SpongeBob SquarePants Characteristics

Spongebob SquarePants is the title character of the animated television series Spongebob SquarePants. He is voice by Tom Kenny and first appeared on television in the series pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999. Spongebob was created adn designed by cartoonist Stephen Hillenburg shortly after the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life in 1996. Hillenburg intended to create a series about an over-optimistic sponge that annoys other characters. Hillenburg compated the concept to Laurel and Hardy and Pee-Wee Herman. As he draw the character, he decided that a "squeaky-clean square" (like a kitchen sponge) fits the concept. His name derived from "Bob the Sponge", the host of Hillenburg's comic strip The Intertidal Zone that he originally drew in 1989 while studying at the California Institude of Arts. Spongebob is a naive and goofy sea sponge who works as a fry cook on fictional underwater town of Bikini Bottom.

Spongebob is a sea sponge, but he resembles a kitchen sponge. He has large blue eyes, many holes appearing all around his body and a mouth with prominent front buck teeth. He typically wears a white shirt with a red tie and brown square trousers, hence his family name "SquarePants".

Spongebob is a fry cook at the Krusty Krab restaurant, at which he has won employee of the month many times. He attend Mrs. Puff's Boating School, analogous to a driving school, but cannot pass the boating test until "Gone". Spongebob lives with his pet snail Gary in a large "Pineapple-house" on 124 Conch Street in fictional Bikini Bottom, which os located beneath the real tropical isle of Bikini Atoll. Hiss neighbors are Squidward who is an squid and Spongebob;s co-worker at the Krusty Krab, and Patrick, a starfish who is Spongebob best friend.

Spongebob is an optimistic and energetic character, but also very naive. His hobbies include jelly-fishing (similar to bird watching and butterfly catching) and blowing bubble with Patrick. He is unaware of how Squidward is annoyed by him. 

Spongebob's catchphrase is "Im ready !"
