SpongeBob "GoodBob" SquarePants (b. July 14, 1986) 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, and is voiced by Tom Kenny. SpongeBob's 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. SpongeBob lacks a lot of knowledge and is a constant annoyance to those around him (especially Squidward Tentacles), but he is very good natured. His neighbors are Squidward Tentacles, who lives in an Easter Island head and is constantly annoyed by SpongeBob, and Patrick Star, his best friend, who lives under a rock. SpongeBob believes Squidward is his friend despite Squidward’s obvious dislike of him. When SpongeBob first arrived in Bikini Bottom, a pineapple fell from a boat above and landed where Squidward’s garden had been, and SpongeBob happily chose it as his home.

SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom’s most popular restaurant, where he prepares Krabby Patties with extraordinary speed and skill. In the first episode, “Help Wanted,” he is hired after successfully feeding a swarm of anchovies using a hydrodynamic spatula he was sent to find as a joke. He treats his job with extreme passion, has won hundreds of Employee of the Month awards, and is shown to have had cooking talent even as a baby. His boss, Eugene H. Krabs, is greedy and underpays his employees, while Squidward works as the cashier and dislikes both the job and SpongeBob’s enthusiasm. Despite this, SpongeBob deeply respects Mr. Krabs and remains devoted to his work.

Outside of work, SpongeBob spends most of his time with Patrick and Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas who lives underwater in an air-filled Treedome and shares his love of activities like jellyfishing and karate. SpongeBob also attends Mrs. Puff’s Boating School, where he has failed his driving test countless times due to panic behind the wheel. Although he is friendly and well-meaning, many citizens of Bikini Bottom find him exhausting, even creating a “National No SpongeBob Day” to get a break from him. Throughout the series, he is portrayed as childish, energetic, and endlessly optimistic, with a wide circle of friends, unusual talents, and a life centered around fun, friendship, and his love for making Krabby Patties.

SpongeBob SquarePants is very immature and clueless, and his laugh is often annoying to those around him. He can be over-dramatic and sensitive, especially when it comes to fry cooking, but he is very kind natured. He is also extremely clueless and gullible like his friend, Patrick Star, he usually gets tricked easily by Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and anyone else that is clear to use him or want to hurt him, SpongeBob is never shown to bear a grudge to anyone. SpongeBob also has shown a enormous talent in many things like karate techniques, jellyfishing, bubble blowing and being a "frycook".

SpongeBob hailed from an important family in Bikini Bottom. His ancestor, SpongeBuck SquarePants, defeated the evil Dead Eye Plankton in Dead Eye Gulch, a small western-themed village, which later became a big city named Bikini Bottom under SpongeBuck's leadership.

SpongeBob is shown to be a good friend (despite him being annoying) to almost everyone, except Plankton. However, on occasions, he is friends with him.

SpongeBob tries to help his friends out of their problems, but can cause trouble, such as in Triton and the Siren where he says that Triton and Esa should have a GTKEOD to bond them, but when the pianist has a terrible cough and he hires Squidward, Esa's scallops swam away due to Squidward's horrible clarinet music, causing Esa to zap him in anger. He is known to be most annoying to Squidward. Squidward is always looking to get rid of him.

Overview & Biography

Conception and Background

Bob the Sponge in the 1980s.

The idea that became SpongeBob SquarePants began long before the show reached television. Stephen Hillenburg, a marine biology graduate with a passion for art, taught at the Ocean Institute in the late 1980s and created an educational comic called The Intertidal Zone to teach students about tide pools. The comic featured anthropomorphic sea life, including an early version of a sponge character. These illustrations and character ideas laid the groundwork for what would evolve into SpongeBob and Bikini Bottom, blending scientific curiosity with cartoon inventiveness. This early foundation helped shape Hillenburg’s vision for a world where undersea creatures could be animated with personality and humor.

Hillenburg delivering SpongeBob to Nickelodeon

As Hillenburg transitioned into animation after working on Rocko’s Modern Life, he began formalizing his concept in the mid-1990s. A series pitch bible was developed through revisions between 1996 and 1997, originally under the working title SpongeBoy (with the protagonist named SpongeBoy) and later SpongeBob SquarePants when legal issues forced a name change. The bible detailed the setting of Bikini Bottom, character biographies, and episode ideas, conveying the tone and structure of the proposed series. Nickelodeon executives requested that SpongeBob attend school, leading Hillenburg to invent Mrs. Puff and a boating school so the character could remain an adult while satisfying the network’s criteria.

