Squidward Tentacles

Squidward Tentacles

Squidward Johannsen Tentacles is a fictional character in the animated cartoon television show SpongeBob SquarePants. He is an Octopus (not a Squid) but has only 6 tentacles (which has been suggested as a cause for his attitude and is easier to animate): he uses two of them as arms and the other four as legs. He is believed to be born on October 23, 1975

Squidward lives in between SpongeBob and Patrick in a Easter Island head. He wants peace and quiet, but SpongeBob and Patrick make it hard. He works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant. SpongeBob and Patrick always encourage Squidward to participate in their games, but this only annoys him. In particular, SpongeBob and Patrick want him to go jellyfishing with them. While seemingly the eternal pessimist, he tries to have fun, but does not ever get the hang of it.

An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretative dance, sculpture, and playing the clarinet, but shows no significant talent for any of them. He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions, but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob.

He finds SpongeBob annoying, although he secretly likes SpongeBob, but is afraid to show it. When under extreme pressure, he has admitted to liking SpongeBob. Squidward is really a good guy with a good heart, despite his gruff exterior.
