| "He Lives in a pineapple under the sea; Spongebob Squarepants! Yellow, absorbant, and poreous is he; Spongebob Squarepants!" As a sponge that lives in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob shares the screen with his neighbors and friends, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs, and a not-so-nice Plankton. He has a pet snail whom he calls Gary and works as a fry cook for Mr. Krabs at the Krusty Krab where he is renownd for his Krabby Patties. |
| Plankton is a devious little, well, piece of plankton who is constantly trying to get the secret Krabby Patty formula from Spongebob by decieving him. Plankton's tricks, like Wyle E. Coyote's Acme creations always fail in the end and like any good-natured bad guy, Plankton admits defeat then returns to his home to think up the next scheme. He has the mind of a mad scientist and the will of an evil villain, but his inventions often turn out to be duds, which is good for our hero, Spongebob! |
| Patrick Star is the exception to the intellectually-gifted. As Spongebob's best friend his only real role is to provide bits of comic relief stemming from his idiotic statements and reasonings. His dialogue and tone of voice are matched by none with any sort of intelligence, however, he is perhaps the most likeable character (besides Spongebob himself), in the cartoon. Let's just say that Partick would make anyone feel smarter! |
| Gary, everyones favorite meowing snail, is the uncredited 'King of Comedy.' He always seems to know just when to meow for a laugh and without so much as a sylable has perhaps the greatest comedic role. Amazing how a snail who thinks he's a cat can make you laugh, isn't it?! |
| Sandy is Spongebob's best and only female friend. Originally from Texas, Sandy, a squirrel who lives in a self-contained bubble under the sea and wears an air helmet around Bikini Bottom, enjoys karate and hanging out with Spongebob. This buck- toothed and furry animal shows an "I can do anything you can do" attitude, especially when it comes to being able to live under water. Sandy is courteous and likeable and a symbol to strong women everywhere (not really, she's is, after all, just a cartoon)! |
| Mr. Krabs is the epitome of the entrepenuerial boss. A tight-wad about anything financial, Krabs is a friendly enough businessman who takes pride in the fact that Spongebob makes him so much money. His pirate-like voice only adds to the character of the penny-pinching employer and is also very comedic in itself. Mr. Krabs means well and usually gets his financial rewards. |
| Squidward is the sarcastic neighbor of Spongebob who, like myself, plays the clarinet and enjoys sunbathing out-of-doors. He is often sour and in being so, creates an almost adult sense of likability in that most people can relate to his complaining nature. His sarcasm is what makes him funny and I couldn't imagine him without that nasty sense of humor. |
| Plankton: "Only aggresive people conquer the world!" Gary: "Meow!" Spongebob: "Tartar sauce!" Patrick: "You ate my candybar. Now I'm gonna starve!" Sandy: "Hiyeee-yah!" Mr. Krabs: "Time is money!" |
