Squidward's House (address: 122 Couch Street) is a major location in the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise as well as the main antagonist of the episode "Good Neighbors" and the comic strip House of Squidward.
As the name implies, it is the house of Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's ornery, no-nonsense neighbor. Although usually inanimate, there have been instances where the house is depicted as sentient and even malicious.
It is voiced by Tom Kenny and Rodger Bumpass.
Its Evil Ranking[]
What Makes It Heinous?[]
- In “Good Neighbors,” it attempts to destroy Bikini Bottom by setting the entire town ablaze. When the military arrive to defeat, it picks up a tank and attempts to crush the person inside to death, though he narrowly escaped death.
- Its rampage is given adequate weight to be baseline-passing, as it sets homes at fire and people are shown running for their lives from it. It also directly attempts to kill a guy onscreen, proving it was actively trying to put lives at stakes.
- Because of its senseless destruction of the city, Squidward, SpongeBob, and Patrick are forced to attend community service every Sunday for the rest of their lives.
- In “House of Squidward,” he goes on yet another rampage throughout Bikini Bottom after a switch at its back grants it sapience. It does the following:
- Destroying the Krusty Krab and eating its food.
- Forcing Plankton to serve it food and destroying his restaurant when his food displeases it.
- Drinking all of the water in Goo Lagoon, before causing a massive flood that catches some of its patrons by spitting it all out.
- Presumably destroying a few buildings in the city.
- While it seemingly shows affection towards SpongeBob’s house after he disguises it as a woman, the affection seems to be purely based on lust, as it had shown no interest in it beforehand.
- While Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Man Ray, Patrick, and even SpongeBob himself have done worse, it has less resources than them, as if “House of Squidward,” is any indication, it can only be sentient for limited periods of time if a switch it has no control over is flipped. It also lacks the toon force and powerful technology that allows the former five to commit their worst acts.
What Makes It Inconsistent?[]
- It is too comedic for anything higher. Even ignoring the fact that both of its rampages are played for black comedy, it has several comedic moments throughout the series, such as trying to sneak a peek at Patrick's secret box in “The Secret Box,” covering its ears in annoyance over SpongeBob’s crying in “Funny Pants,” and even its defeat in “House of Squidward,” where it is tricked into falling head over heels for SpongeBob’s house after the trio disguise it as a woman, allowing them to turn its sentience switch off.
- It has massive moral agency issues, as it commits its worst act in “Good Neighbors” due to its security system malfunctioning. After the security system is turned off, it turns back into a normal house.
- It has sympathetic, albeit slightly comedic, insecurities about its weight, as it brushes off Mr. Krabs ransacking it in “Growth Spout” by saying it “needed to lose a little weight anyway.”
Trivia[]
- It and Man Ray are the only SpongeBob SquarePants Inconsistently Heinous who are not considered heroes.
