Squidward
Squidward Quincy Tentacles ( , ) is a fictional character in Nickelodeon's animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. Created and designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg, he is voiced by actor Rodger Bumpass. Squidward first appeared on television in the series' pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999.
Despite having "squid" in the character's name, Squidward is an anthropomorphic octopus. He lives in a moai themed house between SpongeBob SquarePants' and Patrick Star's houses on Conch Street in Bikini Bottom. The character is portrayed as short-tempered, impatient, arrogant, selfish, sassy, introverted, condescending, bitter, and misanthropic, and he despises his two neighbors' constant disruptive antics. However, the pair are unaware of Squidward's dislike towards them and see him as a friend. Squidward works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant, a job which he does not enjoy but is too lazy to take his chances with a real job.
The character's reception from fans has been positive. Squidward is a recurring character in all of the franchise's theatrical and streaming films starting with The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and has appeared in many SpongeBob SquarePants publications, toys, and other merchandise.
