Censorship[]
On MBC3, some episodes have been censored. As seasons 5-9 were commissioned for said channel, the episodes were dubbed with censorship and had to be redubbed when they aired uncut on Nickelodeon.
- The main Nickelodeon Arabia channel used to air the MBC3 version of season 8 episodes, but they later began to air uncensored; on Nicktoons Arabia, the episodes were always uncensored.
- In "Truth or Square," the wedding scene was cut on MBC3, while on Nicktoons Arabia, the scene aired uncut with the re-dubbed version.
- Some episodes from season 7 and 8 were banned entirely, specifically "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!," "Gary in Love" and "Love That Squid". When Nickelodeon Arabia relaunched, the Christmas episodes premiered in 2015 during a Christmas marathon.
- Vulgar humour is cut, such as the butt jokes in the episode "A Friendly Game."
- In most of the episodes, the Krusty Krab's front side was cut on MBC3 as the nautical flag "Romeo" was believed to look like a Christian cross. Some episodes had the flag recoloured fully red.
From season 6, episode 115a. Scenes like this were censored already on MBC 3. After Nicktoons Arabia launched, season 6 was aired uncut and was entirely re-dubbed.
"A Friendly Game" episode "Re-dub" Butt Jokes Uncut
"A Friendly Game" episode "Re-dub" Patrick Takes a Bath Uncut
"Oral Report" episode "Re-dub"
"The Curse of the Hex" episode "Re-dub"
-إعادة-نشر- مقارنة - المواجهة الثلجية - سبونج بوب الموسم الثامن
"Frozen Face-Off" Episode "Re-dub"
"Move It or Lose It" is the last episode to be re-dubbed in season 8
Nick Arabia re-dub (2015–present)[]
On Nickelodeon Arabia, most of the season 5 and 7 episodes aired late with a re-dubbed version because of all of the MBC 3 censored version. On Nicktoons Arabia, all the episodes of season six were aired full and uncut (same actors - studio..etc.)
- Episodes like "Gary in Love" and "Love That Squid" are dubbed by the beginning of 2017, and for the first time premiered once since Nicktoons Arabia launched. All of season 8 is re-dubbed and fixed, but some title cards had changed like "Frozen Face-Off." For the rest of the season, they kept all title cards as they aired on MBC 3. The last episodes to be re-dubbed are "The Good Krabby Name"/"Move It or Lose It."
- In 2022, few episodes of the third season were redubbed and aired on Nicktoons. The redubbed season 3 episodes would later air on Nickelodeon on 2024.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the Bokra dub, this one is legally produced and authorized by Paramount.
