| 12 | [[caption-width-right:350:Hi, Spongebob. I'm gunna kick your butt.]] |
| 13 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ThomasFWilson\ |
| 14 | '''Debut:''' "Sandy's Rocket" |
| 15 | |
| 16 | A bully at Mrs. Puff's Boating School who wants to kick [=SpongeBob's=] butt. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * AbusiveOffspring: At one point Spongebob tries to appeal to Flats father for help, only for it to turn out he's also terrified of Flats as he's apparently kicked his butt in the past. |
| 19 | * ActorAllusion: He's the primary antagonist of the episode who's the threatening central bully to [=SpongeBob=]. He was also voiced by Creator/ThomasFWilson, as he portrays a bullying character in the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' movies known as Biff Tannen, who's essentially an ArchEnemy bully to Marty [=McFly=]. |
| 20 | * AscendedExtra: He was a background character for a few early episodes before coming into the spotlight as the infamous bully he's known as now. |
| 21 | * BigBad: He's the main villain in "The Bully." |
| 22 | * BlatantLies: He employs obvious lies very often, especially when covering his own ass. The most notable one is when he convinces Mrs. Puff that where he's from, saying that you want to kick someone's butt means you want to befriend them. |
| 23 | * TheBully: He threatens to kick [=SpongeBob=]'s butt the minute he lays eyes on him. |
| 24 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm gonna kick your butt." |
| 25 | * DemotedToExtra: After his ADayInTheLimelight episode, he returns to being a background character. Like fellow bully Bubble Bass, he was absent for several years before returning. Unlike Bubble Bass, however, he has yet to have a speaking role in the later seasons. |
| 26 | * TheDeterminator: Much like [[Film/TheHitcher John Ryder]] it's impossible for [=SpongeBob=] to avoid him for long. |
| 27 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared in "Sandy's Rocket" as one of the people that [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick kidnap. |
| 28 | * EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Love is probably pushing it, but Patrick and him seem to get along swimmingly. |
| 29 | * FlatCharacter: And not just because he's a flounder. His only character trait is wanting to kick butts. |
| 30 | * ForTheEvulz: The episode doesn't give him a reason to want to kick [=SpongeBob's=] butt beyond just because. |
| 31 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His excessive brute force being used on [=SpongeBob=] (who can't even feel a thing) and constant assault is what tires him out where he's punched him so many times, he can barely even attack him from a standing position along with his poorly made swings, and passes out. |
| 32 | * {{Jerkass}}: He has absolutely no reason to antagonize [=SpongeBob=], but does so anyway. |
| 33 | * KarmaHoudini: For someone who had nothing better to do than to perform antagonistic things he attempted towards [=SpongeBob=] other than wanting to beat the daylights out of him such as ''trying to run him over with a garbage truck'' of all things, somehow he doesn't even receive any form of punishment for his pointlessly violent intentions. Subverted where after he failed to even physically hurt [=SpongeBob=] at all, no matter how many times he's punched him for days on end, he finally collapses from utter exhaustion. This gets seemingly double subverted where after Mrs. Puff arrives at the worst time to see Flats lying unconscious as [=SpongeBob=] was holding his fist up in the air, making her come to the conclusion that '''[=SpongeBob=]''' himself is the aggressor, even though he's literally done nothing wrong. |
| 34 | * PetTheDog: An oddball example. While still willing to beat up [=SpongeBob=], [[UngratefulBastard in spite of the former saving his life]], Flats is nonetheless touched by it and is estatic [=SpongeBob=] brought him flowers. |
| 35 | * PunchClockVillain: Apparently when he's not trying to kick someone's butt, he can be a chill guy. He remains friends with Patrick some several years after they attended community college together. |
| 36 | * PushoverParents: His father is terrified of him. |
| 37 | * UngratefulBastard: He ''still'' wants to beat [=SpongeBob=] up even after the latter performs CPR on him. |

| 45 | '''Debut:''' "Wormy" |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Sandy's pet caterpillar, who turned into a butterfly. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * ArtifactName: Despite being a caterpillar, he's still called "Wormy". After he metamorphosized into a butterfly, that only made him less like a worm than before. |
| 50 | * TheDreaded: Inadvertently becomes this to [=SpongeBob=], Patrick and the rest of Bikini Bottom when he transforms into a butterfly overnight, causing mass hysteria even though he's harmless. |
| 51 | * JumpScare: Whenever someone stares at Wormy, it's usually accompnaied by a sudden closeup of a buzzing horsefly following by anyone who saw Wormy screaming and running away. |
| 52 | * NonIndicativeName: He's named "Wormy" even though he's actually a caterpillar who later becomes a butterfly. |

