Apparently, there are a lot of marine biology in-jokes in the show. I can't think of any right now. Does anyone know of any in particular? If so then list them here.

Yeah. The episode Fungus Among Us is based on a type of fungus pronounced "amungis."

Also, since Stephen Hillenberg is a marine biologist, of course it would be cool to combine work and fun.

Patrick's stupidity.

I read somewhere that actual starfish don't have brains, hence the gag.

The sea shanty "Blow The Man Down" is used alot, including in episodes I Was A Teenage Gary, Krusty Krab Training Video, Wet Painters, and the theme song is based on Blow The Man Down.

And a version of What Should We Do With A Drunken Sailor?

Many episodes have this. Title cards, and background music.
