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, 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's Influence On American Culture
SpongeBob SquarePants has been noted by many sources as one of the greatest shows of all time. It spawned many lovable quotes, celebrated moments, and... memes. Dear God, the memes. In spite of being a kid's show, people of all ages have found themselves enjoying the little underwater square man and his little underwater not square friends do things on their TVs.

Characters
The Chihuahua - Sheldon J. Plankton. Despite his small stature, this copepod really believes he could rule the world or efficiently run an eating establishment single-handedly. Another one of his plans involves making multiple attempts at stealing the Krabby Patty formula, Eugene Krabs' most prized possession, and selling Krabby Patties from his restaurant, the Chum Bucket.

The Dumbass - Patrick Star. There are numerous occurrences where Patrick's stupidity is displayed. Even entire episodes have been produced in the name of his dumb-ass. But even though Patrick can be a moron at times, he can also be easygoing and kind-natured to others.

The Joo - Eugene Krabs. He doesn't give two pennies about who he pushes aside to get two pennies. He'd even forces his own two employees into free labor, nearly breaks a man's arm for a penny (which then leads to literal penny pinching), and sells his own soul to the Flying Dutchman so then he could talk to money. It's already bad enough that he has a long, crooked nose...

The Main - SpongeBob SquarePants. The one who the title warned us about. You know, the little soft quadrilateral constructed of some spongy material and wearing pants that oddly fuse with a shirt and tie?

The Nice Guy - SpongeBob SquarePants. It's been shown to us many times that SpongeBob is a well-meant soul who will only be cruel when pushed to his very, very, very extreme limits.

The Pitied - Squidward Tentacles. Poor Squid's been through some hardships, mainly due to SpongeBob and Patrick screwing everything up for him. The only thing the man wants to do is have the world recognize him as an artist, a musician, a dancer, a sophisticated individual, but he barely even gets to be on stage and be given a chance.

The Smartass - Squidward Tentacles. Although most Smartasses aren't actually smart, Squidward really is. What would you expect from an octopus? Squidward's smarts haven't been shown as clearly in the earlier seasons than they are in the later ones as he is possibly the smartest resident of Bikini Bottom by far compared to everyone else's stupidity. This might be why he's a Pitied... The reason why Squidward counts as both a Smartass and The Smart One is because he's made multiple smart aleck comments in response to SpongeBob, Patrick, or anyone else being dumb.

The Smart One


 * Squidward Tentacles. Squidward is, in comparison to almost anyone else in Bikini Bottom, smart. Despite his intelligence rarely getting him anywhere except deeper into his loathing for everybody around him, Squidward has accomplished many sophisticated things—such as painting and sculpting (mainly himself)—as well as other achievements that would have taken most other Bikini Bottomites dozens of years to do.


 * Sandy Cheeks. A scientist squirrel, Sandy has been shown from day one to be a genius. She's countered SpongeBob and Patrick's idiotic hijinks on more occasions than we can count. She also lends a hand (err, paw?) when she can to the other residents of Bikini Bottom with her machines.

The Teen Girl - Pearl Krabs. Like with any other character that falls under this UnTrashed role, Pearl would rather keep up with the times than spend a wholesome day with her old man Krabs who "embarrasses" her with his krab antics. Well, she's the mammal who's the daughter of a crustacean. Just saying.

Misc.
There Are Only Three Seasons - The first three seasons of SpongeBob were the only ones most people truly cared about (including The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), which is the reason why There Are Only Three Seasons is called what it is. From that moment on, everything else was either mediocre or bad. Season 9 has been hammered multiple times to be SpongeBob's lowest point.

Meme The Franchise - If you know anything about SpongeBob SquarePants, one of the first things you'll know is that it's notorious for its infinite shitload of memes. Just about all of the characters from the main cast (and even some background characters) have at least one meme in their name. For starters, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs have too many memes the Internet people created; Plankton, Sandy, Gary, and Mrs. Puff have some memes; and even the painting from the intro, Painty the Pirate, has his lines "Are ya ready, kids?" and "I can't hear you!" messed around with by YouTube Poopers on occasion (along with the kids' lines in response).

The Internets, Media, And You - YouTube Poop. Aside from being the source of oh-so many memes, SpongeBob SquarePants is also the #1 source for YTPs, being used by 19% of Poops. And considering how many Poops there are out there, that's saying a lot.

Trivia

 * SpongeBob SquarePants is the first franchise to have a page in its name feature on UnTrash Wiki, also making it the first Multi and primarily TV Show Multi.
