“SpongeBob” is a cartoon whose characters have become a trend among children and teenagers. Massive fascination with the history of square sponge living at the bottom of the ocean is easily explained. The cartoon is positive, allows you to indulge in daydreams, takes you into the world of fantasy. In it the sponge seeks career growth, the octopus fancies himself an artist, and the squirrel has settled on the seabed.

History of creation

Mr. Krabs, the owner of the Krusty Krab cafe, is the central character of the funny animated series. Along with the octopus and starfish, Mr. Krabs interacts with the main character, who constantly finds himself in adventures and unpredictable situations.

The cartoon was released in 1999 and became a popular children's project. television channel Nickelodeon. At that time the channel released high-profile projects"Hey, Arnold!" and "Catdog". "SpongeBob" replenished his piggy bank unusual heroes. The project, invented by Stephen Hillenburg, turned out to be in demand.

It is curious that Hillenburg did not immediately recognize his talent as an animator. He liked sea creatures and plants much more. In adulthood, the marine biologist decided to find a calling in the arts. Enrolling in an animation course, the biologist completed the training and came up with the characters. Their images had not previously been used in cinema and did not resemble famous heroes.

The main characters of the cartoon "Spangle Bob"

Hillenburg came up with a story about an underwater town where they lived strange creatures, not deprived of talents, temperament and feelings. Having presented the idea to the producers of the Nickelodeon channel and offered them sketches of the images of SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Sandy the squirrel, the creative animator also came up with an introductory song for the animated screensaver.

The cartoon found a grateful audience, becoming the main competitor to children's favorite projects. He has won several television and animation awards.

Eugene Krabs became negative character in the Hillenburg project. The crab, who loves money and his adopted daughter, the sperm whale Pearl, is the owner of the diner where SpongeBob works. Krabby Patties, the recipe for which he developed himself, are the subject of admiration for everyone in Bikini Bottom.

There is a constant struggle for customers between him and his competitor Plankton. The greed with which the evil Krabs confronts his rival is excessive, and the workers of the Krusty Krab cafeteria become its victims.

Cartoon series "Spongebob"

The biography of Eugene Krabs is unusual for a sea dweller. He was born in 1942. As a child, the baby was depressed and loved to be alone, being sure that a sad state would forever accompany him. In his youth, he was friends with Plankton.

The friends even dreamed of opening a common business. Having opened a restaurant for two, they invited visitors. An elderly client was poisoned by a dish, and this caused a quarrel between friends. The friendly relationship failed, Plankton retreated, and Krabs was left in splendid isolation. Crab had to join the navy as a cadet, but upon returning to his native land, he became a businessman.

The hero developed a recipe for Krabby Patties, which brought him fame in Bikini Bottom. Krabs bought a local nursing home called "Rusty Crab", added the letter "K" to the name and opened a trendy restaurant.

All the dishes here were made from crabs, which makes you wonder: was Mr. Krabs a cannibal? After all, besides him, there were no more crabs in Bikini Bottom, and those that visited the greedy character came from other settlements.

Mr. Krabs

A red fat crab with elongated eyes, a large nose, short legs and large claws, Mr. Krabs always wears the same costume. He always wears a white shirt and blue pants. Strong and unapologetic, he shows a nose for money and seems to live only for it.

Every opportunity to increase his wealth drives Krabs into hysterics. Anticipating benefits, he is ready to do anything. Selfish and slanderous, he cares about his own safety. For SpongeBob, Krabs sometimes becomes a virtue, but people like Squidward do not notice him in the leader positive aspects and they hate him.

It seems that Mr. Krabs is a clumsy, upstart, evil and greedy character who is difficult to please. But even people like him have a heart in which there is room for love. One day Mr. Krabs fell in love with Mrs. Puff. The couple periodically appeared in public together from seasons 3 to 10, but their relationship was not official.
There is enough tenderness in the heart of Eugene Krabs for the sperm whale Pearl. The birth story of this little girl is unknown. Krabs dotes on his child. In the thematic episode of the animated project, it becomes clear that Pearl's mother, Krabs' lover, was a sperm whale. She was caught in a fishermen's net and died.

