Or Dec. Looks like Squidward Q. Tentacles is a Gen Xer. Who knew he was that much younger than Mr. Krabs and Plankton? Yes, Mr. Krabs and Plankton, two characters introduced to '90s kids nearly two decades ago, are 75 now. Wow, when did that happen? Has it really been almost 19 years since that painting of a pirate belted out the SpongeBob Squarepants theme on TV for the first time?
Where have the years gone? Did we get old? Is that what's happening? Krabs had a hard time going back to normal after the war and spent some time secluded in a deep depression, which would be a normal and understandable reaction to serving in a war like the Vietnam one.

When Stephen Hillenburg first created Mr. Krabs, his and Pearl's surname was spelled with a C rather than a K. Thus, the name of Krabs' restaurant was the "Crusty Crab. Krabs and Pearl live in an anchor was made after production on the first season had started.
The original map of the show's setting, which Hillenburg showed Nickelodeon executives as part of his pitch to the network in , did not include an anchor house and instead labeled the Krusty Krab as both of the characters' residence. In most cases, Mr. Krabs has a distinct manner of walking; when he moves, he moves his feet very quickly and he is drawn as if he has more than two legs. When directing animation for early episodes, one of Stephen Hillenburg's goals was for each character to have a separate walk cycle that showed their personalities; storyboard artist Erik Wiese designed Krabs' walk cycle with the intention of making it cartoonish.
Wiese recalled in , "I animated Mr. Krabs' little feet on a four-frame multi-blur cycle—I think it was the best solution to making him walk like a crab. Krabs' voice usually is provided by actor Clancy Brown.
Brown describes the voice he uses for the character as "piratey," with "a little Scottish brogue. Brown is fond of playing the role, having told the New York Post in , "I wouldn't mind doing [the voice] until the end of time. There's just no corollary in live-action work—television or films or anything—to playing a miserly crab on the bottom of the ocean.
Krabs as a character, saying he is "not a bad guy, just like your local banker or businessman. He loves Pearl too! In a interview with the magazine Starlog , Brown described his work on SpongeBob as a "whole other career" compared to his live-action roles.
Krabs is short, red, and portly with tall eyestalks, a crinkled red-brown nose, large claws, and short, pointy legs. Spikes on his shell are also visible on the back of his neck.
He wears a light blue shirt and purple pants with a black belt. A sailor or pirate ship often correlates with Mr. Many times when he appears on-screen, sea-shanty sailor music is playing. Krabs is extremely greedy, cheap, miserly, stingy, money-hungry, and sometimes hypocritical. He is sometimes portrayed as being even just as bad, if not worse, than Plankton. His main interest is to have money, and he could not care less for anybody, including his customers, employees, family, or even himself.
He treats money as if it's royalty in some aspects. He frequently associates his customers and products with money, with lines such as "That's me money walking out the door! Krabs' portrayal shows him as being obsessed with money and wealth to the point of anthropomorphizing it from the beginning, he became more miserly, cheap, and immoral as the series progressed, up to the ninth season. When SpongeBob uses the term "obsession" to describe his relationship with money and wealth during " Plankton's Good Eye ," he denies it and claims it to be a strong word.
He then puts his money to bed. He is prone to fits of insanity if he has to give up as much as a penny. He often goes to irrationally great lengths to acquire or to avoid losing money with little, if any, regard to the safety or well-being of others or even himself. In " Squid's Day Off ," he loses both arms and suffers a severe head injury while attempting to pull a dime out of the sink. Krabs always remembers the price for everything he has bought, which proves his greed has a strong memory.
In the same episode, he forces SpongeBob to serve a contaminated patty that he found under the grill, refusing to let anything that he could potentially make money with go to waste. Ironically, this results in the Krusty Krab losing weeks of business. He also tries to rip somebody's arm off for a penny saying "Unhand that penny or the arm comes off. Additionally, he has little respect for royalty. In " Rule of Dumb ," when Patrick is believed to be the king of Bikini Bottom, Krabs allows him to eat at the Krusty Krab in the hopes of getting more money.