| 58 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker\ |
| 59 | '''Debut:''' "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic" |
| 60 | |
| 61 | An obnoxious sea cucumber, who [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick formerly admire and idolize. |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | * AssholeVictim: He constantly gets injured when he tries to get [=SpongeBob=] hurt. [[spoiler:And he gets the fronds on his head torn off at the end of his episode]]. It should be BodyHorror, but he deserved it for the massive jerk he was being. |
| 64 | * BrokenPedestal: [=SpongeBob=] immediately loses his admiration toward Kevin upon realizing how much of a jerk he truly is. |
| 65 | * CrownShapedHead: [[spoiler:Near the end of the episode, his "crown" is revealed to actually be part of his head.]] |
| 66 | * ForTheEvulz: He picks on and belittles [=SpongeBob=] and then tries to ''drive him off a cliff'' for no apparent reason behind his own amusement. And later it's implied that he's done this to all of his "biggest fans". |
| 67 | * HateSink: One of the biggest deliberately unlikable characters in the series along with Bubble Bass and Squilliam. Coincidentally, ''all three characters'' were voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker. |
| 68 | * IWantMyMommy: Breaks down and cries for his mama after he and the other Jelly Spotters are trapped by the King Jellyfish. |
| 69 | -->Help me, Mommy! Help me, Mommy! I want my blankie! I want my blankie! |
| 70 | * {{Jerkass}}: He acts smug and antagonistic towards [=SpongeBob=], and his tests are just hopes of [=SpongeBob=] getting seriously hurt. |
| 71 | * KarmicButtMonkey: Kevin ends up getting injured a few times in this episode. Considering how much of a jerkass he is, his butt monkey status is well deserved. |
| 72 | * KickTheDog: The way he taunts [=SpongeBob=] after he realizes that the Queen Jellyfish was fake was definitely the cruelest thing he did to him in the episode. |
| 73 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: The end of his first appearance reveals that he actually knows ''nothing'' about jellyfish, and the only reason he got into jellyfishing in the first place was because of the merchandise. |
| 74 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After ''everything'' Kevin did toward [=SpongeBob=] throughout the episode, the other Jellyspotters rightfully punish him by ripping off his CrownShapedHead and exiling him. [=SpongeBob=] also rightfully turns down the offer to join, having realized it's not about Kevin, but the jellyfish themselves. |
| 75 | * MilesGloriosus: An apparent expert at jellyfish hunting, if not the ''king'' of the activity. When King Jellyfish arrives on the scene, he becomes a sniveling coward who leaves it up to [=SpongeBob=] to deal with. |
| 76 | * NerdyBully: While Kevin has all the outward trappings of a nerd (nasal voice, niche interests, and even a pocket protector), he behaves more like a mean-spirited fratboy; he leads an exclusive clique, decides what's fashionable and what isn't, and enjoys hazing "losers" like [=SpongeBob=] after baiting them with the promise of getting into the club. |
| 77 | * NoodleIncident: The King Jellyfish gets ''really'' angry when it sees him, implying that the two have some sort of history. It even bellows his name the minute it notices him. |
| 78 | -->'''King Jellyfish:''' ''KEEEEEEVIINNNNN!!!'' |
| 79 | * PunnyName: His initial is C and his last name is Cucumber. He's a sea cucumber. |
| 80 | * TheReveal: |
| 81 | ** He actually doesn't know ''anything'' about Jellyfishing, and just got in Jellyfishing for the fashionable merchandise. |
| 82 | ** It's also Played for BlackComedy. [[spoiler: His "crown" is actually part of his head, and the other Jellyspotters basically ripped off the top of his head and gave it to [=SpongeBob=].]] |
| 83 | * SmugSnake: Constantly attempts to sabotage [=SpongeBob=]'s attempts to get into the Jelly Spotters and is always convinced that his plans won't fail. Except they ''do'' fail. Constantly. [[HilarityEnsues And hilariously]]. |
| 84 | * SpeciesSurname: He's a sea cucumber, and Cucumber happens to be his last name. |
| 85 | * StealthInsult: The crown is the ''butt'' of the sea cucumber. Kevin literally has an asshat (or a butthead). |
| 86 | * UngratefulBastard: Even after [=SpongeBob=] saves his life, he's ''still'' a massive jerk to him! This prompts the Jellyspotters to turn on him and evict him from the club. |
| 87 | * VisualPun: A sea cucumber who looks like an actual cucumber. |