A former sailor, Krabs constantly uses in conversation phrases familiar to the vocabulary of pirates and seafarers. It is curious that even the hero’s house is built in the shape of an anchor.
More than fishhooks and products used by people, Krabs is afraid only of a medical examination.

Plankton often came close to the recipe for everyone's favorite Krabby Patties, but he was unable to use the secret, and Mr. Krabs remained the winner. This scenario move was specially invented by the producers so that the strongest could rest on their laurels, giving way to the further plot.
The list of branded products includes automated robots, computer and Board games, in which Krabs performs actor. Fans of the cartoon create memes using his image, thematic drawings that cause laughter. They show the character wearing a bra or trying to wash his face without a sink.
In the Russian adaptation of the animated series, Mr. Krabs is voiced by actor Alexander Hotchenkov.

Quotes

“What should we do now, Mr. Krabs?

- I will do the only thing in my power to come to terms with this terrible injustice! I’ll lie down on the bed and cry loudly!”

“What doesn’t kill us can kill us on the second try.”

SpongeBob (SpongeBob) SquarePants

The main character of the animated series of the same name, SpongeBob Squapants (or SpongeBob SquarePants) is a peace-loving and cheerful inhabitant of Bikini Bottom, who lives with his pet, the intelligent, meowing snail Gary, in a pineapple house. Adoration of everything he sees is the norm for SpongeBob. The world, best friend Patrick, the constantly dissatisfied neighbor Squidwart and the Krusty Krab diner are seen in rosy and happy colors. SpongeBob has many friends because he always comes to the rescue of the unfortunate, he even helps Plankton, the enemy of Mr. Krabs (but not in those cases when he tries to steal the secret recipe for Krabby Patties).

Distinguished by excessive emotionality, he either cries or laughs. Cooking Krabby Patties is his favorite pastime, for which he often stays for free and late at the diner where he works for Mr. Krabs, his boss. When it comes to work, SpongeBob is completely immersed in it, strictly following all the rules. He has received many awards for his excellent work, but the biggest reward for SpongeBob is seeing the happy faces of the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom who love his delicious Krabby Patties.

And she and Patrick love to catch jellyfish in the Jellyfish Fields. Together they come up with new games in which they often transform into their favorite superheroes - Sea Superman and Barnacle Boy.

SpongeBob's best friend and neighbor is Patrick the starfish. Living alone under a round stone in a hole, not working anywhere, he is terribly lazy. All of Patrick's clothes are flowered shorts, and his furniture is only made of sand. All day long Patrick can do nothing but watch TV, even SpongeBob often buys him food.

But the best playmate. Together with SpongeBob, he loves to play leapfrog and hide-and-seek, blow bubbles, and catch jellyfish. Sometimes he visits the Krusty Krab diner, where his friend works. Patrick was unable to get a job there himself. One day he wanted to get a hat, but he could do almost nothing for it.

In contrast to SpongeBob, Patrick is a terrible egoist, he thinks only of himself almost all the time, especially when it comes to toys and food, but bouts of kindness still sometimes happen to him. Patrick is not only lazy and selfish, but also stupid; the only time he could be called smart was when SpongeBob mistakenly put brain coral on Patrick's head.

Often taking on faith everything that he is told, Patrick, together with SpongeBob, out of naivety, often ends up in such risky adventures, from which it is not so easy to get out. But still, Patrick is lucky (as opposed to Squidward) and often gets away with it.

The male pet snail Gary is SpongeBob's favorite pet and best friend, who is much smarter than his owner, although you can't tell at first glance. In the episode where SpongeBob accidentally ends up in Gary's dream, we see that he has a huge library and communicates like a true intellectual. Even in reality, the newspapers Gary subscribes to serve him as more than just a bed. Gary speaks only in his snail language and meows like a cat, but SpongeBob still understands him perfectly.

Gary is a special snail. The fact that he crawls, like all other gastropods, leaving a trail of mucus behind him, does not prevent him from wearing sneakers, but when you learn about this, you cease to be surprised at the speed of his movement. In addition, anything can fit inside its sink - a gramophone, a sofa with a fireplace.

Gary doesn't really like to take part in his owner's adventures; he enjoys watching TV at home more. One day when SpongeBob forcibly dragged Gary to the park for a walk, he fell in love and committed unsuccessful attempt escape. The rally against the humiliating treatment of pets, organized by him at the exhibition, also ended in complete failure, which still did not prevent Gary from becoming the pet of the year.

