Octopus squidward. Squidward Quentin Tentacles is an octopus from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. Relationships with neighbors
The animated series SpongeBob SquarePants grossed $140 million worldwide and was one of the top five animated adaptations. How did the anthropomorphic sponge that lives in a pineapple manage to win the sympathy of not only children, but also adults? The following 14 facts will help you find out the answer to this question.
1. The idea to create SpongeBob SquarePants came from Stephen Hillenburg, who used to work as a marine biologist.
Stephen Hillenburg studied in a specialty related to the management of marine natural resources. After graduation, he taught ocean biology for several years at one of the higher educational institutions in California. Among other things, Hillenburg was also fond of drawing. He even created his own comic strip called "The Intertidal Zone" with SpongeBob as the main character.
In 1997, Hillenburg began work on the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants", which subsequently became very interesting for representatives of the children's television channel Nickelodeon.
2. The original character of the animated series, created by Stephen Hillenburg, wanted to be called the Sponge Boy
Initially, Stephen Hillenburg wanted to name the main character of his animated series Sponge Boy, or Sponge Boy. However, this name was already used by a company that produced mops, as well as various cleaning and detergent products. In any case, Hillenburg decided to keep the word "sponge" in the name of the main character of his cartoon (which, by the way, was originally called SpongeBoy Ahoy!), because he was afraid that children might take it for a piece of cheese.
3. SpongeBob owes his character to Jerry Lewis, Paul Reubens and Stan Laurel
According to director Derek Drymon, Hillenburg wanted the main character of his animated series to be cheerful, mischievous and joyful, like famous American comedians Jerry Lewis, Paul Reubens and Stan Laurel.
Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants, said that Hillenburg described his character as "half-child, half-adult" and compared him to the Munchkin (from The Wizard of Oz) and the aforementioned comedians.
4 Starfish Patrick was originally intended to be the evil, disgruntled bar owner.
The pink starfish character first appeared on the show when Hillenburg and Drymon were storyboarding the pilot for SpongeBob SquarePants. This was not the sweet and goofy Patrick Star, but the mean and rude owner of a roadside bar, among other things, a "hooligan and a bully" who was constantly annoyed about the color of his body. When Bill Fagerbakke voiced Patrick, he deliberately slowed down his speech and imagined that he had no neck, and his mouth was at chest level.
5. Is Squidward a squid or an octopus?
Nobody knows exactly who Squidward Tentacles really is. Some episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants say he's a squid, others say he's an octopus. Stephen Hillenburg created the image of a pessimistic cephalopod with six tentacles just to "not overload its visual perception."
6. The SpongeBob SquarePants fish that constantly yells "My leg!" has a name. Her name is Fred.
The name of the fish that constantly yells "My leg!" in the animated series was revealed in the episode "Patty Hype". Turns out her name is Fred.
7. Parody of the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"
In 2003, the Camp Chaos animation studio created a parody of Stephen Hillenburg's creation - an animated series called "Sponge Bong Hemp" especially for the show "Very American TV" (eng. "ILL-ustrated"), which was broadcast on VH1 and MTV2 channels. Trousers". Its main character lived in a fly agaric, was friends with Gashik and liked to smoke marijuana.
For obvious reasons, this cartoon never appeared on TV screens. But it can be found on YouTube, where it has collected more than 6.3 million views.
8. Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Robin Williams (against Stephen Hillenburg's original wishes) took part in the voice acting of the characters in the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants"
Initially, Stephen Hillenburg was against the fact that celebrities took part in voicing the characters of his animated series. Apparently, he was afraid that SpongeBob SquarePants would be compared to The Simpsons. Hillenburg made an exception only for Tim Conway and Ernest Borgnine, who in the first three seasons voiced their favorite characters SpongeBob, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
After Hillenburg stepped down as executive producer of the animated series, the people of Bikini Bottom began to speak in the voices of Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Robin Williams, Amy Poehler, Johnny Depp, Victoria Beckham, LeBron James, Pink, Patton Oswalt and other famous personalities.
