Description[]
In the book Hooray for Dads!, Mr. Tentacles looks very similar to his son and wears a brown shirt. The only differences between him and Squidward are that his shirt is a lighter shade of brown, his skin is greener than Squidward's, and he wears a red necktie and glasses.
In Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, he is yellow in color and wears a purple shirt.
In "Momageddon," he wears a purple sweater and has two strands of hair on his head and bushy mustache.
In "Jeffy T's Prankwell Emporium," he, like his wife, receives a drastic redesign, with him having pale yellow skin, yellow eyes with orange pupils, bushy balding gray hair and mustache, and wears a brown suit and pants with boots, a yellow shirt, as well as a green bowtie with purple polka dots.
Personality[]
In Hooray for Dads! and "Momageddon," Mr. Tentacles is shown to have a similar personality to his son as both have an uninterested air to them. He cares for his son as he was willing to spend time with him for the events.
In "Jeffy T's Prankwell Emporium," however, he is shown to be a fun-loving prankster, quickly bonding with SpongeBob and Patrick over his famous (and overpriced) prank items.
History[]
He is mentioned in "Krab Borg" when SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that Squidward's father never hugged him. Squidward then claims that his father loved him very much.
Mr. Tentacles makes his physical debut appearance in the book Hooray for Dads!, indicating he is alive.
His name is revealed in Sponge Master.
Role in series[]
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years[]
"Kamp Kow"[]
In Squidward's flashback as a baby, he takes a clarinet away from his son as he was annoyed by it. Mrs. Tentacles then gives him a toy of Lucky that made the exact same sounds as the clarinet.
SpongeBob SquarePants[]
"Momageddon"[]
Mr. Tentacles makes his proper series debut in "Momageddon" in which he, Harold SquarePants, and Krabs Senior visit the Krusty Krab for Bring Your Dad to Work Day.
"Jeffy T's Prankwell Emporium"[]
He visits Squidward and brings all sorts of gags with him. He pranks him, SpongeBob, and Patrick repeatedly throughout the day. During the night, Squidward creates "the ultimate prank" and gives it to Jeffy. The box-shaped device repeatedly hurts him by punching him in the face with a giant boxing glove, setting him on fire, and more. After getting seriously injured, Jeffy congratulates Squidward and says he will pack up his things and head out. He pranks Squidward one last time with a bombsicle that explodes his head.
Relationships[]
Squidward Tentacles[]
According to Squidward himself in "Krab Borg," his father loved him very much. SpongeBob seems to disagree. Despite Jeff's love for his son, he dislikes his son's clarinet playing as seen in the flashback of the episode "Kamp Kow," where he unwittingly made his baby son cry after Jeff angrily takes away his clarinet due to being annoyed with it, but was relieved that Squidward at least stopped crying when Mrs. Tentacles gave him a toy of Lucky that had the exact sound as a clarinet.
Trivia[]
- His appearance in "Kamp Kow" resembles a prototype version of Squidward.
- If not counting the season split, he is the first character in the series to have two different designs in the same season.