SpongeBob cast in Pitch Bible

SpongeBob glitched footage in 1997

In 1997 Hillenburg and his collaborators storyboarded and produced a seven-minute pilot episode titled Help Wanted to pitch the series to Nickelodeon. The original pilot build, sometimes referred to by fans as the early Spongeboy Ahoy version, contained variations on character designs and sequences that would later appear in the officially released series. Production steps included scripting, storyboarding, and voice recording by Hillenburg and his team, who had worked together on Rocko’s Modern Life. Although the seven-minute piece was completed in 1997, changes and edits continued into 1999 as the series prepared for broadcast.

Although the pilot was finished in 1997, it was not broadcast until the show’s official debut in 1999. Nickelodeon revised aspects of the episode, refining audio, visuals, and credits before airing Help Wanted as the premiere episode on May 1, 1999. This delay from production to broadcast reflected the network’s scheduling, marketing strategy, and post-production process. When the series launched, its distinct charm, vibrant world, and optimistic lead character quickly secured a place in popular culture, marking the transformation of Hillenburg’s early concept into a lasting animated franchise.

2000s

Across early episodes, SpongeBob is defined first by relentless enthusiasm and sincerity. In Help Wanted, his determination to become a fry cook is so intense that it borders on absurdity, yet it comes from a genuine love of the Krusty Krab and pride in doing simple work well. That same energy drives him in Pizza Delivery, where a frustrating journey becomes an adventure powered by optimism rather than complaints. In Band Geeks, his unshakable belief that practice and teamwork will succeed helps transform Squidward’s hopeless band into a triumphant performance. These moments show a character whose optimism is not naïve passivity but an active force that pushes situations toward unlikely success.

SpongeBob’s imagination is another core trait, turning ordinary or empty spaces into elaborate experiences. In Idiot Box, a cardboard box becomes an entire world of sound and adventure, revealing how deeply he commits to pretend play. Club SpongeBob shows a similar instinct, as he treats survival in the wilderness like an imaginative game guided by absurd “magic conch” wisdom. Even in Rock Bottom, a frightening and confusing place is met with curiosity and awkward perseverance rather than panic. His mind reframes discomfort into something manageable, often entertaining, suggesting that his creativity is both a coping mechanism and a source of joy.

His kindness and loyalty, especially toward Patrick, repeatedly define his social world. In Chocolate With Nuts, SpongeBob enthusiastically supports a doomed sales plan simply because it is something he and Patrick can do together. Opposite Day highlights how deeply he cares about maintaining friendships, going to strange lengths to help Squidward feel at home. The Camping Episode shows him trying to include Squidward in fun rather than exclude him, even when Squidward resists. SpongeBob’s friendliness is not selective; he assumes everyone should be part of the experience, whether they want to be or not.

At the same time, SpongeBob’s innocence often crosses into obliviousness, creating chaos despite good intentions. In Wet Painters, strict rule-following spirals into panic and destruction because he cannot think flexibly. No Free Rides shows how his eagerness to please Mrs. Puff leads to reckless mistakes behind the wheel. Something Smells reveals how unaware he can be of social cues, confidently misreading why others avoid him. His flaws come not from malice but from a childlike literalness and inability to recognize when situations require subtlety rather than enthusiasm.

Finally, SpongeBob is ambitious in oddly specific ways, constantly chasing small dreams with outsized passion. In Patty Hype, he invents colorful novelty foods with pride, convinced of their brilliance. The Fry Cook Games turns a workplace rivalry into an epic athletic competition in his mind. Arrgh! shows him embracing a pirate treasure hunt with wholehearted excitement, while As Seen On TV reveals how easily he is swept up in trends and commercial fantasies. Together, these episodes portray SpongeBob as someone who approaches every task, no matter how trivial, as if it carries epic importance—an outlook that makes his world vibrant, chaotic, and endlessly sincere.