9. Stephen Hillenburg didn't want Justin Timberlake to sing a song about SpongeBob SquarePants.
The SpongeBob SquarePants soundtrack has received numerous cover versions, including one by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne.
The lyrics to the song "Just a Kid", which is played in the cartoon by the American rock band "Wilco", were written by their vocalist Jeff Tweedy.
The soundtrack to the cartoon SpongeBob and Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy, which was performed by The Flaming Lips, its frontman Wayne Coyne, was originally planned to sing a duet with Justin Timberlake, but Stephen Hillenburg opposed this idea. He allegedly told Coyne that he didn't want to get involved with all sorts of "commercial" weirdos. "I don't like people for whom the main goal is to make a profit. I like you guys, Wilco and Ween," Hillenburg said.
10 Mushrooms Named After SpongeBob SquarePants
In 2010, Dennis Desjardins, a researcher at San Francisco State University, discovered a new species of mushroom in the Malaysian rainforests, which he decided to name Spongiforma squarepantsii after SpongeBob SquarePants.
Mushrooms Spongiforma squarepantsii were found on the island of Borneo (aka Kalimantan) in a place resembling the seabed, "covered with tubular sponges", some of which smelled of fruit, others of mold.
11 SpongeBob SquarePants Was Inspired By Ray Bradbury
Screenwriter Merryweather Williams looked to American writer Ray Bradbury for inspiration for the second season of SpongeBob SquarePants. She handed out several copies of his collection of essays, Zen in the Art of Bookwriting, to her team. Moreover, to generate ideas for the plot of the cartoon, Williams resorted to such a method as "Playing with nouns." She asked everyone to write three to six nouns on separate pieces of paper, after which she threw them into a hat and mixed them well. With the noun that Williams pulled out in the next moment, everyone had to write a short story in one minute.
12. Conservative NGOs Call SpongeBob SquarePants Animated Series Homosexual Propaganda
In 2005, conservative social organizations such as Focus on the Family claimed SpongeBob SquarePants was a homosexual propaganda tool. After this incident, the producers of the animated series began to say that the main character has no gender at all. In 2002, Stephen Hillenburg, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal, said that he considered all his characters to be "asexual."
The four-meter copy of David Hasselhoff weighing 340 kilograms took about 100 thousand dollars from the total budget of SpongeBob SquarePants. The actor himself appeared only at the end of the animated series, in an episode that was written even before the Baywatch star agreed to star in it. A giant mannequin by David Hasselhoff was sold at auction earlier this year.
14. SpongeBob SquarePants is the longest animated series ever shown on Nickelodeon.
The number of episodes of "SpongeBob SquarePants" filmed in the current (ninth) season will reach 200 pieces. New episodes of the animated series have not appeared on TV screens since March, as its producers are currently working on the completion of filming of the full-length film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, the release date of which is scheduled for February 2015 of the year.

Patrick is lazy
He lies under a rock for days, his to-do list consists of "Nothing", and in one episode he even received an award - for doing nothing the longest. It is customary to call it a sin, but we still believe that this is art.
Squidward - anger
This guy could play the lead role in Anger and Loathing in Bikini Bottom. Squidward is infuriated by his life, his work, his environment and everything. 
Mr Krabs - Greed
A creature with the motto "Money, money, money, money, MONEY!" raises no questions as to what sin to attribute it to. 
Plankton - envy
Jealous of Mr. Krabs, because he has success, clients, power and girls, and Plankton has cobwebs, decay and a robot wife who only does what she saws. 
Gary - gluttony
Fact: the purpose of this creature's life is to fill his belly. Very often, when Gary appears in the frame, SpongeBob says that the snail should be given food. Oh, yes kamon, in one episode the pet even ran away from home because the owner forgot to feed him! 
Sandy - pride
A squirrel who is insanely proud of his heritage, origin, level of development and position in society. At the same time, when her sense of self-importance is hurt, her facial expression becomes such that you immediately want to apologize for something.

