Spongebob lobster. Cartoon "SpongeBob" and its funny characters

In the cartoon "SpongeBob" the characters are created specifically interesting and unique in order to arouse the interest of children. They are memorable for their features, attract attention and often make kids laugh. Each of the main characters is a separate person with his own tastes and desires. That is why all fans of the animated film should know them.

Main character

In this story, the main character is SpongeBob. The rest of the characters are connected to him in one way or another. This cook is small in size, yellow in appearance and resembles He cooks the best hamburgers in the world, which are called “Krabby Patties”. He loves and appreciates his work, because even the greed of his boss does not prevent him from continuing to do what he loves. Every day he takes part in various adventures and faces different problems. Faithful friends help him avoid trouble. Together with them, he loves to hunt jellyfish, practice karate, launch soap cartoons and watch the adventures of marine superheroes.

Patrick

In the animated series "SpongeBob", the main characters often appear on the screens, and one of them is Patrick the starfish. This eccentric character does not have any special mental abilities and can do nothing for days on end. Despite this, he is SpongeBob's best friend and they spend a lot of time together when main character not at work. Together they often hunt jellyfish, although these animals cause a lot of trouble for them during entertainment. Patrick has a huge appetite and is able to eat a whole bunch of Krabby Patties at one time, which his best friend cooks. It is this character who comes up with the craziest activities for the kids with different consequences. He looks like a starfish, is completely pink and always wears shorts with the same image. His inability to think is explained scientific fact that living beings of this class do not have a brain. This is exactly what is shown in the cartoon. The character often surprises and appears in every episode.

Angry neighbor

In each episode, in addition to Patrick, Squidward, whom SpongeBob loves very much, also appears. The characters never get along with each other, although the main character considers him his friend. Being next to the yellow chef only brings trouble to this octopus. He loves art and tries to find inspiration for painting and playing the violin, but Patrick and Bob constantly disturb him with their games and noise. Peace and quiet - his best friends, but he never manages to be in this state. Unlike the main character, Squidward hates his job as a cashier at a diner, because there he runs into Bob. At first glance, it seems that he dreams of running away from the eternal noise of his neighbors, but in fact he has gotten used to it. In the episode where he moved to the octopus town, the character begins to experience boredom over time. He gets tired of the daily monotony and makes his own fun. In the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, the character often looks dejected. It is very rare to see a smile on the face of an octopus.

Sandy

In the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants", the character Sandy is not a sea creature. This inhabitant of the earthly kingdom is a squirrel, but one day she decided to move to the underwater world. The girl is an avid athlete and is always in great physical fitness. She lives in a special dome where there is air, and moves under water wearing a spacesuit. When SpongeBob and Patrick come to visit her, they put aquariums of water on their heads. This character comes from Texas and her cheerful and at the same time razor-sharp character speaks about this. Everyone knows that it’s better not to make Sandy angry, otherwise everyone around her will get it. She has enormous power and is the main character's karate partner. Squirrel devotes everything free time training in various types sports Sandy's main dream is to fly to the moon and explore the terrain in space. She became friends with Bob immediately after moving to the bottom of the sea, and it was he who helped her get used to her new home.

Eternal confrontation

There are characters from the cartoon "SpongeBob" who are eternal enemies. These include Eugene Krabs and Plankton. They are both the owners of eateries, but the first establishment is successful due to the excellent culinary skills of the protagonist. The second one tries to attract customers with the help of technology and constantly fails. Krabs' safe contains the secret formula for the recipe for delicious Krabby Patties. It is this that Plankton tries to steal in almost every episode. He fails to do this, because the owner protects her along with Bob. Their battles never end, because the crab's resourceful opponent always finds new and original ways to steal the recipe. Mr. Krabs dreams of making a million, because what he loves most in life is money. Plankton only hopes that his establishment will one day become popular. It is his the main objective in life and he tries to follow it, despite daily failures.

