It's time for us to get our scuba gear on, and take a deep dive down the virtual, quizzical seas. There's a lot of unexplored land to scale in the ocean - no surface mind can grasp the entirety of its depths. As we plunge deeper and deeper, there's no telling what we might uncover. If we go deep enough, the physical, real world around us might give way to a much more animated one. Should we choose to go even deeper than that, we might be shocked to discover an underwater civilization - and a cartoon one at that!
This would be the aquatic kingdom of SpongeBob SquarePants, everyone's favorite anthropomorphic sponge. Of course, SpongeBob and his friends are popular enough on the surface that lots of people think they know all about him - but do they really? As it happens, our little test here is the perfect way to find out.
Plankton is currently weeping in the Chum Bucket corner, having tried and failed to pass this quiz. Even with his gifted (albeit super tiny) mind, he stood no chance here - not even with the help of his supercomputer wife. If such a formidable mind was thwarted by our quiz, who on Earth would think they can pass it?
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
We're not sure if this is general knowledge, but someone lives in a pineapple under the sea. And it isn't just anyone, either - it's a certain cartoon hero you might know, and probably love. Indeed, this singular entity is the reason why most people clicked this quiz in the first place - he's why the quiz even exists. Without him, who knows where we'd be right now. Probably not here. So who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Who could it possibly be?
Who's Gary?
Somewhere in the depths of the underwater world depicted in SpongeBob is an entity named Gary. He might at first seem like a simple organism, but his influence over the world around him - and our world on the surface - can not be under valued. Without him, the show wouldn't approach what it is today. Anyone who knows SpongeBob at all should definitely know who Gary is. Otherwise, they've probably clicked on the wrong quiz by mistake. Did they?
Which of these instruments does Squidward play?
Squidward might seem like a straight arrow - a perfectly straight arrow, actually - but there's a lot to this character that lies beneath the surface. For instance, he happens to wear the mask of an artist during his free time, expressing his life's perspective through music. There's one instrument he enjoys playing in particular, and he's taken it out several times throughout the SpongeBob SquarePants story. If you're a real fan of the series, you'll know which instrument he plays.
What's the best burger under the sea?
Don't question how a burger stays dry underwater - that's irrelevant here and irrelevant to the SpongeBob story. All you need to know is that the best burger in the ocean - and possibly on land - was revealed in this show, and its name has become the stuff of legend ever since. Since this burger is a key item in the series, most people shouldn't have a problem picking out its name from the options below. Doesn't that picture inspire a bit of hunger?
Who is Mr. Krabs' ultimate nemesis?
Here is Mr. Krabs' ultimate nemesis, making away with the ocean's ultimate burger so he can steal its secret formula - or so he thinks. As often as he tries to get one over his old rival, it seems the will of Neptune himself keeps this little guy at bay. At least he has a supercomputer for a wife, though that'll never be enough for him. He wants to beat Mr. Krabs at his own game, and he won't stop till he does.
Where does Patrick live?
Patrick is all geared up and ready for a serious showdown, or so it seems. Given the character in question, he might just be dressed up this way because it's Friday. He must have an assortment of costumes like these at his home. Speaking of his home, it's a strange structure indeed. Not your average household, to say the least, but it seems to be more than enough for this starfish. Those who know Patrick should also know where he lives, creepily enough.
What's Bikini Bottom?
Bikini Bottom is a magical notion in the fictional world - in SpongeBob's world, particularly. It is often spoken about in the series, almost on a per episode basis. It's a significant aspect of the story, to say the very least. However, those who haven't seen SpongeBob SquarePants in a while might be a little hazy as to what exactly Bikini Bottom is. It's not an average thing, for sure. Take a look at the options, and try figuring it out.
What does Squidward do for a living?
As much as Squidward would love to get paid to paint and play music in his house alone, the underwater world doesn't always operate under such kind laws. No - Squidward needs to get a job just like the rest of us, and he does so begrudgingly. We see the character in his place of work quite often, so figuring this one out shouldn't be very hard at all. For a real SpongeBob fan, it'll be a piece of cake.
Does Mr. Krabs ever become a millionaire?
Is it just us, or does Mr. Krabs only seem to care about money? We're not saying he's a bad guy in all other regards - he's pretty funny and seems to treat his friends and loved ones well. However, it seems as though money takes the throne in terms of his priorities. So it goes when you're a crab who speaks like a pirate. All that aside, let's see if you remember whether there's a point in the show that features Krabs as a millionaire.
Can Sandy breathe underwater?
Although Sandy isn't quite like the other Bikini Bottom citizens, she's been accepted as one of their own, and she's happy to be part of the family. In this type of setting, it would be great if this squirrel could breathe underwater, wouldn't it? Maybe she can - or maybe she really, really can't. It might be hard for you to say if you haven't popped the series in for a rewatch recently. Either way, true SpongeBob fans find this one easy.
What does Mrs. Puff do for a living?
