Take This SpongeBob Quiz And Find Out Which Character You're Most Like!

Are you ready kids?

(This is the part where you say "Aye, aye, Captain!")

I can't hear you!

(Now say "Aye, aye, Captain!" louder.)

Great, now that we have your attention, maybe you can settle down and focus at the task at hand. Believe it or not, SpongeBob SquarePants has been on television for over 20 years and new episodes are still being made. While the show probably would get a little more attention if it weren't for the amazing run of The Simpsons at nearly 30 years and the fact SpongeBob is on a children's cable channel, there's no debating that it has a permanent place in American culture.

Like most cartoons with that kind of longevity, there are two reasons it has risen above the rest of the shows made during its impressive run. First is that it can play to both children and adults, so as the audience ages, they don't drop off as quickly. Second is the range of supporting characters. Sure, SpongeBob himself is the center point, but if it weren't for the nutty antics of Patrick Starfish, Mr. Krabs, Gary the Slug, Sandy the Squirrel, Squidward, Plankton and all the others, what kind of a show would we have? If you were thrust into the world of Bikini Bottom, whose shoes could you most easily fill?

Question 1

If you could be best friends with anyone on SpongeBob SquarePants, who would it be?

There are so many terrific choices here that you almost can't go wrong, but if you were forced to pick one of the many zany characters on the show, which one do you think you'd be best friends with? Obviously you could have more fun with one of them one time, but who is going to last that test of friendship on the long haul with you?

Question 2

What do you think a Krabby Patty tastes like?

If it weren't for Mr. Krabs and his secret recipe, the world would never know what a Krabby Patty is. It's kind of amazing that one of the frozen food companies hasn't licensed the name so they could sell them in your grocery store. In watching the show, when the Krabby Patty is shown, what do you imagine it tastes the most like?

Question 3

How would you describe Mr. Krabs' relationship with money?

There was a comedian in the 1950s named Jack Benny who had a running gag that he was cheap. It's believed that the Mr. Krabs character was partially based on that character. While he never met a dollar he didn't like, he also never met a dollar he didn't want to part with. What do you think of that kind of love of money?

Question 4

If you could live in any fruit under the sea, which would it be?

He lives in a pineapple under the sea....SpongeBob SquarePants! But just because he has decided to make his hoe in a Hawaiian fruit doesn't mean that you have to. There are plenty of other options for residing at the bottom of the ocean. Which denizen of your produce section would think it would be best to live in?

Question 5

In your group of friends, what role do you play?

In any group of friends, everybody tends to naturally take on a personality that helps make the group operate as a whole. You may not be like this with your family or at work or school, but you've got to stick to this role if you want your friend group to continue operating. Looking at the options, which one of these is you?

Question 6

If SpongeBob could be any other color, which would you choose?

It's hard to imagine the iconic cartoon character being anything but yellow, but that's only because we've been looking at SpongeBob for a couple of decades. If he had been blue or green from the beginning, bright yellow would seem crazy. If you could go back and re-color the character, which would you choose?

Question 7

Why do you think Mr. Krabs loves money so much?

There are some inferences over the years why Mr. Krabs is so, shall we say, thrifty, when it comes to the money he makes and how he hoards it, but there has never been a real answer. Maybe because it's a children's cartoon show and delving too far into the foundation of personality can just make things dark.

Question 8

Who would have been a great guest star voice?

Over the years, there have been plenty of famous people who have leant their vocal talents to SpongeBob SquarePants including Johnny Depp, Ray Liotta, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Stephen Colbert to name but a few. For the big-screen movie, the names were even bigger, but who would you have liked to see voice a character?

Question 9

What do you really think about Sandy?

Sandy the Squirrel is one of the more complex, interesting characters on the show. She's not of the sea, so always has to have a helmet on to breathe and always seems to be aware she's a little out of place, even without the heavy southern accent. What do you think of this rodent's place on the show?

