“Friendship is forever” is a SpongeBob mantra, and the series and movies simply wouldn’t be the same without the comradery on display. SpongeBob prides himself on being an amazing friend, and that love is returned by all the figures in his life — despite how hard they may try to fight it (ahem, Squidward). Here are some of the iconic friendships in "SpongeBob" that spark undeniable joy and deliver some major laughs.

EXPLORE THE FRIENDSHIPS
SpongeBob and Patrick’s friendship is as deep as the ocean they both live in. They have been friends since they were born, and their connection goes back generations, with a few episodes in the series showing that even their ancestors hung out together. Remember the time they worked together to get their beloved TV characters Mermaid and Barnacle Boy out of retirement? Or the mini golf course they created in SpongeBob’s house, which so many people wish they could have in their homes right now? In "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run," the two are at it again, going on a quest to find Gary and save the day, as usual. Where their friendship will take them next is anyone’s guess, but it will definitely be an amazing adventure.

Squidward is one of the most beloved characters in the SpongeBob universe, but he’s definitely prone to grumpiness and just being all-around over it. He’s never particularly thrilled about hanging out with SpongeBob or Patrick, but he does love music and takes his clarinet playing seriously — naming his beloved musical instrument Clarey. Squidward has even gone as far as to impersonate his fellow clarinet-loving octopus Squilliam in order to have his turn in the spotlight as a music teacher, though the trick was short-lived. His musical skills are still a work in progress — even garnering major noise complaints in Bikini Bottom — but the love Squidward has for Clarey will not be denied.
2. Squidward and Clarey
Though many restaurant owners want to run a successful business, Mr. Krabs has a much higher and more intense desire to have a prosperous business. In short: He’s obsessed with money. As the owner of the Krusty Krab, all eyes are on the prize for him, and that prize is more and more wealth. “The money is always right” is one of his most iconic lines, and he goes to great and absurd lengths to hold on to his coins, including remembering the price of everything he buys and jumping in to become Krusty Krab’s very own fry cook to cut back on expenses. Mr. Krabs does fall in love with Mrs. Puff and her kindness for a moment, but no relationship tops the one he has with cash.
3. Mr. Krabs and money
If a dog is a man’s best friend, then a sea snail is the BFF of the sea sponge. SpongeBob and Gary have an unbreakable bond that goes way past guardian and pet. So much so that "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run" revolves around their friendship, starting with the day SpongeBob and Gary meet when they are both just a young sponge and snail. A big adventure ensues as it always does with this dynamic duo. Their friendship is made to last, surviving any fun and frenzy that comes their way.

Though not every “SpongeBob SquarePants” character is based on a being that truly lives under the sea, so many others are based on real organisms. The show’s creator was a former teacher of marine science, which explains it all. So a trip to the nearby aquarium can really drum up excitement before movie night.
2. Take a safe aquarium trip to get to know the real animals behind the movie
Dressing up is one of the best ways to make anything fun. So, challenge your family to dress like their favorite "SpongeBob SquarePants" character. The costumes don’t need to be fancy: Just using existing clothes and leaning into makeup and face paint can help you transform.
3. Make costumes mandatory
No movie theater? No problem! Create a ticket design contest where everyone puts their own spin on how the most creative "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run" ticket would look. The most artistic version will win a prize of your choice.
4. Create DIY tickets
You don’t need a lot of space to pull off an incredible scavenger hunt. All you need is a list of items that participants can find at home and a points system to determine the winners. Make it relevant for movie night by making the scavenger hunt items related to the ocean.
5. Stage an at-home SpongeBob scavenger hunt
After a big day of activities, you and your family will absolutely be in need of rest. But even the relaxation period can be fun, as you can design a pillow fort that will make kicking back much more comfortable. It will be a great time to talk about everyone’s feelings about the movie.

Heat oil in skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
Mix salt, pepper, garlic and Poseidon Powder into the ground beef until thoroughly incorporated.
Separate the ground beef into four balls.

Increase heat to medium high and cook burgers for five minutes on each side.
Two minutes before the patties are done, lay cheese slices on top of each patty and allow the cheese to melt.
When they’re finished, remove patties from the skillet.
In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