| 107 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Tibbitt\ |
| 108 | '''Debut:''' "Frankendoodle" |
| 109 | |
| 110 | [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's creation, a crude doodle of [=SpongeBob=] come to life, and on an UnstoppableRage. |
| 111 | ---- |
| 112 | * AbusiveOffspring: He's both [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's creation. Unfortunately, he holds no love for his creators and won't hesitate to erase them too. |
| 113 | * AndIMustScream: Inverted when [=SpongeBob=] trapped him in paper, making him GoOutWithASmile. However, this was how [=SpongeBob=] justified [=DoodleBob=]'s UnstoppableRage; He longed for a purpose that he could not fulfill as a crude drawing in a 3-dimensional world. |
| 114 | * AngryEyebrows: Even provides the trope image! Once he's sufficiently angred off, he draws a pair of these on his own face. |
| 115 | * AxCrazy: He seems to love random violence against others. When left to his own devices, he runs around babbling wildly, brandishing the giant pencil like a sword even when there's no one around. |
| 116 | * BigBad: He is the main villain in the [=SpongeBob=] edition of ''VideoGame/DrawnToLife''. You end up [[RecurringBoss fighting him on three seperate occasions]] before he's finally subdued. |
| 117 | * TheBusCameBack: He returns in "Doodle Dimension" after Patrick accidentally redraws him BackFromTheDead. |
| 118 | * FromASingleCell: When [=SpongeBob=] destroys [=DoodleBob=] the first time, he forgets to erase Doodle's arm. Despite the rest of him being erased, the disembodied arm [[OrganAutonomy develops a mind of its own]] and re-draws [=DoodleBob=] exactly as he was before. |
| 119 | * GoOutWithASmile: When [=SpongeBob=] traps him in a book (presumably killing him off), his face goes from angry and confused to a genuinely happy smile. |
| 120 | * GreenEyedMonster: Implied by his attempt to pull a KillAndReplace on [=SpongeBob!=]. |
| 121 | ** ''VideoGame/DrawnToLife'' ''[=SpongeBob=] Edition'' offers further evidence for this. He eventually creates his own version of Bikini Bottom on the Moon as well as Doodle copies of Patrick and Sandy. |
| 122 | * TheGrotesque: Compared to [=SpongeBob=], he's definitely uglier. |
| 123 | * IKnowMaddenKombat: At one point, he doodles a bowling ball before tossing it at Patrick for some painful results. In ''VideoGame/DrawnToLife'' ''[=SpongeBob=] Edition'', he reuses this tactic as an attack every time he's fought. He must really like bowling. |
| 124 | * KillAndReplace: [=DoodleBob=] saying "You Doodle, me [=SpongeBob!=]" suggests his goal near the end of his debut episode is to erase [=SpongeBob=] and take his place. |
| 125 | * MadEye: Due to [=SpongeBob=]’s poor drawing skills, one eye is a lot bigger than the other. |
| 126 | * NightmareFace: He isn't very pleasant to look at. |
| 127 | * OneWingedAngel: The FinalBoss fight of ''VideoGame/DrawnToLife'' ''[=SpongeBob=] Edition'' has him turned gigantic with his face entirely covered in scribbles that give him a shadowy NightmareFace with sharp [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and a JaggedMouth. The first phase of the fight involves smacking his face with the giant pencil's eraser gradually revealing more and more of his real face. He's rendered vulnerable to damage once his real face is fully exposed but [[TurnsRed he also becomes faster and more aggressive while using a wider variety of attacks.]] |
| 128 | * SuperStrength: He can easily smash through rocks and throw people. |
| 129 | * TragicVillain: How [=SpongeBob=] described him. |
| 130 | -->'''Patrick:''' It's the evil doodle!\ |
| 131 | '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' No, no, not evil. He was just a two dimensional creature, lost in our three dimensional aquatic world, [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife longing for a purpose.]] |
| 132 | ** Explored more in ''VideoGame/DrawnToLife'' ''[=SpongeBob=] Edition''. While he causes a lot of mischief with his Doodle army, he eventually decides to escape to the Moon where he's doodled an entire city modeled after Bikini Bottom. After the FinalBoss fight, Spongebob stops Squidward from [[SwordOverHead erasing a defeated Doodlebob once and for all.]] Spongebob concludes that Doodlebob [[GreenEyedMonster was just jealous]] and wanted his own Bikini Bottom [[IJustWantToHaveFriends with his own group of friends.]] Spongebob chooses to spare Doodlebob, merely redrawing his face so he can be happier and friendlier. It seems to do the trick as [[HeelFaceTurn he makes peace with the heroes]] [[DefeatMeansFriendship and even befriends]] [[PlayerCharacter Doodlepants.]] |
| 133 | * TheUnintelligible: His speech is mostly random gibberish even when he's legitimately trying to say something. |
| 134 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Given that it's strongly implied he wanted to erase [=SpongeBob=] and take his place, he's definitely a rather dark villain for this kind of show, given that Plankton was a HarmlessVillain and the Flying Dutchman wanted to be left alone. |