Other characters

There are other SpongeBob characters who appear on screen from time to time. This includes the snail Gary, the protagonist's favorite pet. There are many episodes associated with him, when he was looking for his love and even ran away from Bob in search of a new life. Sometimes Mr. Krabs's capricious daughter Pearl appears on the screens, asking for money for new clothes or entertainment. Karen is Plankton's mechanical wife who runs his establishment. In series related to sports competitions, Larry the Lobster appears, and other SpongeBob characters cannot resist. The main characters always dreamed of taking a photo with him, and one day they succeeded. In some episodes, Mrs. Puff appears and tries to teach Bob how to drive a car. He is not at all inclined to this, and therefore the teacher always suffers from these trips and often gets into accidents. Mrs. Puff has repeatedly asked SpongeBob to stop trying to pass the driving test, but he does not give up and continues to torment the examiner.

The adventures of the heroes do not end, so new characters may soon appear on the screen.

“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. As an adult, 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.

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 Krabby Patty recipe that 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.

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 SquarePants” or simply “SpongeBob” is one of the most popular cartoons on the Nickelodeon television channel. Yes, my dear, but not quite a young friend. In fact, Nickelodeon is an entire American animated television channel, which in the early and mid-2000s was shown as a series of cartoons on the TNT channel. That is, in fact, it was a truncated, cropped segment of an entire television channel. It was through him that we learned about such cartoons: “As Ginger Says,” “CatDog,” “The Wild Thornberry Family,” “Rugrats!”, “Jimmy Neutron – Boy Genius,” etc.

"SpongeBob" on Nickelodeon

It is worth noting that the original Nickelodeon, as well as other similar channels, broadcast many very mediocre “masterpieces” of animation. I won’t say anything at all about the current state of things. Based on this, we can conclude that the Russian young and green viewer was shown the cream of the crop, carefully collected by caring producers.

Russian version of the logo

SpongeBob is one of the longest-running projects that continues to eat away at the fragile psyche of the younger generation. To date, 234 episodes have been released, and 267 are planned. Thus, we see that the imagination of the authors of this opus is practically inexhaustible and continues to generate new trash.

At one time, and this was 2003-2005. a cartoon about a yellow sponge, more like a dishwashing sponge than an inhabitant of the seabed, enslaved my consciousness. Of the entire series of Nickelodeon cartoons, on the then tube-based TNT, I was looking forward to this one with more impatience than the others. It must be said that he was very successful on air: he was always shown last. And if you didn’t have time to watch the first and second cartoons while you were galloping home from school, popping into the store for some goodies along the way, then you always had time to watch SpongeBob. Personally, I started to get crazy about the yellow sponge even before it became mainstream, that is, before those pedagogical-Emar times of 2007, but more on that a little later.

Characters of the cartoon "SpongeBob"

Today we will talk about the main characters of this opus, and perhaps you will learn something new for yourself.

Are you ready, children?

Yes captain!

I can not hear!

That's right, captain!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Who lives at the bottom of the ocean???

SpongeBob Squapens!!!

SpongeBob

Let's start with Sponge. Few people know, but full name This guy is Robert Harold SquarePants, and he was born on July 14, 1986 (according to his passport). As an adult, already formed person, the question immediately arises in me: “Is it really possible that a little boy, let’s call him a boy, works for an adult uncle in a cafe like a galley slave? This is the use of child labor. Merciless! However, my question will still remain unanswered. It's a cartoon.

SpongeBob character from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

The image of the sponge itself is still positioned as the image of a sea sponge, despite its appearance, which, by the way, is very pleasing. I was always amused by his teeth - two incisors, always sticking out; awkwardly long arms; a lot of holes all over the body; square pants that don't lose their shape even when the character takes them off; and most importantly - the possibility of transformation into any state and image.

In his behavior, Sponge really looks like a teenage child: he constantly has fun with his best friend Patrick, comes up with crazy ideas, and generally behaves fearlessly in relation to many things.

Despite his age, for some reason he works at the Krusty Krabs for the miser Mr. Krabs, which, however, does not prevent the former from being happy: he works as a farmhand for himself, he is least interested in pleasure and his material condition. He became 364 times best employee month, which seems to hint.

And although, if you think about it in all seriousness, this cartoon cannot be fully called children’s, the character of SpongeBob is very optimistic, naive, kind, hardworking and has many positive qualities, which creates a favorable image.

