SpongeBob SquarePants/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Flanderization]]: Was initially a quirky but rather fair natured boss character, [[Weaksauce Weakness|just he liked money ''a bit'' too much]]. And even then his greed was often played for laughs, and he had redeeming qualities, such as genuine care for his daughter Pearl, and for SpongeBob. Now at times he's just a total jerk to anything without a currency value. There's still some episodes that show him as a good guy though.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: One could easily argue that his greed stems from his bad memories of living in poverty until striking it big.

* [[I Fight for the Strongest Side]]: In "Neptune's Spatula", he gives a little pep talk to SpongeBob... before betting his money on King Neptune.

* [[Jerkass]]: More and more so each season. Arguably the best example in the show.

* '''''[[Money Fetish]]''''': His defining character trait. He frequently [[Up to Eleven|takes this trope]] [[Exaggerated Trope|to ridiculous levels]], to the point of taking money-baths, getting into a fight with Squidward over a dime, stalking Spongebob for a penny, and almost losing Spongebob forever in exchange for some pocket change (sixty-two cents to be exact).

* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: When the show started out, he was a decent guy, but a bit greedy.

* [[Pointy-Haired Boss]]

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: As a baby.
