_ **How Old Is SpongeBob SquarePants?** _ SpongeBob is 20 years\*\*. The SpongeBob character aired in 2000. The animation rationale is that characters don’t age, however SpongeBob SquarePants’ date of birth has been appeared previously … what’s more?, it’s confounding. Let’s take a look: The age of cartoon characters is often a mystery or can be very difficult as most characters do not age no matter how long their series are active and others simply never reveal their age. ![How Old Is SpongeBob?](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/02/13/15/27/spongebob-2062913_1280.jpg) _ **SpongeBob SquarePants** _ is a special case in that the age of the main character has been briefly shown, but the logic of cartoons makes it a little confusing. SpongeBob have been entertaining the world since 20 years and it seems like the series won\t stop as it is Spongebob’s 12th season that is being on-aired, and has just been restored for a thirteenth, making it one of the longest running American animated series. **SpongeBob SquarePants** follows the title character’s daily adventures in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, along with best friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks and other colorful characters like Squidward Tentacles, Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff and others. As in most cartoons, logic has no real place in _SpongeBob SquarePants_, which shows in the strange uses of water and fire, but there is one detail about SpongeBob that has become a mystery as it was previously revealed doesn’t fit all about the series: his age. The series shows SpongeBob living alone in his own house with his pet snail Gary. He has a job at Krusty Krab and goes to Mrs. Puff’s boating school because he just can’t get his driver’s license. Considering that, SpongeBob would need to be at any rate 18 years of age, particularly since the characters on the show don’t age - yet he may really be excessively youthful. In the episode “Sleepy Time” SpongeBob receives his license, which shows that he was born on July 14, 1986. The episode “No Free Rides” shows his license again with the same date of birth, so it is considered official. That would mean, however, that SpongeBob was 13 when the series officially premiered (July 17, 1999), and he applied for a job with Krusty Krab at a very, very young age - and he got it. If the show’s dates and times were correlated and U.S. bikini bottom laws were in place, SpongeBob would not have legally worked at the Krusty Krab at the start of the series, and Mr. Krabs would have been in big trouble (not that he cared. He just wants money). ### **How Old Is SpongeBob SquarePants?** ![How Old Is SpongeBob SquarePants?](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/07/13/03/08/fish-tank-842729_1280.jpg) [How old is SpongeBob Squarepants?](Https://howtodiscuss.com/t/how-old-is-spongebob-squarepants/18612) Maybe because the numbers didn’t match, SpongeBob’s birth date was removed from other appearances of his license. (or whatever other document that would normally have included it), so it better fits the series’ floating timeline and good old cartoon logic where the characters never get old. Still, there is a disparity in SpongeBob’s possible age, lifestyle, and personality - he’s old enough to live alone and have a full-time job, but he’s very immature. As for your attendance at boating school, it’s just that you are too persistent and you won’t quit until you get your license. Eventually, the real time of SpongeBob is not entirely clear, so he can be as youthful, old, or ever-enduring as every viewer needs. And who knows - maybe Bikini Bottom sea sponges will age differently. ## How old is Spongbob Show [How old is the SpongeBob Show?](Https://howtodiscuss.com/t/how-old-is-spongebob-show/31613) Well _Spongebob_ was released on July 17, 1999 and has reigned as number one.
