sponge Bob Square Pants — the main character of the cartoon series "Sponge Bob Square Pants".

SpongeBob is a yellow, blue-eyed sponge with freckles and two teeth. It's all full of holes. Bob can easily change the length of his arms and legs. A sponge can easily change the entire body, changing its shape.

He wore a light shirt, a red tie, square pants, and even Brown, socks and boots.

Sponge was born November 1, 1986 in Bekini Bottom at the bottom of the ocean.

While still in his mother’s belly, the hero really fell in love with the Krabby Patties that his mother ate. Already at the age of 2, Bob created the perfect Krabby Patty, and at 4 he tried to get a job at the Krusty Krabs, where they sold these very wonderful burgers. However, due to his cowardice and shyness, it was very difficult for Sponge to get a job with the owner of the establishment. The star, his best friend, who dragged him to the establishment, helped him get a job. Mr. Krabs didn't want to accept the little sponge, but after the kid fulfilled an impossible order, Square Pants got his dream job.

The character was very kind, naive, optimistic and cheerful. All yours free time he spent time with a starfish, who is also his neighbor. Together, they caused a lot of problems for another neighbor, who loved peace.

On his days off, Pants loved to play staring contest, catch jellyfish, blow bubbles, and do karate with a squirrel.

Square lived in a pineapple house, with Gary's pet snail, next door to Patrick and.

Despite his passion for karate, the character was very frail. Besides, he was afraid of the dark.

“SpongeBob SquarePants” or simply “SpongeBob” is one of the most popular cartoons on the Nickelodeon television channel. Yes, my dear, but not quite a young friend. In fact, Nickelodeon is an entire American animated television channel, which in the early and mid-2000s was shown as a series of cartoons on the TNT channel. That is, in fact, it was a truncated, cropped segment of an entire television channel. It was through him that we learned about such cartoons: “As Ginger Says,” “CatDog,” “The Wild Thornberry Family,” “Rugrats!”, “Jimmy Neutron – Boy Genius,” etc.

"SpongeBob" on Nickelodeon

It is worth noting that the original Nickelodeon, as well as other similar channels, broadcast many very mediocre “masterpieces” of animation. I won’t say anything at all about the current state of things. Based on this, we can conclude that the Russian young and green viewer was shown the cream of the crop, carefully collected by caring producers.

SpongeBob is one of the longest-running projects that continues to eat away at the fragile psyche of the younger generation. To date, 234 episodes have been released, and 267 are planned. Thus, we see that the imagination of the authors of this opus is practically inexhaustible and continues to generate new trash.

At one time, and this was 2003-2005. cartoon about a yellow sponge that looks more like a dishwashing sponge than an inhabitant seabed, enslaved my consciousness. Of the entire series of Nickelodeon cartoons, on the then tube-based TNT, I was looking forward to this one with more impatience than the others. It must be said that he was very successful on air: he was always shown last. And if you didn’t have time to watch the first and second cartoons while you were galloping home from school, popping into the store for some goodies along the way, then you always had time to watch SpongeBob. Personally, I started to get crazy about the yellow sponge even before it became mainstream, that is, before those pedagogical-Emar times of 2007, but more on that a little later.

Characters of the cartoon "SpongeBob"

Today we will talk about the main characters of this opus, and perhaps you will learn something new for yourself.

Are you ready, children?

Yes captain!

I can not hear!

That's right, captain!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Who lives at the bottom of the ocean???

SpongeBob Squapens!!!

SpongeBob

Let's start with Sponge. Few people know, but full name This guy is Robert Harold SquarePants, and he was born on July 14, 1986 (according to his passport). As an adult, already formed person, the question immediately arises in me: “Is it really possible that a little boy, let’s call him a boy, works for an adult uncle in a cafe like a galley slave? This is the use of child labor. Merciless! However, my question will still remain unanswered. It's a cartoon.

SpongeBob character from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

The image of the sponge itself is still positioned as the image of a sea sponge, despite its appearance, which, by the way, is very pleasing. I was always amused by his teeth - two incisors, always sticking out; awkward Long hands; a bunch of holes all over the body; square pants that don't lose their shape even when the character takes them off; and most importantly - the possibility of transformation into any state and image.

Those square pants

In his behavior, Sponge really looks like a teenage child: he constantly has fun with his best friend Patrick, comes up with crazy ideas, and generally behaves fearlessly in relation to many things.

Despite his age, for some reason he works in the Krusty Krabs establishment for the miser Mr. Krabs, which, however, does not prevent the former from being happy: he works as a farmhand for himself, he is least interested in pleasure and his material condition. He became the best employee of the month 364 times, which seems to be a hint.

