[[redirect:Characters/ptitleaq93ou7hn02v]]
to:
->Voiced by: TomKenny
An outgoing sea sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, as the show's ThemeTune implies. Works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. Although not very bright (especially in later seasons), he has a good heart and constantly strives to help his friends...even when they don't really ''want'' it.
* AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOFAntiHeroes Type I or IV]], DependingOnTheWriter.
* AndCallHimGeorge: his behavior towards Squidward and Puff.
** And Gary.
** And Barnacle Boy
** And pretty much everybody else.
* AnnoyingLaugh
* {{Asexuality}}: According to WordOfGod.
** Physically at least. The same WordOfGod is that he also has a crush on Sandy.
* BlueEyes: He's the only character with an iris while all but a few of the other characters have black eyes. Combined with being yellow gives the impression of a blue-eyed blond if he was human.
** However whenever he grows hair it comes out brunette, like this mother (though it sometimes does come out blond). The common presentation is that he does have the ability to grow hair, but he cuts it.
* BreakTheCutie: Fools in April, Have You Seen This Snail?, and others.
* BurgerFool: Subverted
* ButtMonkey / ChewToy: When he's not the one causing the abuse.
** IronButtMonkey: Justified, seeing he's a sponge, but it's still shown to be painful.
* ChasteToons: In one of the comics, he has three nephews.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
** Though DependingOnTheWriter, he can on rare occasions play the role of OnlySaneMan.
* TheDitz: More so as the series progresses.
** GeniusDitz: Occasionally.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Probably the king of this trope in Western Animation.
* [=~Everything's Better With Bob~=]
* ExtremeDoormat: Has shades of this, particularly around peers such as Mr Krabs, often making him a convinient patsy. Occasional stories show him attempt to gain abrasive skills, only to decide he is happy being "assertively nice".
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: He cannot get his boating lisence. '''[[YankTheDogsChain He cannot.]]'''
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine
* {{Flanderization}}: After TheMovie, he gravitated steadily towards the role of TheFool.
* {{Foil}}: To three characters.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: Little Guy to Patrick's Big Guy.
** PinkBoyBlueGirl: Pink Boy to Sandy's Blue Girl.
** RedOniBlueOni: The red to Squidward's blue.
** SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Patrick's Manly Man.
* HealingFactor: Being a sponge, he can regenerate lost limbs, and even reproduce by budding.
* HoYay: With Patrick and Squidward.
* IdiotHero
* IdiotHoudini: Seriously, don't get us started.
* {{Keet}}: Much more so after the movie, but... quite a lot before the movie, too.
* KindheartedSimpleton: The large majority of times, [[StopHelpingMe he at least means well]], anyway.
* ManChild: "Too tough? I'll have you know I stubbed my toe last week and I only cried for twenty minutes!"
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: His obsession with Squidward reaches borderline-stalker levels in later seasons.
** Borderline? He spends every morning sneaking into Squidward's bedroom and watching the sun rise with him WHILE HE'S SLEEPING.
** As Squidward says in one episode: "Spongebob, do you remember that little talk we had about personal space?"
* TheMcCoy
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes
* PapaWolf: To Gary.
** Also shows up when he's left to care for a bunch of baby worms.
* PingPongNaivete: Is capable of surprising bouts of [[GeniusDitz resourcefulness and wisdom]] and can even play the Straight Man on occasion, but can never figure out that [[StopHelpingMe half the town wants him to leave them alone]].
* ThePollyanna
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: In some episodes, [=SpongeBob=]'s strength varies from episode to episode. Some episodes depict him as so weak he couldn't even lift a straw, other depict him lifting a mailbox straight off its hinges.
* ThePowerOfRock: CrowningMomentOfAwesome in TheMovie, along with one of the earlier episodes.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* RubberMan
* SuperSpeed: As the Quickster in ''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V''.
* StalkerWithACrush: To Squidward.
* StepfordSmiler: A few episodes indicate that behind that perpetual smile and always energetic and optimistic personality [=SpongeBob=] isn't entirely sane. There have been episodes where he would go into Freak Out mode over little things or become stark raving mad if things don't go right for him, like if he encounters some problems at his job that he loves and the like.
** There are no indications that [=SpongeBob=] is sane. The flavor of his apparent insanity varies.
* TalkingToHimself: With Gary.
