==Plot==
The Episode starts with Patrick, reading a comic book, then after reading it he ate it. [[Image:Patrick als Kind.jpg|thumb|right|Patrick as a child, reading his poem]]
SpongeBob then comes, carrying tones of comic books. Patrick then burps one of the pages of the comic book he was reading. He asked SpongeBob to read it for him. The note tells the comic book readers, they'll make their poem into a hit song on the radio, just send in $100. Patrick does not have $100, and then suddenly SpongeBob's wallet fell out. Inside SpongeBob's wallet is a hundred dollars. Patrick took his money and SpongeBob could not pay for the comic books.

SpongeBob and Patrick were inside SpongeBob's house. Patrick tells SpongeBob to do not disturb him while he is working on his poem and then he left. SpongeBob then heard someone is on the door. Patrick opened the door with SpongeBob behind it. Patrick needs a place and things he need for his poem. Patrick unfortunately could not make a poem. Patrick needed to use his brain. Patrick used his brain to think, and he made a poem, and stink up the whole room and a smell so strong, Squidward can smell it from his house. Patrick then mailed his poem.

The next day at Bigshot Records, the band received his poem, and it smells so bad. The band played until it killed them. The fish gave Patrick’s song to Patrick. They listen to the song, titled "I Wrote This" and they loved it. SpongeBob and Patrick decided to put it on the radio. They tried to give the song to them but they refuse to air it on the radio. SpongeBob and Patrick think of other ways to get Patrick song on the radio. They decided to climb up the radio antenia and put the record on top of it. They then played the record and everyone heard it and Bikini Bottom gone crazy. The citizens started a riot and went straight to the radio tower. The angry mob asked who was responsible for the horrible song on the radio. The angry mob then chased SpongeBob and Patrick and stopped when they played a new song called "ughhhh". The angry mob then quotes: At least it got the song out of our head. Patrick remembered his song then played it again. Patrick’s coach then appeared and quotes: Looks like you need another lesson. They then threw dodge balls at SpongeBob and Patrick.

==Trivia/Goofs==
*The original title for this episode was "I am the Starfish" a parody of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatles Beatles] song "I am the Walrus". The song Patrick wrote makes no sense just like the song I am the Walrus.
*SpongeBob’s wallet fell out of nowhere.
*As a child Patrick has only one front Tooth and a blue hat with a dash of red.
*Second appearance of Bigshot Records. The first appearance was "[[Wigstruck]]."
*This is the last episode to be featured on the Season 5 Volume 1 DVD.
*The gym where Patrick thought it was poem literature might have been community college with Flats as supposed in [[The Bully]] since this is the only school Patrick claims he went to.
* It is revealed that Patrick has a fear of dodgeballs.

Bikini Bottom Super Band

2008-05-22T00:05:34Z

Spongeyruler30:

'''The Bikini Bottom Super Band''' is a band that was set up by [[Squidward]] to show up his rival, [[Squilliam Fancyson]]. The band have had only one known performance, at the Bubble Bowl. The band were terrible before, however [[SpongeBob]] kept it going and sang at the Bubble Bowl as a rock band. Most of the main characters and many of the townsfolk are in the band.

==Future==

The Future doesn't look very hopeful for the Band, because the last episode they starred in was [[Band Geeks]] and that's the only performance they have done. They may have more performances, but this is unlikey.

Bikini Bottom

2008-05-21T23:56:00Z

Spongeyruler30: /* Housing */

[[Image:Bikini Bottom.jpg|thumb|right|Bikini Bottom]]
'''Bikini Bottom''' is a fictional city that appears in the Nickelodeon animated television series, [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]. Located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, it is where the series' main characters live, and where most of the episodes take place.

Bikini Bottom is similar to an average American city. The city consists of various businesses, including restaurants, stores, and manufacturers. The city has a stable economy, a balanced education and health systems, a structured government, and a firm law enforcement system. There are even stadiums, amusement parks, and other recreational facilities. Bikini Bottom first was mentioned in the episode: [[Plankton!]] but first appeared in the episode: [[Hall Monitor]].

