Like with many other theories related to children’s TV content, this SpongeBob SquarePants one is more for fun than something to be taken as a fact – unless confirmed by a producer or writer. Even between those who support the theory are some disagreements, especially regarding Squidward and Sandy, as some believe Squidward is pride and Sandy is wrath. The SpongeBob characters do share some traits that coincide with the seven deadly sins, but it’s unlikely that was done on purpose. It could also be interpreted as SpongeBob having an intense desire to be loved no matter the consequences. That’s where SpongeBob falls, as he certainly shows an incredible amount of love for his friends (and for Spongebob's miserable Squidward, who doesn’t consider himself a friend of SpongeBob) to the point where it can be annoying to some. This term is usually understood as an excessive sexual desire, but others define it as an excessive love for others. Last but not least is SpongeBob himself, who according to the theory represents Lust. Sandy represents Pride, as she’s highly competitive, has a big ego, and is very proud of her Texas heritage (she even wrote a song about it). Squidward hates almost everyone and everything in Bikini Bottom, except for himself and his clarinet. The ever-angry Squidward is Wrath in the SpongeBob seven deadly sins theory, which involves an uncontrollable hatred towards everything. Krabs lives for money and will do anything to get it, even if that means putting himself and others at risk Krabs himself, he is of course the incarnation of Greed, which is marked by an excessive love for money and material things. Plankton is Envy in the SpongeBob seven Deadly Sins theory, which is clear as his life revolves around stealing the Krusty Krab's secret Krabby Patty formula.