| 142 | '''Debut:''' "Graveyard Shift" |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Legend, or rather, Squidward, has it that a fry cook cut off his own hand with a spatula and was subsequently killed by a passing bus. Now his ghost haunts the Krusty Krab every Tuesday night with a vengeance. |
| 145 | |
| 146 | Little does Squidward know that there is more to his ghost story than he realized... or less, rather. |
| 147 | ---- |
| 148 | * AccidentalTruth: Zig-zagged. Squidward told the made-up story of The Hash Slinging Slasher, only for all of these details of the story to start happening in real life, and then we're given one final rug pull, when "The Hash-Slinging Slasher" [[EmergingFromTheShadows emerges from the shadows]] and [[spoiler:we find out he's just a harmless nerdy dork named Richard.]] |
| 149 | * ArtificialLimbs: The Hash Slinging Slasher replaced his severed arm with a spatula. |
| 150 | * ButtMonkey: The Hash Slinging Slasher accidentally chopped his own limb off, got hit by a bus, and at his funeral, he was fired from his job. |
| 151 | * ElectromagneticGhosts: One of the signs of his arrival is that the lights will flicker on and off. [[spoiler:Subverted; that was actually Film/{{Nosferatu}}]]. |
| 152 | %%* EmergingFromTheShadows: That's how the Hash Slinging Slasher or "Richard" makes his debut. - How? |
| 153 | * RecurringExtra: In the newest seasons, [[spoiler:Richard]] has become a semi-recurring background character. |
| 154 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His silhouette makes a pair of scowling, glowing red eyes the only part of him clearly visible. [[spoiler:Subverted, as what appears to be the Hash Slinging Slasher's "eyes" are actually just Richard's nostrils.]] |
| 155 | * SuddenNameChange: The credits for "Graveyard Shift" as well as DVD extras related to season 2 refer to him as [[spoiler:Richard,]] while ''VideoGame/SpongeBobsTruthOrSquare'' calls him [[spoiler:Hervy.]] Officially, he is known as "Incidental 189," suggesting he doesn't actually have a canon name. |
| 156 | * TheUnreveal: [[spoiler:Turns out that the horrifying silhouette of the Hash Slinging Slasher was just a regular guy named "Richard" all along, just politely applying for a job.]] |
| 157 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's the main antagonist of one of the darkest episodes of the early seasons and his arrival is played almost completely seriously as Squidward realizes he told an AccidentalTruth about him. [[spoiler:Thankfully in his final scene, it turns out he's not a villain at all and is just some guy wanting a job application.]] |

