'Spongebob' - Characters Trivia Questions

1. When asked why Pearl is a whale, when her father in Mr Krabs is a crab, what did show creator Stephen Hillenburg say?

From Quiz
Bikini Bottom Banter - Pearl

Answer: He wanted every main character to be a different animal

Pearl is considered by Hillenburg to be one of the show's ten main characters. Simply put, Hillenburg wanted each main character to be a different animal. That does satisfy the "out of character" explanation for why Pearl is a whale, while her father is a totally different species. However, we may never truly know why Mr Krabs is Pearl's father. Was she adopted? Did Mr Krabs buy her? We may never know.

2. One of the many things Squilliam enjoys lording over Squidward is his unibrow, of all things. What two words does Squilliam use to describe his unibrow?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Squilliam Fancyson

Answer: Big and valuable

In "Band Geeks," Squilliam utters this line about his unibrow. This is also how the police are able to distinguish him from Squidward in this episode.

3. The Flying Dutchman can manifest in many different forms, but his base form is pretty simplistic. What appearance does the ghostly man usually take on?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - The Flying Dutchman

Answer: A pirate

The Flying Dutchman is a green, transparent man with a scraggly beard, donning a tattered pirate hat. Also taking on a spectral form is his old ship from long, long ago when he was alive and well as a pirate.

4. What is the first episode Man Ray appears in?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Man Ray & Dirty Bubble

Answer: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III

One of the most iconic episodes in show history, yielding the immortal "Man Ray and Patrick Star" meme, is Man Ray's debut. Here, he is shown cryogenically frozen inside a large block of frozen tartar sauce. He is released by SpongeBob and Patrick by accident, and enters the city to resume his ways of evil.

5. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy tried to hide their real names from the general public. However, pesky sleuth work has unveiled their true identities. What are the first names of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, respectively?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy

Answer: Ernie and Tim

Named after their late voice actors Ernie Borgnine and Tim Conway, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are just about never actually addressed by their real names in the show.

6. How far away from the Krusty Krab does Patrick live?

From Quiz A Sea Star for All Seasons

Answer: 400 yards

In "Krusty Towers", after Mr. Krabs turns the Krusty Krab into a hotel, Patrick goes in and attempts to order a Krabby Patty. Squidward then informs him, "This is a hotel now. If you want a Krabby Patty, you'll have to get a room and order room service." Patrick responds, "Okay, one Krabby Patty and one room with cheese. Oh! And can I get cheese on the Krabby Patty, too?" "Patrick, you only live 400 yards away! Why do you want to check into a hotel?" "Sometimes I just need to get away from it all."

7. In what episode did Mr. Krabs say, "What is today but yesterday's tomorrow"?

From Quiz Mr. Krabs Kwiz

Answer: "Imitation Krabs"

Possibly one of his most famous quotes is his "...smelly smell that smells smelly" quote from the first episode he ever appeared in, "Help Wanted".

8. How many spots does Squidward have on his forehead?

From Quiz All About: Squidward

Answer: Eight

There are four on the left and four on the right. These are clearly marked since he is bald.

9. As a computer, Karen has had a very unusual time "growing up" or so to say. She apparently was "born" as a different device. What was Karen born as?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Karen

Answer: A calculator

This is revealed in "Goo Goo Gas," where Karen is shown as a calculator as she flashes back to her birth, as Plankton concocts a plan to turn his enemies into babies.

10. Show creator Stephen Hillenburg often referred to Mrs Puff as "the character who stopped the show from being greenlit." Why is this?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mrs Puff

Answer: The existence of Mrs Puff was why Nickelodeon accepted the whole show

Nickelodeon originally shot down the concept of the show itself, demanding that Hillenburg make SpongeBob into a school-aged child who went to school in order to allow the show on their channel. Hillenburg was actually going to walk away from Nickelodeon as a whole, but later used Mrs Puff as a measure of compromise. Hillenurg's compromise was that SpongeBob would be an adult who went to school. Without Mrs Puff, this option would not have been on the table.

11. Mr Krabs has high hopes for Pearl's future. What does Mr Krabs want Pearl to do when she grows up?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Pearl

Answer: Inherit ownership of the Krusty Krab

In "Bossy Boots," Mr Krabs jumps the gun a bit and decides to name Pearl a manager, hoping to eventually ease her in to ownership. Pearl ends up being a horrible manager, but it is here where Mr Krabs' long term ambitions with Pearl are revealed. These ambitions do seem to be mutual, so Mr Krabs isn't necessarily forcing Pearl into this.