Role in the Omniverse

SpongeBob preparing for lift off

An alternate SpongeBob exists in the Plankton created universe in The Algae's Always Greener world where Plankton was successful. Like his mainstream counterpart, he likes his career, likes promotions and gets sad when he makes an error in someone's order. The most significant difference is that he was made co-cashier by Plankton and is employed by him.

An alternate SpongeBob is mentioned in every short of the series, What if SpongeBob was Gone is one example: without him, Gary threw a humongous party that ended in disaster; Patrick in this universe cannot hunt jellyfish properly; Sandy gets injured when playing karate and the Krusty Krab ends in ruins and all would say except Gary, everything's better with SpongeBob.

Other SpongeBobs exist throughout non-TV media however in Fanboy and Chum Chum Lore Bible, every alternative version of SpongeBob is condensed into three entities, GoodBob, FreakyBob, and GangstaBob each carrying their own vibe.

SpongeBob also has friends from other universes as shown in the video game Nicktoons Unite and its other sequels, Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island, Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots and SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom, the last of which is adapted for the Great Crossover Divide also known as the Fanboy and Chum Chum Bible or Omniverse Saga. In these games, he and Patrick befriend Timmy Turner (as well as his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda), Danny Phantom, Sam Manson, Tak, ZIM, XJ9/Jenny, Stimpy, Jimmy Neutron, Tucker Foley, Goddard, Rocko, and Gir.

Characteristics

SpongeBob if drawn by Ken Sugimori (Credit: Pongo99)

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 (i: e Hillenberg-era), he is wider near the top and gets skinnier going further down, but in more recent episodes, he is more of a regular square shape. SpongeBob is a short, square-shaped sea sponge who more closely resembles a kitchen sponge. He has bright yellow skin with a wavy outline and many deep-yellow holes scattered throughout his body: seven on his face, four on each of his sides, nine on his back and five on top of his head. He has very large, blue eyes with three black eyelashes on each eye. He has a wide mouth with a red interior, a visible chin, pink tongue and two white buckteeth on his upper jaw. His nose is long and points upward and he has three red freckles on each of his cheeks. He also has long, thin limbs that end in small hands and feet. For attire, SpongeBob wears his signature square pants that consist of a pair of light brown shorts, a white, short-sleeved collared shirt and a red necktie. He also wears a pair of squeaky black shoes and white, knee-length socks, each with one blue stripe and one red stripe. 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). Though SpongeBob has always been voiced by Tom Kenny, his voice has changed over the course of the series; his voice is lower than normal in the pilot episode, Help Wanted and after the movie, his voice gets slightly higher-pitched. And also, SpongeBob never passed Boating School.

Personality

SpongeBobGoodBob

SpongeBob's carefree attitude in a nutshell

SpongeBob is a very 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 name tag, in 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's 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 can't 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 and Plankton; most noticeably, he is always easily fooled by Plankton no matter how bizarre or obvious his disguises are. Even though he's 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's angry, with the exception of the episode Can You Spare a Dime?.

Fanon Personality

In the context of fanon, SpongeBob's personality remains largely true to his original character traits of being quirky, optimistic, and always eager to help others. However, due to the unique and sometimes fantastical situations he finds himself in, his personality may be tested and evolve in various ways as he faces challenges and interacts with new characters. SpongeBob's core personality traits of being optimistic, kind-hearted, and always striving to do good may shine through, even as he faces unique challenges and adventures in his underwater world. SpongeBob is very energetic, fun-loving, and naive sponge. Despite this, he does know right from wrong, as he did of approve of Mrs. Puff being called a 'big fat meanie" and does not tolerate insults. SpongeBob is shown to be a hard worker, immensely dedicated to his job and even enjoying it. Always finishing a job and not wishing to stop working. When something is meant as a punishment, he often enjoys it if it involves working overtime, showing he is quite responisble. However, he does appear to have standards as he is shown to be exhausted by overworking. He is also somewhat childish, enjoying to play games and watching cartoons. He is also somewhat naive, as he does not realize Squidward and Mrs. Puff's annoyance of him. he is also shown to be somewhat cowardly, as he is easily frightened when the lights are off or when he encounters a ghost. He is also a bit sensitive, as he can easily be made cry. SpongeBob is overall a friendly individual, wishing to be a friend with anyone around him, even if they don't see him as their friend. He is also very supportive and caring to his friends and family. There is a few fanon works that have there own additions to the character, here are a few you can find on SBFW and the internet, all of these are wiki pages on SBFW that set the tone for the site when they were written:

Across these fanon series, SpongeBob’s core optimism and innocence usually shine through, but authors frequently crank his traits to extremes. Overall, fan authors keep him optimistic and caring, yet gleefully remix his naivety, fearfulness or work ethic in strange new ways. Uncle Al’s the Coochieverse, in this delightfully edgy and humorous comedy YouTube parody series remixes SpongeBob into an absurdly warped world. In it, SpongeBob goes from his usual innocent self into a totally manic, over-the-top cartoon character – think twisted slapstick and bizarre gags. Videos often show him screaming and behaving insanely, which pushes his hyperactive side into chaos as he interacts with Coochie Squidward and his beefaroni. AI Sponge shows a surreal web series of different user generated AI-generated episodes each known for their own gags. SpongeBob takes his usual “childish, joyful, hardworking, silly", as the context is extremely twisted. He ends up multilingual, even a war veteran with PTSD, yet his basic goofiness remains. For example, one AI Sponge episode has him simply quitting the Krusty Krab: “‘the Krusty Krab … was bad’,” illustrating his cartoonish honesty. AI Sponge can exaggerate his naiveté and energy into a bizarre, sometimes dark comedy, mixing innocence with unexpectedly heavy background.

One comic from AbsoluteNutcase162

The absurdist meme series, Absolutenutcase162’s SpongeBob Comics shows SpongeBob’s personality as wildly inconsistent: sometimes polite and kind, other times aggressively foul-mouthed depending on the panel. His chaotic humor rules in these collection of comics as one panel might show him sweet and caring, the next using slurs at characters, as he bounces from one extreme to another without explanation (e.g. in “We Have Come for Your Nectar,” as he blurts absurd threats). It’s a total swing from canon decorum, emphasizing SpongeBob’s silliness to lunacy. As the crown crossover gem of SBFW, the Daddy Pig Cinematic Universe is a shitpost centered around Peppa Pig’s Daddy Pig and all sorts of werid awesome characters like Ken Stringfellow and Chicken Peter. In the DPCU fanfics, SpongeBob stays friendly and oblivious as he is stuck in parodies of celebrity or family movies dealing with Daddy Pig plot shenanigans. In Cult of Squid, SpongeBob is rarely seen here, but when he appears, he remains optimistic and unsuspecting about the cult’s dangers as he basically stays naive and supportive of Squidward out of loyalty after Squidward recognizes his mistakes and tries to fix the war between dark and light that he sparked within his group, the Feathered Friends.

Squidward is given instructions to take pills from God.

The now ended long-running blanket series of official wiki episodes known as SpongeBob Fanon Series. Across its many episodes, SpongeBob tends to stay upbeat and persistent, but writers experiment with story arcs as the series is an anything goes type series. SpongeBob is typically seen working with Mr. Krabs and later redeemed villians with their own motivations for the ocean in a long spanning soap opera like take on the usually series with darker concepts for stories. In the action-adventure fan series SpongeBob UltraPants, SpongeBob becomes a heroic, super-powered figure teaming with Squidward and allies to save the world as he becomes braver and more decisive when he is keen to face threats head-on. For example, he consistently charges into battle alongside Squidward and a “magical being” to thwart Plankton. In UltraPants, he amps up his determination and sense of duty as he cracks jokes, as he becomes an earnest action-hero sponge.

A sports comedy series, Basket Sponge shows SpongeBob’s spirit when is completely played up when he becomes enthusiastic and hard-working on his basketball team, the Bikini Bottom Bulldogs. Coach LeBron James explicitly notes SpongeBob’s “heart”, showing his dedication and optimism. At times he faces self-doubt, at one point he felt “not man enough” for basketball, but quickly bounces back with can-do energy bringing his team to victory against the villianous Toon Tomahawks. The focus is on his and LeBron James' teamwork and effort, so his work ethic and determination are highlighted. For example, when SpongeBob struggles at practice he becomes “desperate” to succeed, he later wears Michael Jordan’s shoes as a lucky charm! Overall Basket Sponge shows him as even more competitive and supportive always rallying the team with his cheerful “try-your-best” attitude. The series also once was cross referenced by the directors other spin-off Time Travellers, showcasing how SpongeBob's teamwork with LeBron can translate to his adventures with the Doctor as a companion working inside the TARDIS.

