Let’s be honest here: we’ve all watched more SpongeBob, even now, than we would like to admit. SpongeBob’s happy-go-lucky attitude in stark contrast with Squidward’s hatred of anyone who lives in a pineapple under the sea made us laugh back then, and still puts a smile on our faces to this day. Throw in a brainless sea star who literally lives under a rock, a money-hungry crab who will do anything for a buck, and an evil little sea plankton who is married to a computer, and you’ve set yourself up for some entertainment. Although each character has a special place in any devoted SpongeBob viewer’s heart, as we have grown older, many of us have noticed more and more similarities between our favorite squid and ourselves. Don’t believe me? See how many of these classic Squidward moments you can relate to on a spiritual level.
