History
SpongeBob SquarePants is just your average sea sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea with his pet sea snail Gary in the quaint town of Bikini Bottom. He's a humble fry cook working at the Krusty Krab and is just trying to live as ordinary a life as someone like him can have, alongside a colorful array of friends. But whether it be forces beyond his control, his incredible naïveté, or just trouble having an unhealthy habit of finding him, there's really never a dull day for this underwater denizen.
