The series chronicles the adventures of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom.

Many of the characters ' designs originated in an unpublished educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg created in 1989. SpongeBob SquarePants features the voices of Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass, Clancy Brown, Mr. Lawrence, Jill Talley, Carolyn Lawrence, Mary Jo Catlett and Lori Alan.

During this period, Hillenburg became fascinated with animation, and wrote a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone starring various anthropomorphic forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters, including `` Bob the Sponge '', who was the co-host of the comic and resembled an actual sea sponge as opposed to SpongeBob. In 1987, Hillenburg left the institute to pursue his dream of becoming an animator. Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Pearl, and Squidward were the first other characters Hillenburg created for the show. Many of their characteristics were based on Hillenburg 's experiences during his time at the Ocean Institute or inspired by the traits of their species. Patrick 's personality embodies the nature of the starfish ; according to Hillenburg, they look `` dumb and slow '' but are `` very active and aggressive '' in reality, like Patrick. Hillenburg drew inspiration from his former manager at a seafood restaurant while creating Mr. Krabs. According to him, this manager was redheaded, muscular, and a former army cook ; these traits were all adapted into Krabs ' character. His decision to design Pearl was influenced by his regular supervision of whale watches at the Ocean Institute, as well as by a cetacean skeleton at the institute. He drew Pearl with an oversized, almost geometric head as a reference to sperm whales having the largest brain size of any extant animal on Earth. He designed Squidward as an octopus because of the species ' bulbous mantle ; the octopus, he said, has `` such a large bulbous head and Squidward thinks he 's an intellectual, so of course he 's gon na have ( one ). '' Hillenburg drew Squidward with six tentacles because `` it was really just simpler for animation to draw him with six legs instead of eight ''. Several additions were made to the series ' main cast before and after Hillenburg pitched the series to Nickelodeon ; in his series bible, he added Sandy Cheeks the squirrel as a new friend of SpongeBob. Plankton and Karen were included in his bible but were not meant to make regular appearances ; Plankton 's voice actor Mr. Lawrence said that he `` was only supposed to be in one or two episodes, but I was a writer on the show and I really liked this character ''. Following his first voice recording, Lawrence drafted some of his own ideas, hoping to `` prove Plankton could survive as more than a one - note character. '' From then on, Plankton and Karen 's roles in the series grew as Lawrence wrote ideas to give them more personality ; notably, he decided to write Karen as Plankton 's wife, rather than just his computer as was originally intended. They were both officially promoted to main cast members in the credits of the 2004 theatrical film, in which they play central roles. Hillenburg added Mrs. Puff in response to a request by Nickelodeon that SpongeBob attend school. Nickelodeon executives initially wanted to make SpongeBob a child since their most successful cartoons at the time focused on young, school - age characters. Hillenburg stated that the network wanted SpongeBob to be like `` Arnold ( from Hey Arnold ! ) under the sea, '' but he told them, `` No, that 's not the show. '' As a compromise, he decided to put SpongeBob in a boat - driving school, allowing him to keep writing SpongeBob as an adult while also using the school as a main plot element. Showrunner Vincent Waller suggested that if Nickelodeon had creative control over SpongeBob, almost every episode would take place at Mrs. Puff 's school, rather than at a variety of locations. The choice to make Mrs. Puff a pufferfish, who inflates into a ball when SpongeBob crashes, was made to evoke the appearance of car airbags. Main characters SpongeBob SquarePants Main article : SpongeBob SquarePants ( character ) SpongeBob SquarePants ( voiced by Tom Kenny ) is a yellow anthropomorphic sea sponge who physically resembles a rectangular cleaning sponge clad in brown short pants, a white collared shirt, and a red tie. He lives in a pineapple house and is employed as a fry cook at a fast food restaurant called the Krusty Krab. He diligently attends Mrs. Puff 's Boating School but has never passed ; his lack of a driver 's license is a running gag throughout the series. He is relentlessly optimistic and enthusiastic toward his job and his friends. SpongeBob 's hobbies include catching jellyfish, blowing bubbles, playing with his best friend Patrick, and unintentionally irritating his neighbor Squidward. He first appears in `` Help Wanted ''. Patrick Star Main article : Patrick Star Patrick Star ( voiced by Bill Fagerbakke ) is a pink starfish who lives under a rock and wears flowered swim trunks. His most prominent character trait is his extremely low intelligence. He is best friends with SpongeBob and often unknowingly encourages activities that get the two into trouble. While typically unemployed throughout the course of the series, Patrick holds various short - term jobs as the storyline of each episode requires. He is generally slow and easy - going but can sometimes get aggressive, much like real starfish. Squidward Tentacles Main article : Squidward Tentacles Squidward Tentacles ( voiced by Rodger Bumpass ) is an octopus with a large nose who works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab. He is SpongeBob 's next - door neighbor with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor. He believes himself to be a talented artist and musician, but nobody else recognizes his abilities. He plays the clarinet and often paints self - portraits in different styles, which he hangs up around his moai house. Although he does not like SpongeBob and Patrick, they are oblivious to his animosity and consider him a close friend. Mr. Krabs Main article : Mr. Krabs Mr. Krabs ( voiced by Clancy Brown ) is a red crab who owns and operates the Krusty Krab restaurant where SpongeBob works. He is self - content, cunning, and obsessed with the value and essence of money. He lives in an anchor with his teenage daughter Pearl, who is a whale. He dislikes spending money but will go to great lengths to make Pearl happy. He tends to worry more about his riches than about the needs of his employees. Having served in the navy, he loves sailing, whales, sea shanties, and talking like a pirate. Plankton and Karen Main article : Plankton and Karen Sheldon Plankton ( voiced by Mr. Lawrence ) and Karen Plankton ( voiced by Jill Talley ) are the owners of the Chum Bucket, an unsuccessful restaurant located across the street from the Krusty Krab. Their business is a commercial failure because they sell mostly inedible foods made from chum. Plankton is a small planktonic copepod and the self - proclaimed archenemy of Mr. Krabs. He is a skilled inventor and possesses a Napoleon complex due to his short stature. Karen is Plankton 's own invention, a talking supercomputer who supplies him with evil plans to steal Krabs ' secret recipe for Krabby Patties. She is married to Plankton and usually takes residence in the Chum Bucket laboratory. Sandy Cheeks Main article : Sandy Cheeks Sandy Cheeks ( voiced by Carolyn Lawrence ) is a squirrel from Texas who lives in an air - filled glass dome and wears a diving suit to breathe underwater. Whenever any aquatic creatures enter her home, they must wear helmets of water. Sandy works as a scientist, explorer, and inventor.

