+39 It's weird to think that Spongebob has to be at least 20 years old to be working, trying to get a driver's/boating license and own his own home, amirite?

he turned 27 a few days ago he was born July 14 1986 SpongeBob is pretty responsible in a lot of ways he has a job he does his best for it despite horrible pay he takes care of his pet he lives on his own pays his bills and he's kind too (not that //that// has to do with age just something I noticed) I think what makes him seem young is his innocence I wouldn't say that his annoying habits make him seem like a kid since plenty of adults have those habits

No he isn't, the episode with his driver's license doesn't mean much since that would mean he was 13 when he got his job, and first attempted to get his license. Plus he'd have to own a house before being thirteen since he probably didn't get his house the same day as 'Help Wanted'. He doesn't have a specific age.

my bad it seems like he could've gotten a job beforehand (b4 13) because he is a sponge after all sponges mature faster -nods-

I don't really find it that impressive that he owns his own home. Because it's a pineapple, he doesn't pay rent on it, and probably didn't even have to pay for it. I can't believe that I'm talking about the rules of living inside a fruit hehe

Sponges have longer life spans than people so he'd likely mature more slowly than a human

he's like a dishwasher sponge though he looks more like this http://www.wesellcoffee.com/media/YELLOW%20SPONGE.jpg and not much like this http://blueocean.org/wp-content/uploads/bright-yellow-tube-sponge-aplysina-fistularis3.jpg

He's a sea sponge alright. His design though is indeed kitchen sponge-esque.

I saw an episode where a human hand used him to clean a dish and then the toilet so I'd argue that he is kitchen sponge-esque because SpongeBob in real life (in and out of animation) is a household sponge

Yeah I remember him getting the suds. But Patrick was used for the same thing so that doesn't mean a whole lot. He's totally kitchen sponge-esque, but he **//is//** a sea sponge.

Patrick looks like a starfish in and out same thing with SpongeBob didn't some people drop him from their boat or something? and that's how he ended up in the sea if you go back to the suds episode going outside of animation Mr. SquarePants had the exact appearance of a household item but Patrick had the exact appearance of a starfish

Fun fact: starfish don't have brains so maybe that's why they made him (Patrick)... well the way he is