* TedBaxter: DependingOnTheWriter
* TooDumbToLive: At his worst.
* TookALevelInDumbass: When the series began he was fairly intelligent but naive about certain things and occasionally goofy, in the later episodes he is just barely smarter than pre-first movie Patrick.
* WideEyedIdealist
!!'''Patrick Star'''
->Voiced by: Bill Fagerbakke
A [[{{Understatement}} not-quite-bright]] starfish who works as a barber.
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism : All the freakin time.
* AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type II/IV and occaisonally Type V]] in earlier episodes, later a type I.
* {{Acrofatic}}
* AdiposeRex: In "Rule of Dumb".
* BosomBuddies: When he thought a salesman was threatening his life, he, with [=SpongeBob=]'s help, disguised himself as a girl named [[GenderBlenderName Patricia]]. Cue every other male in Bikini Bottom (especially Squidward and Mr. Krabs) falling for him.
* BigEater
* BumblingSidekick
* ButtMonkey: At times.
* DeadpanSnarker: In the earlier episodes.
** In later episodes he ''tries'' to be snarky, but is ultimately too dumb to pull it off.
* FatBastard: In some episodes.
* FatIdiot
* {{Foil}}: To [=SpongeBob=].
** BigGuyLittleGuy: Big Guy to [=SpongeBob=]'s Little Guy.
** SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to [=SpongeBob=]'s Sensitive Guy.
* TheFool: Along with [=SpongeBob=].
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic
* IdiotHoudini
* {{Jerkass}}: On occasion DependingOnTheWriter, though as usual this was emphasized more due to {{Flanderization}} in later episodes.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The other half of the time.
* HoYay: With [=SpongeBob=]
* {{Lack of Empathy}}: At his worst (at his best he's just too dumb to know any better).
** Granted it's another case of DependingOnTheWriter, in some cases he just blows off any pain or anguish he causes, in others he can be [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone brought to tearful remorse]] for [[PokeThePoodle stealing someone's donut]].
* LargeHam: Moreso in earlier episodes, but still somewhat in later ones.
* ManChild: [[strike: Almost]] as much as [=SpongeBob=], if not [[BeyondTheImpossible more]].
* ParentalNeglect: In "Rock a Bye Bivalve," since he repeatedly refuses to help the little scallop. Though that in his eyes seems to be a traditional father figure.
* PoisonousFriend
* TheKirk
* RalphWiggum
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* StockSoundEffects: His BigEater moments are often punctuated by the sound of a Hoover vacuum cleaner.
* TooDumbToLive: At times, like when he forgets how to breathe.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: FanDisservice.
!!'''Squidward Quincy Tentacles'''
->Voiced by: Rodger Bumpass
A cranky perfectionist squid/octopus. Works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife
* AnnoyingLaugh
* AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type I or Type II]].
* BurgerFool
* ButtMonkey
** IronButtMonkey
* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: "Squidsville"
* TheChewToy
* CrankyNeighbor
* DeadpanSnarker
* DesignatedMonkey: His ButtMonkey role was [[LaserGuidedKarma justified more in very early episodes]] due to his Jerkass persona and treatment of others, his abuse has leaned more towards ComedicSociopathy and KafkaKomedy in later episodes, with a lot of the cast (and even inanimate objects) just baring an instant hatred and sadism towards him. The people who DO like him [[StopHelpingMe aren't much help either]].
* DreadfulMusician
* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Does occasionally get the chance to display some actual musical or other talent. He was, in fact, initially characterized by Plankton as a "mediocre clarinet player," but has usually been shown as an abysmal one.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic
* FreudianExcuse: Suffered a miserable childhood and lives with neighbor who harass and bully him everyday.
* GrumpyBear
* HairTriggerTemper
* {{Jerkass}}: Progressively declines as the series progresses.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sometimes sympathetic towards [=SpongeBob=].
* KarmaHoudini: In Grandma's Kisses and Can You Spare a Dime? He is cruel towards [=SpongeBob=] and gets nothing for that. This is very surprising when you realize that in several episodes Squidward is punished just for have been disagreeable.
* KickTheDog: He does this EVERY time [=SpongeBob=]'s near him.