Pictured here is Mrs. Puff on her way to her own incarceration, but she doesn't spend all her time in the show as a captured criminal. In fact, when we were first introduced to the character, she was shown in another line of work entirely. In fact, SpongeBob and Patrick tend to frequent her place of work, and real fans of the show know exactly why. Those who are real fans can prove it by getting this right - if they can.
What type of animal is Mr. Krabs' daughter?
One would think that the child of a crab would be a crab, but do things tend to work so neatly in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe? No, not usually. Mr. Krabs has a daughter, at any rate, and she's one of the show's most popular secondary characters. Those who have seen her only once are not likely to forget her anytime soon. If they did forget, that's alright - it only means they're not as much of a SpongeBob guru as they thought they were.
What's Plankton's first name?
As much as Plankton's whole self is diluted into his last name, the fact remains that, like most people - even the underwater critters introduced to us in this strange show - this evil genius has a first name, and he's never shy to declare it loudly and proudly to the world. Amateur SpongeBob maniacs might have let this bit of trivia slip them by, but dedicated SpongeBob vets will know the answer for sure. Analyze the options and choose carefully.
What word does this character tend to yell out?
This character doesn't make many appearances in he SpongeBob SquarePants series, but he doesn't have to - this scene and the character's classic line are more than enough to make an impact. He wants something - one thing in particular - and he isn't averse to declaring that over and over again. The thing he so passionately covets is something we all want from time to time. So take a look at this guy and try figuring out his classic line.
Who's this evil monster?
This evil monster is often spoken about in SpongeBob SquarePants lore as one of the most horrifying, violent criminals in history. If an individual happens to be a citizen of Bikini Bottom, and this psycho happens to be on the loose at the time, it's best to just stay inside after hours and barricade the front door as best as they can. Though still, that might not be enough. The best bet here is to guess this character's name and move on, quite promptly.
What's Plankton's restaurant called?
Since no one in Bikini Bottom pays evil geniuses for simply being evil and going about their plots, Plankton needs to work to make a living. The way he does that is through his restaurant, offering the citizens of Bikini Bottom some... appetizing food. Actually, it's not often so appetizing, which is why the restaurant is always empty and why Plankton wants the Krabby Patty secret formula so badly. At any rate, let's see what the name of Plankton's restaurant is.
Who's this guy?
It looks like there's a notorious ghost floating around Bikini Bottom once more, and he's definitely up to no good. Too bad there aren't any underwater Ghostbusters in town, but do we even need them? This phantom is a sneaky guy, for sure, but he's not diabolical or anything - usually. In any case, our job here isn't to stop him - it's to correctly guess his name. If you've been paying attention to Bikini Bottom, this one should be no problem.
What about this guy?
Maybe that last, swamp green character seemed quite recognizable, but what about this other, aqua green one? Hopefully this image strikes up a memory, since that would be quite useful in answering this question. This mighty underwater entity is often spoken about in SpongeBob lore, though he seldom makes an appearance. Here he is now, though - in this quiz, in the digital flesh. Anyone who's an avid fan of SpongeBob must surely know who this legendary guy is, including his name.
Does Gary wear shoes?
Gary doesn't looks like he's wearing shoes here, but who knows what's going on beneath that mass of his? For all we know, he's sporting the freshest Air Jordan's of the year, or maybe he goes around Bikini Bottom totally barefooted. That's what most snails do anyway, so it wouldn't be so outlandish. However, let's keep in mind that Gary isn't like most snails - not in the slightest. The real question is, does this snail wear shoes or not?
What's the Salty Spitoon?
SpongeBob is pretending like he has no time for the Salty Spitoon, but really, that's all he's been thinking about for a while. If you're wondering what the Salty Spitoon is, then maybe you haven't been paying much attention to the series. Fans who listen acutely will know exactly what we're referring to despite the Salty Spitoon being mentioned so seldom in the show. What is this mysterious Bikini Bottom place, exactly? Does anyone have any idea, or not a clue?
Who are Bikini Bottom's superheroes?
These two might not seem like much right now, but there was a time in Bikini Bottom's history when they were the most formidable heroes under the sea. Together, they would take on all assortments of underwater evil, like the aquatic version of Batman and Robin. Time might have caught up with these two valiant soldiers, but no one can ever forget what they've contributed to their society. All true fans of SpongeBob should remember the names of Bikini Bottom's superheroes.
What's Plankton's ultimate goal?
Plankton lives a very goal-driven life - specifically, his life is a mission driven toward one goal in particular. For all true fans of the series, this goal shouldn't even be close to a mystery - after all, this villain pretty much declares it whenever he's featured in an episode. Whether he'll ever achieve his goal is another question, right now we're interested in the specifics of that goal. What does Plankton desire most, above all other things in the world?
Where did Sandy used to live?
Sandy is as much a Bikini Bottom citizen as anyone else, but it didn't always used to be this way. As it turns out, Sandy is an immigrant to the underwater town, having descended to it sometime in the past. Sandy's place of origin isn't often mentioned in the series, but it's been made clear enough for all true SpongeBob fans to keep in mind, for sure. Anyone in the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club should know where Sandy used to live.