Squidward(Snail)

Squidward Tenticles or "Squidward Tentacles" is an octopus that has the most bad character all over Bikini Bottom. He is unhappy and also a loser. He so wants his noisy friends and Patrick to leave him alone, but alas, this is not possible for him: not only does he work with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab as a cashier, but his house is also located between Patrick’s block house and SpongeBob's pineapple house.

Squidward sincerely considers himself unrecognized genius. He is interested in sculpture, music, painting (many self-portraits are hung on the walls of his house), but most of all Squidward loves his clarinet. But the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom do not see talent in him and keep sending him down to earth. Trying to stand out in every possible way, Squidward almost always fails; only when SpongeBob helps him do Squidward’s attempts succeed.
Hating his neighbors, Squidward still realizes that he would simply be bored without Patrick and SpongeBob.

This is especially noticeable in the episode where he leaves Bikini Bottom and settles in a city inhabited only by octopuses like Squidward, where he quickly realizes his mistake.

Mr. Krabs (Snail)

The boss of SpongeBob and Squidward, Krabs, is a rare miser and greedy person who has a simply pathological craving for money. He talks to coins, takes money baths, and when SpongeBob finds a coin on the street, Eugene Krabs begins to rave about easy money.

Once upon a time, Krabs stopped being a pirate and opened a diner, calling it the Krusty Krab. In it he sells, at exorbitant prices, Krabby Patties prepared according to his signature recipe. As children, together with their friend Plankton (who has now become his enemy), they invented a secret formula, from which Mr. Krabs makes money. Plankton, still using all sorts of methods, tries to steal the Krabby Patty recipe from the safe, failing each time with the help of SpongeBob.

Krabs and his daughter Pearl live in the anchor house. Mr. Krabs loves his daughter and Mrs. Krabs, although he lives separately from her. Nothing is known about Pearl's mother, but she herself is actually a whale. Often, Krabs' daughter complains about his stinginess.
Mr. Krabs' house is filled with amazing things. It also has a machine that makes soap from leftover Krabby Patties. Krabs is still reluctant to part with his old worthless things from time to time and distributes them to others, who lead everyone to new adventures.

Former friend Eugene Krabs - Plankton became his main enemy and rival after they did not share the secret formula for making Krabby Patties as children. Plankton also opened a diner called “The Garbage Bucket,” but due to the fact that he got the wrong part of the formula for the dishes, it is impossible to eat the dishes he prepared, and therefore no one goes to the diner. The evil genius of Bikini Bottom devotes his entire life to stealing the rest of the Krabby Patty recipe from Mr. Krabs.

Little green Plankton can easily hide anywhere (in one episode he even got inside SpongeBob). Appearance It also serves as an excellent disguise for him to make it easier to get into Krabs’ safe, where the treasured formula is stored, but he still always fails. Every time he is spotted by SpongeBob and Eugene Krabs, they either flush him down the toilet or slingshot him back into the “Wash Bucket.”

Plankton, desperate for a while, never ceases to hope that sooner or later he will have the whole formula. He continues to hatch plans for new attempts at theft, with his computer wife Karen helping him. Despite the fact that Plankton himself wrote the program for Karen, she is much smarter than her husband, but he will never admit this.

A real squirrel from Texas, Sandy lives under a plastic air dome near Bikini Bottom. Her home is an oak tree, and acorns are Sandy’s weakness, and the squirrel is also excellent at karate, which once helped SpongeBob meet her and make friends. Sandy was sent into the air dome by monkey sponsors for scientific research, which she spends at the bottom of the ocean, each time wearing her underwater suit.

In contrast to Plankton, Sandy is a very smart scientist, her inventions help all the inhabitants live, but in the case when SpongeBob is the guinea pig, the result is complete confusion.
Sometimes SpongeBob and Patrick come to visit Sandy under the dome and fill their helmets with water to get to her. Usually Sandy is very friendly, but not when she is woken up and brought out of hibernation, then the squirrel becomes very aggressive and is no longer responsible for her actions.

