabs, was written at one point. A script was made, but before the episode got produced, Stephen Hillenburg vetoed the episode; one of his main rules for the show was to never reveal Pearl's mother.

On June 3, 2015, Vincent Waller said on Twitter: "We tried [to make the episode], but the story idea was nixed by Steve. He liked to keep it a mystery."

On July 16, 2015, he elaborated: "Do you mean the truth of her origin? An outline was written once, but it was set aside. Never approved." When a fan suggested possible origins, he said: "You're not the first to try, including writing staff. Steve says NO to any and all explanations [of] Pearl's origin."

On December 30, 2016, he confirmed that the episode would never be made.

## "SpaceBob InvaderPants" and "Krabs' Army"

These were two episodes that entered production during Template:Data:Links. They were announced sometime in 2014. When the writing staff moved to work on *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water*, both episodes were "shelved." This means they were put aside and never revisited.

On September 4, 2015, Vincent Waller said that the episodes were real but that they would not be completed. He explained that the crew felt that their plots were not good enough to be made into finished episodes.

On July 19, 2017, Waller confirmed that "SpaceBob InvaderPants" did not make it past storyboards. He also said that the storyboards were "locked away" and would not be revealed to the public or remade into a modern episode.

On July 5, 2018, he confirmed that voices for the episodes were never recorded.

## "Krusty Krab Bed 'N' Breakfast"

This episode title was listed on Nickelodeon Poland's sitemap. When asked about it, Vincent Waller said it was going to be produced, just under a different title. However, no episode about a bed-and-breakfast has been made since. He said: "That is an old working title, it has been renamed, but I am sworn to secrecy as to its new title....for now."

## "A Day in the Life of Plankton"

According to Adam Paloian on Twitter, this was an episode revolving around Plankton and what he does when he is not trying to steal the Secret Formula. There are a few thumbnails about Plankton eating a grape. However, Adam Paloian never pitched the idea.

## Chronology

### File:Arrow Right.pngNext

"[[Template:Data:Shorts]]"

"**Untitled Ren and Stimpy SpongeBob short**" was a cancelled project by John Kricfalusi that was originally meant to be released as part of the *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water* movie.

### Plot

The short involved Sven and Stimpy having a good time watching *SpongeBob SquarePants* on TV, which angered Ren, who thinks adult cartoons like "The Stimpsons" are smarter. SpongeBob has made an announcement on television that, in theaters this Christmas, he will star in his upcoming movie *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water*.

During the Christmas season, Ren, Stimpy, and Sven all watch *Sponge Out of Water* in a movie theater, and when the movie is over, Ren starts to cry, saying it was a beautiful cartoon, finally making him realize that even adults can find fun in children's media.

Stimpy gives Ren a sponge bath, which he is happy about, until he finds out Sven has farted in his tub.

### Trivia

* The short was not finished, but it was included as a special feature on the *Cans Without Labels* DVD.
* The short likely took place in 2014, because in this short The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was released in December 2014, which was originally meant to be the actual release date for the film, but in real life, it was released in February 2015.
