SpongeBob is a sea sponge who lives with his pet snail, Gary, in a two-bedroom pineapple in the town of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob's dream in life is to be the ocean's ultimate fry cook, and thanks to his job flipping Krabby Patties at the Krusty Krab, he lives that dream every day. SpongeBob is as optimistic and earnest as a sea-dwelling sponge gets, but he can't seem to avoid getting himself, and usually everyone else around him, into trouble. SpongeBob's hobbies include blowing bubbles, catching (and releasing) jellyfish with his best friend, Patrick, and practising karate.
