SpongeBob SquarePants: Gary Takes a Bath (Temporary UK and Australian Ban)

"Gary Takes a Bath" is an oddball season 2 SpongeBob episode, partially because it is the only episode in that season to not be at-least 11-minutes.

This episode got banned in Australia and the UK until September 2008 due to a joke about SpongeBob putting down some soap and telling Gary "don't drop them." This also meant its sister-episode "Shanghaied" couldn't be aired.

It was also almost banned in the US, but was eventually allowed to air there. The ban in Australia and UK was also eventually lifted.

Another scene earlier in the episode was also cut from some international airings. When SpongeBob tries to use subliminal messages to get Gary to take a bath, a creepy girl appears, with SpongeBob then saying Gary wasn't meant to see it.