== Location ==
Bikini Bottom is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, below to its signature island, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll Bikini Atoll], according to [[Stephen Hillenburg]]. There are many instances of proof on the show: After being scared off by ghosts, [[Sandy Cheeks]] evacuated to Texas. She was seen flying east from the Pacific Ocean. In the Employee of the Month computer game, a fish mentions that Bikini Bottom is located in the Pacific Ocean. In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, when SpongeBob was singing the "Goofy Goober Rock", the camera rose out of the water into outer space. When it did, it came out of the Pacific Ocean. In the TV commercial "[[Plankton's Holiday Hits]]", Bikini Bottom is revealed to be part of the United States, and its residents Americans. Bikini Bottom is placed beneath its namesake island, Bikini Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean. Bikini Bottom's location at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is mentioned or referred to in several different episodes, and in the movie, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

==Landscapes/Geography== [[Image:Deponie.JPG|thumb|right|The Bikini Bottom Dump]]
Bikini Bottom's geography is shown as consisting of mountains, dense forests, lakes, lagoons, caves, grasslands, reefs and rivers. In "[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]", volcanoes, trenches and deserts are shown in the surrounding region. Major geographic features have colorful names including:
*[[Goo Lagoon]]
*[[Sand Mountain]]
*[[Jellyfish Fields]]
*[[Kelp Forest]]
*Make-Out Reef
*Ancient Mariner Valley (the location of [[King Neptune|Neptune]]'s Paradise.)
*Palm Bay
*[[Brain Coral]] Fields
*Sulfur Fields
*Industrial Park
*[[Mermalair]]
* [[Mount Climb-Up-and-Fall-Off]]
*[[Sea Needle]]

The city is divided by its main road, '''Conch Street''', which runs from downtown and past the homes of SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick, through the '''Krusty Krab''' restaurant, '''The Chum Bucket''' and the '''Reef Theatre''' cinema.

In every episode in which the skyline of Bikini Bottom is shown, features such as buildings, houses and an anchor can be seen. This is most likely Mr. Krabs' house. In earlier episodes of the series, a red flower arch can be seen, which no longer appears in the skyline. In some episodes, a lighthouse appears in the skyline, most likely '''Mrs. Puff's Boating School'''. Other episodes feature the Krusty Krab's Marquee. A large clam-shaped structure, most likely a propeller from a ship, is seen in some episodes.

In the center of Bikini Bottom, the citizens work and live in large, gray buildings made of metal. There are some other forms of buildings, mostly aquatic-themed as seen above. Further out from the town citizens need to use whatever is available and easy to live in, such as Patrick's rock, SpongeBob’s hollowed-out pineapple and the stone monument Squidward lives in.

== Climate ==
Since Bikini Bottom is in the Pacific Ocean below Bikini Atoll, it should have a sunny subtropical climate. It receives rain and snow from the nearby icebergs and having its own ski resort, which sometimes receives snow. The clouds are shaped like flowers, which SpongeBob does not notice until the episode, "[[Pressure]]" where he says; "You know what that cloud looks like? A flower", and Sandy replies, "They all look like flowers, SpongeBob, all the time."

== Inhabitants ==
=== Population ===
The population of Bikini Bottom is uncertain. The creator of the show, Stephen Hillenburg, confirmed that Bikini Bottom is a large city. Before almost leaving the city, Sandy Cheeks sang a song about the city, describing it as "Crowded and Smoggy," which are the characteristics of Los Angeles, although the physical look & feel of Bikini Bottom suggests that it is in fact a much smaller city. A one-time Pretty Patties joint created by SpongeBob attracted 46,853 customers. Almost everyone from the city is there, which may suggest a population of around 50,000 Bikini Bottomites. In the episode, "Squilliam Returns", Squidward mentions Bikini Bottom is a "hick town", meaning it is probably quite small like most hick towns. In addition, in "Krusty Towers", Squidward mentions Bikini Bottom is in the middle of scenic nowhere; which could mean it is very small, which is the criteria of isolated cities.