| 165 | A colossal worm feared by the citizens of Bikini Bottom when it rampaged through it, eating anything in its path. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * AscendedExtra: Has made a couple of cameos in other [=SpongeBob=] source material, its most prominent appearance being in ''VideoGame/SpongebobSquarepantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab'' as the game's resident WombLevel. |
| 168 | * TheDreaded: One of the few legitimate examples in the series, being a monster worm capable of devouring anything. |
| 169 | * ExtremeOmnivore: The Alaskan Bull Worm has an appetite for just about anything it comes across. This is taken to its logical extreme in ''VideoGame/SpongebobSquarepantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab'' where its bowels are littered with inedible junk that can't be digested. |
| 170 | * RedHerring: When Sandy encounters what she believes is the Worm inside a "cave", she manages to give it a beating and tie it up, only for [=SpongeBob=] to tell her that what she just defeated isn't the Worm itself, but its tongue. |
| 171 | * YourSizeMayVary: For most of the episode, while certainly very large, it could still conceivably move through Bikini Bottom's streets. But at the very end, it's large enough to crush the entire city beneath its bulk. |

| 183 | * BrokenPedestal: [=SpongeBob=] discovers that Kenny secretly uses an oxygen tank hidden in his fur to regain his breath. Kenny manages to convince [=SpongeBob=] to keep it a secret, but his cover is blown after Sandy calls his bluff and pressures him to explain how he's managed to hold his breath for so long. |
| 184 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Kenny wants to be famous underwater because on the surface, there's nothing remarkable about him. [=SpongeBob=] suggests he could be famous just for being a mammal that lives underwater, similar to Sandy, though she shuts it down by sending Kenny home right then and there. |
| 185 | * ShoutOut: He looks similar to Tom from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''. |

| 216 | * EverybodyHasStandards: The entire extended family is disgusted and frightened upon learning that the secret ingredient to the Krabby Patty is (supposedly) [[ImAHumanitarian plankton]], to the point that they run away because of it. |
| 217 | * FeudingFamilies: Plankton's relatives, cousins included, are mortal enemies with Narlene and Nobby's family, as revealed in "Something Narwhal This Way Comes." |
| 218 | * NeverLearnedToRead: Clem is illiterate, which results in him not reacting to the reveal that Krabby Patties supposedly contain plankton. |

| 255 | |
| 256 | The skeleton of a dead fish, who was buried with a soda drinking hat. |
| 257 | ---- |
| 258 | * TheAce: While it's never stated what exactly Smitty did when he was alive, it was enough to have his tombstone shaped like a giant "#1", and he's apparently popular enough to have a whole army of zombies who would fight to help him retrieve his stolen soda drinking hat. |
| 259 | * AccidentalTruth: Mr. Krabs makes up his name on the spot, when pressed about the original owner of the soda hat, but it turns out there really was a Smitty [=WerbenJagerManJansen=] who owned the hat, died, and had it stolen from him. |
| 260 | * DecapitationPresentation: Inverted, when he carried his own dismembered head when rising from the grave. |
| 261 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Smitty becomes disgusted when Mr. Krabs mentions that his undead army will eat out his innards and leave his corpse for the buzzards. He just simply wants to take his hat back from him. |
| 262 | * HeroAntagonist: He's the undead leader of a hoarde of Zombies, but his only goal is to get his property back from a guy who stole it. They're antagonists because Mr. Krabs is the [[VillainProtagonist lead character]] of that episode. |
| 263 | * MellowFellow: He seems oddly calm for a zombie, and the only reason he has his army fight Mr. Krabs is to get his prized hat back from the man who stole it. |
| 264 | * OverlyLongName: Smitty [=WerbenJagerManJansen=]. It's so long that his tombstone can't even fit the whole name on it, requiring two planks to be posted to it so they could fit in (and even then, they ''still'' couldn't fit the "Jager" part on.) |

