Appearances
SpongeBob SquarePants is the title character of the series of the same name. He (or some version of him) has appeared in every episode of the series, giving him the most appearances out of any character. However, he does not make an in-person appearance in the special "Patchy's Playlist" and only appears 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.
Although SpongeBob appears in every full-length episode of the series, 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."
Episodes in which more than one SpongeBob appear include "The Chaperone," "Sleepy Time," "Your Shoe's Untied," "Pressure," "Jellyfish Hunter" "Doing Time," "Krusty Krab Training Video," "Squilliam Returns," "The Sponge Who Could Fly," "Spy Buddies," "Overbooked," "Back to the Past," "SpongeBob You're Fired," "CopyBob DittoPants," and "Boss for a Day."
