Top 10 Memorable Moments: SpongeBob SquarePants & Sandy – amazing

Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants are aware of the fact that the show’s title character and Patrick have one of the closest bonds in all of television. Yet, that does not mean that SpongeBob does not have other good friends, as he has a spectacular relationship with the city’s land squirrel, Sandy. In fact, the two go through a lot over the course of the show’s run, and at some points, it seems as though that SpongeBob relates to her better than everyone else.

There are an array of great moments with them that really deserve far more attention from fans. In fact, with this show being so old, it is easy for the audience to forget some of the great aspects of their relationship. There is a rather significant change in their dynamic as it progresses, but all in all, there is no question that Sandy is one of the best friends that SpongeBob has in the entire show.

They Meet Each Other Because Of A Giant Clam

SpongeBob and Sandy’s friendship starts off in a rather peculiar way. That is to be expected with this show, though. While jellyfishing, SpongeBob sees Sandy engaging in a tussle with a giant clam. SpongeBob immediately runs to her when the clam tries to eat her.

SpongeBob jumps on its back and tries to open its jaw, but Sandy is who ends up being successful in this task. After, SpongeBob gets trapped, and Sandy saves him by kicking the clam into the sky. From there, they become great friends and their adventure begins.

Their First Hang-Out Is Hard On SpongeBob

After their battle with the giant clam, Sandy invites SpongeBob over to her house. SpongeBob of course accepts, but finds himself in quite the predicament once he comes inside. At this point in the series, he does not understand that Sandy survives on air.

Thus, SpongeBob is in desperate need of water but tries to force himself to stay after Patrick tells him to. Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick dry out entirely. However, Sandy does save the day once seeing them by giving them water bowls. From there, SpongeBob becomes a regular visitor at Sandy’s.

SpongeBob Seems To Have Feelings For Sandy (At First)

Although SpongeBob and Sandy now are known just for their great friendship, SpongeBob seems to have a bit of a crush on her at the beginning portions of the series. For example, during the ‘Ripped Pants’ episode, he becomes sad when Sandy starts spending more time with Larry than him.

In all fairness, though, she is understandably mad at SpongeBob when he fakes a drowning accident to deliver the ripped pants joke. In a later episode, he also buys anchor arms in an attempt to impress her, too.

Sandy Gets SpongeBob Fired

Another very cool aspect of Sandy and SpongeBob’s friendship is that they both enjoy karate immensely. However,  when the two practice their hobby while SpongeBob is working at the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs tells him that he will be fired if he continues.

Thus, SpongeBob tells Sandy he no longer can, but she keeps adding fuel to the fire, and eventually karate chops SpongeBob while at a picnic. Sadly. Mr. Krabs catches them fighting from here and instantly fires him. Thankfully, though, Sandy convinces Mr. Krabs to rehire him.

SpongeBob Makes Sandy No Longer Homesick

Anyone who moves away from their home might get homesick, but when it happens to Sandy, it impacts her so much that she decides that she wants to leave Bikini Bottom and move back to Texas.

SpongeBob is very sad about this, so he plans a big party at the Krusty Krab to convince her to stay. He also gets her to attend by making Texas jokes, which eventually results in her chasing him and Patrick all the way to the restaurant. Once she sees SpongeBob’s attempt to bring Texas to Bikini Bottom, she laughs hysterically and opts to stay.

They Learn Land And Sea Creatures Are Equal

Sandy and SpongeBob certainly are competitive with one another in the show. A great example of this is when Sandy argues that land creatures are better, while SpongeBob feels as though that sea creatures are.

This leads to Sandy taking off her suit after SpongeBob and the gang make fun of her for it, while the latter go on land and get attacked by seagulls. Thus, they all realize that they are in the wrong, as they all put each other in danger over something so trivial.

Sandy Attacks SpongeBob During Her Hibernation Period

Due to the fact Sandy is, of course, a squirrel, she must hibernate during the cold winter in this episode. However, while she is doing so, she asks SpongeBob to take care of her tree dome. Things quickly turn badly when Patrick visits, though, as the two fight over who gets to be Pinhead and Dirty Dan.

The noise of them fighting wakes Sandy up, and she is a monstrous beast and very angry. She attacks both SpongeBob and Patrick, but once it turns to spring, she goes back to her normal form. Thankfully, SpongeBob and Patrick survive the chaos.

SpongeBob Makes Too Many Jokes At Sandy’s Expense

When SpongeBob takes up comedy and performs at the Krusty Krab, he struggles immensely to make the crowd laugh. In fact, Harold roasts his act in front of everyone in the process. Sandy is the only one not booing him, which makes what happens next so awful.

SpongeBob insults her big teeth, which makes everyone laugh. From there, he makes a plethora of jokes at Sandy’s expense, which upsets her deeply, yet he continues to. However, she gets him to stop by acting in the way he portrays her to be through his jokes.

SpongeBob Becomes Sandy’s Test Subject

As the show progresses, the emphasis on Sandy being a scientist expands immensely. In fact, most of her appearances in the series focus on that aspect, rather than the actual friendship she and SpongeBob have.

In fact, she goes as far as to make SpongeBob the person she always tests her experiments on. A lot of the time, it actually leads to SpongeBob being put in danger. Thus, it is a little sad that their dynamic is no longer as close as it once was.

They Are Married?!

In one episode of the show, SpongeBob brings up a flashback where he and Sandy get married. Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward are shocked when SpongeBob says it, as they do not remember it occurring.

From there, fans catch a glimpse of their wedding and are equally as surprised by what is happening. However, after a stage light falls down and breaks, it is revealed that it is actually a play. The audience leaves in anger after this occurs and Mr. Krabs goes as far as saying it is the worst play he has ever seen.