12. Even in un-death, The Flying Dutchman has one job which proves immensely important. He is in charge of a realm referred to as Davy Jones' Locker. What is Davy Jones' Locker?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - The Flying Dutchman

Answer: Bikini Bottom version of Hell

Davy Jones' Locker is some type of storage unit for the souls that The Flying Dutchman has damned to Hell. In "Born Again Krabs," The Flying Dutchman threatens Mr Krabs with damnation if he doesn't change his overtly greedy ways, and this is where we learn what Davy Jones' Locker is.

13. Fellow evil-doer Dirty Bubble has also had an extensive history of harassing Bikini Bottom. Which episode does Dirty Bubble first appear in?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Man Ray & Dirty Bubble

Answer: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II

Dirty Bubble actually defeats Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy here, but the duo are saved by SpongeBob unintentionally, as SpongeBob accidentally pops Dirty Bubble with a pencil as he asked for an autograph.

14. Both Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were actually retired before SpongeBob and Patrick convinced them to come out of retirement. What was the name of the retirement home they live in?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy

Answer: Shady Shoals

Shady Shoals is a generic retirement home for the elderly of Bikini Bottom. It lies just above the Mermalair, accessible to the superhero duo even from their room.

15. What does Mermaid Man call Squidward in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV" after Squidward asks him for the five dollars at the register?

From Quiz Mermaid Man, in Honor of Ernest Borgnine

Answer: Bucky

"You got it, Bucky!" Ernest Borgnine, in an interview, has stated that a little bunch of Girl Scouts were introduced to him. He asked them, "How many of you have seen my pictures?" They said nothing, zilch. Suddenly he had a brainstorm said, "How many of you know 'SpongeBob'"? They all exclaimed, "Yes!" Then he said he he happens to play Mermaid Man. That was all it took! They came around and took pictures of him. They couldn't get enough of him! He even did his "EVIL!" routine. His voice cracked when he did it, and for the rest of the episodes that he voiced as that character while alive, he said it that way.

16. What lawyer originally planned to represent Mr. Krabs in the case in "Krabs vs Plankton"?

From Quiz Mr. Krabs Kwiz

Answer: Richard A. Bottomfeeder

Richard A. Bottomfeeder planned to represent Mr. Krabs in his defense against Plankton. The best laid plans of mice and men gang, however. When he became unable to do so after slipping on his client's wet floor, SpongeBob took over as his SpongeBob LawyerPants persona.

17. What is the magazine that Squidward subscribes to?

From Quiz All About: Squidward

Answer: Fancy Living Digest

This magazine appears in "Chocolate With Nuts" and "Missing Identity". The magazine is all about being rich and famous.

18. In "Walking the Plankton," Karen expresses how she has always wanted to go on a honeymoon with Plankton. During this, she states the reason this has never happened. What is this reason?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Karen

Answer: Plankton is more interested in the Krabby Patty Formula

Simply put, Plankton's obsession with acquiring the formula flushes out his desire at spending actual quality time with Karen. This has unfortunately created a rift between the two in numerous episodes.

19. The creation of Mrs Puff was fused by Stephen Hillenburg's personal experiences. What specific experience of Hillenburg's did he inject into making Mrs Puff?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mrs Puff

Answer: His experience as a marine science teacher

Hillenburg began his adult life in a career of marine science teaching. It was with this background that he actually had the sufficient background to make the show as it is. As Mrs Puff is a teacher, Hillenburg injected his own experiences as a teacher into making Mrs Puff's character.

20. Of course, as Mr Krabs has been so busy with the Krusty Krab, he has often had to hire a babysitter for Pearl who she has grown close with. Who has Krabs hired to babysit Pearl?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Pearl

Answer: Squidward

Doing this deed earned Squidward the honorary nickname of "Uncle Squiddy." Of course, he is not actually Pearl's uncle, but this deed served to help Squidward become a close friend to both Pearl and Mr Krabs, which is never a bad thing.

21. In "Band Geeks," Squidward actually manages to defeat Squilliam! What happens to Squilliam as a result?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Squilliam Fancyson

Answer: He suffers a heart attack

Squilliam is in such utter shock over how successful Squidward's band is, that the shock causes him to have a heart attack. He ends up needing to be removed from the Bubble Bowl on a stretcher as a result.

