SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants (born July 14, 1986; age 28) is the main protagonist, and the eponymous character, of the Nickelodeon animated comedy series of the same name. He was designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. SpongeBob is a childish, joyful, eccentric sea sponge who lives in a pineapple in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. He works as a fry cook at The Krusty Krab, a job that he is exceptionally skilled in. SpongeBob lacks a lot of knowledge and is a constant annoyance to those around him (especially Squidward Tentacles), but he is very good-natured. He appears in all of the episodes in the series, and he is Nickelodeon's main mascot.

Appearance
SpongeBob SquarePants is a cute sea sponge, but he is drawn to resemble a kitchen sponge, being rectangular and bright yellow with a dark brown outline. In earlier episodes, he is wider near the top and gets skinnier going further down. However, in episodes that are more recent, he is more of a regular square shape. SpongeBob has large blue eyes, a long, slightly curved nose, a large mouth with two prominent front buck teeth, and dimples with three freckles on each cheek. He typically wears a white shirt with a red tie, black leather shoes with shoelaces, and brown rectangular pants with a black belt (the entire outfit is sometimes referred to as his "pants", hence his name). While working at the Krusty Krab, he wears a tall, white hat with a small blue anchor on it as a uniform. SpongeBob sometimes sleeps in his underwear, and at other times pajamas beginning in Season 5).

Personality
SpongeBob is a clueless, abnormal, immature, fun loving and hyperactive character with a happy-go-lucky personality. He is an extremely determined person, and will often stop at nothing to accomplish a task. He is also somewhat dramatic to the people who are kind to him, for example, to the mailfish. "Karate Island" He is also over-confident. Sometimes, though, he shows his devious side when trying to get Mr. Krabs and Plankton to work together. He sometimes tends to make mountains out of molehills, such as losing his nametag. "Missing Identity."

SpongeBob is very kind-hearted and innocent, and very rarely acts openly mean to anyone, even his enemies. He is a very selfless and loyal person, especially towards those close to him. His selfless nature is most notably shown in "Best Day Ever," where he sacrifices his "perfect day" to help his friends. Despite his well-meaning intentions, SpongeBob's actions often annoy and cause trouble for those around him, most notably his next-door neighbor, Squidward Tentacles.

SpongeBob can become scared easily and usually panics when frightened. He is afraid of the dark (or what is in the dark) and clowns. Occasionally, SpongeBob is too ignorant to notice impending danger and his unworldly thinking may put himself or others in peril. He also cannot detect lies or malice information as easy as the other characters, mainly due to his naive nature.

SpongeBob's innocence also makes him overly trusting and very gullible, and he is easily manipulated by people who intend to use and/or harm him, such as Squidward, Mr. Krabs andPlankton; most noticeably, he is always easily fooled by Plankton no matter how bizarre or obvious his disguises are. Even though he is generally good-natured and easygoing, when frustrated and angered, SpongeBob can be sarcastic, rude and 'foul-mouthed' to his friends, even Mr. Krabs, whom he treats as a father figure. Ironically, Squidward is the only character that SpongeBob never insults when he is angry; with the exception of the episodes "Can You Spare a Dime?" and "Breath of Fresh Squidward."

Although SpongeBob has several friends, and many of the citizens of Bikini Bottom often treat him quite friendly, most, if not all, citizens of Bikini Bottom have been shown to have some degree of dislike for him. In the episode "Gone," it is shown that a holiday called "National No SpongeBob Day" has been started by the citizens of Bikini Bottom. As its name suggests, it is an entire day dedicated to getting away from SpongeBob, where the people leave Bikini Bottom for the day. Even Patrick goes, stating that everyone needs at least one day away from SpongeBob's laughter. In the ceremony, they build a giant wooden effigy of SpongeBob, burn it down, dance on the ashes (though some, like Squidward, are actually shown kicking the ashes), and depart Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob is more honored than insulted by this, as he was the "inspiration" for the holiday.

Sometimes, SpongeBob is a nudist. In which he has a tendency to take off his clothes whenever he wants to. He was shown naked in "Ripped Pants," "Nature Pants," "The Paper," "Hooky," "Pranks a Lot," "All That Glitters," "Rise and Shine," "Overbooked," and "Model Sponge." SpongeBob got nude when he wanted to live with the jellyfish in Nature Pants. In addition, in "Model Sponge," SpongeBob got undressed when he is used in a sponge commercial. In Pranks a Lot, SpongeBob and Patrick had to strip in order to use the invisible spray. In Overbooked, during the presentation, he is requested to undress and enter the machine.

