Answer
Lol in a way 1. Greed (Mr. Krabs) - this is by far the most obvious comparison that can be made. The avarice of Eugene Krabs is made painfully clear throughout the series. He is constantly thinking of ways to turn a profit, even if it involves taking advantage of his friends or putting them in harmful situations! In one episode, he sings a song called âIf I Could Talk to Moneyâ...and thereâs even a wiki page devoted to compiling all of his greedy plans!

2. Envy (Plankton) - another no brainer. With all of Krabsâ wealth and good fortune, there has been an equal amount of hard luck and failure for his archrival, Sheldon Plankton. Plankton owns a struggling restaurant called âThe Chum Bucketâ and is consumed with the desire to achieve the success of his adversary. His lifeâs goal is to steal the Krabby Patty formula from his Krabs and drive his primary competitor out of business.

3. Sloth (Patrick) - the guy lives under a rock for crying out loud! If that isnât enough to convince you, in the episode âBig Pink Loserâ Patrick is given an award for âdoing absolutely nothing longer than anyone elseâ. He then proceeds go back under his rock to protect his title.

4. Pride (Sandy) - the fact that Sandy Cheeks is from Texas alone should almost suffice for this one. She is a squirrel that is very proud of her heritage, so much so that in one episode she nearly moved back home! Sandy also takes a great deal of satisfaction in being the only land critter living down in Bikini Bottom among all the fishy folk. Though generally a good-natured individual, Sandy is quick to spout off about the greatness of the Lone Star state or to show off her athleticism in a karate match or a weightlifting contest.

5. Wrath (Squidward) - Squidward Tentacles has no qualms about expressing his negative outlook on life, whether it be by describing how much he hates his job at the Krusty Krab or through outward disdain for his two obnoxious neighbors. He is portrayed as a general failure who refuses to acknowledge his own personal flaws. This constant self-denial manifests itself in a sarcastic sense of humor and resentment toward the society that doesnât âappreciateâ his creativity and clarinet...erm...âskillsâ.

6. Gluttony (Gary) - now this oneâs a bit trickier. Those who have watched a great deal of the series will have noticed a number of jokes about Spongebob having to remember to feed his pet snail. To be honest, Gary doesnât do a whole lot besides eating and meowing, and the meowing is often due to the fact that he is hungry. Once when Spongebob hadnât fed his pet, Gary is shown eating parts of their couch! In another episode, Gary runs away from home because Spongebob forgot to feed him for a while. Another time when Spongebob had amnesia, Gary ate a yearâs supply of snail food and became morbidly obese! This proves beyond a doubt that when left to his own devices, Gary would rather do nothing but eat.

7. Lust (Spongebob) - our final analogy is probably the least apparent because we typically think of âlustâ in a sexual sense. However, the alternative definition for lust is simply âa passionate desire for somethingâ. In this sense of the word, it cannot be denied that our absorbent yellow friend is an extremely lustful creature. Spongebob has a lust for life that is incomparable to most other cartoon characters - he yearns for the affections of both friend and foe alike, is eager to please, and will often stop at nothing to complete a task.

Are the seven main characters of Spongebob based off the seven deadly sins?

Well, the other day I was reading MLIA and I came across a post that said that the characters of my favorite childhood show, Spongebob Squarepants, were based off the seven deadly sins. Of course, I can't trust everything I hear on MyLifeIsAverage, but is this true?


Answer
Wrath - Squidward
Envy - Plankton
Greed - Mr. Crabs
Gluttony - Garry
Pride - Sandy
Sloth - Patrick
Lust - Spongebob (Dante's definition of lust was "excessive love of others. Which is a characteristic of Spongebob. He loves Squidward so much that he doesn't care what Squidward says towards him.)
