Description[]
He is a crudely drawn caricature of SpongeBob that comes to life. He lacks many of SpongeBob's specific details, such as SpongeBob's belt, socks, shoes, holes (replaced by black specks), and the squiggly-outline SpongeBob has.
Role in series[]
"Frankendoodle"[]
Because he was created using a magic pencil, DoodleBob came to life.
SpongeBob intended to use him to play a harmless prank on Squidward, only for DoodleBob to start beating him up, swipe the magic pencil, and run away crazily, screaming gibberish. SpongeBob and Patrick chase him to where he had taken residence in a crudely drawn version of SpongeBob's house. When they corner him, SpongeBob erases DoodleBob with the magic pencil. However, unknown to SpongeBob and Patrick, SpongeBob misses one of DoodleBob's arms.
The arm infiltrates SpongeBob's house that night and then uses the magic pencil to restore himself before attacking SpongeBob. During a chase, he erases a portion of SpongeBob and his house.
As DoodleBob corners SpongeBob, he erases a portion of him and taunts him, provoking SpongeBob. SpongeBob and DoodleBob then struggle with the pencil and cause it to break into halves. SpongeBob restores himself and DoodleBob sharpens his piece of the pencil. DoodleBob corners SpongeBob once more, but when he is about to capture SpongeBob and literally erase him from existence, he gets stuck on a piece of paper. SpongeBob realizes this and then captures him in an empty book. The page he is trapped in soon sparkles and he develops a smile.
The next morning, Patrick comes to SpongeBob's house and asks what was making all the noise last night and sees DoodleBob framed on the wall. SpongeBob tells him what happened and says that DoodleBob was not evil but rather a "two-dimensional creature lost in [their] three-dimensional aquatic world, longing for a purpose." Patrick looks at the wrong picture and says that he still looks creepy.
"Doodle Dimension"[]
When SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally cause Sandy's portal machine to warp them to a blank white dimension, the duo discovers everything they draw with the magic pencil comes to life, and have fun with it until Patrick draws a doodle of SpongeBob, which is revealed to be DoodleBob. He terrorizes them once again and he grabs the magic pencil. When SpongeBob draws doodles of Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Gary, he turns SpongeBob's doodles against him and Patrick by drawing angry eyebrows and mustaches on them.
DoodleBob later kidnaps Patrick and ties him to the flagpole of a doodle castle. SpongeBob attempts to charge into the castle but is attacked by miniature DoodleBobs. SpongeBob and Patrick draw a balloon and attempt to float away, but DoodleBob grabs it. The two manage to cut the string, with DoodleBob floating into the void of the blank dimension with his miniature clones.
In this appearance he lacks his thick outlines.
"Bottle Burglars"[]
DoodleBob is in the bottom-left of the image.
He makes a cameo as a drawing under Mr. Krabs' table.
"The Nitwitting"[]
He makes a cameo as a drawing on a pole.
"Captain Pipsqueak"[]
He cameos as one of the many auditionees to join E.V.I.L., running around in circles and waving around his pencil and some sheets of paper.
In this appearance he lacks multiple things, most notably that when he opens his mouth, it's formed like a circle, while in his other physical appearances, it's formed like an oval. In this appearance DoodleBob looks off-model anyway.
"Squidiot Box"[]
After clearing his mind, Squidward winds up in the Doodle Dimension. Patrick tells him to watch out for DoodleBob, whom Squidward is unfamiliar with, so SpongeBob draws DoodleBob on a piece of paper and slips it into the imagination box. DoodleBob comes to life from the paper and attacks Squidward. Squidward defeats him by spraying ink in his face and then drawing his own escape door, escaping and closing it before DoodleBob can chase him through.
"Curse of the WereDoodle"[]
DoodleBob bites SpongeBob, transforming him into a "WereDoodle."

Trivia[]

- Even though DoodleBob speaks total gibberish most of the time, at one point he is heard speaking English in "Frankendoodle" when he says, "You doodle! Me SpongeBob!"
- When DoodleBob grabs Squidward and beats him up, SpongeBob briefly calls him DoodleBoy.
- SpongeBob himself was originally going to be named SpongeBoy.
- A fangame was made after DoodleBob named DoodleBob and the Magic Pencil where DoodleBob is the hero and has to stop Plankton and his evil schemes.
- An error was made in the game Nicktoons Unite! It was originally thought Dee Bradley Baker was DoodleBob's voice actor for the game and was just uncredited for it, but it's actually Paul Tibbitt's voice clips reused from the episode "Frankendoodle."
- On the official @NickRewind channel, DoodleBob has gotten a few of his own mini parody animations. In these animations, DoodleBob takes over famous SpongeBob episodes ("Rock Bottom," "The Camping Episode," "Just One Bite," "New Student Starfish," etc.) and sometimes even has his own adventures, while he uses the magic pencil to create his own version of the episode.