In the wake of Emar and Pedov hysteria, which occurred in the mid-2000s (yes, that same 2007 that cannot be returned!) the cartoon received new life, in particular, Sponge’s popularity skyrocketed.

Crowds of teenagers aged 12 to 19 staged raids on kiosks/stalls, stationery stores and anything else that had any paraphernalia with cartoon characters. Below is just the tip of the iceberg.

What else is SpongeBob remembered by the 2000s generation? I associate one wonderful game with it. Who remembers her besides me? Now let's do a little test.

If, at the sight of this screenshot, your hair stood on end, something shrank or wrinkled, then you understand what I mean. This is the same canonical “find 3 differences” game, after which your life will not be the same :)

After you have “found 3 differences”, SpongeBob appears on the screen, as if mocking you.

Gary the Snail

Gary the snail, SpongeBob's pet, is very reminiscent of a cat in its habits, although in a number of episodes it destroys existing stereotypes: it squeals, roars and even barks. However, he only barks when he is angry, which is rare.

Patrick Star

Patrick Star is, in my opinion, the second most important cartoon character. He is a starfish with an absolute absence of a brain, which is manifested through the actions he performs, the generation of ideas, etc. Patrick and SpongeBob are best friends who live next door and love to catch jellyfish and blow bubbles. Patrick doesn’t work, he sits at home all day and watches TV, which personifies the dim-witted, dumb inhabitant of the world. Irony? Maybe.

Speaking about this character, it can be noted that he often likes to expose his body parts, in particular his butt, which has become a kind of cartoon meme.

Squidward

Squidward is a humanoid octopus who is in some ways an antagonist to SpongeBob. He works at the Krusty Krabs with a sponge, but he hates his job. Moreover, he embodies the most worst qualities– cynicism, pretentiousness, willfulness, narcissism, vanity, selfishness, etc.

In addition to their shared place of work, Squidward and SpongeBob are neighbors, which causes the former to constantly suffer. Earlier I mentioned that SpongeBob is a cheerful, naive, active child, whose energy extends to everything living and inanimate within a radius of several kilometers. The first to suffer from this is Squidward, who loves peace, tranquility and gets irritated for any reason. Speaking modern language, the octopus is furiously butt-hurt every episode by SpongeBob, who has extremely good intentions.

Squidward character, in addition to the classic animated film, gained additional popularity due to mysterious story, associated with the so-called "death file". To put it very briefly: there is a legend according to which the studio producing the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the mid-2000s - around 2005 - discovered a series of cartoons that was significantly different from all the others. It was called "Squidward's Suicide", and was stuffed with various creepy moments. Of course, this is just a legend, although you can find a bunch of “original” versions of this series on the Internet.

Sandy Cheeks

The female character in the cartoon is represented by the smart astronaut squirrel Sandy Cheeks, who is also the girlfriend of SpongeBob and Patrick Star. Given the growing popularity of the feminist movement and the desire to push positive female characters at any television project, we can say that the creators of the cartoon foresaw the future :)

Sandy is a talented scientist and inventor. Sandy is also interested in extreme sports, weightlifting, martial arts and is a rodeo champion.

Since Sandy the squirrel is a representative of animals that live on land, her home is a huge tree under a dome with a climate corresponding to the surface on earth.

Mr. Krabs

Mr. Krabs, whose full name is Eugene Harold Krabs, is Squidward and SpongeBob's employer, owns the Krusty Krab. According to one of the episodes, he was born on November 30, 1942, which hints at his old age, which does not prevent him, however, from trying to extract maximum profit from even a grain of sand or stone. In the very literally words is a miser and a miser, caring only about his personal well-being. Viewers have several versions on this matter. According to the first, the desire to accumulate money is the cause of hopeless poverty in childhood; and according to the second, his “nationality” is you-know-who.

Mr. Krabs is short, red, and plump, and has very tall eyestalks, a frilled nose, large claws, and very short, pointy legs. He wears a blue shirt. Krabs is often compared to a sailor or pirate. Despite his money-grubbing ways, it is sometimes apparent that Mr. Krabs is not entirely heartless. He sometimes apologizes for his actions. He loves SpongeBob and his daughter and takes care of her. He respects SpongeBob and Squidward as they help keep his restaurant afloat.

