SpongeBob Square Pants

He may be an expert in flipping burgers at The Krusty Krab in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom in the Pacific Ocean, but his get-up always seems to put a smile on the faces of many viewers. For some who don’t know him, who is Spongebob Square Pants and what makes him one of the coolest cartoon figures on television?

SpongeBob Square Pants is a yellow colored, absorbent sea sponge voiced by Tom Kenny who lives in a pineapple under the sea. This clumsy Sponge, who is endearingly honest about his childishness and shortcomings, admits to making a lot of hilarious mistakes in almost everything! SpongeBob typically wears a white shirt with a red tie, brown square pants and black shoes. When he is at work, he replaces his usual outfit to a hat with an anchor. But for special events, he wears a bow tie to look classy. Does this character now sound familiar to you?

The other major characters in this cartoon series include SpongeBob Square Pants’ best friend, a pink starfish called Patrick Star. There’s also Sandy Cheeks, the ever so clever Texan squirrel scientist who wears both a helmet and space suit and is also a good friend of SpongeBob. Another one is the cranky Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob’s co-worker at the Krusty Krab who openly displays his hatred for SpongeBob and best friend, Patrick. Gary the Snail who “meows”, similar to the sound of a cat is SpongeBob’s pet. How about the Bikini Bottom TV reporter Perch Perkins? The villains are Eugene Krabs, a very selfish and greedy character who owns the Krusty Krab Restaurant and Sheldon Plankton, who is Mr. Krabs’ archrival and owner of the Chum Bucket (a restaurant directly in front of the Krusty Krab). Sheldon Plankton is one who tries to put Eugene Krabs out of business by intending to get his hands onto the secret Krabby Patty formula.

Having described the mix of personalities, try imagining what it is like under the sea?

This Nickelodeon series is always a hit and at its peak, it just never seems to run out of enjoyment since the show aired in 1999.

This cartoon is highly recommended for the reason that it just keeps rising in popularity. SpongeBob Square Pants is probably one of the coolest cartoons ever made. You can just never be too old to stop watching cartoons!