In the 2020s a political satire series riffing on U.S. elections known as No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom was created on SBFW. SpongeBob’s plays the earnest everyman supporting “Joe Biden” vibes. For instance, he might enthusiastically campaign or get caught up in debates, staying naive to political schemes that show up when Donald Trump is campaigning in every dimension that FreakyBob hasn't taken over. The slice-of-life comedy-drama, Absorbent Days, shows SpongeBob adapting to the many changes in Bikini Bottom especially when the Krusty Krab is relocated downtown. He remains confident enough to testify in court during one episode. Throughout, his innocence and kindness remain, as his loyalty and hard work is emphasized in a setting slowly getting transformed to by subtle changes around him.

The years after the time-skip hardened SpongeBob into something unrecognizable to those who once knew him, the events of the Fanboy and Chum Chum Lore Bible show a different darker version of the usual world of Bikini Bottom where the nation as been industrialized by fear. The bright, porous optimism that defined him never fully vanished, but it became buried beneath discipline, scars, and a steady, watchful silence. An eyepatch now covered one eye, a reminder of the civil war he survived long before the greater galactic conflicts erupted. He moved with the calm precision of a veteran soldier, speaking less, observing more, and carrying himself with the quiet authority of someone who had seen entire cities fall. Yet in rare moments, a faint echo of his old cheerfulness surfaced in small gestures of kindness toward those under his protection.

GoodBob and Patrick as they last stood in the war before the Collapse of Bikini Bottom

Serving as a loyal member of the Imperium’s Good Society, he believed deeply in the idea that order and stability were the only safeguards against chaos. The once carefree fry cook had become a strategist, able to read battlefields as easily as he once read recipes. His experiences during the civil war taught him that enthusiasm alone could not save lives; discipline, sacrifice, and foresight were required. Those who fought beside him respected his judgment, for he rarely made a decision without considering its human cost. His commands were firm but never cruel, and he carried the weight of every loss as if it were personal. When the Heresy spread to Bikini Bottom, GoodBob witnessed horrors that reshaped his understanding of loyalty and corruption. Friends turned against friends, familiar streets became battlegrounds, and the innocence of his home dissolved into smoke and ruin. He saw how easily ideals could be twisted, how trust could fracture under pressure, and how even the kindest hearts could be consumed by fear. These memories haunted him, shaping the cautious, vigilant demeanor he now maintained. The laughter that once filled his world had been replaced by the distant echo of artillery and betrayal.

Despite everything, he remained deeply committed to protecting what little goodness survived. His version of hope was no longer loud or naïve; it was quiet and resilient. He mentored younger recruits with patience, reminding them that compassion was not weakness, even in war. In private moments, he would repair equipment with meticulous care, as if restoring broken tools helped him cope with the broken world around him. The eyepatch and scars made him look severe, but his actions revealed a core still guided by a desire to help others endure. This post-war SpongeBob stood as a symbol of survival rather than innocence. He represented how someone once defined by joy could adapt to a harsh universe without entirely losing their sense of right and wrong. Though shaped by conflict and shadowed by memory, he carried forward a belief that a better society was still worth fighting for. His presence alone reminded others that even in a galaxy defined by war, fragments of kindness and resolve could still persist.

GoodBob losing everyone in the war. Squidward attacked by SWAT and gunned down during the infection. Forced to work with Macgyver, the Cigarette Smoking Man, and other members of the Good Society after the loss of his friends.

In later campaigns, SpongeBob’s unit was deployed to coastal ruins overrun by the so-called Freakers, a relentless xenos breed that moved in swarms and learned from every failed assault. He studied their patterns with patient focus, mapping their routes through shattered streets and flooded corridors before committing his squad to action. Rather than charge headlong, he favored containment and rescue, carving safe paths for trapped civilians while drawing the creatures into controlled choke points. His tactics turned chaotic skirmishes into deliberate advances, and the Freakers—once thought unstoppable—were pushed back step by step through discipline and coordination.

