SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy's Beach Bash!

The title card is similar to "Mid-Life Crustacean" and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. The background is especially similar to "Band Geeks," "A Life in a Day," and "Patchy's Playlist."

This special aired on January 4, 2020, but on the Nickelodeon TV schedule, it says October 5, 2019. The latter is when it was originally supposed to air.

This is the first special and first SpongeBob-related material to premiere in 2020 and the 2020s decade.

This is The Guy on the Penny's first appearance in a decade since "Truth or Square" in 2009.

In the theme song, the animation of SpongeBob rearranging himself is replaced by fan favorite clips from the series and the episodes show are: "Little Yellow Book" "Ugh" "Jellyfish Jam" (Twice) "Bubblestand" (Twice) "The Slumber Party" "Bubble Buddy Returns" "Squirrel Jokes" "Idiot Box" The credits are played in the beginning clip on Bikini Atoll. This is the second Patchy the Pirate-themed SpongeBob special in one month, the first being "Patchy's Playlist." Similarly, they were both countdowns; that was of songs, and this is for moments. The bubble transitions play much faster than usual.