Question 10

Pick one word to sum up SpongeBob's personality

It's easy to see why so many people love the show SpongeBob SquarePants, but it's also easy to see why so many of the characters on the show get irritated with the little guy so easily. If you were explaining the show to somebody who had never seen it and had to describe SpongeBob in one word, what would it be?

Question 11

What do you think of Gary the Snail?

In many episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants the secondary character of Gary the Snail is seen for a moment or two. Serving mainly as SpongeBob SquarePants' pet and only known for making cat-like meowing noises, some people absolutely love the character while others think he's pointless. What say you?

Question 12

Could you be friends with Patrick Star?

The best friend of SpongeBob SquarePants is Patrick Star. While it's understandable that it could be challenging to be friends with SpongeBob SquarePants, it seems impossible to us how you'd be friends with Patrick. SpongeBob SquarePants sticks by his side though. Would you be able to do that?

Question 13

Which real life fast food chain would serve Krabby Patties?

While the obvious answer would be Long John Silvers or Red Lobster, we're talking about the other, more major fast-food restaurants. If one were to decide that they wanted to do a tie-in with the TV show and begin offering Krabby Patties to its customers, which restaurant would it make the most sense to be at?

Question 14

Do you like the episodes where they assume the roles of other characters?

When a show is on for a very long time, you often lose the first writing crew who made the show special in the beginning. As the years go by, the writing gets weaker and one of the tried and true tropes that writers go to is the fantasy episode or alternate character episode where the main characters adopt different roles. Do you like this?

Question 15

Which character would have the best spin-off show?

In the real world, when a show is very successful, it's often spun-off with one or more characters and another show is created. For instance, both Victorious and iCarly were spun off to create Sam and Cat, with a character from each of the original shows. Looking at the characters on SpongeBob Squarepants, who would be best?

Question 16

Which of the characters in this photo would you remove from the show?

Obviously we can't eliminate SpongeBob Squarepants or there would be no show called SpongeBob Squarepants, so we have to take a look at the rest of the crew in this picture. While they all have their specific roles, which one do you think would least hurt the show if they were gone, or dare we say, make it better?

Question 17

What do you think of fan art?

People who love characters in a lot of sci-fi TV shows and films will often write fan fiction. It's just creative writing for fun and not meant to really do anything other than allow the writer to get lost in a world they love. There's also the word of fan art, where big fans who can create art utilize their skills to replicate their favorites. What do you think of it?

Question 18

What's Squidward's deal?

One of the more complex characters on the show is SpongeBob SquarePants' co-worker and neighbor, Squidward. He clearly doesn't like his job, neither hates nor loves SpongeBob SquarePants, enjoys his solitude and plays the clarinet. But he's also been seen to have a heart and be charitable. What do you think of this character?

Question 19

What do you think of when you see this picture?

It's the iconic beginning to an iconic theme song on an iconic show. When Patchy the Pirate comes on the screen in all his painted glory, minus the real-life lips commanding viewers to scream a little louder, you must have some kind of reaction. What immediately goes through your head when you see this picture?

Question 20

If you could give the show an award, what would it be?

Unfortunately, cartoon shows never get their just due when it comes to award season. Even something like The Simpsons, which is elevated to "animation" status has never done well at the Emmys. We can debate why it is, but if you had a giant trophy to give SpongeBob SquarePants creators, what would it be?

Question 21

Should SpongeBob SquarePants be given a girlfriend?

There are the occasional romantic storylines in SpongeBob SquarePants, but as far as the eponymous character goes, we really don't see him trying to hook up with anybody. Clearly he's of legal consenting age or he couldn't run a grill or hold a mortgage, but he just shows no interest in a female sponge that way...why?

Question 22

How much is SpongeBob SquarePants just working the crowd?

What we mean by this question is for all his "Aw, shucks" blind optimism and naive outward appearance, he seems to have his stuff together and live a fairly full, independent life. He's not the idiot he pretends to be. So while he may act the fool and keep expectations lowered, we're not buying it. How much of the time is he just playing dumb?