* {{Lack of Empathy}}
* LargeHam
* LethalChef
* NoRespectGuy
* NonstandardCharacterDesign
* OnlySaneMan
** NotSoAboveItAll
* PerpetualFrowner
* PetTheDog: Sometimes shows compassion for others. ''Pizza Delivery'' is the most obvious where [[spoiler: a fish pretty much crushes [=SpongeBob=] for no good reason and Squidward gets ticked off and shoves the pizza down the fish's throat for it.]] Interestingly, these moments often end much better for him at the end of the episode.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to [=SpongeBob=]'s red.
* TheSpock
* SurroundedByIdiots
* StrawLoser: Let's face it, it takes one heck of a ButtMonkey to make the likes of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick look like winners.
* TedBaxter
* ThisLoserIsYou: Probably the most CloserToEarth character in the show, though despite his superior logic and sanity over the rest of the cast, he is often depicted as a TedBaxter that is talentless and unexceptional in reality.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the earlier seasons (Seasons 1-3), Squidward acts like a jerk towards [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick most of the time, but at some points, Squidward can be shown to actually care about them when it came down to it. In later seasons, Squidward became even moreso of a jerk, and takes any opportunity to [[KickTheDog Kick The Sponge]] wherever it can be applied. Not that it's not [[JustifiedTrope justified]] at times.
* UnFunny
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: into a non-anthro octopus (Squid's Day Off) and an amorphus liquid (Suction Cup Symphony).
!!'''Sandy Cheeks'''
->Voiced by: Carolyn Lawrence
An athlete/scientist squirrel from Texas.
* TheAce: Particularity as her appearances get less frequent.
* ActionGirl
* BadassBookworm (Easily the most intelligent in the main cast, but often shown to be as physically strong as [[TheBigGuy Larry the Lobster]]. Also likes life-threatening stunts.)
* BerserkButton: Never ever insult anything/anyone from Texas, or even the state itself. You will regret it, as [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick faced the serious consequences.
** Or rip all of her fur off (Sponge Bob and Patrick do this to her during the hibernation episode, when she finds out she beats them and then uses them as bikinis), or kick her in the butt (Squidward is trying to put a band together, when Sponge Bob asks him if they can start kicking now, Squidward replies that they only do that during chorus lines, then Patrick responds by saying he wants to kick something, he does kick Sandy in the butt, causing her to clobber him with a trombone, he later does it again with the same effect happening).
* CloserToEarth: Flip flops with this. While she is far more intelligent than most of the cast, she is occasionally shown to have a very rowdy and abrasive temperment when pushed. She is also sometimes more aware of her position in this trope [[TedBaxter than she really is]]. Granted as the rest of the cast became Flanderized more and more, her own flaws became less significant.
* DemotedToExtra: Inverted: She and Gary are more common in merchandise than the show.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas
* FishOutOfWater (Played straight, though she's [[CaptainObvious actually a squirrel IN water]])
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric
* GeniusBruiser (see BadassBookworm)
* TheLadette (by many fan [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation interpretations]].)
* OnlySaneWoman
* OutOfFocus (Appears less and less with each season, it seems).
* PantyShot: Frequently
* ParodySue (A few episodes, especially in the Second Season, seem to [[LampshadeHanging make light of]] her [[GodModeSue somewhat lengthy amount of talents]] and [[CanonSue positive aspects]], it also usually being these points she was portrayed in a more flawed light. May count as an example of RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap with those elements considered.
* PinkBoyBlueGirl: Blue Girl to [=SpongeBob=]'s Pink Boy.
* PositiveDiscrimination (Arguable example. Is the most gifted and least flawed central character by miles, though partly due to excessive {{Flanderization}} of the bipedal, male characters. Admittedly it is also balanced by frequent NotSoAboveItAll moments).
** She played it undeniably straight pre-CharacterDevelopment however.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Sandy is the only female who can be considered a main character, and even then [[OutOfFocus her appearances are becoming less frequent]].
* SouthernFriedGenius.
* TedBaxter (Albeit [[DependingOnTheWriter not as consistently]] as Squidward).
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only main character that isn't either a {{Jerkass}} or a moron.
** Her occasional [[TedBaxter ego]] and [[BerserkButton temperament]] can provoke some unfortunate situations in the show (eg. ''Pressure), that said, she is arguably the one recurring character that hasn't had her flaws [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] over her redeeming aspects.
