His neighbor, Squidward, an octopus who lives in a house that looks like a statue from Easter Island, constantly complains that SpongeBob does not allow him to live in peace. Very often SpongeBob gets too emotional, even in matters that he doesn't even know about (for example, when Squidward suggested that he go on strike at the Krusty Krab, and SpongeBob was very happy about it, although he didn't know what it was) . This, coupled with his excessive sociability and dolphin-like laugh, irritates others characters, such as Mrs. Puff, Squidward, and Plankton.

Working for many days without sleep or rest, Spongebob goes crazy and begins to panic about the subject of his activity. He goes to a psychoanalyst, under whose guise Plankton himself disguised himself, and tries to be cured. Plankton puts Spongebob to sleep and intends to find out the recipe through hypnosis, but Spongebob wakes up rested and full of energy, schizophrenia goes away completely.
  • In the episode "Friend or Foe?" Krabs and Plankton become friends again, the latter coming to his sworn enemy with an apology and vowing that he will never try to steal the secret formula again.

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...

What do you think the meat for Krabby Patties is from?

These are crabs!

From plankton.

This is the meat of sea cows.

It's not meat at all!

I have a different opinion.

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 of the Pacific Ocean, where there is a tiny town called Bikini Bottom. This is where the characters live. By the way, in 2004 it was released and full-length cartoon"SpongeBob square Pants: movie". 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.

SpongeBob SquarePants is one of children's favorite cartoon characters. Bright hero, ready to help friends, promoting decency, courage and honesty, is popular today among children and teenagers. Branded products featuring the cartoon character are in demand all over the world.

History of creation

SpongeBob (in Russian translation - SpongeBob) became the hero of the animated series, the premiere episode of which was released on television in the spring of 1999. The product of the children's television channel Nickelodeon turned out to be no less in demand than Hey Arnold! or "Catdog". The story of a small sponge living at the bottom of the ocean in the town of Bikini Bottom has attracted the interest of millions of viewers. The cartoon was about the main character, whose home was a pineapple located on Shell Street, and about his neighbors: an octopus, Sandy the squirrel and a starfish.

SpongeBob works at Mr. Krabs and is trying to get a promotion. The character's life is busy interesting events. The hero learns to drive, receives unexpected guests, organizes parties and takes part in unpredictable scams. The cartoon character was invented by Stephen Hillenburg, and Thomas Kenny gave his voice to SpongeBob.

Marine biologist Hillenburg always felt a craving for art, and at some point he overcame it. common sense. A specialist in marine life, he took an animation course and, upon completing it, gave life to a character that had no analogues in cinema. Underwater city, invented by the author, is inhabited by animals whose introduction to the viewer required only the consent of the Nickelodeon channel.


Hillenburg prepared a presentation, offering sketches and sculptures for the producers' consideration, as well as a composed song for the introduction. The idea turned out to be in demand. After some time, the cartoon gathered an impressive audience of fans in front of the screens. Today the project is a nominee and winner prestigious awards in the field of television and animation.

Animated series

The characters in the project are unusual and interesting. Spongebob is central character actions. His age is undetermined and irrelevant. Sponge is not just a symbol for a character. Unlike friends, the hero is not an animal, but an inanimate object. While working at the Krusty Krabs, SpongeBob prepares burgers, the recipe of which Plankton is trying to steal. The hero loves his job and works tirelessly year after year.


The character's adventures are directly related to the infantilism of Sponge and his neighbors. In the company of friends, he catches jellyfish, learns karate, bubble and watches cartoons. The stupid Patrick became SpongeBob's close friend. An eccentric starfish in Hawaiian shorts is distinguished by laziness and mass bad habits. IN free time friends are having fun and doing all sorts of pranks. Patrick often becomes a source of problems for Bob. The starfish's narrow-mindedness is explained by biological reasons, but this does not become a problem for the heroes' friendship.

The opposite of SpongeBob is the talented and cunning octopus Squidward. They don't get along with each other, but are forced to live next door. An art lover, the octopus paints pictures, plays the violin and loves silence. He rarely gets to be alone and calm, because Bob and Patrick constantly drag him into adventure stories. Unlike Sponge, Squidward does not like work and constant fun, but in some episodes he becomes bored, and, remembering his neighbor’s carelessness, he has fun in his house.


