 Spongebob Squarepants is a talking square sponge "who lives in a pineapple under the sea." His relentless cheerfulness gets on the nerves of his grumpy neighbor, Squidward Tentacles. Spongebob works as a frycook at the Crusty Crab, owned by the kind-hearted but greedy Mr. Crabs. Spongebob s other pals are Gary, SB s pet snail, Patrick Star, a simple-minded starfish, and Sandy Cheeks, a space-suit wearing Texan squirrel.