Question 23

We have to rename Patrick Star. Which one of these do you prefer?

So let's say that we're the producers of the show and we get a cease and desist letter from some guy named Patrick Starfish who says the show has ruined his life and now everyone thinks he's a slow sea creature. He says he'll so unless we change the name. Nickelodeon tells us to switch things up. We have four finalists. Which do you prefer?

Question 24

What do you think Squidward's reaction to losing his nose would be?

It's always hard to tell what Squidward is going to say or do next. He may look at the futility of a situation and wallow in misery with a defeatist attitude or he may have a moment of internal reflection and recognize how his nose was holding him back and now he could accomplish so much more. What do you think he's thinking in this photo?

Question 25

Do you act like a bigger jerk when your friends are around?

It seems like most people, when they get into packs, tend to let their rules of behavior slip a little bit. While you might not make fun of somebody if you were on your own, around a group of friends, you're the first to hurl an insult. Or maybe you get even nicer and your friends are great influences on each other. How's it working out for you?

Question 26

What's wrong with this Krabby Patty?

Squidward has just served this customer a delicious Krabby Patty cooked in the back by SpongeBob SquarePants at The Krusty Krab. But something is wrong with it. Why do you think is going to cause the customer to complain and demand that Squidward bring the sandwich back to get another?

Question 27

Squidward plays the clarinet. What musical instrument do you wish you could play?

Maybe you play piano, but that's not what we're asking you here. While music is an important part of many of the episodes of the show, the only character who consistently is seen playing an instrument is Squidward, with his clarinet. Musician or not, what instrument do you wish you knew how to play?

Question 28

Mentally, how old do you think SpongeBob SquarePants is?

As we mentioned in a previous question, SpongeBob SquarePants must be at least 16 years old since he's allowed to hold a job and drive a vehicle. You'd think that with a mortgage, or at least a lease, he'd have to be over 18. Mentally though, he seems to be a child, of course, that could just be our take. We know of plenty childish adults.

Question 29

What do you think Squidward's biggest complaint of SpongeBob and Patrick is?

As we've already talked about, Squidward is a complicated guy, errrr, animal. We see a wide range of emotion out of him and while he can show a kind or sympathetic side to Patrick and SpongeBob, he seems mostly annoyed by them. If he had to say it was one thing that drove him crazy about the duo, what would it be?

Question 30

Who is your favorite third-level character

After you get past Sandy, Mr. Krabs and the really close characters, you enter that realm of repeat characters who aren't seen all the time, but are seen enough that you can't call them a guest character. When you look across the vast array of not-so-regular regulars on the show, which is your favorite.

Question 31

If there was another character balloon, who should it be?

SpongeBob SquarePants has been a balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for quite a long time now and can be seen every Thanksgiving morning floating through the streets of New York City. We think they should add one of his friends. Which character would you like to see turned into a giant balloon?

Question 32

How many more years do you think the show should run?

As we mentioned, we're going into a third decade where SpongeBob SquarePants is still doing strong numbers for Nickelodeon. Still, are ratings what it's all about. Judging from the quality of South Park in the last few years, yes. When you think about new episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants how many more years should they happen?

Question 33

What kind of grades do you think SpongeBob gets?

So here's another one of those things we don't understand. SpongeBob SquarePants is seen in various versions of school throughout the series run, despite the fact he's got a home and a full time job. Let's assume SpongeBob SquarePants is in high school. What's his report card look like.

Question 34

Why do you watch SpongeBob Squarepants?

Have you ever asked yourself this question? After all of these years on the air and after seeing the same episodes plenty of time and perhaps even buying some of the merchandise, SpongeBob Squarepants has a permanent place in the story of your life. Why are you still watching?

Question 35

What ocean does this all take place in?

There are a lot of inconsistencies if you're trying to figure out where the show takes place. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple, which is only found in the Pacific. However, Sandy has a southern accent when she visits, and the Pacific isn't near Texas. Of course, she could have moved. Of course, it is also just a cartoon show.