And although, if we think about it in all seriousness, this cartoon cannot be fully called children's, the character of SpongeBob is very optimistic, naive, kind, hardworking and has a lot of positive qualities, which creates a favorable image.

In the wake of Emar and Pedov hysteria, which occurred in the mid-2000s (yes, that same 2007 that cannot be returned!) the cartoon received new life, in particular, Sponge’s popularity skyrocketed.

Crowds of teenagers aged 12 to 19 staged raids on kiosks/stalls, stationery stores and anything else that had any paraphernalia with cartoon characters. Below is just the tip of the iceberg.

What else is SpongeBob remembered by the 2000s generation? I associate one wonderful game with it. Who remembers her besides me? Now let's do a little test.

Screenshot of the famous flash game “Find 3 differences”

If, at the sight of this screenshot, your hair stood on end, something shrank or wrinkled, then you understand what I mean. This is the same canonical “find 3 differences” game, after which your life will not be the same :)

After you have “found 3 differences”, SpongeBob appears on the screen, as if mocking you.

Gary the Snail

Gary the snail is a pet SpongeBob and, in its habits, it is very reminiscent of a cat, although in a number of episodes it destroys existing stereotypes: it squeals, roars and even barks. However, he only barks when he is angry, which is rare.

Patrick Star

Patrick Star is, in my opinion, the second most important cartoon character. He is a starfish with an absolute absence of a brain, which is manifested through the actions he performs, the generation of ideas, etc. Patrick and SpongeBob are best friends who live next door and love to catch jellyfish and blow bubbles. Patrick doesn’t work, he sits at home all day and watches TV, which personifies the dim-witted, dumb inhabitant of the world. Irony? Maybe.

Character Patrick Star from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Speaking about this character, it can be noted that he often likes to expose his body parts, in particular his butt, which has become a kind of cartoon meme.

Briefly about Patrick and his passions

Squidward

Squidward is a humanoid octopus who is in some ways an antagonist to SpongeBob. He works at the Krusty Krabs with a sponge, but he hates his job. In addition, he embodies the worst qualities - cynicism, pretentiousness, self-will, narcissism, vanity, selfishness, etc.

Squidward character from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

In addition to their shared place of work, Squidward and SpongeBob are neighbors, which causes the former to constantly suffer. Earlier I mentioned that SpongeBob is a cheerful, naive, active child, whose energy extends to everything living and inanimate within a radius of several kilometers. The first to suffer from this is Squidward, who loves peace, tranquility and gets irritated for any reason. Speaking modern language, the octopus is furiously butt-hurt every episode by SpongeBob, who has extremely good intentions.

Squidward character, in addition to the classic one animated film, gained additional popularity due to mysterious story, associated with the so-called "death file". To put it very briefly: there is a legend according to which at the studio producing the cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants”, in the mid-2000s - around 2005 - a cartoon series was discovered that was significantly different from all the others. It was called "Squidward's Suicide", and was stuffed with various creepy moments. Of course, this is just a legend, although you can find a bunch of “original” versions of this series on the Internet.

Variations on the theme "Roskomnadzor Squidward"

Sandy Cheeks

The female character in the cartoon is represented by the smart astronaut squirrel Sandy Cheeks, who is also the girlfriend of SpongeBob and Patrick Star. Given the growing popularity of the feminist movement and the desire to push positive female characters at any television project, we can say that the creators of the cartoon foresaw the future :)

Sandy is a talented scientist and inventor. Sandy is also interested in extreme sports, weightlifting, martial arts and is a rodeo champion.

Character Sandy Cheeks from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Since Sandy the squirrel is a representative of animals that live on land, her home is a huge tree under a dome with a climate corresponding to the surface on earth.

Mr. Krabs

Mr. Krabs, whose full name is Eugene Harold Krabs, is Squidward and SpongeBob's employer, owns the Krusty Krab. According to one of the episodes, he was born on November 30, 1942, which hints at his old age, which does not prevent him, however, from trying to extract maximum profit from even a grain of sand or stone. In the most literal sense of the word, he is a miser and a miser, caring only about his personal well-being. Viewers have several versions about this. According to the first, the desire to accumulate money is the cause of hopeless poverty in childhood; and according to the second, his “nationality” is you-know-who.