Mrs. Puff Main article : Mrs. Puff Mrs. Puff ( voiced by Mary Jo Catlett ) is a paranoid pufferfish who is SpongeBob 's teacher at boating school, an underwater driver 's education facility where students drive boats like cars. She wears a sailor suit and her school is made from a submerged lighthouse. SpongeBob is Mrs. Puff 's most dedicated student and knows the answer to every question on her written and oral exams, but always panics and crashes when he actually boards a vessel. She puffs up into a ball when she is scared or injured. Pearl Krabs Main article : Pearl Krabs Pearl Krabs ( voiced by Lori Alan ) is a teenage sperm whale and Mr. Krabs ' daughter. She wants to fit in with her fish peers, but finds this impossible to do because of the large size inherent to her species. She will inherit the Krusty Krab from her father when she grows older, but is still in high school and does not yet have a job at the family business. Pearl 's favorite activities are working at the Bikini Bottom Mall, using her father 's credit card to buy anything that is in style, and listening to pop music. Gary the Snail Gary the Snail ( voiced by Tom Kenny ) is SpongeBob 's pet sea snail who lives with him in their pineapple home and vocalizes like a cat. Despite only communicating through meows, other characters can understand and talk to him. Depicted as a level - headed character, Gary often serves as a voice of reason for SpongeBob and solves problems that his owner can not. He has a pink shell that is impractically spacious on the inside. Supporting characters Patchy the pirate Patchy the Pirate ( portrayed and voiced by Tom Kenny ) is the host of the series ' special episodes. He is a live - action pirate and the president of the fictional SpongeBob fan club.

