SpongeBob SquarePants

"I'm ready!" - SpongeBob
SpongeBob SquarePants is the titular main protagonist of the animated series of the same name. He is voiced by actor and comedian Tom Kenny, in his breakout role. This page is focusing on seasons 1-4, 9-present of SpongeBob SquarePants, the first and third SpongeBob films, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, and The Patrick Star Show.
==Why He's Ready==
# He is a wonderfully optimistic, abnormal, mature (to an extent), fun-loving, and hyperactive person with a happy-go-lucky personality.
# A lot like his best friend Patrick Star, he was responsible for creating such memetic material with some expressions he's made from the series to the 2004 movie and such memeable scenes his existence has made with many worldwide. And also had tons of timeless, hilarious scenes.
#* Speaking of which, SpongeBob can seem more intelligent than Patrick in spite of his naivete or his loony if jolly behavior.
# He is greatly animated in all seasons.
# He has a cute character design like many characters drawn by Hillenburg.
# He is extremely determined and will often stop at nothing to accomplish a task.
# He is not only very kind, but also a good owner to Gary (most of the time), a good friend to Patrick, Sandy, and is nice to Squidward even though he's usually somewhat (but understandably) rude to him (a typical "Love Thy Neighbour" message).
# He is very hard-working, enthusiastically working at his seemingly awful, low-paying job.
# He comes up with good songs like "Who Am I?", "Sweet Victory", "Ripped Pants", and "The C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G Song"
# He is always ready for everything and anything.
# His iconic laugh (even if it annoys some people).
# As mentioned above, Tom Kenny voices him excellently and flawlessly in the first 3 seasons, as well as seasons 9-present, the 2nd and 3rd films, and the spin-offs.
# He is mostly positive-thinking.
# As his catchphrase goes, he is always ready for everything and anything.
# He is the titular protagonist of three incredible animated films that combines live-action, surreal humor, and compelling themes rolled up in an adventurous, emotional odyssey.
# He has a lot of awesome power-ups in Battle for Bikini Bottom and the remake of the game, examples include Bubble Spin, Bash, Bowl and Cruise, SpongeBall and Sneak.
# In "Krabby Patty Creature Feature," he is the only citizen of Bikini Bottom not affected by the zombie outbreak. He manages to save all the citizens using chum.
== Bad Qualities ==
# He, along with Patrick, was sadly flanderized in seasons 5, 6, 7, & 8, as he became a huge annoying and idiotic pest. However, like Patrick and the others (aside from maybe Mr. Krabs), he thankfully redeemed himself in the new seasons the second film, and the third film as he goes back to his original personality though he recovered from flanderization first in the 9th season while Patrick's also in 9.
#* In To Love a Patty, he gruesomely murdered a bunch of scallops only because the scallops were trying to eat the Krabby Patty he loved despite the fact that he himself raised one in "Rock-A-Bye Bivalve" and the fact he has a pet scallop named Shelly in a few episodes, making this hypocritical.
#* His high-pitched voice from the first movie to Season 8 is kind of annoying.
#Even before and after flanderization, he can be annoying sometimes.
#* While iconic and funny, his laugh can sometimes come off as annoying to some.
#* With this in mind, like Patrick or Pinky: he can also do some disgusting stuff as well (primarily because of potty humor such as belches/etc).
#He's incredibly naive. For example, he thinks that Mr. Krabs is a generous, non-cheap, and big-hearted person when he's really the exact opposite (although he did call him a cheapskate in "Pickles", "Krabby Land" and "Can You Spare a Dime?").
#* He is somewhat dramatic to the people who are kind to him: for example, to the mailfish.
#He can be a Butt-Monkey type character (a character that gets abused for no reason).
