Description[]

SB 100B Char stanley squarepants

Stanley's model sheet

Stanley seems to wear clothing extremely similar to SpongeBob's, except Stanley does not have the lines SpongeBob has on his pants. He also has long pants and black hair split into two sides.

According to Mr. Krabs, he looks, smells, and tastes like SpongeBob.

Unlike all other known members of the SquarePants family, Stanley's head is distinct from his somewhat human-like torso. He seems to be the tallest SquarePants for this reason.

Abilities and talents[]

Stanley is a complete klutz, claiming that he "cannot do anything right." Anything he tries to do will fail horrifically, regardless of how simple and inconsequential it would be for another person. For example, the scene where Stanley simply touched SpongeBob's TV resulted in said television exploding, reportedly not the first time something of the sort had occurred. His sole talent would appear to be destroying things without even trying, which Mr. Krabs used to destroy the Chum Bucket. However, he does have several abilities to point out:

  • Invulnerability - He seemed uninjured when the Chum Bucket exploded while Stanley was in the interior.
  • No bones - He was capable of squeezing in a cardboard box which is small compared to his body due to being a sponge.
  • Destruction - Everything he touches breaks or explodes.

Personality[]

Stanley willfully tries to attempt to find a hobby or occupation, always resulting in chaos or failure. Appearing to be amazed by SpongeBob's lifestyles, he skims SpongeBob's house, touching everything from the toilet to the television, despite knowing that he breaks anything he comes in contact with using his hands. He demonstrates a seeming disregard for his cousin's property.

Antagonistic side[]

When Stanley takes a job at the Krusty Krab, he remains silent while SpongeBob takes the blame for destruction caused by Stanley. He further annoys his first customer by repeatedly taking pictures with him, which causes the customer to literally explode. Upon taking these pictures, he leaves his post to get them developed, running past a line of visibly annoyed customers. SpongeBob has to substitute for him, leaving a messy workspace that further enrages Mr. Krabs.

SpongeBob reaches the limits of his patience after seeing his spatula broken in Stanley's hands, so he confesses that he was covering for Stanley. After his cousin's outburst, Stanley realizes his error and breaks down at both failing SpongeBob and causes more destruction in the process. In the end, they make amends and are seen walking to their separate jobs.

Occupation[]

Stanley attempts to become a scientist when visiting Sandy, but his teeth tear a hole in her suit, which causes her to involuntarily rise to the surface. He takes a job as the cashier in the Krusty Krab and failed as a result of his destructive ways. When Mr. Krabs realizes this, he sends Stanley to the Chum Bucket to sabotage it.

Biography[]

Stanley was born to Sherm SquarePants and an unknown Mrs. SquarePants.

In the episode of his name, Stanley was sent to live with SpongeBob for somehow breaking everything he touches and not being able to do anything right in his life. SpongeBob helps him out, only to fail at first. Mr. Krabs finally helps by giving Stanley a job at the Chum Bucket, much to his amusement when Stanley destroys the restaurant during his first day.

Residence[]

His episode debut noted that he lived with his father, Sherm. Stanley stated he does not have various possessions owned by SpongeBob.

Sherm does not let him touch anything in his house since Stanley would destroy it on contact, regardless of his intentions.

Trivia[]

  • It is said that Stanley breaks everything he touches, but he does not break the camera when he is taking pictures with the customer.
  • He shares the same hairstyle as his cousin BlackJack.