SpomgeBob-Patrick Relationship
As the protagonists of the show and next door neighbors, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star thicker as friends than a nail to its finger. Though the two might not be the brightest bulbs in the socket, SpongeBob and Patrick make one heck of a team, though most of the time their wacky antics only serve to land them in deep water without even trying. Though the two are inseparable almost every waking moment, there have been times where the two have not been the closest buds (For example, in "Naughty Nautical Neighbors," the two end up in a fight started by Squidward Tentacles.) The list is mentioned below for the number of times the two have fought.

Thickness of Friendship
SpongeBob and Patrick, as revealed in the episode "The Secret Box," have been friends since their babyhood. The two have been certified members of the Best Friends Forever Club" since they were little, and to signify it, haverings of the club. Another reason SpongeBob might be staying with Patrick might be cause of his friend Patrick staying alone. SpongeBob is one of the very few people who don't slyly criticize Patrick for his brainlessness, and instead is the only one who think Patrick is smarter than himself (The reasons he considers him a good advisor). He is also very giving and selfless to Patrick, as there have been times where SpongeBob even lent him his brain without thinking twice. Patrick, though usually emotionless, becomes very sad when SpongeBob befalls some bad fate, and does his best to his extent to help and advice him. In the episode "Home Sweet Pineapple," Patrick allows SpongeBob to sleep in his Rock with him, leave alone the bad results. The two often repent their mistakes after they fight, and usually get bored if one of them is not around, and starts crying.

Favorite activities

 * Jellyfishing - SpongeBob and Patrick's favorite time pass. SpongeBob has the knowledge and Patrick has more skill, and together they spend a lot of time catching Jellyfish, taking jam, then letting them go.


 * Watching Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy - The two absolutely love the old show, and in the episode "Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy," the two get their heroes out of retirement, and even love them to the point that they are oblivious to the fact that the newer series on the television is not as interesting They also pretend to be Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in the same episode.
 * Snowball Fighting - In "Snowball Effect," the two start a snowball fight, to the point that some of their snowballs go into Squidward's house and break his lime tea and put out the fireplace. However, the two eventually drive Squid into the state that he throws snowballs at no one in particular, shouting battle and victory cries, to which the duo are oblivious.
 * Ruining Squid's Day - In "Home Sweet Pineapple," SpongeBob, upon learning that his house is actually shrinking, calls squidward in an attempt of vain,to which he asks "Is it time already for you to ruin my day?," and when his Shellphone too shrinks away, Squidward says " Yep, I guess it is!". Patrick, who hears all the commotion, opens his rock and asks, " Hey Sponge, is it time already to ruin Squid's Day? Don't start without me!," and rushes out wearing a suit and a bowtie for the occasion, which hints that the two actually might not be annoying Squidward innocently.But it is possible that it may be for another cause and they are too stupid to know what are they saying.
 * Doing "Good Deeds" - SpongeBob, who constantly does stuff to "help" people, asks Patrick often for his wise advice, which makes the situation worse.
 * Visiting Glove World - On several occasions, the two go to glove world amusement park, usually for heck and/or dangerous rides. In "Tunnel of Glove," SpongeBob accidentally ends up in a love boat with Pearl and the ride suddenly stops, while Patrick restlessly looks for, and eventually "Finds SpongeBob"(actually a power device for the tunnel system resembling his best friend, which he breaks away with, causing more trouble and finally getting SpongeBob and Pearl out). However, Patrick is completely oblivious, and gives his "Best Friend" some junk food, insisting him to eat it.
 * Eating out and Partying at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat - In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, they go to a kid's ice cream parlor, where they have goober meals (a burger and a drink) and Triple Gooberberry Sunrise ice creams, and party out with the other kids and hit the stage with Goofy Goober Peanut himself.
 * Bubble Blowing - SpongeBob and Patrick are expert (though mostly Patrick has zero talent) bubble blowers. The two have taken the art of blowing bubbles to the level of sending voice messages in them (Naughty Nautical Neighbors) and blowing bubbles in the form of objects or animals (Bubblestand), for which SpongeBob has a technique. In Atlantis SquarePantis, SpongeBob has a high tech bubble soap and a wand for blowing a massive pink bubble, which takes them to the caves of Bikini Bottom.


