The show often revolves around his adventures and misadventures with his dumb, pink, and chubby starfish best friend named Patrick who seems to have no interest in getting a job. SpongeBob has received the Employee of the Month award many times.Īside from being really optimistic, SpongeBob is also very energetic and naive. Krabs, is a red crab that loves money very much. He also works at the Krusty Krab-home of the Kraby Patty, a burger which is portrayed to be beyond-words delicious- as a cook. He lives with his pet Gary, a snail that cannot speak but purrs a lot. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple house under the sea, in a fictional place called Bikini Bottom which is said to be under the real tropical island of Bikini Atoll. It was made to fit his personality and add to his individuality just like the way Woody Woodpecker and Popeye's laugh made them highly recognizable. SpongeBob's high-pitched and unique laugh was made on purpose. Hillenburg who worked with Kenny on the aforementioned show wanted him to use that voice for SpongeBob SquarePants. The voice of SpongeBob is by Tom Kenny who originally used that voice for a female alligator in the show entitled Rocko's Modern Life. He has big blue eyes, a pointy nose, two front buck teeth that are very prominent, and a lot of holes over his body- somehow making him look like cheese. He is a sea sponge that looks like a kitchen sponge. SpongeBob made his first appearance on in the pilot episode entitled "Help Wanted". He thought that a squeaky clean kitchen sponge is appropriate for the concept. He was made by cartoonist and marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg who wanted an overly optimistic character that is perceived to be annoying by other characters.
SpongeBob SquarePants is the main character in his self-titled cartoon TV series. But for the people who are fond of him, it is very obvious why. It is such a wonder for many people why many children and many adults are fans of SpongeBob SquarePants.