The character Mr. Krabs from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Mr. Krabs is short, red, and plump, and has very tall eyestalks, a frilled nose, large claws, and very short, pointy legs. He wears a blue shirt. Krabs is often compared to a sailor or pirate. Despite his money-grubbing ways, it is sometimes apparent that Mr. Krabs is not entirely heartless. He sometimes apologizes for his actions. He loves SpongeBob and his daughter and takes care of her. He respects SpongeBob and Squidward as they help keep his restaurant afloat.

Plankton

Another antagonist, but this time Mr. Krabs, is Plankton. Plankton is a failed businessman (owns the Trash Can restaurant), lives with his computer wife and has a fix on capturing the secret recipe for the KrustyKrabsburger. Previously, she and Eugene were inseparable, but it was the secret recipe that ended their friendship.

Character Plankton from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Despite his business failures, he still hopes to obtain the secret recipe and, as a result, develop his restaurant. All his inventions serve one purpose - to annoy Mr. Krabs.

These are the main characters of the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants". Of course, there are a number minor characters: hedgehog fish - teacher of driving lessons to SpongeBob, Pearl - adopted daughter of Mr. Krabs, Karen - computer wife of Plankton, etc.

Finally, I’ll share with you a fun fact I found on the Internet.

There is an opinion that a number of cartoon characters personify the 7 deadly sins: Mr. Krabs - Greed, Plankton - Envy, Patrick - Laziness, Dejection, Sandy the Squirrel - Pride, Squidward - Anger, SpongeBob - Lust, Gary the Snail - Gluttony.

And the truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle...

For about fifteen years, Stephen Hillenburg, an animator by profession and a marine biologist by vocation, nurtured an idea that later resulted in a cult cartoon. The premiere of the series “SpongeBob SquarePants” took place in May 1999 thanks to the Nickelodeon television channel. Since then, the popularity of the mysterious sponge began to grow rapidly, the series was translated into Russian (Alexey Balabanov participated in the voice acting) and acquired new army domestic fans.

Cartoon character personality

Sponge Bob Square Pants

SpongeBob SquarePants is an organism of marine origin, and not at all of kitchen origin, as you might think. Here are its characteristic features:

• large blue eyes;
• the mouth is equipped with protruding incisors;
• the whole body is covered with holes (enthusiasts estimate that there are exactly forty of them);
• on the cheeks - freckles and dimples;
• black boots;
• striped red and blue socks;
• also wears a red tie, a white shirt and, of course, square brown pants.

Our hero has a number of superpowers: he can arbitrarily change the shape of his body, the length of his limbs, and can retract his arms into himself.

Place of work: Krusty Krab restaurant. Position: cook. Our cartoon hero has been repeatedly awarded the title “Employee of the Month” (1,000,106 times). Sponge studies at Boat School, trying in vain to get a license.

SpongeBob is an eternal optimist. He is kind, hardworking and naive. Sometimes these qualities fail him. For example, when he was persuaded to go on strike, and he agreed, not knowing what it was about. Sometimes he suffers from excessive energy - where it is not necessary. Very sociable, makes a strange dolphin-like laugh (this annoys some people). Not a bad guitarist and vocalist. Plays the ukulele masterfully.

Hobbies and interests

Favorite hobby spongebob

1. Hunting for jellyfish. Our character's favorite pastime. I managed to catch and release all the inhabitants of the Jellyfish fields. And more than once. The last “trophy” is a blue jellyfish named Friend. Sponge communicated with the Queen and King of Jellyfish. Patrick helped him several times in this important matter.
2. Bubbles. Bob - Great master in the field of launching soap bubbles. It is capable of blowing objects of various sizes and shapes. When they burst, they make sounds of several tones. One day, SpongeBob created a humanoid bubble with intelligence. I didn't like the bubble to the local population and was forced to leave Bikini Bottom in a soapy taxi. An indicative case is when Bob blew out a bubble that contained all the residents of the town.
3. Peepers. A hobby that unites Bob and Patrick. Sometimes Squidward joins the game.
4. Watching TV shows. Patrick and Bob love the show about Barnacle Boy and Sea Superman. In some episodes, they even get involved in the fight against evil, but more often they pester superheroes, which they are not entirely happy about.
5. Karate. Bob's sparring partner is Sandy the squirrel. Despite his apparent frailty, the cartoon character once became so carried away by martial arts that he beat up Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and restaurant patrons and was almost fired.
6. Driving. At Driving School, Sponge is taught by Mrs. Puff. Dream square character— learn to drive a boat. So far, fantasy is unattainable (although in one of the episodes he controls a boat blindfolded).

SpongeBob's Habitat

Bob lives in a fictional town called Bikini Bottom. Together with his pet snail Gary, he settled at 124 Conch Street in a spacious “pineapple house.” Interestingly, the animated underwater town is located near a real island - Bikini Atoll.