22. In his first episode, "Scaredy Pants," The Flying Dutchman threatens to steal the souls of everyone in Bikini Bottom after SpongeBob angers him. What did SpongeBob do?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - The Flying Dutchman

Answer: Poorly dress up as The Flying Dutchman

For Halloween, SpongeBob dresses up as The Flying Dutchman. The costume is extremely poor, as it is just SpongeBob tossing a mattress sheet over himself and making poor attempts at scaring various citizens of the city. Doing this enough times attracts the attention of the real Flying Dutchman, who appears at the Krusty Krab, gently tells SpongeBob that his costume is a joke, then issues this threat should SpongeBob continue poorly impersonating him.

23. Every superhero needs a hideout, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are no exception. Used as a parody of Batman's Batcave, what is the name of the duo's hideout?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy

Answer: Mermalair

The Mermalair, according to the show's creator Stephen Hillenburg, was meant to be a parody of the Batcave. It has a super computer along with a wide arsenal of weapons and other gadgets, is based underground and within a cave just like the Batcave.

24. Can you complete the following Mermaid Man quote? "I wanna eat my ________!"

From Quiz Mermaid Man, in Honor of Ernest Borgnine

Answer: meatloaf

"I wanna eat my meatloaf! And if you don't get out of here, then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife!" Stephen Hillenburg originally didn't care who voiced Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, but Nickelodeon wanted celebrity voices. Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway played on "McHale's Navy" from 1962-66, and were a great duo, so they were picked. "McHale's Navy" was set in the Pacific Theater during World War II, and starred the wonderful, prolific actor I dedicated my quiz to as Lt. Commander Quinton McHale.

25. From "Jailbreak!", what is Mr. Krabs' successful plan to stop using his gang of escaped ex-cons from stealing the Krabby Patty Secret Formula?

From Quiz Krabs Kwiz III

Answer: Hiding the entire Bikini Bottom Police Force in his safe

In "Jailbreak", Plankton is in prison (probably) for trying to steal the formula. He makes friends with the other inmates who respect him for villainy, including a crocodile and a whale that looks like Pearl. But wait, wasn't Plankton deathly afraid of whales in "One Coarse Meal"? It is revealed that chum is used to commit many crimes in Bikini Bottom. A bomb covered in chum is used by Plankton and the other inmates to escape from prison. Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob be a guard at the prison to spy on Plankton, and so he overhears of his plans to escape and warns Mr. Krabs. With his gang of convicts, Plankton at last is seemingly unstoppable. He gives them their freedom, and in exchange, they help him attempt to steal the formula. After ransacking the Krusty Krab, the convicts cannot find the formula until they check the safe. But Mr. Krabs has an ace up his sleeve. His plan is surprisingly simple: hiding the entire BBPD in his safe. Plankton is foiled again.

26. What is the missing word from the following dialogue from "Big Pink Loser"? Man on the phone: "Is this the Krusty Krab?" Patrick: "No, this is _______."

From Quiz A Sea Star for All Seasons

Answer: Patrick

When SpongeBob overheard what happened, he told Patrick, "Uh, Patrick, that's the name of the restaurant.", much to Patrick's self-disgust. Patrick failed miserably at everything he attempted to do at his job at the Krusty Krab, until SpongeBob showed him how to open a pickle jar.

27. What is Mr. Krabs' house shaped like?

From Quiz Mr. Krabs Kwiz

Answer: an anchor

The address to his humble abode is 3541 Anchor Way. The windows to his anchor house are identical to the round windows one would see on a ship. His windows are portholes just like one would see on a ship. Mr. Krabs was always known to sleep in a hammock until "The Lost Mattress" aired. In that episode, he slept in a bed and kept his entire bankroll under a lumpy mattress.

28. What is Squidward's house?

From Quiz All About: Squidward

Answer: Easter Island Head

Patrick lives in a rock and Spongebob lives in a pineapple. His house is in between SpongeBob's house and Patrick's house.

29. Despite being a computer, Karen acts and seems otherwise rather humane. However, she is missing one crucial mundane trait found in other sentient residents of Bikini Bottom. What is Karen lacking?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Karen

Answer: A heart

In "Friend or Foe," it is revealed that Karen does not actually have a heart. In spite of this, Karen is regularly able to show emotions like anyone else would. Perhaps her advanced intelligence is able to overcome this deficiency.

30. Mrs Puff is unfortunately a widow. What happened to Mr Puff?

From Quiz Bikini Bottom Banter - Mrs Puff

Answer: Fishermen captured him and turned him into a novelty lamp cover

In "Krusty Love," this information is revealed when Mr Krabs asks SpongeBob what happened. It is never revealed how exactly SpongeBob learned this.
