Personality
SpongeBob was born on July 14, 1982. He is cheerful, good-natured and always happy to help anyone. He is kind to everyone and is determined to be friends with those around him. When it comes to doing a job SpongeBob completes it to the best of his ability, and gets extremely upset with himself if he fails to do something right. He is generally a happy-go-lucky character and is friendly to everyone. He is 30 years old which makes him a young adult but he and Patrick still show immaturity of young boys.

SpongeBob lives in a Pineapple House in the town of Bikini Bottom, with his pet snail Gary. Next-door to him is Squidward Tentacles, who lives in an Easter Island head house. SpongeBob considers him very close friend, although this isn't mutual. Next-door to Squidward is Patrick Star, SpongeBob's very best friend, who lives under a rock.

SpongeBob and Patrick have many hobbies. They both like Goofy Goober and spend a lot of time at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat. SpongeBob and Patrick are both very immature adults, as they enjoy activities that are generally favored by children. As a result, Squidward has a strong dislike for both of them, as he considers himself more sophisticated and mature. SpongeBob sees Squidward as one of his closest friends, despite the fact that Squidward obviously does not share the feeling. This means that Squidward usually bears the brunt of SpongeBob's characteristics and actions, and is particularly annoyed by SpongeBob's laugh. Another very close friend of SpongeBob's is Sandy Cheeks. They both share a love of Karate, and are often shown trying to better each other by performing various moves. Squidward actually likes SpongeBob in some episodes and SpongeBob is delighted.

SpongeBob is said to be an adult, but he has a very childlike manner he is not ashamed to enjoy things generally associated with younger children, such as cartoons and homemade cookies. He is not good at discerning sarcasm from sincerity, and, at times, is very literal-minded, which can lead to disaster for those around him. Despite these traits, his lightweight appearance, and his lack of physical strength, SpongeBob considers himself very mature, and has attempted – and failed – to prove his "manliness" on many occasions.

SpongeBob has a career as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab restaurant. In spite of his meager salary (he once claimed that he is forced to pay his own boss) and the restaurant's poor working conditions, he is very proud of his trade. He is highly skilled at his job, and has won the Employee of the Month award hundreds of times. SpongeBob is always determined to please his boss, Eugene H. Krabs, who sometimes grows weary of SpongeBob's continuous enthusiasm. However, he is favored by Mr Krabs, because he is hard-working, and very good at his job guaranteeing Mr Krabs' high income.

A running gag in the series is that SpongeBob is incapable of getting his driving license. He has attended Mrs. Puff's boating school for many years, and each year manages to fail his driving test. SpongeBob attributes this to nervousness behind the wheel; despite knowing how to drive, he loses his composure when driving, often ending in a car accident.

It is also revealed in the episodes Big Pink Loser and New Student Starfish that SpongeBob is a very well behaved person and in the episode Big Pink Loser, he has won hundreds awards for being excellent in excellence. In the episode New Student Starfish, SpongeBob has 74 good noodles stars. He also uses Sponge Gloss in the episode Picture Day, which looks like a girly bottle of lip-gloss. He once even became "normal" in the episode Not Normal by watching a documentation explaining who to be normal.

As revealed in Party Pooper Pants, his Kindergarten teacher was Miss Shell.

Patrick Star
SpongeBob is Patrick best, best, best, best, best friend as shown in some episodes. He is a kind-hearted, sincere sea star to him and loves to annoy Squidward.

Squidward Tentacles
SpongeBob annoys Squidward all the time and loves to come over. Sometimes, Squidward likes SpongeBob in, Not Normal, Mind The Gap etc.

Mr. Krabs
Mr. Krabs is SpongeBob's boss and he never messes up while doing tasks.In some episodes, Mr. Krabs acts like a father figure to SpongeBob and shows that he genuinely cares about him, showing concern for him and they helped each other out a few times.

Sandy Cheeks
SpongeBob and Sandy are good friends. Series creator Stephen Hillenburg stated that he created Sandy as "a strong female character that could be a friend to SpongeBob but not a love interest."

Plankton
SpongeBob and Plankton have a love-hate relationship. When SpongeBob first met Plankton, he tries to befriend him, but as Plankton told him that he wants a Krabby Patty (and by extent, the formula) for his birthday, SpongeBob refuses. From that point on, whenever Plankton tries to steal the formula or a Krabby Patty, most of the time, SpongeBob tries to stop him. However, despite this, they have been friends a few times.

Gary
It is suggested in "Have You Seen This Snail?" and "Treats!" that SpongeBob has had Gary ever since the former was a little boy, as it was also revealed that he was adopted. SpongeBob is revealed to have bought him at the animal shelter in "Plankton's Pet." However, a flashback shown in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run showcase that SpongeBob first met Gary at Camp Coral when he was 10-year-old boy. SpongeBob then later adopted Gary when he got older. As seen in "Ugh", their ancestors were shown to have a similar relationship.

Gary often serves as an advice-giver to SpongeBob when no one else in Bikini Bottom is willing to help him and the latter often takes said advice despite it only being given in meows. However, SpongeBob occasionally takes advantage of him or forces him into certain situations despite Gary's objections.