 * Golfing - In "A Friendly Game," SpongeBob and Patrick were prepared to go play miniature golf. Unfortunately, their day was ruined by the change in weather. So the two create their own mini-golf course inside SpongeBob's house. Patrick is shown to be very competitive when participating in golf, and has been seen trying to make SpongeBob mess up his aim.
 * Arts & Crafts - In "The Googly Artiste," SpongeBob and Patrick were seen making a wooden birdhouse, woven baskets and crafts, and rocks with googly eyes.

Squidward gets sick of this and invites them both to a dinner party at his house, in an attempt to get them to be friends again, as them being enemies is worse for him than them being friends. At the dinner party, the two blow up Squidward's house with soda bubbles while he is gone, and become friends again, while Squidward kicks them both out of his house.

SpongeBob-Pearl Relationship
SpongeBob, being naive and gullible, usually does not understand whatPearl thinks of him. The two characters occasionally interact with each other, usually when Mr. Krabs is involved.

Their opinion about each other
In earlier episodes, SpongeBob and Pearl seem quite friendly to each other, such as in Bossy Boots, where they take over business at the Kuddly Krab and Pearl later kisses SpongeBob on the cheek.

However, in later episodes such as The Slumber Party, Pearl disliked SpongeBob, and she acts more crude and harsh as the series progressed. Though later in Tunnel of Glove, Pearl and SpongeBob bonded over fear and worked together to escape the broken down ride.

The Chaperone
This is the first time where Pearl interacts with SpongeBob (or at least a dummy of him). When Pearl has nobody to take her to the prom, Mr. Krabs volunteers SpongeBob to go with her. Pearl, at first, felt uncomfortable. While SpongeBob tried his best to impress her, he was inadvertently making things worse. When he realizes what he has done, he runs away crying. Feeling sorry for him, Pearl brings SpongeBob his confidence back, and the two have a wonderful time by dancing together. Despite that the prom was a total disaster, Pearl was impressed by SpongeBob and kissed him.

Bossy Boots
When Pearl came to the Krusty Krab, she and SpongeBob immediately bonded making changes to the restaurant, much to Squidward's disapproval. This would not last, as SpongeBob soon became dismayed about Pearl getting rid of Krabby Patties, his grill, and his spatula, and making him wear a silly costume. He soon learns that Pearl only did this to make her father happy, so SpongeBob helps out by "firing" her. Pearl then kisses SpongeBob before running off to the mall with her friends.

The Slumber Party
As SpongeBob tried constant attempts to get into Pearl's slumber party, she and the other girls kept kicking him out. He was eventually let in, only to be locked in Mr. Krabs' root beer cellar for ruining the party. After he accidentally wrecks everything, Pearl throws another party at Goo Lagoon, not inviting SpongeBob or Mr. Krabs, though SpongeBob didn't seem to mind.

Pearl was considerably meaner to SpongeBob in this episode in contrast to earlier ones, and has a different perspective of him. A particular example was when Pearl compared SpongeBob to Mr. Krabs, calling him "a no-good, dried-up, old fuddy-duddy". Previously in Bossy Boots, Pearl called SpongeBob the very opposite: being full of style and fashion.

Tunnel of Glove
At first, Pearl was angry at SpongeBob for talking to her, while Pearl's friends teased her by calling SpongeBob her "boyfriend". She is disappointed about being paired with SpongeBob in the ride. When it shuts down, SpongeBob gets scared, though Pearl thought he was being ridiculous. But Pearl eventually became scared as well, bonding with SpongeBob. The two work together to fight off the malfunctioning robots and escape the tunnel.

Despite what they have been through, Pearl says that the ride was actually fun. This may likely indicate that she regained her interest with SpongeBob.

Hooky
When SpongeBob got captured by a hook, Pearl laughs at him. These are the 4 reasons Pearl might of laughed at him:
 * 1) She enjoyed watching SpongeBob being scared
 * 2) She knew it was a joke and she found it funny
 * 3) She never wanted to see SpongeBob again
 * 4) She and her friends saw him nude (after that his underwear ripped off when he was clinging the Krusty Krabs' sign trying to make sure he wasn't going to be in dragged to the surface then put into a gift shop or packaged as a food product and gotten flung accidently to the restaurants' doors) which extremely embarrassed him

Barnacle Face
Pearl end up having a barnacle on her face before her school dance. SpongeBob tried to help her get rid of the barnacle of the face but it wasn't coming off. Pearl end up getting more barnacles when she just use soap and water. They both find out the soap was made out of left over krabby patties thanks to Mr. Krabs, Pearl start to cry when her dance was supposed to be time to "sparkle" it gave SpongeBob an idea to cover her face with Mr. Krabs jewels, and Pearl friends love her new look. This may cause Pearl to like SpongeBob more.

