List of VHSes

This is a list of SpongeBob SquarePants VHS tapes.

Themed Videos

These usually contain 5 randomly picked episodes (4 if the release has a double-length episode). Several of the earliest such videos were combined into singular DVD releases containing episodes from 2 VHS releases (this was standard practice for Nickelodeon at the time). The episodes are from any of the first four seasons; depending on the release, the episodes may be from a single season or from multiple seasons. The first movie also had a VHS release of its own.

Episodes titles in bold denote double-length episodes. Episode titles in italic denote episodes that were featured on a VHS release before being broadcast (titles of movies and individual VHSes are also italicized).