Krabs promptly kicks Patrick out when he discovers that he never intended to pay at all, shouting, "No one eats at my restaurant for free, king or no king! He has also risen the price of food in " Truth or Square " in which it was the th anniversary of the Krusty Krab and adds an extra zero at the end of every price on the menu in hopes of getting more money.
Krabs has even admitted his cheap nature before, such as in " Squirrel Jokes. The first attempt was to an oncoming biker gang in " Born to Be Wild. His treatment of his employees is just as bad while inconsistent throughout the series; SpongeBob and Squidward's wages are always stated to be extremely low, far below minimum legal wage as shown in " Squid on Strike. Krabs pays him minimum wage. In " Bummer Vacation ," SpongeBob comments that nickel is "more than [he makes] in a year.
He is also shown to abuse his employees, most notably in " Fear of a Krabby Patty ," in which he forces them to work nonstop 24 hours a day, seven days a week without rest for more than 40 days. In " Squid on Strike ," Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob and Squidward bills instead of checks on payday, which charge them for any non-work-related activity, including standing, breathing, and even existing.
Krabs actually pays him in play money. His safety measures and maintenance of the restaurant are extremely poor, if not nonexistent, frequently resorting to improvised and obviously inadequate measures to avoid paying for actual insurance and repairs.
In " Pickles ," he takes money out of SpongeBob's paycheck for one small mistake. In multiple episodes, Mr. Krabs takes advantage of the situation in order to make money, only to have it backfire later on. SpongeBob bought several things, including a menu, a microphone, and a light-up arrow. However, Krabs turned it down as he already made a menu made of napkins, a microphone made of tin cans on a string, and a very small fish-shaped sign, despite the fact that SpongeBob already paid for them, thus making Mr.
Krabs not have to spend anything. Because of the increase in customers, he keeps knocking more holes in the walls of his restaurant until it eventually collapses. In " Out of the Picture ," Krabs, after SpongeBob telling him that when paintings get older, they get more expensive, buys all of Squidward's paintings, including the one that SpongeBob bought.
After an art appraiser tells him that the paintings of a dead artist are a lot more expensive than those of an alive artist, he sends Squidward to a series of deliveries to dangerous locations to get him killed in the process. After through luck, Squidward survives all of them, including delivery to Mars , Krabs in anger takes out a huge hammer and tries to directly kill him.
Squidward in the process is forced to destroy his paintings and the art appraiser appraises the destruction. Krabs, in hopes of getting money, then destroys his own restaurant just to impress the appraiser. The appraiser then says to Krabs that the "performance" couldn't have a price on it, so Mr. Krabs then gets angry, but a piece of the roof crushes him and Squidward. It is then seen that they are displaced in an art museum.
Krabs can also be incredibly petty. Krabs breaks down crying, saying that he can't let Plankton have even one solitary customer, even though Plankton says beforehand that he wouldn't try to steal the Krabby Patty formula anymore because he "just can't afford it. In " Born Again Krabs ," he attacks an innocent bystander who found a penny on the floor and nearly tore his arm off to get the penny. During his schemes, he often forces SpongeBob to help him by threatening to fire him.
Krabs has also shown that he believes that he has full control over SpongeBob's personal life: In " Karate Choppers ," he forces SpongeBob to give up karate altogether, including outside of work, or else he would be fired. In " My Pretty Seahorse ," Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to not just stop bringing Mystery to work, but to get rid of her completely and has on many occasions forced his employees to work nonstop and told them that they could never go home, which is illegal.
Krabs is very protective of the secret formula , as he is always going to great lengths to make sure it is safe from Plankton.
