SpongeBob SquarePants

From 4chan Tournaments Wiki


SpongeBob SquarePants is the titular protagonist of the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is an optimistic sea sponge (despite looking more akin to a kitchen sponge) who enjoys working as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, jellyfishing, and other underwater activities. His series would go on to be one of the most successful American cartoons of all-time and the face of the Nickelodeon network. Despite his general popularity, he would only have a single bout on Mr. /co/lympus in its first four years, before coming back with surprising momentum starting in 2022.

Tournament History[edit]

SpongeBob's first bout was in 2019, where he scored an impressive seed of #25. He had a landslide win against Pops from Regular Show in the first round and a more narrow victory against Kermit the following round. His run came to a definitive end against the ever-popular Eustace Bagge, who went on to narrowly lose against Hank Hill afterwards.

After missing both 2020 and 2021 due to the three per series rule, SpongeBob would finally return to the tournament in Mr. /co/lympus 2022. Thanks in part to an enthusiastic campaign, he performed far better throughout this tournament. Despite his success, he would end up suffering a surprisingly massive loss against fellow SpongeBob character Squidward in round four, narrowly keeping him out of the Elite Eight. Said round was hyped up by a lot of anons, though ended up being more quiet than expected.

Coming off his prior defeat, there was already some interest in SpongeBob's follow-up run in Mr. /co/lympus 2023 even prior to the tournament's formal start. He ended up gaining vocal support from the tournament's outset, which aided him in propelling forward once again to the fourth round. Despite similarly strong vocal support on the end of Dr. Robotnik, SpongeBob would finally end up with his first Elite Eight appearance. His run would finally end against the year's runner-up and fellow Nicktoon Zim, with him being granted sixth place overall.

Due to the Elite Eight rule, SpongeBob will next be eligible to complete in Mr. /co/lympus 2025.
