TV Show Spongebob Squarepants

The show Spongebob Squarepants has television watchers around the world hooked due to its wit and endearing characters. Taking place in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob Squarepants, the most prominent of all the characters, is a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Most often seen at the Krusty Krab, Spongebob expresses his love of cooking krabby patties and provides an income for him and his pet snail, Gary. Run by the greedy Mr. Krabs, the Krusty Krab is a fast food restaurant envied by Plankton, a small creature that owns an unsuccessful diner near the Krusty Krab. Squidward, another Krusty Krab employee as well as Spongebob’s neighbor, is pessimistic about nearly everything. He constantly complains about Spongebob and only enjoys things

Patrick Star, a pink starfish that lives by Spongebob, never proves to have much intelligence and could be compared to a sloth. Patrick and Spongebob are the greatest of friends and usually enjoy their time together by acting on a new, silly idea. Sometimes accompanying them on this is Sandy Cheeks, a prideful squirrel from Texas. Though the television show aims to appeal to children, certain actions taken by the characters prove to intrigue adults due to its relatable references.
The characters of the show demonstrate numerous values such as accomplishment, bravery, inspiration, and much more. Yet, a realization occurs when a viewer realizes that each character represents a value that they demonstrate to the extreme. It is recognized that Mr. Krabs represents greed. The restaurant owner only cares about money, leading every one of his acts to revolve around its financial effect on himself. Squidward signifies prestige and holds no patriotism for his small town of Bikini Bottom. His only concern is with becoming famous through his artistic and musical abilities. Patrick Star exemplifies laziness due to loving to eat, sleep, and having an unwillingness to act.

Similar to real life situations, the town proves to be a representation of society. Each citizen is unique, yet must learn to coexist with those around them. Bikini Bottom consists of educational institutes, places of employment, and divisions of town where the citizens must live. Just like in American society, the citizens must unite to provide an adequate living environment for themselves and others. Yet, a cunning realization of the show is that it not only encourages the American Dream, but it also notes life’s tests. No matter a person’s age, a citizen is going to experience conflicts that inevitably go along with living in society. For the younger audience, Bikini Bottom provides them with an understanding of what to expect in life. Struggles and clashes that occur in Bikini Bottom are similar to those that happen in a real society. The comical characters, particularly Spongebob, provide children with the types of ways they will see people dealing with the misfortunes of life. For example, Spongebob deals with struggling by using optimism to make the best of a situation. Mr. Krabs retorts to this same kind of situation by looking for someone else to blame. No matter how the character’s personality forces them to react to pressure, it shows the young viewer an important lesson of people. For the older audience, these same personalities of characters help them reflect on the people they have
