SpongeBob Squarepants created by Marine Biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg is an animated TV series about a yellow sea sponge that lives underwater in a pineapple in this town called Bikini Bottom. He is energetic and has a pet snail named Gary. His best friend, Patrick Star, lives two houses down from him in a rock. Right next door to SpongeBob is his co- worker and neighbor Squidward Tentacles who hates SpongeBob, Patrick, and working at the Krusty Krabs. SpongeBob loves his job at the Krusty Krabs and bothering Squidward. The Krusty Krabs is the world to SpongeBob that he would even work at that place for free.
The show is a fast paced program. According to Psychology Today, it said that the University of Virginia did a study with four year old children. They have one group watch SpongeBob, they have another group watch Caillou, and then another group draw. They did a test right after the programs were done. The children that watched SpongeBob did poorly compared to the other two groups.
I will be using textual analysis to analyze this artifact. In one of the episodes called Not Normal, SpongeBob and Squidward got into a fight like they always due. Squidward told SpongeBob that he wasn’t normal. He was super upset that he decided to change himself into normal. He changed himself completely that also affected his work and friends. After losing almost everything SpongeBob has he decided that normal wasn’t for him. He went to Patrick for help so that he can be abnormal again. They basically humiliated themselves and have the public laughing at them.
This episode promotes that it is okay to hurt other people’s feelings and do dumb things in the public eye and that it is okay. Squidward telling SpongeBob that he is not normal causing him to change into a whole different person. That is hurtful and can cause a lot of damage to one person such as their self-esteem.
SpongeBob Squarepants and Squidward tentacles are both a part of Nickelodeon’s best show SpongeBob Squarepants. SpongeBob and Squidward have a few similarities but most of all they are very different, even though the both of them live under the sea they have different personalities and they like different things.
SpongeBob and Squidward both live under the sea in Bikini Bottom. They are next-door neighbors living on the same block. Both of them work for Mr. Crabs at the Crabby Patties
Despite their Similarities the sponge and the squid are very different. SpongeBob is a very joyful/happy sponge that has fun doing anything. Unlike Squidward who is very hateful/despiteful squid who is annoyed by anyone, and everything.
SpongeBob and Squidward (like their personalities) are very different they like different things. For example, SpongeBob loves his job as a fry cook at the Crabby Patty. On the other hand, Squidward hates his job as the cashier for Mr. Crabs. Along with their differences at work, they also have differences when it comes to food. When it comes to food SpongeBob’s favorite food is a crabby patty burger Squidward’s favorite food is bread in a can. They also have cretin things that they like to do. Squidward loves playing his clarinet (which he has named Claire). Sponge unlike Squidward can not just stay in one place and do one thing peacefully so he likes to hang out with his best friend, Patrick (who lives two houses down under a rock).
So as plain as the eye can see it is obvious that SpongeBob Squarepants and Squidward Tentacles are very different.