| 274 | Mrs Puff's replacement in ''"Mrs Puff You're Fired"''. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * ArtisticLicenseMilitary: He's stated to be a Sergeant, yet his jacket only has the markings of a Corporal. Two chevrons instead of three. |
| 277 | * AllThereInTheScript: His name is not mentioned in-episode, only in the credits. |
| 278 | * CripplingOverspecialization: With his methods, Sergeant Roderick teaches [=SpongeBob=] to become an excellent driver, something Mrs. Puff herself couldn't accomplish... except Spongebob can only drive ''exactly'' how he was taught, which was ''blindfolded''. When Sarge informs [=SpongeBob=] it's illegal to drive with a blindfold in public and makes him remove it for the test, [=SpongeBob=] does disastrously, only managing to park the vehicle when he gets accidentally blinded. |
| 279 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: He forces [=SpongeBob=] to learn how to drive while blindfolded. He actually succeeds, but fails to consider that [=SpongeBob=] wouldn't know how to drive without a blindfold. |
| 280 | * DrillSergeantNasty: In that classic LargeHam fashion that ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' made famous. But it's mostly just ''Tough Love'' as he actually does care about Spongebob, in his own way. Just like the film, however, [[DeconstructedTrope the flaws in this trope come in too.]] He drives away his entire class except [=SpongeBob=], his harsh methods only manage to teach [=SpongeBob=] how to drive in a way that's useless, and just like ''Full Metal Jacket'', his teaching methods may have gotten him killed. |
| 281 | * EpicFail: |
| 282 | ** Roderick teaching [=SpongeBob=] how to drive blindfolded, as it results in [=SpongeBob=] being unable to drive properly unless he wears one. |
| 283 | ** His attempt to stop the out-of-control boat just results in him being knocked away and presumably {{killed|OffForReal}} while the boat continues on regardless. |
| 284 | ** His introduction scares his entire class away except Spongebob, who is incompetent behind a boat. |

| 321 | * ObliviouslyEvil: It's likely he always interpreted his childhood fights with [=SpongeBob=] as harmless fun rather than bullying, whereas [=SpongeBob=] saw him as a psychopathic brute. [[spoiler:In the present, he still likes to tussle, but since [=SpongeBob=] has gotten a lot bigger in the intervening years, he has no reason to be afraid of [=BlackJack=] anymore, so he laughs it off.]] |

| 334 | ---- |
| 335 | * ActorAllusion: Possibly. Jim is an insanely good fry cook played by Patton Oswalt, much like Remy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', which came out around the same time as his debut episode. |
| 336 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His skills as a fry cook are even greater than Spongebob's, and he was considered the "Best Employee Ever" by Mr. Krabs. |
| 337 | * TheDogBitesBack: He was mistreated and underpaid by Mr. Krabs, so he left and caused the Krusty Krab to fall into disrepair. It's unclear if he knew the Krabby Patty Secret Formula, but if he did, he effectively achieved what Plankton had been targeting for years. |
| 338 | * SupremeChef: Perhaps the greatest in the series. |
| 339 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He firmly believes that Spongebob could do so much better than he is right now as a fry cook, seeing his talents as wasted by Mr. Krabs, and that if he wanted to make it anywhere in life, Spongebob would be better off leaving the Krusty Krab forever like Jim did.

| 349 | A vicious fish whom [=SpongeBob=] bought for Gary so he could have a playmate to keep him company while his owner is at work, and [=SpongeBob=] thinks Gary is ignoring him whenever he attacks him when not present. In reality, despite his seemingly harmless appearance, he, along with other members of his species, is extremely dangerous and hostile toward other pets, especially snails. |
| 350 | ---- |
| 351 | * BeneathTheMask: Don't trust his cute appearance one bit. |
| 352 | * BerserkButton: '''Don't you ever''' put him in a house with another pet. [=SpongeBob=] should've learned this the hard way, but sadly suffers no punishment for his jerkish behavior toward Gary. |
| 353 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: At a first glance, he seems like an adorable, innocent little creature, but once exposed to another pet (sea snails especially), all hell will break loose. |
| 354 | * TheBusCameBack: He, or his species somewhat, makes a cameo appearance in "Gary & Spot", where he's shown to be more on good terms with the two. |
| 355 | * CartoonCreature: He resembles a blowfish, piranha or angler fish in cute form, while his monster form resembles more of an eel. His species was in fact unnamed throughout the episode, though certain source releases call him a "nudibranch". |
| 356 | * CutenessProximity: His cute form, which is enough to even woo [=SpongeBob=] into completely ignoring his warning from the seller and even straight-up ''steal'' him and take him home. |
| 357 | * EatenAlive: Almost did this to Gary and later on [=SpongeBob=], the latter especially [[LaserGuidedKarma as a comeuppance]] [[JerkassBall for the way he treated Gary]] throughout the episode. |
| 358 | * IronicName: He's anything but puffy ''or'' fluffy. |
| 359 | * {{Jerkass}}: He solely exists to endanger the lives of other pets -- especially snails. |

