History Foil / SpongeBobSquarePants

* Patrick to [=SpongeBob=]. They're both ditzy {{Man Child}}ren who share such interests as jellyfishing and bubble blowing, but while [=SpongeBob=] is something of a NeatFreak, a {{Workaholic}} able to hold down a steady job and often proves to be TheAce at whatever he tries ([[EpicFail except driving]]), Patrick is a FatSlob, a LazyBum who never stays employed for long, and is shown to be so incompetent he can't even sweep or open a jar without outside help, but can drive surprisingly well.

* The Cyclops to Plankton. They both share similar traits, such as being evil, having one eye, and running their respective establishment. The differences being that Plankton is the smallest villain that often gets stepped on by nearly everyone under the sea, while the Cyclops is the largest villain in the movie that can easily step on any sea creature seen so far.

* Mr. Krabs to Squidward Tentacles. While both of them have no tolerance for funny business, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold have good hearts every now and then in spite of their jerkassery]], respond to [=SpongeBob=]'s childish behavior with sarcasm, and have gone as far as to plot fatal schemes to get him killed, they're different from each other in that:

* Sandy Cheeks to [=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]. While both of them are dorky, energetic and eccentric [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Critters]] who like karate, their personalities differ in that:

* [=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=] and Squidward Tentacles. [=SpongeBob=] is described as perpetually optimistic, and happy, cares for others, and loves his job whereas Squidward is unhappy, self-absorbent, hates his job, and is a PerpetualFrowner. This is perhaps the reason why Squidward was appointed as the manager over [=SpongeBob=] in TheMovie, since he was more mature for the job while [=SpongeBob=] acts childish despite being a legal adult.

*** Mr. Krabs is considerably armed and served in the Navy, ultimately justifying his power to take down various antagonists.
*** Squidward is emotionally sensitive and insecure when in private, becomes timid whenever he suffers a horrible fate, and has become an exploit of Krabs's horrible schemes himself.

*** [=SpongeBob=] is a naïve and kooky [[TheDitz Ditz]] who's childish, pestering, wimpy, cowardly, and generally ignorant in all but a few topic areas,
*** Sandy is a mature, tough, bold, and intelligent individual who more often than not plays the OnlySaneWoman role.