French Narrator The French Narrator ( voiced by Tom Kenny ) is a scuba diver with a camera who often introduces episodes or narrates the intertitles as if the series was a nature documentary about the ocean.

In `` SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One, '' the musician Davy Jones makes a cameo appearance throwing socks from the locker at the Dutchman. He is first mentioned in `` Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost '' but does not have a speaking role until `` Scaredy Pants ''.

Neptune has a mostly blue - green color scheme with a long brown beard and hair. A different King Neptune is featured in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. In the film, he resides near Bikini Bottom with his daughter Mindy and resembles a green - skinned king with a robe, neatly - trimmed hair, a domed crown to cover his bald spot, and powers limited to what can be exercised through his trident.

'', which causes confusion on Squidward 's part. The Yeti Crab is a crab who Mr. Krabs imagines for a story in `` Yeti Krabs ''. The creature ends up being real and visits the Krusty Krab. Reception See also : List of awards and nominations received by SpongeBob SquarePants The characters of SpongeBob SquarePants have been well - received overall. The titular character SpongeBob has become very popular with children and adults. The character 's popularity has spread from Nickelodeon 's original demographic of two - to eleven - year - olds, to teenagers and adults. The popularity of SpongeBob translated well into sales figures. In 2002, SpongeBob SquarePants dolls sold at a rate of 75,000 per week, which was faster than Tickle Me Elmo dolls were selling at the time. SpongeBob has gained popularity in Japan, specifically with Japanese women. Nickelodeon 's parent company Viacom purposefully targeted marketing at women in the country as a method of building the SpongeBob SquarePants brand. Skeptics initially doubted that SpongeBob could be popular in Japan as the character 's design is very different from already popular designs for Hello Kitty and Pikachu. However, the characters have also attracted some negative reception, including SpongeBob himself, who was listed as number four on AskMen 's Top 10 : Irritating ' 90s Cartoon Characters. Nevertheless, SpongeBob SquarePants was ranked ninth on TV Guide 's top 50 cartoon characters. The show 's characters have received recognition from celebrities and well - known figures in media. Barack Obama named SpongeBob his favorite television character in 2007 and admitted that SpongeBob SquarePants was `` the show I watch with my daughters. '' British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also said he watches the show with his children. Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis were reported to be fans of the SpongeBob character in 2008. Film critic A.O. Scott named Squidward, Mrs. Puff, and Sandy his favorite characters on the show in 2004. American singer Pharrell Williams, who says he is a fan of the show, said that `` Squidward is my favorite, though. If he was a human, I would hang out with him. '' Fashion designer Peter Jensen designed a line of sweatshirts inspired by SpongeBob and called Mrs. Puff his `` absolute favorite '' character in an interview with Women 's Wear Daily. Peter Keepnews of The New York Times commended Patrick, calling him `` a popular character, and the new episodes illustrate why : He is unfailingly enthusiastic, touchingly loyal and absolutely undeterred by his intellectual limitations. Hilariously voiced by Bill Fagerbakke, he is not just an endearing comic creation but a role model for idiots everywhere. '' The show 's voice actors have received attention from honorary organizations for the portrayals of their characters. Mary Jo Catlett and Tom Kenny were both nominated at the 29th Annie Awards ceremony in 2001 for their vocal performances as Mrs. Puff and SpongeBob. Kenny received an additional two nominations at the 2008 and 2010 ceremonies, the latter of which he won for voicing SpongeBob in `` Truth or Square ''. In 2012, Rodger Bumpass ' performance as Squidward was nominated for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program at the 39th Daytime Emmy Awards. Additionally, Patrick as a character won in