However, he is so used to Plankton making attempts to steal it that if Plankton doesn't make any attempts for a certain length of time, he begins to lose his sanity. As shown in Plankton Paranoia , Mr. Krabs is willing to leave the formula in plain sight, make new laws about all Krabby Patties having to be eaten on Krusty Krab premises, and even ban his customers and his employees just to get Plankton to reveal himself, and he often ends up hallucinating that Plankton is everywhere.
Despite his cruel and money-grubbing behavior, Mr. Krabs is not completely heartless. He has apologized for his actions on occasion, and he does care for Pearl, going to great lengths to acquire food for her in " Growth Spout " and in " Bossy Boots " he makes Pearl manager and gets heartbroken having to fire her. Despite his somewhat abusive treatment of SpongeBob and Squidward, he does care for and appreciate them, as the two help keep his restaurant afloat. He has also stated that he wouldn't stoop so low as to physically abuse them, as shown in " Selling Out.
Additionally, in " Born Again Krabs " he struck a deal with the Flying Dutchman for a second chance at life because he is a non-cheap, generous krab, something that he did very well until he discovered that he had no money in the cash register. As seen in " Little Yellow Book ," even Mr. Krabs is upset at Squidward for reading SpongeBob's diary.
In " Welcome to the Chum Bucket " Mr. Krabs is heartbroken over losing SpongeBob and even says he will give it all away to have him back. He also shows some sort of fatherly concern towards SpongeBob and Patrick, making them promise never to go near the hooks in " Hooky " and forbidding them from using vulgar words in " Sailor Mouth.
Krabs is technically a good crab overall. Krabs and Pearl live together in a hollow anchor. Krabs and Pearl own a pet worm named Mr.
Krabs is an extremely selfish and greedy individual when it comes to his money and will go to any lengths for just a single penny. This is shown in " Penny Foolish " where he breaks into SpongeBob's house just to obtain a penny. He even chased a penny for miles in " Imitation Krabs. He will even abuse SpongeBob and Squidward at work in many episodes. He makes them work for 24 hours in " Graveyard Shift " and " Fear of a Krabby Patty ," but changes it to 23 hours.
He forces them to fish for his millionth dollar, even going as far as to use them as bait in " Clams. It is shown in " Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm " that he cares more about money than he does about anyone else, even their lives, as shown when Sandy wanted him to pay her. It is also shown in " The Slumber Party " that he can prioritize money over Pearl's happiness when he gives her only tap water with crackers and ketchup in place of pizza and a lot of rules.
In " Whale of a Birthday " It is revealed that Mr. Krabs ruined 15 of Pearl's birthday parties due to being cheap, and almost ruined her 16th birthday party, only angry to find out that SpongeBob bought a lot of gifts with his credit card. The episode " Born Again Krabs " shows his greedy personality when he almost dies for forcing SpongeBob to serve a rotten patty.
In the same episode, he shows how selfish he is when he sells SpongeBob's soul just for 62 cents and almost rips somebody's arm off for a penny. In " Krusty Love " shows his generous side when he finds someone he loves just as much as money, which appears to be Mrs. He then tells SpongeBob to make him not spend any money even though he forces SpongeBob to spend money for him as he scolds him, prompting him to finally snap at him and curse in gibberish, yet he is able to win Mrs.
Puff's heart and keep his money. In " Born Again Krabs ," he gave children free toys, gave people the ability to watch movies that have not even been in theaters, and free refills; Mr. He has also paid SpongeBob fake money and stole people's belongings to avoid paying, as shown in " Life of Crime. Plankton ," his eyes turn in golden bars when the lawyer says, "We'll counter sue Plankton for everything he's got!
Krabs' greed is a double-edged sword, as he has made business decisions in order to save or acquire more money, which turned out to be counter-productive.
In " SpongeBob You're Fired ," he fires his best employee simply to save a nickel and opts to do the fry cooking himself, which backfires since his terrible fry cook skills scared all the customers away.
In " Hello Bikini Bottom! Many times, Mr. Eugene H.