Has the Krabby Patty secret formula ever been revealed?
Being such a delicious, mysterious underwater delicacy, you can bet that its secret formula is kept divinely guarded from the prying eyes and arms (sometimes microscopic eyes and arms) of Bikini Bottom. Indeed, Mr. Krabs would rather meet his salty end than ever disclose the secret formula of this perfect burger. Despite that, though, it's definitely possible that the recipe slipped out of his hands at some point in the series, though it's not clear exactly when. Has it ever happened?
What's the name of Squidward's pet snail?
SpongeBob isn't the only Bikini Bottom citizen who goes around town with a pet snail. As it turns out, Squidward, being a fan of the finer things in life, also has a snail of his own, and she's a very different beast than Gary. This snail is much more distinguished, and let's face it - she's way prettier. Still, she's not quite as famous as ole Gary, so amateur fans might be unclear as to what exactly her name is.
What was the Krusty Krab called after Pearl redecorated it?
Mr. Krabs is a greedy, selfish man, for sure, though we still love him despite that. And, despite his self-minded nature, he always gives to his daughter Pearl quite generously. For instance, when she wants to redecorate the Krusty Krab, her wish is as good as granted, for better or worse. Of course, Pearl went a little too far in redoing the ole shack - she even changed the name of the establishment after she was done. What was that name, again?
Who challenges Spongebob to a patty making competition?
No one in Bikini Bottom can flip patties and make burgers quite like Mr. SpongeBob SquarePants over here. Despite that, at some point in the series, a challenger stepped up to the plate to show SpongeBob that he isn't the only one to know how to work a grill. It would take a legend and a half to stand a chance against SpongeBob in this kind of format, and a legend and a half is exactly who showed up for the challenge.
Which of these things can be used to attract a sea bear?
In most cases, individuals don't really want to attract a sea bear. These bears are much like their versions in our real, dry world - it's better to be away from them than around them, usually. However, if ever one did need to attract a sea bear, for whatever reason, there's a certain method they can take on. This has been highlighted in the SpongeBob SquarePants series, of course, so all true fans should know the answer without trying too hard.
Are these Patrick's real parents?
There was an episode during the series where we were introduced to Mr. Patrick Star's parents - or so we thought. As it turned out, these two were simply conning our Bikini Bottom friends for their own reasons. Thankfully, before the episode was through, we got to find out who Patrick's real parents were, and what a relief it was. It might have been some time since the episode aired, but the right answer should still be obvious to true fans.
What's the name of Plankton's supercomputer?
Plankton's supercomputer isn't just any supercomputer - this one has a name, as a matter of fact. Plankton built her from scratch as a genius machine capable of computing anything - except for the Krabby Patty secret formula, of course. Still, although the computer can't figure out the recipe to the most powerful burger under the sea, she definitely has her reasons for being, and Plankton will be the first to tell you those. First, though, let's try to figure out this computer's name.
Why did Gary run away from home?
Life with SpongeBob and Gary seems perfect - almost too perfect, in fact. However, if you zoom in a little closer, you'll find that these two have as rocky a relationship as any pair ever caught in the owner-pet dynamic. An owner must honor a few prerequisites in order to keep his or her pet healthy. If not, the pet would have good reason to run away and seek a new life elsewhere. Why did Gary run away from home?
Where was this guy hiding the pickles?
This guy, right here - he's a sneaky guy, for sure. One day, he waltzed right into the Krusty Krab with the intent to cause some serious mischief. What resulted was the total crushing of SpongeBob's confidence - he even forgot how to make the Krabby Patty! Thankfully though, by the end of the episode, we got to see just how much of a trickster this guy really is. He was hiding the pickles all along - where was he hiding them?
What's funnier than 24?
24 is funny, for sure. If you look at it a certain way, there's nothing in the world quite as funny as 24. But, if one digs even deeper than that, they'll find that there's one thing that is indeed funnier than 24 - just one thing, in fact. While attending driving class, SpongeBob and Patrick were amusing themselves with this line of thinking, and they even discovered the thing that's funnier than 24. Now what might that be, exactly?
Who was #1?
Here is #1 - what's left of him, anyway. He lies buried in Bikini Bottom, his remains exemplifying his legendary story. He was #1 in life, and he'll always be considered as such even though he's passed on to the next world. Bikini Bottom citizens always remember who #1 was - his legacy is just that powerful. Indeed, that legacy transcends the screen - even fans of SpongeBob and Bikini Bottom know who #1 was. So just who was he?
What's written on SpongeBob's doormat?
Now here's a little detail that amateur SpongeBob fans will definitely have missed. Sure, they might know all the main points of the Bikini Bottom story that have been covered throughout the series, but do they know what's written on SpongeBob's doormat? Only those who have paid acute attention to the show will have caught onto this one. Since it's the last obstacle here, let's see if we can wrap this quiz up on a good note. What's written on our hero's doormat?
