SpongeBob SquarePants



SpongeBob SquarePants is an American cartoon centering around a little sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants who lives in a pineapple under the sea in Bikini Bottom with his pet, Gary the Snail. His best friend and across-the-street neighbor is Patrick Star, a sea star who lives under a rock under the sea, and real neighbor is Squidward Quincy Tentacles, an octopus who lives in a moai head under the sea. The titular character, along with Squidward, works at the Krusty Krab, a fast-food restaurant ran by Eugene H. Krabs, a money-hungry crab (or krab) who has a whale as a daughter and lives in an anchor under the sea. The show was produced by Stephen Hillenburg in 1999 under the sea and has been actively airing ever since then.



With its 12th season started in late 2018 and a third movie planned for 2020 by the title of Sponge on the Run, many claim that SpongeBob SquarePants has Lost Its Magic and should be ended before it catches Simpsons' Disease, but it's already a bit too late for that.

SpongeBob SquarePants
"SpongeBob SquarePants, the titular sea sponge of Bikini Bottom, is an energetic young fry cook and driving school student. His sometimes overbearingly positive attitude is a reason why many around him both like and dislike him."

Pro (Score 8)
High Spirits+: SpongeBob is able to maintain a positive mood and state of mind almost at all times, even when the current situation would suggest he shouldn't be.

Physical Endurance++: Being a soft sea sponge, SpongeBob is able to resist the most painful of attacks and accidents without the slightest of an injury. In one episode, he was shown being constantly punched by a school bully, but he didn't notice the tormentor's blows. If he is cut, SpongeBob can easily put himself back together as if the cut never happened.

Work Ethic++: SpongeBob is often shown to be exceedingly skilled at his job, earning the respect of his employer Eugene Krabs. He has never been shown disliking or growing bored of his job, even pining to return to it after he's accumulated too many vacation days and needs to take a break from work.

Con (Score 4)
Bane of Existence+: Even though he bears no ill-will against anyone else, SpongeBob is often considered a pest to others, most notably one of his next-door neighbors Squidward Tentacles. The most vexing part of his character for some is his laugh and seemingly never-ending happiness.

Emotional Fragility: SpongeBob can be upset by very small issues that send him spiraling into a fit of tears or, more rarely, anger.

Familial Bond DOWN: SpongeBob hardly ever interacts with his family, but when he does, it's often only his parents or grandmother who make an appearance. Because of this, little is known about the SquarePants family.

Patrick Star
"Patrick Star is the best friend and a next-door neighbor of the show's lead character, SpongeBob SquarePants. He joins his friend on many journeys and accompanies him in his hobbies."

Pro (Score 1)
Vigor: Although Patrick's physical power is rarely shown, he is able to use it to, for example, repetitively slam a desktop up and down or completely destroy a fair out of anger.

Con (Score 4)
Sloth: A secondary characteristic of Patrick's is his laziness. On top of being unemployedundefined, he can be too lazy to listen to Squidward's song played on his clarinet or watch over a clam baby as a father.

Stupidity++: The characteristic Patrick is best known for is his idiocy. He's too much of a moron at times to see how he's affecting people with either his stupidity or another one of his negative traits. As of later seasons of the show, Patrick's stupidity has only become a worse problem to the point where he harms his best friend SpongeBob out of sheer selfishness or general immaturity. More often than not, Patrick's bad decision-making skills put him and sometimes others at risk of harm around him, most often SpongeBob.

Vanity: Patrick periodically fails to put others before himself. Instances of this are when Patrick refused to share a Krabby Patty toy with SpongeBob, intentionally endangers an extremely rare Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy collectible card, and takes advantage of other people's respect for him after he learns that he is of royal heritage.

Squidward Quincy Tentacles
"Squidward Tentacles is a multi-skilled artist whose main interests range from painting to music to sculpting, but he also takes up gardening as one of his hobbies. This unfortunate cephalopod more often than not finds his largest source of annoyance and outright anger to be his two neighbors SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star."

Pro (Score 3)
Intelligence: Being an octopus, Squidward is naturally and fittingly smart, being one of the most intelligent residents in Bikini Bottom. His sophistication, however, is often overshadowed by the abundant idiocy of others around him.

Mastery of the Arts+: Squidward has at least one work in nearly any imaginable field of art: music, sculpting, stage performance, singing, and painting to name a few. Even though he has numerous talents, Squidward's art is never recognized by the world.

Con (Score 4)
Misfortune+: On top of being unluckily positioned between two of Bikini Bottom's most aggravating citizens, Squidward's misfortune leads him to getting hurt badly by others on purpose or accident, being stranded in an undesirable location, or having his day be ruined by him not getting his way.

Vanity: Squidward, thinking of himself to be a highly-skilled and valuable individual, can be very stuck up at times, living by the belief that he is one of few intelligent people left in the world whose ideas and opinions truly matter unlike those belonging to the other members of society who surround him.

Work Ethic DOWN: Squidward isn't necessarily bad at his job as the Krusty Krab's cashier — he just doesn't care for working it. Instead of working a dead-end job, Squidward aspires to be a great artist whose work can reel in tenfold the money he earns as a fast food restaurant employee.
