Appearances
SpongeBob SquarePants is the title character of the series of the same name and the main character of Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years. He (or some version of him) has appeared in every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants and Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, giving him the most appearances out of any character. However, he does not make an in-person appearance in any of the stand-alone specials as those only feature SpongeBob appearing in archive footage from past episodes. The main universe SpongeBob was also technically absent in "The Algae's Always Greener," where his alternate universe counterpart appeared instead. He is also frequently absent in The Patrick Star Show, due to the spin-off focusing on Patrick Star instead.
Although SpongeBob appears in every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants and Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, he does not appear in several shorts. These include the "What If SpongeBob Was Gone?" shorts, "Friend or Foe" shorts, "Ask Patrick Anything," the Merry Nickmas shorts "Patrick the Snowman," "Plankton's Holiday Hits," "A Chuckie Finster Christmas, Channukah, Kwaanza, Winter Solstice," and the SpongeBob Gold short "Krabby Patty IRL."
His only non-speaking/non-verbal appearances to date are "Reef Blower," "Whale Watching" (not counting his laugh), and "Lockdown for Love."
