Painty the Pirate,"Backstage Pants""Behind the Scenes of the SpongeBob Opening"https://web.archive.org/web/20160208171825/https://twitter.com/paultibbitt/status/494940304600862721Unreal Estate and Code Yellow (credits) also referred to as PaintingYour Shoe's Untied and Squid's Day Off (credits) and as Captain, is a painting of a pirate's head with a parrot. He appears at the beginning of the show's opening sequence and sings the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song in every episode.
==Description==
His painted mouth is replaced by a live-action mouth, giving him the appearance of talking. According to the "Backstage Pants" special feature on the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD and the "Behind the Scenes of the SpongeBob Opening" special feature on the SpongeBob's Truth or Square DVD, it's stated that the real-life lips in the painting are the lips of Stephen Hillenburg, the show's creator.
He has curly light brown hair, green eyes, a black patch over his left eye, an orange jacket, green eyes, a white shirt, a black skull-and-crossbones hat, a red bandanna, and of course, a green parrot on his left shoulder. He also has a West Country pirate accent with a slight lateral lisp.
==History==
If counting the intro, Painty the Pirate has appeared in every episode. He also appears in the second movie, but not the first movie or the third movie.
Painty the Pirate also sends the riders into the attraction after responding to the answer if they’re ready for the adventure by reaching and grabbing onto them on SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D: Ride, saying, "Good! In you go!"
He is voiced by Patrick Pinney in most appearances. However, in the episode "Truth or Square," the original painting of Painty the Pirate is replaced by a talking fortune teller dummy and was voiced by CeeLo Green. Also in "Truth or Square" during the "rejected" theme songs for Squidward Tentacles, Patrick Star, and Eugene H. Krabs, Painty the Pirate was voiced by Bob Joles.
===Major appearances===
Besides being in the theme, he also makes appearances in "Your Shoe's Untied," "Wet Painters," (although he only appears as an inanimate painting) and "Unreal Estate."