SpongeBob-Squidward Relationship
Throughout the course of the series, Squidward is usually shown to have a considerable dislike towards his neighbors, SpongeBob SquarePants andPatrick, for constantly ruining his day and driving him up the wall with their annoying antics and annoying things. This dislike would grow in the Paul Tibbittera, as SpongeBob and Patrick became increasingly obnoxious, stalkerish, psychopathic, Chris-chan lite man babies towards Squidward and he would often get punished for their antics despite doing nothing wrong. Though, once in a while, Squidward has occasionally shown kindness towards SpongeBob and Patrick under certain circumstances.

Relationship with SpongeBob
As seen in Truth or Square, Squidward was once living a happy life in Bikini Bottom with a fancy garden next to his house. One day, a pineapple fell off a boat and crushed his garden, immediately becoming the home of SpongeBob SquarePants after he moved into the neighborhood. Patrick appeared to have already been living next door to Squidward sometime prior to the incident.

SpongeBob seems to be the character most hated by Squidward, probably until the end of the episode Restraining SpongeBob where Squidward releases him from the order and places Patrick there instead, even though Squidward still hates SpongeBob a lot. SpongeBob is usually oblivious to Squidward's hatred of him, and is often very nice to Squidward despite this. SpongeBob has kissed Squidward twice in the series (in Can You Spare a Dime? and again in Dear Vikings), and has even quoted that he "likes" Squidward after saying his name twice in 20,000 Patties Under the Sea.

In spite of SpongeBob's friendly nature, there have been a few instances where he has been rude or mean to Squidward. A notable example is in Can You Spare a Dime?, where he makes several attempts to make Squidward leave his house after knowing that that he has been taking advantage of his kindness, to the point of furiously rushing to the Krusty Krab while pushing Squidward on his bed. Another example is in Employee of the Month, where the two compete against each other while trying to reach the Krusty Krab, creating traps along the way.

Biography
According to his driver's license in the episodes "Sleepy Time" and "No Free Rides," SpongeBob was born on July 14, 1986.

SpongeBob SquarePants lives with his pet snail Gary in a large pineapple-shaped house on 124 Conch Street,Bikini Bottom. His next-door neighbor, Squidward Tentacles, who lives in an Easter Island head, hates SpongeBob and is constantly annoyed by his antics. SpongeBob is oblivious to this, and believes Squidward to be his friend. Beside Squidward's house is the home of SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick Star, who literally lives under a rock.

SpongeBob works at the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's most popular restaurant, where he is a fry cook and prepares all food served at the Krusty Krab, most notably Krabby Patties. The first episode of the series depicts SpongeBob applying for and being hired to this job. He says that it has been his lifelong dream to join the Krusty Crew, and that only now is he "ready". When he applies for the job, Squidward and Mr. Krabs, wanting no part of him, send him on a fool's errand for a "hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive". While he is out searching for one, several hundred hungry anchovies arrive and overwhelm Squidward and Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob soon returns, having actually found a hydrodynamic spatula, and saves their lives by feeding the anchovies, showing off his amazing cooking skills in the process.

SpongeBob's house is an orange pineapple with fully furnished windows and doors and even a gas pipe. Apparently when he first moved to Bikini Bottom, he viewed many different houses, but none seem to his liking. Just as he was about to give up, a pineapple from a boat above the water, falls into the sea and land onto the space that was Squidward’s garden where Squidward was still gardening in. He loves the house and buys it, leaving Squidward in misery by losing his garden and having SpongeBob living next to him.

SpongeBob is not only extremely good at his job, being able to produce a Krabby Patty within seconds, but has a strong passion and an abnormal love for it; something of a workaholic, he enjoys his job more than any other activity, and is saddened whenever he cannot be at work. He is also obsessed by Krabby Patties themselves; on numerous occasions, he has proclaimed them the best food in the world and in "Just One Bite" and "Shuffleboarding," he is shocked and horrified to see one thrown away. SpongeBob is one of the few characters to have fingers and the only main character to wear shoes. He is apparently very good at his job because he is the Vice Assistant General Manager of Certain Things (Stanley S. SquarePants). He also has been shown making a perfect Krabby Patty on his first try when he was a baby.

