The episode, “Kwarantined Crab,” will not air “due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real world pandemic,” Nickelodeon’s executive vice president of communications David Bittler told NBC News.

In the Season 12 episode, a health inspector visits SpongeBob’s workplace, Krusty Krab, and informs workers and customers that there is a case of the “Clam Flu” present. They are subjected to quarantine inside the restaurant, which gives rise to anxiety and panic.Snowflake Kisses Christmas Wishes Svg, Disney Christmas Svg, Mickey Christmas Trip Svg, Disney Svg, Svg Png Dxf Eps AI Instant Download

In addition to “Kwarantined Crab,” a second episode called “Mid-Life Crustacean” from Season 3 will not air. In it, SpongeBob and his friend Patrick, along with SpongeBob’s boss Mr. Krabs, break into a woman’s house and steal her underwear. The episode has been out of the show’s lineup since 2018 “following a standards review in which we determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate,” Bittler said.
