SpongeBob catchphrases

SpongeBob SquarePants is a yellow anthropomorphic sea sponge that wears brown shorts, a white collared shirt, and a red tie most of the time. He lives in a pineapple house and works as a fry chef at the Krusty Krab fast-food restaurant. He diligently attends Mrs. Puff’s Boating School but never fails; he tries his hardest on the exams throughout the series but remains an accidentally irresponsible boat driver. He is unfailingly upbeat and enthusiastic about his work and his pals. SpongeBob enjoys catching jellyfish, blowing bubbles, playing with his best pal Patrick, and annoying his neighbor Squidward accidentally. He makes his first appearance in “Help Wanted.”
