Spongebob Squarepants is hailed as one of the best Nicktoons ever made, and there are so many reasons why: the music, the animation, the absurd plots, etc. Above all, though, it has to be that the citizens of Bikini Bottom include some of the most unique and hilarious characters in animated history. Although most of the attention goes to the main roles like SpongeBob , Patrick , and Sandy , there are some others who should be allotted a greater share of praise than they've been given.

This fish has got some nerve and the power to pass through the television screen to boot. "We interrupt your laughter at other people's expense" is a particularly omniscient moment in his career, but he doesn't even need any jokes to make the audience laugh.
