Top 10 Best SpongeBob SquarePants Characters

I love Squidward. I feel so sorry that he's never happy because he lives next to SpongeBob and Patrick, who drive him insane. His boss, Mr. Krabs, is abusive towards him. Every time it looks like Squidward is finally going to be happy, something happens, and he's left miserable again!

While my favorite is Plankton, Squidward is a very close second in my opinion. My second favorite used to be Patrick, and then it became SpongeBob, but as the series goes on, they both become really annoying. To me, the only characters that are still watchable and likable now are Plankton and Squidward! We need more episodes with them being a duo!

I miss the old Patrick. The one who was dumb but still very nice. Now, Patrick is an idiotic jerk (not in a good way). I want the old Patrick back!

Please tell me you guys think Patrick is the cutest starfish ever seen. Patrick isn't my only favorite SpongeBob SquarePants character. SpongeBob is also my favorite. I have two favorites on this show. Patrick's silliness is what makes him funny, and his humor is what makes him cute. His cuteness is what makes him popular on this show, and that makes him an adorable starfish most people can't resist. The same goes for SpongeBob. Oh, and SpongeBob is the cutest sponge ever seen. If only I could vote twice.

SpongeBob SquarePants is a lot like your typical adult. He works at a fast-food restaurant, yet he "keeps his head up" and likes to have fun. He is an opposite to Squidward, a cynical, sad, nihilistic squid who also works at a dead-end job. In this way, SpongeBob proves that you can still have fun, be optimistic and innocent while being an adult and having responsibilities.

He's the star of the show! Even though his personality traits have deteriorated in the later seasons, he was much more relatable in the first three seasons. Despite his childish personality and occasionally dimwitted nature, he had some form of maturity and adulthood that gave episodes better development.

Plankton: Ah, come on, kid. You asked me that already. Now quit wasting my time!

Mable: Hey, you can't talk to my son that way! Who do you think you are?

Plankton: I'm Plankton, you old hag. And your son smells like boogers.

Truck Driver: Hey, you can't talk about my wife that way. What do you think this is?

Plankton: I think it's time for you to lose some weight, fatty. That's what this is.

Mary: Hey, you can't talk to my grandson like that. Someone ought to put you in a mental hospital.

Plankton: Someone should put you in a box floating down the river, Grandma!

Mary: You're probably right.

I love this scene!

After watching episodes like "Texas" and "Prehibernation Week," she's become one of my favorites! I love her positive attitude. I also love how nice, funny, energetic, and smart she is!

I don't like her as much now that she's become a total jerk (especially in "Squirrel Jelly"), but I still like her. To me, all the characters were great in the older episodes, and later they all (except for Plankton and Squidward, my first and second favorite characters, respectively) became horrible. But Sandy is still a wonderful character!

Gary is great, possibly the cutest thing under the sea. Even though most of his appearances are cameos, you'll need the tissues once he's gone (Have You Seen This Snail?).

Gary has a personality much like Shaun the Sheep. He's speechless yet highly intelligent, which makes him a fun character to watch.

Gary is underestimated. He doesn't talk much and blends in. That's why I enjoy him on the show.

You know, everyone hates him because of One Course Meal and honestly, I do too, but I don't think he's a horrible character. In older episodes, he was like a dad to SpongeBob and Patrick and wasn't as mean to Squidward or Plankton as he is now.

I liked him very much in every episode (EXCEPT One Course Meal), but now, he and Patrick have become unlikable jerks. We need new episodes to be like Sponge on the Run, where all of the main characters were likable and the jokes were funny!

I can't believe everyone hates Mr. Krabs just because of "One Coarse Meal." Trust me, I dislike him too, but he was good in the pre-movie episodes where he cared for his employees. For example, in "The Suds" he tells SpongeBob to go home and rest. In "Born Again Krabs," he is cheap and sells SpongeBob for 62 cents, but Squidward chews him out for it. When he realizes what he has done, he becomes incredibly upset and learns that people are more important than money, so he begs for SpongeBob back. That's character development, folks! I miss the old Krabs. And if he can receive hate for "One Coarse Meal," then Patrick can receive hate for "Yours, Mine, and Mine" and "The Fish Bowl."