These encounters demanded endurance more than heroics. The Freakers attacked in waves, testing morale as much as defenses, and SpongeBob kept his team steady with clear signals and quiet resolve. He rotated watch schedules, reinforced barricades, and never allowed panic to dictate movement. When ammunition ran low, he improvised with the environment, turning debris and narrow passages into advantages. Those who served under him learned that survival often depended on preparation rather than bravado. Battles against the forces of Chaos proved more unsettling. The enemy did not always appear as a visible threat but crept in through confusion, whispers, and doubt. SpongeBob recognized how easily fear could fracture unity, so he focused on maintaining trust within his ranks. He encouraged open communication, corrected rumors quickly, and reminded everyone of their shared purpose. In doing so, he blunted the psychological edge that Chaos relied upon to unravel defenses from within.

Even in the midst of these darker confrontations, his leadership emphasized restraint. He understood that reckless aggression could play directly into the enemy’s hands, so he advanced only when the situation was fully understood. Each engagement became a careful balance between action and patience, strength and awareness. Through measured decisions and steady guidance, SpongeBob helped his unit withstand threats that attacked both body and spirit, proving that resilience could counter even the most insidious forms of warfare.

Relationships

Friends

Patrick Star

Patrick is SpongeBob best friend, neighbor and coworker. SpongeBob first met Patrick in their childhood and learned that Patrick had no friends, leading to how the two became friends. They have the common interest of jellyfishing, blowing bubbles and even watching Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Now and again, the two get into a fight that "ends" their friendship, though it is never enough to separate them permanently. Overall, the two appear inseparable.

Gary the Snail

Gary is SpongeBob's pet snail. The two share a bit of a father-son relationship. Gary can sometimes be annoyed by SpongeBob or refuse to take a bath, though the two do care about each other.

Squidward Tentacles

Squidward is SpongeBob's neighbor and coworker. SpongeBob considers Squidward his "friend" though Squidward, in reality, actually finds SpongeBob rather annoying, something SpongeBob is completely oblivious to. While the two will cooperate from time and again, Squidward will always return to disliking SpongeBob.

Sandy Cheeks

Sandy is a close friend of SpongeBob. The two first met in Kamp Koral and SpongeBob was the one to convince Sandy to pursue her dreams of being a scientist. SpongeBob will often times act as Sandy's lab partner. Though Sandy has had her share of being annoyed by SpongeBob, the two remain close.

Mr. Krabs

Mr. Krabs is SpongeBob's boss. SpongeBob looks up to his boss and Mr. Krabs appears to favor SpongeBob over his other employees, likely because SpongeBob is the hardest worker.

Enemies

Bubble Bass

Bubble Bass is SpongeBob's sworn enemy. The two often do not get along with Bubble Bass messing with SpongeBob as a means of getting free food. However, SpongeBob will always come back and show Bubble Bass up.

Plankton

SpongeBob and Plankton have a complicated relationship. SpongeBob often tries to keep the secret formula out of Plankton's reach. However, unlike Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob does this purely out of dedication to his job and has no personnel vendetta against Plankton. He is also shown to consider Plankton a friend when outside of work, though Plankton often does not view SpongeBob this way.

Family

Harold and Margaret SquarePants

Harold and Margaret are SpongeBob's parents. In his childhood, SpongeBob was very close to his parents, even learning his skills in life from them. As an adult, SpongeBob seems to wish to impress his parents as he acts more mature than he actually is and often does not realize they are already proud of him. He loves and relays on his parents, even wishing to stay with them when his house was temporarily destroyed.

SpongeTom SquarePants

SpongeTom is SpongeBob's older brother. In their childhood, SpongeTom often felt overshadowed by SpongeBob, something SpongeBob himself was unaware of. Despite this, they did get along, even inventing a game together and were both equally amused by their father's mishaps. As adults, SpongeBob reveals that he had always look up to his brother, prompting the two to reconcile and fix their relationship, SpongeBob even attending his brother's wedding.

Grandma SquarePants

Grandma SquarePants is SpongeBob's grandmother. SpongeBob enjoys when his grandmother bakes for him, reads him stories and the sweaters she makes him. However, when in public, SpongeBob can be somewhat embarrassed by this.
