The tattletale frog series#
Like many other cartoon characters, SpongeBob has been shown to have numerous extraordinary abilities and attributes throughout the series (even though physically weak). He is sometimes seen as Nickelodeon's mascot and is one of the most popular fictional characters distributed by Nickelodeon. However, they are both unaware of this and believe him to be their closest friend. Their middle neighbor is Squidward Tentacles, a grumpy, ill-tempered, and self-centered octopus who lives in an Easter Island Tiki head-shaped house and hates both SpongeBob and Patrick with a passion because of their annoying antics, maturity you would expect from a sponge and starfish, and them always ruining his day. SpongeBob also cares for his loyal pet snail, Gary, who only meows like a cat, and loves hanging out with his best brainless friend, Patrick Star, a friendly but dim-witted pink sea star who lives under a rock. Like from the episode The Bully, he started getting petrified of getting his butt kicked from new student Flatts the Flounder.īut it was turned out that like a sponge, he did not get hurt much after all. He is also a leader, he loves his job very much and performs it very well, even though his greedy cheap boss Mr. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab Restaurant in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob is hard-working, optimistic, hyper, fun-loving, kind-hearted, clueless, honest, naive and friendly. He lives in a pineapple house in the fictional underwater town of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob doesn't seem to be very bright (although he is much smarter than his starfish friend). In the first episode, he applied as the fry cook of Krusty Krab, under the employment of Mr. According to his driver's license, SpongeBob's birth date was on July 14, 1986, making him 35 years old in Season 13. SpongeBob was born to Harold SquarePants and Margaret Bubblebottom. SpongeBob is an anthropomorphic kitchen-type sponge with two buck teeth, blue eyes, wears brown rectangular-like pants (probably attached to the white shirt with the red tie), black shoes, and red/blue-striped socks. The character appeared in a We Are Family Foundation video promoting tolerance, which was criticized by James Dobson of Focus on the Family because of the foundation's link to homosexuality. SpongeBob has achieved popularity with both children and adults, though he has been involved in public controversy. His name is derived from "Bob the Sponge", the host of Hillenburg's comic strip The Intertidal Zone that he originally drew in 1989 while studying at the California Institute of Arts. As he drew the character, he decided that a "squeaky-clean square" (like a kitchen sponge) fits the concept.

Hillenburg compared the concept to Laurel and Hardy and Pee-wee Herman. Hillenburg intended to create a series about an over-optimistic sponge that annoys other characters. SpongeBob was created and designed by the late cartoonist, Stephen Hillenburg shortly after the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life in 1996. He first appeared on television in the series' pilot episode Help Wanted on May 1, 1999.