Plankton

Another antagonist, but this time Mr. Krabs, is Plankton. Plankton is a failed businessman (owns the Trash Can restaurant), lives with his computer wife and has a fix on capturing the secret recipe for the KrustyKrabsburger. Previously, she and Eugene were inseparable, but it was the secret recipe that ended their friendship.

Despite his business failures, he still hopes to obtain the secret recipe and, as a result, develop his restaurant. All his inventions serve one purpose - to annoy Mr. Krabs.

These are the main characters of the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants". Of course, there are a number minor characters: hedgehog fish - teacher of driving lessons to SpongeBob, Pearl - adopted daughter of Mr. Krabs, Karen - computer wife of Plankton, etc.

Finally I will share with you fun fact, found on the Internet.

There is an opinion that a number of cartoon characters personify the 7 deadly sins: Mr. Krabs - Greed, Plankton - Envy, Patrick - Laziness, Dejection, Sandy the Squirrel - Pride, Squidward - Anger, SpongeBob - Lust, Gary the Snail - Gluttony.

And the truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle...

If you ask any fan without thinking to name the most greedy of the inhabitants of the seabed, there is a 99 chance out of 100 that he will blurt out - yes, it’s Mr. Krabs! Yes, this is the Bikini Bottom resident who would win the curmudgeon competition (which he once successfully did in one of the episodes). The love of money is his main love, he considers himself a successful businessman and tries to earn more and more without caring about his clients. And there are actually a lot of them - after all, Krabs’ brainchild is the well-known seafood diner “The Krusty Krab”. It is there that two more characters from the animated series work - SpongeBob and Squidward. The diner is known as a place where they try by all means to save money on visitors, while making them pay as much as possible - but visitors still go to it, because only here you can try the famous Krabby Patties, know-how from Mr. Krabs. Krabs keeps the secret of the signature preparation of this dish like the apple of his eye.

Another strange fact about Krabs's job is that he gets along great with Squidward, who obviously fills all the responsibilities that his boss assigns to him, but constantly yells and swears at SpongeBob, who loves his job and devotes his whole life to it (in breaks between games). Krabs judges the sea inhabitants around him solely by how they can affect the state of his bank account - Krabs hates those on whom he needs to spend money, being very tolerant of those who bring him profit.

Despite his miserliness, Krabs once managed to be married and even have a daughter - Kitty Pearl, a hysterical and narcissistic girl who seeks to get as much out of her stingy father as possible. more money. Pearl is a real headache for Krabs, and he is trying to save money on her too. Krabs even saves on himself - after all, being one of the main entrepreneurs of Bikini Bottom, he lives in an old abandoned anchor. As for Krabs' romantic interests, once in the series he was in love, which, however, ended quite quickly.

Krabs' special distinction is the fact that he served in navy- for three whole years, from 1976 to 1979. His army friends and stories related to this period pop up from time to time in the animated series - Krabs remembers those times with pride and it is clear that he really liked it in the army. He even managed to take part in the war that took place in the ocean.

The pedigree of Mr. Krabs is also interesting - after all, as we learn in one of the episodes, there were pirates in his family. One of them was his grandfather, which Mr. Krabs is quite proud of. Of course, he immediately finds in himself a lot of signs of a real pirate and attributes his greed to “pirate qualities,” because they, too, are constantly in search of gold.

Of the minor characters in the animated series, Mr. Krabs is one of the most characteristic and interesting. His eternal confrontation with Plankton, the owner of the Slop Bucket diner, gives the character a special flavor and interestingness. Some interesting facts about him will undoubtedly help to get to know him better:

• Mr. Krabs's full name is Eugene Harold Krabs, and his military nickname is Steel Claw;
• He has the only suit; Krabs has no other clothes. The only time in the series that the viewer sees him without his suit is when he loses his shell;
• Mr. Krabs' trademarks are his pirate talk, as well as his special, rasping laugh;
• Mr. Krabs has tried numerous times to sell his soul in exchange for unlimited financial wealth;
• Mr. Krabs had a pet worm named Doodles, who only appeared in a few episodes. His further fate is unknown;
• This character's date of birth is November 30, 1958.
