2	{{Foil}} in this franchise.
3	----
4	* [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward. [=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.
5	* Patrick to [=SpongeBob=]. They're both ditzy {{Manchild}}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.
6	* Mr. Krabs to Squidward. 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:
7	** Mr. Krabs is considerably armed and served in the Navy, ultimately justifying his power to take down various antagonists.
8	** 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.
9	* Sandy to [=SpongeBob=]. While both of them are dorky, energetic and eccentric [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Critters]] who like karate, their personalities differ in that:
10	** [=SpongeBob=] is a naïve and kooky [[TheDitz Ditz]] who's childish, pestering, wimpy, cowardly, and generally ignorant in all but a few topic areas,
11	** Sandy is a mature, tough, bold, and intelligent individual who more often than not plays the OnlySaneWoman role.