Spongebob - lust
This item sounds the most dubious of all, but everything changes if you look in the dictionary. One definition of the word lust is excessive love for others. Sponge Bob is one of those people for whom it is important to be good in the eyes of others: he will never refuse a friend, acquaintance, passer-by in any, even the most stupid request. SpongeBob loves everyone and everyone, and it's useless to argue with that.
2. Patrick has an older sister Sam
Although I'd rather call it large sister. Sam speaks mostly in menacing sounds.
3. SpongeBob turns 30 this year.
Judging by the driver's license, Sponge's birthday is July 14, 1986.
4. Patrick weighs only 56 grams
Or 2 oz. That's what it says on his driver's license.
5. SpongeBob worked at the Krusty Krab for 31 years.
At least, this figure was in 2004, when the feature film "SpongeBob SquarePants" was released. It said that he received 374 Employee of the Month awards. 374 bonuses divided by 12 months = 31 years of service. In connection with the previous paragraph, I want to shout: logic, find yourself!
6. Squidward is not a squid, as is commonly believed
He is an octopus. And he has 6 limbs, not 8, as expected, because "it looked too brutal."
7. The creator of the series is a marine biologist
The idea for the show itself came to Stephen Hillenburg during another expedition to the seabed.
8. There is a character in the series who appears in moments of chaos and shouts: "My leg!" (My leg!)
His name is Fred and we think he's the most developed character on the show.9. A species of marine mushroom discovered in 2011 was named after SpongeBob.
Spongiforma Squarepantsii, aka Spongiforma squarepantsii. Looks like a cut orange.
10 SpongeBob Was Originally Called Sponge Boy

Likes to be at home. Squidward works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab. Very narcissistic. He is annoyed by everything around him, including SpongeBob and Patrick. But most of all he can't stand SpongeBob. Squidward is very strict and exacting. It is for this reason that he has most of the clashes with the "ill-mannered" SpongeBob and Patrick, who constantly violate the boundaries of his personal space. Squidward has a rather sparkling sense of humor, often with elements of sarcasm, which causes great sympathy and love of the audience. Many of his phrases and witty statements have long become winged. Squidward himself is an octopus. The name comes from English. words squidward (octopus).
Relationships with neighbors
Squidward lives between SpongeBob's pineapple house and Patrick's rock, in a large stone head that looks like a statue from Easter Island. While his neighbors SpongeBob and Patrick are very cheerful and cheerful, Squidward is very irritable. SpongeBob and Patrick consider Squidward their best friend, but Squidward himself does not share this opinion with them.

Their antics and games annoy Squidward, but in some circumstances he may be reluctant to participate in them. SpongeBob and Patrick periodically involve Squidward in different adventures. And always all bruises and other things go to him.
Art
Squidward is a diligent artist and musician, although his talent is completely absent, however, not always. In the Culture Shock series, Squidward wanted to become the star of the program with his number, but the audience did not appreciate his dance and much more willingly accepted SpongeBob, who cleaned the stage. The squid can only create in a fit of rage. This, for example, happened to him in the series Artist Unknown Squidward, in a fit of rage, accidentally created a beautiful sculpture.
Work
Squidward works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant and, unlike SpongeBob, hates his job. Squidward's workplace is located next to the kitchen where SpongeBob works, which also does not delight him. Squidward quit more than once because of Mr. Krabs' greed, but eventually returned. Squidward is often in a bad mood while at work. This is due to the fact that his creative potential was never realized, and instead of gaining fame and fortune, Squidward is forced to spend time at the cash register in the company of a bad neighbor and a greedy boss.
Squidward's house
Squidward's house looks like a statue from Easter Island "Moai". It is two storey. The living room has a blue and green sofa, TV, telephone, stereo systems, and the mouth of this statue serves as a door. The kitchen has a bamboo fridge and cupboard.
The bathroom consists of a bathtub with a receiver and a toilet. The walls are pink. Behind the bathroom is the bedroom. It has a lot of mirrors, a bedside table and a bed. There are many paintings in the gallery - the best works of Squidward. In addition, there is also a library where Squidward keeps and reads books. There is a reading table with a table lamp.