SpongeBob is friends with Sandy the Squirrel, who lives on the seabed in a special aquarium and moves around the town in the aquarium. An athlete and scholar, she moved to Bikini Bottom from Texas. The squirrel often helps Bob out of trouble. The leitmotif of their relationship has a slight hint of romance, but the story of Sponge and Squirrel remains unfinished. SpongeBob helps Sandy understand some of the laws of the sea and introduces her to available types entertainment.

The main character also has enemies. Eugene Krabs and Plankton are among them. Competing eatery owners are trying to gain the upper hand. The first attracts the public with a wonderful dish, and the second with technical innovations. Marine life prefer Krabby Patties, so Plankton often loses in the fight. SpongeBob has repeatedly defended the secret of making burgers from his competitor, but Plankton inexorably repeats his attempts to find out the secret.


From time to time, a silent character appears on the screen who means a lot to the main character. This is his pet snail Gary. Sometimes viewers see Mr. Krabs' daughter in the form of a whale. Plankton's wife (a mechanized creature), Harry's lobster trainer or Mrs. Puff's puffer fish, who teaches Bob to drive, do not appear in every episode, but they have a unique charm.

  • Few people know that SpongeBob - diminutive name Spongebob. His name is actually Robert Harold SquarePants. At first he was given the name Sponge Boy, but it turned out that popular brand detergents is already using it, and the hero had to be renamed. The author assumed that the character should have a round body, but over time abandoned this idea, since it suited the character of the hero more unusual shape. Bob wears a shirt and tie and a red hat and occasionally appears in underwear.

  • Critics believe that the characters in the animated series symbolize mortal sins. So, Mr. Krabs is credited with greed, and Plankton is credited with envy. Patrick suffers from laziness, and Sandy struggles with anger. The snail loves to eat and symbolizes gluttony, and Bob satisfies his lust. At the same time, lust is not understood as literally, but in analogy with the character’s inner passions, which cannot always be overcome. Crazy ideas constantly appear in Bob's head, the implementation of which he is unable to refuse.
  • The cartoon and its characters gained popularity in 2007, after the release of the second season. In 2007, Time magazine recognized the project as the best television product. Among the popular episodes of the series, viewers named “The Idiot Box,” “The Clever Crane,” and “Stuck in the Refrigerator.”

“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, docked segment of the whole 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 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!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

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 an image sea ​​sponge, despite his appearance, which, by the way, is very pleasing. I was always amused by his teeth - two incisors, always sticking out; awkward Long hands; a bunch 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.


Those square pants

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 in the Krusty Krabs establishment 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 the best employee of the month 364 times, which seems to be a 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 a lot of 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.

Spongebob pins


Keychain with SpongeBob (I had exactly the same one!)

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.


Screenshot of the famous flash game “Find 3 differences”

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


Gary the Snail character from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

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 - 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.

Character Patrick Star from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

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.


Briefly about Patrick and his passions

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. In addition, he embodies the worst qualities - cynicism, pretentiousness, self-will, narcissism, vanity, selfishness, etc.

Squidward character from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Besides common place work, Squidward and SpongeBob are neighbors, from which the former constantly suffers. 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 one 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 at the studio producing the cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants”, in the mid-2000s - around 2005 - a cartoon series was discovered 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.


Variations on the theme "Roskomnadzor Squidward"

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.

Character Sandy Cheeks from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

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.


Sandy Cheeks House

Mr. Krabs

Mr. Krabs, whose full name is Eugene Harold Krabs, is Squidward and SpongeBob's employer, owns the Krusty Krab. According to one episode, he was born on November 30, 1942, which hints at his elderly age, which does not prevent him, however, from trying to extract maximum profit even from a grain of sand or stone. In the most literal sense of the word, he is a miser and a miser, caring only about his personal well-being. Viewers have several versions about this. 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.


The character Mr. Krabs from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

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 fixation on capturing secret recipe KrustyKrabsburger. Previously, she and Eugene were inseparable, but it was the secret recipe that ended their friendship.

Character Plankton from the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"

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’ll share with you a fun fact I 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...