SpongeBob's skills as a fry cook could accurately be described as superhuman; in episodes such as "Help Wanted" and "Employee of the Month," he is seen making them at rates of hundreds or even thousands per minute. He has won 374 consecutive Employee of the Month awards at the Krusty Krab. In "Friend or Foe," it is shown that SpongeBob, as an infant, made a perfect patty on his first attempt. In "Neptune's Spatula," he is able to pull the Golden Spatula from the grease, making him the "chosen one" of King Neptune. In that same episode, it is shown that the burgers made by Neptune himself are horrible compared to SpongeBob's.

Squidward, the restaurants only other employee, runs the cashier and takes orders. Squidward is the polar opposite of SpongeBob; he hates his job (as well as the Krusty Krab itself) and performs it poorly. The employer of SpongeBob and Squidward, Eugene H. Krabs, is extremely greedy, selfish and abusive of his employees. He pays them extremely poorly, far below legal minimum wage, and is unhealthily obsessed with money. Despite this, SpongeBob is unquestioning of Mr. Krabs and looks up to him as an authority figure.

While not working, SpongeBob spends much of his time playing with his best friend, Patrick Star. Like SpongeBob, Patrick is childish, moronic and fun loving. The two have known each other since early childhood, and are members of the "Best Friends Forever Club".

Their usual activities include Jellyfishing, bubble blowing, and various others.Their antics are of constant annoyance to their neighbor, Squidward, on numerous occasions, has been put in harm's way as a direct result of their actions. Despite Squidward openly hating SpongeBob and Patrick, they are completely oblivious to this and believe they are his best friends. SpongeBob and Patrick's favorite superheroes are Mermaid Man andBarnacle Boy, who they convinced to come out of retirement.

SpongeBob's other best friend is a squirrel from Texas named Sandy Cheeks, who wears a special suit and helmet to survive underwater. SpongeBob first met Sandy when he saw her wrestling a giant clam, which he helped her defeat. Sandy then invited SpongeBob to her home, an airtight terrarium known as the Treedome, and SpongeBob, not knowing what air is, accepts. When he comes to the Treedome and realizes that there is no water, he begins drying up and attempts to survive without water, telling himself that he does not need it and that "Water is for quitters!" Eventually, however, he gives in and starts panicking. Eventually, Sandy gives SpongeBob and Patrick bowls of water to wear over their heads, which they typically wear whenever they visit the Treedome.

Unlike Patrick, Sandy is very intelligent, both technologically and practically, but is tolerant of SpongeBob's stupidity and enjoys his company, and in some episodes, it is implied that Sandy has even raised SpongeBob's intelligence considerably. They enjoy doing extreme sports together, most notably Karate. SpongeBob's skill in karate is shown to vary considerably between episodes. At times, he equals and even outmatches Sandy in skill, while at other times he is incompetent to the point where Sandy can send him flying a considerable distance with a single punch; in "Karate Island," Sandy openly states that her karate skills are better than SpongeBob's by "a country mile." SpongeBob on various occasions, has been hinted to have a crush on Sandy, even though SpongeBob staff disproves this. SpongeBob also attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School, where he is periodically tested for his driver's license. However, he becomes extremely nervous and reckless when behind the wheel of a boat, and has consistently failed his test countless times, often injuring Mrs. Puff and/or damaging the school and/or the entirety of Bikini Bottom in the process. According to the episode "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired," SpongeBob has failed the exam 1,258,056 times, and is the only creature in the history of the school to fail the test. In that same episode, Mrs. Puff describes SpongeBob as "unteachable". Despite his inability to drive a boat properly, SpongeBob has been shown to be able to drive/ride various other things capably, including a rock, a rocket ship, a sandwich car, and a submarine. SpongeBob claims that he does know how to drive, but simply panics behind the wheel and cannot concentrate. In "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired," SpongeBob receives extremely good training from Mrs. Puff's extremely tough military-esque replacement and learns how to drive capably, but can only do so while blindfolded due to the teacher's strict drills and very specific teaching methods.