7 SpongeBob characters - 7 deadly sins

One of the most popular American cartoons is SpongeBob SquarePants. I honestly tried to watch several episodes, but I didn’t find anything there other than impenetrable stupidity. I categorically did not like the cartoon. However, the project has existed since 1999. I recently came across some very interesting material about how the main characters of the cartoon “SpongeBob” personify mortal sins. No more and no less! And now about this in more detail.

The first episode of the cartoon aired on July 17, 1999. The action takes place at the bottom Pacific Ocean, where there is a tiny town called Bikini Bottom. This is where the characters live. By the way, in 2004, the full-length cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie” was also released. The series came to Russia in 2003. The broadcast was carried out on the TNT channel

So, about mortal sins.

Mr. Krabs represents greed. In the story, he is the greedy boss of the main character SpongeBob. Krabs saves all the time, thinks only about money and profit.

Plankton is a symbol of envy. The character is small in size, but his ego is inflated beyond measure. He constantly makes insidious plans on how to get what fate has unfairly deprived him of. In particular, the recipe for Krabby Patties.

Patrick represents laziness. He's so lazy about everything that he lives under a rock. This cartoon character does not work, but only plays and sleeps.

Sandy is a symbol of pride. This funny underwater squirrel is very proud that it is native to Texas, but can live underwater. Sandy spends almost all her time trying to become even more perfect.

Squidward symbolizes anger. Here comments, as they say, are unnecessary. There wasn't an episode where this character wasn't angry at SpongeBob and his friend Patrick.

Gary is the personification of gluttony. The little animal that lives with SpongeBob mostly sleeps and meows. However, he meows from a constant and indomitable feeling of hunger.

And finally, the main character!

SpongeBob is a symbol of lust. It is precisely this analogy that you will not notice at first glance. We associate the word “lust” with lust and sex. However, lust is also a passionate thirst for something in general. SpongeBob in the animated series is simply obsessed with a thirst for new experiences and life in all its manifestations.

What are Krabby Patties made of?

Do you like the cartoon about SpongeBob? Then better not read this article! ( At the very end - voting: What do you think about it?).

But if you want to know everything...

- Are you ready, children?

- Yes captain!

Then now we will destroy the “rose dreams” of a carefree childhood.

This is the pinnacle of underwater cuisine and can only be found in Bikini Bottom's Krusty Krab. It's a Krabby Patty! And only SpongeBob knows how to cook it. True, he receives his food as ready-made semi-finished products...

For many years, people and fish have asked the question: "Where does the Krabby Patty meat come from?"

It turns out that the founder, owner, manager and CEO, Eugene H. Krabs may be keeping the formula secret for a very good reason.

Clarification from Beauty: Officially, he is not Eugene, but Eugene. That is, in Russian Eugene is Evgeniy, but everyone is used to calling him Eugene Krabs.

That's because the Krabby Patty is made from... crabs.

Mr. Krabs turns out to be a real cannibal: he eats his own kind! What you won’t do for money!

Has he built his entire life on eating his relatives?

Please note that Mr. Krabs is the only crab in the cartoon. In Bikini Bottom, we only know Mr. Krabs and his mommy.

All the rest are NOT crabs!

NOT A CRAB either:

And they are NOT CRABS at all:

However, in one episode (Greedy Krabs) we meet a group of greedy crabs who really don't like to spend their money. But they're not from Bikini Bottom, so that doesn't disprove the theory that Krabs is a cannibal.

And then there are the menu items. This is amazingly accurate. Everything here is about crabs! How come we didn't see this?

Finally, the restaurant is literally shaped like a crab pot. Well, exactly!

This is already too much.

But we will never know exactly what is in the recipe, whether the theory of this origin of meat for Krabby Patty is correct, but the facts given above make us think!

What do you think?!

Is Krabs a cannibal?

Or is he still a kind, albeit greedy boss?

Alternative opinions

Many people have tried making crab cakes and beef cutlets. No matter how you try to make them, Krabby Patties still don't come out right. Perhaps the recipe calls for “beef” from sea cows?

There is an episode in the series where Plankton finally receives the secret formula and is horrified to learn the secret ingredient - and it looks like plankton.
Clarification from Beauty: About the series about Plankton. There, Krabs deliberately falsified the recipe in order to throw off Plankton, so the meat was clearly made from something else...