I like him better than Mermaid Man because of his similarities to Squidward, who I also like. Since those tall and skinny guys are humorless like me, they're cool in my book. But then again, I like folks with no sense of humor depending on who they are.

Dude, Batman voiced him! Mermaid Man is completely senile, and Barnacle Boy is like the useless sidekick!

I love heroes. However, I liked them younger.

The Flying Dutchman is the best. He embodies subtle hilarity and expresses slight tolerance for the annoying antics of the main characters. Plus, what would the show be without him? Not much different, actually. But there would be no perfume department, no fly of despair, no Davy Jones' locker, no motivational video about "the power within," no howling scene, and more. The Flying Dutchman added more potential for the show to actually be funny.

He's the only SpongeBob character to not have any terrible episodes yet.

It was okay to have her around for a couple of episodes, but now she's essentially what would happen if you stripped Squidward of all unburdened parts. It seems her only purpose is to be eternally tormented by SpongeBob and never get peace. I hope one day SpongeBob just gets his driver's license and she finally can rest in peace.

She used to get torture episodes, but now I think she's just crazy. I don't think people should hate her because of "Demolition Doofus" since Squidward also tried to kill SpongeBob.

I really like Patchy the Pirate! He's pretty much the best part of the show for me. I enjoy seeing him do cool stuff like being in a cave, going on a treasure hunt, and having a fit about SpongeBob.

I love Patchy! He's funny and makes SpongeBob unique. The only parts I liked about the episode Truth or Square were the Patchy scenes.

I love Patchy the Pirate! The guy is hilarious and awesome! Plus, he's played by Tom Kenny, the same person who voices SpongeBob.

Larry is important too, you know! He actually debuted before Plankton.

"SpongeBob, you are so righteous. Will you sign my pants?"

Underrated, in my opinion. This guy needs to be closer to the top.

He doesn't play a big role in either of the movies. I want him to appear more.

Hey all you people, hey all you people, hey all you people, won't you listen to me? I just hurt my leg. It's no ordinary pain, but pain that hurts really, really badly. MY LEG!

That guy's awesome! He always gets hurt and no one ever sees him. I think in one of the episodes, they should show his appearance. I bet everybody, including me, wants to see him.

He's better than any of the main or recurring characters. Yes, a mainly background one, is the best. I mean, he's the guy behind "My leg!," "Deuueaugh," "Rev up those fryers," and many more amazing quotes. Plankton and Squidward are my other favorites.

She is better than Plankton! She is nicer and smarter than Plankton! Girl, you should have a good long chat with him!

Pretty well-developed. I like her relationship with Plankton.

Look at him. He makes me sick just looking at him. Those big bulgy eyes, that square body, those two buck teeth, and that stupid tie. But it looks good on SpongeBob, though.

He deserves to be number 1. He is the funniest and coolest character in SpongeBob. The only problem is, he only wants to defeat SpongeBob.

From FrankenDoodle, DoodleBob is a fantastic villain who erases anything and everything in his way. I just wish the new writers would bring DoodleBob back.

Yes, Squilliam is a jerk, but he's an antagonist and he's supposed to be a jerk.

He's the arch-nemesis of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, who are parodies of Aquaman and Aqualad. You simply cannot go wrong with that!

One of the best villains. I only like him in that one episode with the tickle belt.

He is even cooler than most of the Marvel and DC villains. He is underrated. He should be higher up on the list.

If he's Patrick Not-Star, then why is he a star? Shouldn't he be a triangle?

Awesome character. Really funny!

"I told you nothing good would come from city folk and their flying machines!" My favorite line!

Poor kid dies when he gets hit by a brick.

I wish Mindy would come back. I thought she was awesome and the whole reason why SpongeBob and Patrick succeeded in their quest! I also think she and Patrick make a cuter couple than SpongeBob and Sandy.

She was such an awesome character in the movie! Without her, SpongeBob and Patrick would've failed. She's really underrated, and she should get more attention!

This character is from "Ghost Host," in the video that SpongeBob shows the Flying Dutchman.

Best character ever. Best quote ever.

He's both purple and orange. They just changed him to orange for the show for a decade or so because of a rule that prevented new-to-movie elements (save for a Goofy Goober reference) in the show.

A fish that talks with fish lips!
