![]() Big, Thin, Short Trio: The Thin to Patrick or Mr.An often overlooked example in the episode above, he unhesitatingly saves SpongeBob from getting hit by a truck.In "Pizza Delivery", he violently KO's a customer with a pizza because said customer made SpongeBob cry.Krabs to humiliate SpongeBob into never going near the hooks again. A really twisted example from the episode "Hooky".A more subtle example: in "Graveyard Shift", when it appears that he and SpongeBob are about to be murdered by the "Hash-Slinging Slasher", Squidward's first instinct is to pick up SpongeBob and hug him close, as if making some futile attempt to protect him.Big Brother Instinct: He acts protective toward SpongeBob occasionally, in episodes like "Dying for Pie" and "Christmas Who?".Beautiful Dreamer: According to SpongeBob and Patrick (in the comic "Dear Diary" in Patrick's case), he has an appealing design.Barefoot Cartoon Animal: He's an octopus who's one of the few characters with prominent feet (besides SpongeBob and Sandy) but rarely wears any kind of footwear.Bald of Evil: During his absolute meanest moments, he certainly qualifies as this.The Bad Guy Wins: Played With in "Little Yellow Book" he does face the punishment of having tomatoes thrown at him by the townspeople while being held captive by the law enforcement, but he doesn't care because he thought it was totally Worth It reading SpongeBob's personal diary and making him cry.His status as this trope reaches an all-time high at the end of "Sportz?", where he is cooked into calamari for trying to kill SpongeBob and Patrick with an injury-filled sports game he made up. Asshole Victim: Depending on the Writer - as sometimes he's a miserable Cosmic Plaything who's just minding his own business - if Squidward meets his own end or suffers a horrific punishment, he usually deserves it for being an unreasonable dick to everyone. ![]() Attention Whore: When he's not keeping to himself, he's going around demanding people's attention by displaying interpretive dancing or playing his clarinet really loudly.Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In "Giant Squidward", Squidward is enlarged in height as a result of SpongeBob and Patrick's overuse of a growth spray, eventually leading him to reluctantly become a helpful Gentle Giant to the rest of the town before getting fed up with their exploitation.Apathetic Clerk: He loathes his cashier job at the Krusty Krab and often treats the customers with contempt.Sometimes he's supposed to be an antagonist just because he hates the main character, even if it's SpongeBob who keeps bothering him all the time (unintentionally). Anti-Villain: Depending on the Writer.He's rather cranky, sarcastic, and hates most people around him, but his Pet the Dog moments show that he's a good person deep down. He claims that the sea bear might just not like him, to which Patrick suggests he be somebody else. The first few times he'd done inadvertently to set it off, but the last time SpongeBob, who is quite knowledgeable about them, states he doesn't know why it attacked him. In "The Camping Episode", he's repeatedly and savagely attacked by a sea bear. SpongeBob even implies in "The Thing" that Gary actually attacks him. It is averted in "Reef Blower", where he turns purple above (well, without) water, but all other times he's been above water, he's still appears to be the same shade of blue. Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: There's no real reason why he's actually blue, since although some squids and octopi look blue, but that's largely because of water tint.All of the Other Reindeer: Hated, avoided, mistreated, and sometimes even assaulted by people in Bikini Bottom, granted, many times because he started it, but other times simply because they feel gravitated to.In the end, he reveals the trick to SpongeBob and laughs over it, finding out the hard way that laugh boxes are real. Accidental Truth: In "Funny Pants", after getting annoyed by SpongeBob's non-stop laughing to a joke, Squidward tells him that if he doesn't give it a break, he'll blow out his "laugh box" and never be able to laugh again.It seems even Squidward's own family looks down on the poor guy. ![]()