* TooCleverByHalf
!!'''Eugene Harold Krabs'''
->Voiced by: ClancyBrown
A scheming skinflint crustacean and owner of the Krusty Krab. His over-the-top greed and cheapness is played for laughs.
* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Dad]]: Type I
* AFatherToHisMen: At least toward [=SpongeBob=], less so in later seasons.
** [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes.]]
* AnnoyingLaugh
* AntiHero [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III -> Type V]] -> VillainProtagonist.
* ArchEnemy: Plankton.
* BerserkButton: Several.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* DependingOnTheWriter: He can either be a sympathetic guy who has a genuine good core, a {{Jerkass}} who abuses his employees and doesn't care about his daughter that's PlayedForLaughs, or a ruthless SmugSnake who commits extremely dark and serious MoralEventHorizon acts such as relentlessly torturing Plankton that isn't meant to be funny.
** His obsession with money also varies between episodes.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As recently as "The Krusty Sponge" he did have far more limits and nobilities in his greed ([[MyGodWhatHaveIDone or at least felt really bad when he overstepped them, like selling [=SpongeBob=]'s soul in the spur of the moment and the aforementioned Krusty Sponge]]). Prior to his own development, Plankton often represented boundaries and methods in money making that Krabs drawn the line against.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Under a more negative light post-{{Flanderization}}, under a more positive one he falls into more KnightTemplar or WellIntentionedExtremist territory.
** Generally how cruel Krabs acts tends to be a case of RuleOfFunny or DependingOnTheWriter, even in later episodes.
* {{Flanderization}}: Was initially a rather well adjusted and fair natured boss character, [[WeaksauceWeakness just he liked money ''a bit'' too much]]. And even then his greed was often played for laughs, and he had redeeming qualities, such as genuine care for his daughter Pearl, and for [=SpongeBob=]. Now at times he's just a total jerk to anything without a currency value. There's still some episodes that show him as a good guy though.
* FreudianExcuse: One could easily argue that his greed stems from his bad memories of living in poverty until striking it big.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: In "Neptune's Spatula", he gives a little pep talk to [=SpongeBob=]... before betting his money on King Neptune.
* {{Jerkass}}: More and more so each season. Arguably the best example in the show.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: More prominent in earlier episodes, though still has shades of this DependingOnTheWriter.
* KnightTemplar: His occasional treatment of Plankton leans towards this, early on he was merely defending his business from his schemes, now he seems to take offense even when his rival is making legitimate profits or merely isn't miserable.
* KarmaHoudini: In the later seasons, most of his actions go without consequences. Most jarring being One Course Meal where he basically gets away with nearly driving Plankton to suicide.
* {{Lack of Empathy}}: To a great extent.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In the earlier seasons, and "The Scent Of Money".
* LethalChef
* MoneyFetish
* MrViceGuy: When the show started out, he was a decent guy, but a bit greedy.
* PointyHairedBoss
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As a baby.
* TokenEvilTeammate: In later seasons.
* TookALevelInJerkass: After the movie.
!!'''Sheldon James Plankton'''
->Voiced by: Doug Lawrence
Krabs' business rival and arch-enemy. Is always after the formula for the Krabby Patty, the burger that [=SpongeBob=] fries up to the customers. Barring that, he ultimately aims for crushing all of Bikini Bottom beneath his feet.
* ArchEnemy: To Krabs, and sometimes [=SpongeBob=].
* BigBad: In episodes dealing with him and the Chum Bucket.
* BodySnatcher -- A few of his plans involve mentally or physically enslaving someone with or without them being aware of the situation.
* ButtMonkey
** IronButtMonkey: sometimes.
* CakeEater: He is attracted to Mr. Krabs's mother in one episode.
* CardCarryingVillain
* CatchPhrase -- ''"I went to college!"''
** "Ouch."
* TheChewToy
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Although the Chum Bucket could hardly be considered a corporation...
* CutLexLuthorACheck: TropeCodifier
* {{Cyclops}}
* DeadpanSnarker: Though not nearly as profound an example, he can dish it back to Karen at times.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How much he is evil.
* DesignatedMonkey
* DrivenToSuicide
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Karen had a ''really'' good time with this one.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In "Walking Small", he's driven to a VillainousBreakdown after [=SpongeBob=] resolves to be "aggressively nice".