Interesting Facts
One day, SpongeBob accidentally smashed Squidward's face with a door. Once in the hospital, Squidward realizes that he is very handsome, and the whole Bikini Bottom is chasing him to get an autograph. Then SpongeBob smashes his face with the door again and he becomes even more handsome. But when he wanted to run away, he collided with a pillar and his face returned to normal.
In various episodes, Squidward performs in front of the public, but, oddly enough, with different results. He is mostly shown as a mediocre musician and artist. At the same time, in one of the episodes, he writes music for the Bikini Bottom Symphony Orchestra, and it is perceived with a standing ovation. Also, in the episode Best Day Ever, Squidward puts on a concert for SpongeBob, and the audience, judging by the applause, liked it. So Squidward's talent is ambiguous.
Squidward has a rival, Squilliam, who is a talented musician and millionaire.
One of the most controversial characters in the animated series about the adventures of SpongeBob is Squidward. Squidward Quincy Tentacle - that's exactly what his full name sounds like - an octopus, but some confuse it with a squid, obviously because you can't count eight tentacles - there are only six of them. The animators of the series explained this artistic decision by the fact that with eight tentacles, Squidward would have looked too bulky. And so - always toned and even skinny, which perfectly complements his character, Squidward manages well with the help of six tentacles.
Squidward was unlucky with his place of residence. Let his cute house of an unusual shape be both comfortable and interesting, but he managed to settle down between the houses of Patrick and Sponge! It is for this reason that various troubles constantly occur - friends interfere with his sleep, rest and, in general, live. In addition, the couple also demand friendship from Squid, which in itself is unthinkable. The octopus has to cross paths with Sponge regularly - they work in the same establishment, the Krusty Krab diner, but Squidward is a lower level and holds the position of cashier. It must be said that this character hates his work and is constantly chirping, now and then plunging into reading magazines, sleeping, or simply doing other things at his workplace.
This is the whole Squidward - against the backdrop of the ever cheerful, cute and restless characters of the animated series, this six-fingered inhabitant of the seabed seems like a real alien. And this is natural - after all, his mood never rises, he is full of cynicism, sarcasm and anger towards the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom around him. The only person Squidward has a positive attitude towards is himself. Yes, this character is not without narcissism - in fact, he adores himself and is constantly trying to become famous so that the world knows about his genius. The path to this, as Squidward sincerely believes, lies through his artistic talent. In the animated series, you can see many times how the octopus plays the flute, or tries to take part in a singing competition, become an actor or a sculptor. Of course, because art is the right path for Squidward, and the fact that he does not succeed in this field does not bother him: there will still be. After all, he is a refined nature! In the animated series, by the way, you can sometimes see him immersed in an ordinary world full of ordinary things, such as Krabby Patties, and genuinely enjoys it - but still denies it to the public.
Another disadvantage in the character of Squidward is envy. His eternal enemy is fellow student Squillam, who has succeeded in life and is a rich, respected octopus in society. Squidward often tries to reach the level of his enemy and teach him a lesson, to show him that he is also not made with a finger, however, as a rule, Squid does not succeed and he once again becomes a target for jokes and ridicule.
In the animated series, you can meet the Squidward family, with whom our hero does not have the easiest relationship, which is not surprising - because he considers himself much higher and better than all these townsfolk.
You will undoubtedly be pleased with a few facts from the life of Squidward, which you might not have guessed:
- Squidward's trademark is his laugh, which was first produced by voice actor Roger Bumpess;
- Squidward ranks second after the main character of the animated series in terms of the frequency of appearance in the series - 278 out of 332;
- In almost every episode, Squidward tries to avoid walking with Sponge and Patrick - and in one he even hides from them in the refrigerator;
- Squidward's birthday is August 6, 1962;
- For all the series of the animated series, Squidward tried his hand at playing the clarinet, radio DJing, dancing, sculpting, drawing, and even appeared as a TV presenter;
- Squidward is the only character who has never had a romantic interest.