| 361 | * KarmaHoudini: Downplayed, although Gary does succeed in driving him away, Puffy Fluffy faces no other consequences for attacking him and [=SpongeBob=] and destroying their house; [=SpongeBob=] himself doesn't even realize Puffy was trying to kill him! |
| 362 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His teeth are very jagged and nasty-looking, complete with prehensile tongues with extra teeth! |
| 363 | * OneShotCharacter: Only appears in "A Pal for Gary". |
| 364 | * TroublemakingNewPet: Was gotten by [=SpongeBob=] so Gary won't be lonely, but he ''hates'' other pets, and brawls Gary for the sake of it. When [=SpongeBob=] returns, he thinks Gary is responsible for roughhousing his "pal". |

| 489 | '''Tom:''' No! [[DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs But are we gonna wait around until he does?!?]] |
| 490 | * ComedicSociopath: He qualifies to some extent, given how unpredictably hostile he can be. |
| 491 | * DemotedToExtra: He, like Scooter, was more prominent in the first three seasons, but then became demoted to more non-speaking roles. |
| 492 | * HairTriggerTemper: He has gotten angry more than one time, which implies why he has a tendency to yell. |
| 493 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he often gets angry over the smallest things, he can be nice to the other background characters, mainly Fred, who is implied to be his best friend. |
| 494 | * LargeHam: A prime example is when he chases after [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick for selling him chocolate in "Chocolate with Nuts". ''''CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!'''' |
| 495 | * NoIndoorVoice: He shouts a ''lot'' of his dialogue. |
| 496 | * NewJobAsThePlotDemands: He's been a bartender, a cameraman, a mattress salesman, a tour bus driver, an actor, a retirement home orderly, a business executive, a dentist, and a bank teller. |
| 497 | * OnlySaneMan: Tom is usually this due to his laid-back behavior. [[AxCrazy except when he's not]]. |
| 498 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Although he's one of the sanest characters, he goes berserk when during his infamous screaming of chocolate. |
| 499 | * RealMenWearPink: He shows shades of this in the episode "Tutor Sauce", where he sadly says his patty taste like sadness. |
| 500 | * SeriousBusiness: Apparently food. It took three days to make the potato salad [=SpongeBob=] inadvertently ruined in "No Weenies Allowed", he screamed at [=SpongeBob=] for forgetting his drink in "Pizza Delivery", nearly assaulted [=SpongeBob=] for supposedly tainting his drink in "Fools in April", screaming at his kids to eat their patties in 'Mimic Madness', holding in his anger when his son hated his ice cream in 'Hocus Pocus', and of course his infamous screaming of "CHOCOLATE!" in "Chocolate with Nuts". |
| 501 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Do we even have to say what his favorite food is? ''''CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!'''' |

| 507 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CarlosAlazraqui\ |
| 508 | '''Debut:''' ''"Ripped Pants"'' |
| 509 | |
| 510 | A purple surfer fish who appears mostly in the background, but has some major roles. |
| 511 | ---- |
| 512 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He is indeed friendly, but sometimes joins the riot with the other incidental characters. |
| 513 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Subverted. He appears to be killed off in a contrived manner when he drowns in "Bubble Buddy", but he comes back in later episodes alive and well. Unless he's a ghost and Nickelodeon's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I4sVQ04dIo Bikini Bottom Mysteries]] episode on him can be taken with some degree of canon. |
| 514 | * DemotedToExtra: He was more prominent in the first three seasons, but then became demoted to more non-speaking roles. |
| 515 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He was just as offended as everyone else by [=SpongeBob=] pretending to drown in "Ripped Pants", and can only muster up a solemn "[[DudeNotFunny Dude...]]" to express his disappointment in him afterwards. |
| 516 | * NiceGuy: Much less unpleasant compared to the majority of the other fish. |
| 517 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being a NiceGuy, he has no problem being hostile like the other incidental characters at times. |
| 518 | * RecurringExtra: Whenever there's an episode set at Goo Lagoon, he's usually there. |
| 519 | * SignatureLaugh: He has a recognizably fast-paced "haw-hawhahwhawhaw" laugh. |
| 520 | * SurferDude: He can usually been seen indulging in the sport at the beach, and he has the drawl and lingo to match. |
| 521 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Seems to be this among the other incidentals, as he isn't as antagonistic or hostile as them. |
| 522 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: The friendliest incidental is the one who gets killed the most. First by drowning, second by inhaling bad breath and third by being TooDumbToLive. |
| 523 | * TheyKilledKenny: He died several times but came back in later episodes thanks to NegativeContinuity. |
| 524 | ** In "Bubble Buddy", he apparently drowned when [=SpongeBob=] left him buried up to his neck on the beach. He appeared later in that episode as a angel. |
| 525 | ** In "Something Smells", he gets killed by [=SpongeBob=]'s bad breath. |
| 526 | ** In "My Pretty Seahorse", after he thinks Mystery the seahorse is a ride and inserts a coin into her, she kicks him and he explodes where he lands. |

