- Sponge: So pick up your life and stuff it back into this trash bag. Come on!
- Sponge: How could you be so dumb?
- Donkeylips: It's not my fault, it's my pocket's fault!
- Sponge: You owned the pants, you own your pocket, it's your fault!
- Donkeylips: No! My mom brought the pants, it's her fault!
- Z.Z.: Look at it this way: cleaning up camp helps the environment!
- Budnick: Look at it this way: zip it!
- Donkeylips: My mom says I'm the right weight.
- Telly: Yeah, if you were nine and a half feet tall.
- Budnick: Hi guys. I come bearing good news.
- Z.Z.: They hung the chef?
- Dina: Either this is some kind of sauce or my bratwurst is sweating.
- Z.Z.: Maybe it's a species of lima bean.
- Michael: I don't think lima beans have little twitching legs.
- Budnick: Wrestling is about dressing up like Sergeant Slaughter and jumping from the top rope
- Donkeylips: I love this guy! He once did a whole show butt-naked!
- Sponge: How could you tell? It's radio!
First Day
[edit]- Michael: Oh they're broken.
- Sponge: Oh no...

Night at the Theatre
[edit]- Budnick: [right after the play ends, and the crowd looks perplexed] You know, if we did Amazon Girls a Go-Go, they'd be dancing in the aisles by now.
- Donkeylips: [rapping] I'm a rappin' mouse, and I live in a house, but they say I'm a louse, so I must be a horse, of course.
Sponge Saga
[edit]- Ug: Hey, hey, hey! I may be blue, but I know a giraffe's tongue is...black.
- Ug: No, sorry honey, I can't see you tonight. Because I'm blue. No, not sad blue. Blue blue. Toilet bowl blue!
- Ug: I don't have to be fair, I'm a counselor!
- Ug: What was in that junk?
- Budnick: Mouthwash, cologne from magazine ads.
- Ug: What else?
- Budnick: Blue tie-dye...

- Ug: No, no, not "sad" blue! "Blue" blue. "Toilet-bowl" blue.
- Michael: There's two types of questions in this world, guy questions and girl questions. Guy questions are things you know, like how tall the Empire State Building is.

- Michael: Or how fast an ostrich runs.
- Sponge: 27 miles per hour.
- Michael: Now, girl questions, well, they're everything else in this world.
- Budnick: Y'know, there's more to life than being smart.
- Sponge: Like what?

Telly & Dina
[edit]- Budnick: It's like when Solomon King had to make his decision.
- Z.Z.: You mean King Solomon, when he had to cut the baby in half?
- Budnick: No, I mean Solomon King...I went to school with the guy.

- Z.Z.: No, no, no, I came for some drills from the woodshop, for my acorn earrings.
- Telly: What about the team?
- Z.Z.: I don't know...I guess I could make earrings for everyone, but I don't think they'll look that great on the guys...see ya.
- Ug: If you wanna be a winner, you have to learn the 4 F's of leadership: fearlessness, fairness, firmness, and control.
- Telly: Control isn't an F.
- Ug: Well then it's...it's 3 Fs and a C.
- Telly: Sounds like Donkeylips' report card.
- Telly: You know what makes us a team?
- Dina: Oh I know, we all wear the same color tank tops.
- Z.Z.: How can nature be out when we all come from the earth?
- Dina: I do not come from the earth...I come from New York.
The Clinic
[edit]- Michael: What are you doing?
- Budnick: I'm giving you a wuss hat!

- Ug: Which half?
- [police siren is heard]
- Ug: We've already gone two hundred miles, Z.Z. are you holding the map right?
- Z.Z.: Oh...yeah...
- Donkeylips: Hey cool, There's a machine that sells balloons in here!
- Sponge: Let me see.
- Donkeylips: I can't.

Treasure of Sara Madre
[edit]- Telly: You guys fell for an amazing, blazing, flying, double back burn.
- Z.Z.: Losing a friend over a little bit of treasure just isn't worth it to me. I found the treasure, it’s mine, It’s all mine! Look, an old park ranger’s badge...
- Michael: Badges? we don’t need no stinkin’ badges...
- Ug: There is a very deep hole in the middle of my infield. Eventually, the hole will fill up with water and the scum will float to the top! Then, Bobby Budnick, you will be mine!
- Budnick: I’ve struck gold, I’ve struck silver, I’ve struck...a water main.
- Budnick: A file, huh? I’ll file him under ‘D’ for ‘Dead Donkey’.
- Dina: Come on, Budnick, you’re our friend, and you can’t put money over friendship. Oh, listen to me.

Season 2
[edit]Telly and the Tennis Match
[edit]- Ug: My pepper's moving.
- [Ug looks around to see that the black pepper is actually ants from Sponge's ant farm, then begins vomiting offscreen]
- Sponge: Genocide. He ate an entire city, didn't he realize?
- Donkeylips: Man, I never saw Ug power puke like that. Down at the fishing dock, on Dr. Kahn's sofa, the chapel, everywhere.
- Sponge: Everyone gone in just one bite: the mayor, the police department...
- Donkeylips: You know, I wonder if they'll be able to hose down the tennis court for tomorrow's match.
The Wrath of Kahn, Jr.
[edit]- Ug: [dejected] Oh gosh. I'm through. That's it. I might as well turn in my whistle for good. Thanks a lot, guys, for ruining my whole camp career.

- [Ug drops the sports equipment in defeated shock]