The population of the town are anthropomorphic representatives of the deep sea. There are no other differences from human cities. There have been multiple explosions within Bikini Bottom. atomic bombs, and the townspeople were attacked by the Alaskan Bull Worm.

Funny detail: no one bothers with the fact that they live in the deep waters until they are on dry land. Friends go to Sandy the squirrel with containers placed on their heads and filled with water. Not far from the town lies a dark blue body of water called the Mud Lagoon.

SpongeBob's Ancestors

The main character's ancestry began with the Sponge Primate. SquarePants is an ancient and respected family. Let's give information about Bob's individual predecessors.

1. Sponge Gar. Bob's distant ancestor. Together with Skidward and Patrick's ancestors, he mastered fire as a cooking tool.
2. Sponge Buck. Great liberator. He became famous for saving Dead Eye Gorge from the dictator (Plankton's ancestor).
3. Stanley S. A modern relative of our hero, namely a cousin. It breaks everything it touches. In one episode, Eugene Krabs used Stanley’s “useful” skill to destroy a competing restaurant.
4. Black Jack. Another of Bob's cousins. Black Jack's parents are Larry SquarePants and his wife. Negative character. Bob was often bullied as a child. Having matured and matured, he took the path of crime and served time in prison. “Leaning back”, I decided to organize a kind of “holiday” - I made fun of Spongebob, convincing him that he intended to deal with his grandmother and parents. Behind this strange act lay a desire to lure the main character to a cool party. The past years of seclusion have not changed Black Jack at all.

Character's environment

• Patrick Star. Best friend Sponges, starfish. A parasite, lives under a stone. Dressed in Hawaiian shorts. Dumb, but conscientious. He knows how to professionally sit back, not think, and eats a lot. Life goals are missing.
• Gary. SpongeBob's pet snail. Meows and is equipped with a built-in purr. She taught the owner the art of tying shoelaces.
• Skidward. Bob's neighbor and work colleague. Harmful octopus. Lives in a stone idol brought from Easter Island. Tries to play the clarinet. Arrogant snob.
• Sandy the squirrel. He is one of Bob's best friends. Originally from Texas. Lives under a deep-sea dome, practices karate.
• Eugene Krabs. The culinary boss that Sponge works for. Businessman, keeper of the secret Krabby Patty recipe. Single.
• Sheldon Plankton. Failed enslaver of the world, owns the restaurant "Wash Bucket". I have a wife, Karren, a computer.
• Mrs. Puff. Teacher at the Boat School, hedgehog fish. Widow. The object of Eugene Krabs' advances. A very sensible character.

7 SpongeBob characters - 7 deadly sins

One of the most popular American cartoons is SpongeBob SquarePants. I honestly tried to watch several episodes, but I didn’t find anything there other than impenetrable stupidity. I categorically did not like the cartoon. However, the project has existed since 1999. I recently came across some very interesting material about how the main characters of the cartoon “SpongeBob” personify mortal sins. No more and no less! And now about this in more detail.

The first episode of the cartoon aired on July 17, 1999. The action takes place at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where there is a tiny town called Bikini Bottom. This is where the characters live. By the way, in 2004 it was released and full-length cartoon"SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie." The series came to Russia in 2003. The broadcast was carried out on the TNT channel

So, about mortal sins.

Mr. Krabs represents greed. In the story, he is the greedy boss of the main character SpongeBob. Krabs saves all the time, thinks only about money and profit.

Plankton is a symbol of envy. The character is small in size, but his ego is inflated beyond measure. He constantly makes insidious plans on how to get what fate has unfairly deprived him of. In particular, the recipe for Krabby Patties.

Patrick represents laziness. He's so lazy about everything that he lives under a rock. This cartoon character does not work, but only plays and sleeps.

Sandy is a symbol of pride. This funny underwater squirrel is very proud that it is native to Texas, but can live underwater. Sandy spends almost all her time trying to become even more perfect.

Squidward symbolizes anger. Here comments, as they say, are unnecessary. There wasn't an episode where this character wasn't angry at SpongeBob and his friend Patrick.

Gary is the personification of gluttony. The little animal that lives with SpongeBob mostly sleeps and meows. However, he meows from a constant and indomitable feeling of hunger.

And finally, the main character!

SpongeBob is a symbol of lust. It is precisely this analogy that you will not find at first glance. We associate the word “lust” with lust and sex. However, lust is also a passionate thirst for something in general. SpongeBob in the animated series is simply obsessed with a thirst for new experiences and life in all its manifestations.