| 532 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker\ |
| 533 | '''Debut:''' Ripped Pants |
| 534 | A very calm yellow fish who mostly appears as a background character. However, he did have a major role in the episode "Plankton's Regular". |
| 535 | ---- |
| 536 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The episode "Plankton's Regular" was all about Nat becoming a regular customer at The Chum Bucket. The episode's climax revealed, however, that he wasn't going regularly- Karen was actually paying him to do, and after he can stomach no more chum, he gives up on the deal. |
| 537 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: In "Squid Baby", Nat steals Fred's "My Leg!" catchphrase, in a rather witty and subversive manner. |
| 538 | -->'''Nat:''' ''[horrified]'' MY FACE! MY FACE! ''[flatly]'' Also my leg, ''[horrified]'' BUT MOSTLY MY FACE!!! |
| 539 | * ContinuityDrift: Nat's name has changed from episode to episode, often being "Tucker" or "Peterson" (as his first name). However, the Bikini Bottom Mysteries episode, titled him "Nat Peterson", making this the closest we have to an official name. |
| 540 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be just as hostile and antagonistic as most of the incidentals, but he isn't a bad person aside from that. |
| 541 | * MellowFellow: Generally pretty chill & laid-back, but like the other background characters, he isn't someone to forget to join the riot. |

| 547 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MrLawrence\ |
| 548 | '''Debut:''' Ripped Pants |
| 549 | A cranky blue fish with a shark fin who wears red trunks. Despite being a minor character, he is among the extras with the most appearances across the series. |
| 550 | ---- |
| 551 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the first season and parts of the second season (before character models were revised), he was typically completely naked. |
| 552 | * {{Flanderization}}: In the first season, Harold started off as a character who only got angry if things didn’t go his way, however, as of the second season, he gets angry over quite everything! |
| 553 | * GivenNameReveal: His name was revealed in "Roller Cowards". |
| 554 | * HairTriggerTemper: Similar to Tom, He’s frequently depicted as quick to anger. |
| 555 | * IHaveManyNames: As demonstrated above, his name is never consistent across the series. |
| 556 | * {{Jerkass}}: Frequently unpleasant and rude to everyone. |
| 557 | * NutritionalNightmare: "Just One Bite" opens with him ordering a king-size Ultra Krabby Supreme with the works, double batter fried, on a stick, with a bottle of mayonnaise on the side. |
| 558 | * PetTheDog: He has moments where he can be friendly or decent. In "The Bully" he leads the townspeople in beating up the old man they thought was threatening to attack [=SpongeBob=] ''twice''. In "Band Geeks" he gets over his hatred of Mr. Krabs and calmly makes peace with him once class ends. |
| 559 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: His role in some episodes, as he’s still always a minor character. |
| 560 | * SuddenNameChange: As can be seen by the number of names he has listed above, his name is almost never consistent across the series, even though it can be assumed that every depiction of him is the same character. |
| 561 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Despite being a minor character, he has caused or contributed to several negative plot developments. |

| 568 | '''Debut:''' Christmas Who? |
| 569 | A light olive-green fish who is a bit of an [[TheDitz idiot]] and is often seen in the background. |
| 570 | ---- |
| 571 | * TheDitz: Sandals is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, somewhat justified because almost all characters on the show are stupid. |
| 572 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He generally joins the riot of other incidentals, but isn't really a bad person. |
| 573 | * KindheartedSimpleton: Not so much of a smart character, but still pretty amiable most of the time. |
| 574 | * SimpletonVoice: He speaks in a dimwitted voice which absolutely matches his personality. |
