Spongebob Squarepants and the Seven Deadly Sins

Each of the main characters in Spongebob Squarepants was inspired by one of the seven deadly sins.

Ever since Mr. Lawrence said (in an audio commentary on the Season 1 DVD’s) that Stephen Hillenburg based the 7 main characters on the 7 Deadly Sins, a lot of Spongebob fans are very fascinated with figuring out which character is each one.

1.Greed(Mr. Krabs) – this is by far the most obvious comparison that can be made. The avarice of Eugene Krabs is made painfully clear throughout the series. He is constantly thinking of ways to turn a profit, even if it involves taking advantage of his friends or putting them in harmful situations!

2. Envy(Plankton) – another no brainer. With all of Krabs’ wealth and good fortune, there has been an equal amount of hard luck and failure for his archrival, Sheldon Plankton. His life’s goal is to steal the Krabby Patty formula from his Krabs and drive his primary competitor out of business.Sloth (Patrick) – the guy lives under a rock for crying out loud! If that isn’t enough to convince you, in the episode “Big Pink Loser” Patrick is given an award for ‘doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else’

3. Pride (Sandy) – the fact that Sandy Cheeks is from Texas alone should almost suffice for this one. She is a squirrel that is very proud of her heritage, so much so that in one episode she nearly moved back home! Sandy also takes a great deal of satisfaction in being the only land critter living down in Bikini Bottom among all the fishy folk.

4. Wrath(Squidward) – Squidward Tentacles has no qualms about expressing his negative outlook on life, whether it be by describing how much he hates his job at the Krusty Krab or through outward disdain for his two obnoxious neighbors. He is portrayed as a general failure who refuses to acknowledge his own personal flaws.

5. Gluttony(Gary) – now this one’s a bit trickier. Those who have watched a great deal of the series will have noticed a number of jokes about Spongebob having to remember to feed his pet snail. To be honest, Gary doesn’t do a whole lot besides eating and meowing, and the meowing is often due to the fact that he is hungry.

6. Lust(Spongebob) – our final analogy is probably the least apparent because we typically think of ‘lust’ in a sexual sense. However, the alternative definition for lust is simply “a passionate desire for something”. In this sense of the word, it cannot be denied that our absorbent yellow friend is an extremely lustful creature.

Therefore, if you has a lust for life just like Spongebob, you may change your UPCleaner skin to a Spongebob theme. In the last version of UPCleaner, several new skins are added in the Skin Center so that you can change the appearance of your floating window. If you select the SpongeBob skin, it will be located in a purple dunker to display your PC status very clearly.