* EvilLaugh
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: With an exception in 'Wishing You Well'.
* HarmlessVillain: In ''FUN'' and ''Spy Buddies''.
* HenpeckedHusband: Has shades of this around Karen.
* ImpossibleThief: In one episode, Mr. Krabs tempts a "reformed" Plankton with a krabby patty. Despite the fact that the patty is always visible and untouched on the table throughout the exchange, it somehow ends up replaced with a cardboard cutout, ''[[BehindTheBlack which Krabs should have seen from his angle, even when it was propped up.]]''
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: In later seasons, but it varies, as sometimes he manages to be the clear cut villain. DependingOnTheWriter.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In the first season episode "FUN".
* LastNameBasis: Though in his case, he considers Sheldon an EmbarrassingFirstName.
* LethalChef: The reason why he doesn't have customers.
* TheNapoleon -- Being constantly ''literally'' stepped on and flung around like a piece of trash will mess with a plankton's mind, man.
* NiceGuysFinishLast: Says this word-for-word in "Walking Small".
* NotSoHarmless: In the movie and "Plankton's Army". There are other episodes that demonstrate this though.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SmugSnake
* TakeOverTheWorld: His secondary goal, DependingOnTheWriter.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Sometimes. He varies from being on Sandy's level in terms of intelligence to being barely smarter than other characters.
* UnknownRival: Sometimes [=SpongeBob=] doesn't acknowledge him as an enemy.
!!'''Karen'''
->Voiced by: Jill Talley
Plankton's business computer and robotic spouse. Being blessed with a complex sentient programming, Karen is well aware of her "husband's" stupidity and is [[DeadpanSnarker very verbal about it as well]].
* AIIsACrapshoot: Seems more competent and intelligent than Plankton, but also has the personality of a nagging housewife, and thus is usually more preoccupied in nagging at her husband's failures or whining for affection.
* BeleagueredAssistant
* CharacterDevelopment: Was originally a generic computer in her debut in "Plankton". Was granted a sentience in later episodes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Of the tallest order.
* DemotedToExtra
* {{Flanderization}}: Her DeadpanSnarker mannerisms. Initially merely acted frustrated and sarcastic on odd occasions due to Plankton's bumbling. Now she is perpetually throwing insults at her spouse.
* GreenEyes
* HyperCompetentSideKick: She successfully stole a Krabby Patty first time she tried alone with near zero effort (then again, it was against Squidward).
* JustAStupidAccent: Had an obnoxious Boston accent even [[CharacterizationMarchesOn before she had a personality]].
* PetTheDog: Perpetually snarky and nagging towards her husband, and is suggested to [[ActuallyPrettyFunny even find some of his suffering amusing]], nevertheless she does love him, deep, ''deep'' down.
* RoboticSpouse: Yes and no. Yes, Karen is a robot (okay, she's technically an extremely sarcastic computer...). But no, it's never fully explained how/when she was built, or when she and Plankton were married (if they're even married). Plankton may have originally built her to be the perfect wife or just a generic computer, but since AIIsACrapshoot, her AI may have evolved into the snarky computer you see today.
* SatelliteCharacter: She has pretty much no interaction with anybody other than Plankton. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], seeing as how she's a computer...
* SmugSnake
!!'''Gary'''
->Voiced by: TomKenny
[=SpongeBob's=] pet snail, who meows like a cat.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Varies. Sometimes he acts like any other domestic animal, other times he can use RaymanianLimbs and understand [=SpongeBob=] well enough to hold conversations.
* CatsAreMean: Under the show's theory of snails existing as an Expy for cats. Subverted for the most part, though he has his occasional Jerkass moments like most of the cast (''Dumped'' shows he can be a rather fickle bastard).
* FurryConfusion: Averted
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* OddNameOut: The only one of the main characters whose full name has nothing to do with his species.
* OutOfFocus: more of a background character nowadays. Unlike Sandy, he pretty much is sticking to this.
* SilentSnarker
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Despite all of them [[CaptainObvious being sea creatures and all]] (except Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy). Even if the [[TheUnintelligible audience will never be able to figure out what he's saying,]] [=SpongeBob=]'s retorts to whatever he says show that he is rather snarky.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Somewhat of an example; in his few appearance he was treated as a recurring nemesis.
