The Kelpo toy is the free toy that SpongeBob receives in the mail in the episode "Waiting," and later reappears in the online game SpongeMania.
Description[]
This toy is small and light green. It has big blue eyes and wears a purple shirt on its body. It has an orange button on its shirt and is always smiling, showing a single tooth, rosy cheeks, and its tongue, and it wears black shoes.
The toy's head looks like a four-leaf clover and is supposed to have wires coming out of it. Lastly, the button on its chest can be pushed for its legs and arms to spring in and out.
Role in episode[]
SpongeBob is extremely determined to obtain the toy, which he can only receive if he mails in 99 box tops from the Kelpo cereal. So he buys a large quantity of Kelpo boxes and works very hard to receive his prize. After mailing it, he eagerly waits for his toy to arrive.
Eventually, the mailman delivers the toy to SpongeBob. After Patrick presses the orange button, making its legs and arms spring out, SpongeBob thinks that he broke the toy, ultimately making them burst into tears.
By forcing the toy's head and legs back onto its body, Squidward, furious by their continual aggravation, intervenes and shows them that the toy is not broken and that what Patrick did to it that it is supposed to do that.
Trivia[]
- When Patrick first "breaks" the toy, he taps its head rather than pressing the button, which is what should have caused the "breakage," and when Squidward makes its limbs spring out, he only taps its head, then it comes together again.
- Its tooth is the same color as its body rather than white.