the category `` Favorite Animated Animal Sidekick '' at the 2014 Kids ' Choice Awards. Appearances in other Media See also : SpongeBob SquarePants ( film series ) and List of SpongeBob SquarePants merchandise The characters of SpongeBob SquarePants appeared in the 2004 theatrical film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and its 2015 sequel. Both films feature the regular television cast and blend animated elements with live - action sequences. They have also been featured in a variety of associated merchandise, particularly video games ; from 2001 to 2013, the SpongeBob franchise had multiple video games released each year, with the show 's voice cast reprising their character roles for many titles. Every main cast member with the exception of Clancy Brown has voiced their respective characters in each game that they appear ; Brown 's character Mr. Krabs is instead voiced by Joe Whyte in SuperSponge, Operation Krabby Patty, and Battle for Bikini Bottom and by Bob Joles in the Truth or Square game. The SpongeBob characters have been featured at a variety of theme park attractions. In 2003, Kings Island announced plans to build the first SpongeBob - themed amusement park ride, a dark ride roller coaster titled `` Mrs. Puff 's Crash Course Boating School ''. Plans were halted when Kings Island changed ownership, and the first ride featuring SpongeBob theming was instead `` SpongeBob 's Boatmobiles '' -- also based on Mrs. Puff 's Boating School and opened in 2003 -- at California 's Great America. Amusement rides based on the characters have since been opened at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Dreamworld, Movie Park Germany, and Nickelodeon Universe. Two 4D films featuring 3 - D models of the characters and a motion simulator experience, SpongeBob SquarePants 4 - D and The Great Jelly Rescue, were sold to theme parks and aquariums worldwide in 2005 and 2013 respectively. Mascot costumes of the SpongeBob characters debuted at Nickelodeon Suites Resort in 2005 and have made regular appearances at Nickelodeon events since. Plankton, Karen, and Gary are the only main characters who have never been realized as mascots ; at events, they are normally depicted as puppets or statues instead. In December 2011, a parade of SpongeBob mascots and floats titled `` SpongeBob ParadePants '' opened at Sea World Australia. In November 2017, a Broadway musical based on the show began previews at the Palace Theatre, and opened in December 2017. Unlike previous shows, the characters were not represented with mascot costumes but by actors wearing clothing inspired by the characters ' designs. Popular culture The characters of SpongeBob SquarePants have appeared throughout popular culture. In 2007, the Amsterdam - based company Boom Chicago created a SpongeBob parody called `` SpongeBob SquarePants in China '', in which a stereotypically Chinese Patrick refuses to go to work and advocates freedom of speech, rights of leisure, and income. During the same year, production company Camp Chaos created a SpongeBob parody titled SpongeBong HempPants, which features five of the series ' characters parodied in the form of various drugs. The show was seen on VH1 and Comedy Central, both owned by Nickelodeon 's parent company Viacom. Comedy Central 's Drawn Together also features a parody of SpongeBob named `` Wooldoor Sockbat '' whose theme tune is inspired by SpongeBob 's Hawaiian - style background music. Two animated series that former SpongeBob writer Dan Povenmire worked on have incorporated references to the characters ; the Phineas and Ferb special `` Summer Belongs to You '' features a joke in which Phineas Flynn holds up inanimate representations of SpongeBob and Patrick, and the Family Guy episode `` Road to Rupert '' includes SpongeBob 's `` Campfire Song Song '' from `` The Camping Episode ''. SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Pearl, and Squidward all appear in `` Major League of Extraordinary Gentlemen '', an episode of the sketch comedy Robot Chicken. A segment of the episode, animated in stop motion with SpongeBob toy figures, features Mr. Krabs using crab legs as the secret ingredient for Krabby Patties. SpongeBob has also made cameo appearances in The Simpsons, Mad, The Loud House, South Park, and Futurama.
