The viewers of SpongeBob SquarePants are always curious about the age of SpongBob. Everyone wants to know “how old is spongbob”.
How old is SpongBob:
SpongeBob’s big birthday ■■■■ was an amazing event as some of the best characters in bikini bottom came to celebrate the birthday of everyone’s favorite sponge. Yeah that’s cool and all but throughout the episode we never actually see what age he’s turning. This is one of those mysteries that’s been in the series since the beginning. Into the whole birthday special is a perfect reason to bring back the discussion one of the final few lines in the episode is Patrick asking what age spongebob is turning.
And just when we’re about to find out some incredible information the camera cuts, to set again, nothing is revealed. This is a reminiscent of that time in the Krusty Krab training video when we’re so close to knowing the Krabby Patty secret formula. And then the episode just ends. It only happens with some of the biggest mysteries in the show.
Age of SpongBob:
So, all of that then leads to the question what age is spongebob actually turning I’ve seen some people online talk about the possibility of him being 20 years old. Since there’s that one promotional image of a cake with the number 20. I hate to burst your bubble but this is only referring to this series.
Premiere back in 1999 and the last time, I checked, he wasn’t 0 years old. When he started working at the Krusty Krab. That theory is going in the trash. But where exactly does that leave us well there’s been a few hints given to us throughout the series. For one thing spongebob is old enough to not only live on his own, but also to have a full-time job working at a restaurant, and he’s passed the driving age to all of this makes it clear that he’s somewhere past 20 years old.
Evidence from Season 1 episode Sleepy time:
But that’s not specific at all what seems like the most concrete evidence comes from season 1 episode sleepy time. Where we get a glimpse of SpongeBob’s driver’s license in a dream. It says he was born on July 14th 1986. Oh a look at that.If it’s his real birthday. Then according to this, spongebob would be 35 years old.
As of SpongBob is seeing his driver’s license in a dream may be unreliable. But then it reappeared in season two’s no free rides. When he gets a temporary license. So maybe we really have found to the answer. In a 2004 interview with Sears creator Stephen Hillenburg, he jokingly mentions that spongebob is 50 years old in spunge years. But he actually has no specific age this is one of those questions that’ll never be solved 100%.
But I think the range that makes the most sense is late 20s early 30s. If we take into consideration SpongeBob’s lifestyle on the show. We don’t know exactly how old he’s turning in the big birthday blowout. But I highly doubt it’s anywhere past 35 either way.
Conclusion:
So, if we see the age of SpongBob according to spung years. Then he is 51 years old. But according to the series he is 35 years old.
It’s still fun to make theories about his age and I’m wondering how old do you guys think he is give me just a random number in the comments that you think makes the most sense along with some evidence from the show I want to hear your theories.
