                Spongebob Squarepants characters  
Charcter: Squidward Tentacles
                From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   
                 Squidward Johannsen Tentacles is a fictional
                  character in the animated cartoon television show SpongeBob
                  SquarePants. He is an octopus (and also a "sourpus")
                  and has 6 tentacles. He uses two of them as arms and the other
                  four as legs. Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants,
                  says Squidward is a rare type of octopus that only have 6 legs
                  and are blue-green, although he also said 8 tentacles looked
                  bulky so he could've chosen that type of octopus. Squidward
                  is believed to be born on October 23, 1975. The character is
                  voiced by Rodger Bumpass.  
                Squidward Residence
                Squidward lives in the Easter Island moai house between SpongeBob
                SquarePants and Patrick. Despite his wish for peace and quiet,
                his two neighbors, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick make it
                nearly impossible, due to their high level of childish immaturity
                and silliness.
                 Squidward Occupation 
                Squidward works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant,
                along with SpongeBob SquarePants. Generally, he despises his
                job and loves the thought of getting fired, though he only attempts
                to quit in one episode. He doesn't take his work very seriously,
                being the exact opposite of SpongeBob SquarePants. In "Just
                One Bite", Squidward was revealed to never have eaten a
                Krabby Patty. He insists that they are disgusting, but after
                trying a bite of one, he falls in love with it.  
             Squidward's
              Neighbors 
            SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick always encourage Squidward to participate
            in their games, but this only annoys him. In particular, SpongeBob
            SquarePants and Patrick often ask him to go jellyfishing with them.
            While seemingly the eternal pessimist, he occasionally tries to be
            like SpongeBob SquarePants (often with hopes that doing so will stop
            SpongeBob SquarePants from bugging him), but does not ever get the
            hang of it. In one episode, however he finds himself putting a piece
            of paper on his nose and dancing a jig in insanity. When SpongeBob
            SquarePants isn't looking, Squidward will start to act more like
            SpongeBob SquarePants from time to time, especially in the earlier
            episodes like Bubblestand and The Paper. Squidward's voice reveals
            a lot about his persona and attitude, much like SpongeBob's voice.
            In one episode, Selling Out, he is forced to keep a smile glued to
            his face by the manager of Krabby O' Mondays which creates an interesting
            effect, as Squidward hardly ever smiles while showing his teeth.  
                       
                       Squidward Leisure 
An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection
                      for interpretive dance, sculpture, painting, and playing
                      the clarinet, but shows no significant talent for any of
                      them. He has often tried to impress the public with his
                      artistic exhibitions, but is always either unrecognized,
                      mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward
                      always wants to be the center of attention but rarely ever
                      is.  
                       
He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show,
starting his own astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he can't
seem to get much of a cult following (with the exception of SpongeBob SquarePants,
who really looks up to Squidward) Mr. Krabs and Patrick also seem to like him,
though it may be argued that Mr. Krabs only likes Squidward because of his allegiance
with the Krusty Krab. Squidward considers himself the greatest and most unrecognized
clarinet player of all time, though most undersea life that hear him play will
argue that he is horrible. His clarinet playing often gets him into trouble.
Squidward's Annoyance
 Squidward finds SpongeBob SquarePants a complete annoyance. He tends to let everyone
annoy him, especially those who want to be his friend, although at many times
his fear of the loud and overbearing SpongeBob is quite justified. His best friend
is his clarinet, whose name is Clary. One of Squidward's greatest dreams and
desires is to either have hair or to buy a wig. He seems to think he would look
good with hair. Aside from musical talents, he enjoys painting several pictures
of himself and hanging them up around his house. There are new paintings in his
house in almost every episode, constantly changing and almost never the same.
Tentacle Acres 
In one episode, he sees an ad on TV about a town called Tentacle Acres, also
known as Squidville, where millions of squids live in Easter island heads just
like him. He decides to move there, and for a while things are spectacular. Eventually,
though, he starts to miss SpongeBob's reef blower games and the city of Bikini
Bottom. In Tentacle Acres, daily life is all one big routine that Squidward tires
of after a week or so. He begins to wreak havoc throughout the overly structured
civilization of Tentacle Acres with a reef blower. Angry citizens corner him
in an alleyway and demand that he leave. Instead of obeying their wishes, he
launches himself into the air via reef blower, screaming, "Woohoo! FREEDOM!".
 Squidward Rivalry 
 His rival is Squilliam Fancyson, from Band Class, who bears an uncanny resemblance
  to Squidward, but wears a robe and has a unibrow. Squilliam is a wealthy six-legged
  octopus, usually with many admirers following his presence. He constantly shows
  up to make fun of Squidward, however Squidward makes a jerk out of Squilliam
  when his ragtag band plays for the Bubble Bowl and turns out to be much better
  than he ever expected.  
 Squidward's Character 
Squidward's character could be read as one who represents
    adults, while characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick represent
  children, the target audience for the program. Squidward seems to have had
  high hopes for his life, and seems to hold himself to very adult standards
  (he keeps his home clean, cultivates a taste for "mature" things, craves peace
    and quiet), and the silliness of his neighbors annoys him greatly. His obsessions
    with greatness and failure seem to peg him as a grownup: in one episode, he's
    spotted trudging to a cemetery to lay flowers at a headstone that reads, "Here
    Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams." Secretly, however, he seems to yearn
    to "cut loose", but won't admit it. Although he is secretly scared
    of human resources (henchman), he also hates SpongeBob's crying more than
    his laughing, and in one episode laughed like SpongeBob because he broke
    his own laugh box.