=== Demographics ===
Bikini Bottom's populace, like that of the rest of the series, consists of various anthropomorphic fish, whales, crabs, sponges, octopi, starfish, anchovies, lobsters, sharks, and most other forms of sea life, including sea monsters. Some forms of sea life, like [[Jellyfish]], seahorses, snails, and worms aren't sentient however, and are treated like pets or wild animals. An example of this is SpongeBob's pet snail, Gary. The first known land creature to live in Bikini Bottom was the Dark Knight, an ancestor of Sandy Cheeks, before the 12th century (Bikini Bottom was then known as Bikini Bottomshire). Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from U.S.A. is (along with [[Jerry]] the Snail and [[Wormy]] the caterpillar) the only land creature seen living in modern Bikini Bottom.

==Housing==
Bikini Bottom has many houses. All of the main characters have one and they are all different.

*[[SpongeBob's House]] - Inhabitants: [[SpongeBob]] and [[Gary]]
*[[Patrick's House]] - Inhabitants: [[Patrick]]
*[[Squidward's House]] - Inhabitants: [[Squidward]] and [[Clary]] (Squidward's clarinet)
*[[Treedome]] - Inhabitants: [[Sandy]]
*[[Mr. Krabs' house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mr. Krabs]] and [[Pearl Krabs]]
*[[Chum Bucket|Planktons House]] - Inhabitants: [[Plankton]] and [[Karen]]
*[[Mama Krabs' house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mama Krabs]]
*[[Mama Tentacles house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mama Tentacles]]
*[[Mrs. Puff's house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mrs. Puff]]

== Animals == [[Image:Zoo.JPG|thumb|right|Oyster Stadium in the Bikini Bottom Zoo]]
In Bikini Bottom, animals are similar to those "animals" in the real world. Some are treated as pets, while others live in the wild.

A majority of "animals" live in the wild. First, [[Jellyfish]] are similar to bees. There are many different types of Jellyfish that live in Bikini Bottom. Pink are the most common. Jellyfish reside mainly in [[Jellyfish Fields]], which has a population of four million Jellyfish. They make and live in hives, another similarity to real-world bees. In earlier episodes, jellyfish were plain pink. And later on, more jellyfish began to appear with spots, but plain pink ones still exist. Jellyfish are similar to cows in that they can be "milked" for their fresh jellyfish jelly. Second, scallops are similar to birds. They are usually found in groups at Goo Lagoon, particularly acting as seagulls. Scallops are usually orange or purple. There is also a colossal clam named Clamu in Oyster Stadium. It's currently a mother of one. Third, '''seaslugs''' were seen in the video game, SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge. They are known to dislike everyone. Fourth, seahorses, which are similar to ''horses'', can be ridden and are very interested in food. SpongeBob kept a Seahorse in the episode, "My Pretty Seahorse" and named it "[[Mystery]]".

Fifth, the "Alaskan Bull Worm" is a large, omnivorous worm that attacked various parts of Bikini Bottom in its sleep in, "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm". It eventually went on to destroy the entire city. Sixth, '''sea urchins''', which are small "bug-like" creatures whose bites cause severe itchiness (a possible similarity to fire ants or mosquitoes). Seventh, Nematodes, which are worm-like creatures that travel in groups and consume common objects by eating or drinking them. They once destroyed SpongeBob's house by sucking the pineapple juice out of it and one time they almost destroyed the Krusty Krab. Other "animals" are treated as pets. Two well-known "pets" are '''snails''' and '''worms'''. Snails are similar to cats (because they "meow") and are common as pets, but they are also known to lurk in alleys and forests. A well-known character Gary the Snail is one of them. Worms are similar to dogs (because they bark) and these are also common as pets. At one point SpongeBob also owned a worm named Rex, an angry snail named Larry and a jellyfish.

==In Different Times==
Bikini bottom dates back to an extremely long time ago.
===Basic Prehistoric Area===
It traces back to when [[Primate Sponge]] and [[Primate Star]] lived. This was seen in the episode, "SB-129". Back then, everything was full of prehistoric jungles and sponge-eating plants.

===Advanced Prehistoric Era===
The Advanced Prehistoric Era was seen in the episode, "Ugh!". In this episode, you saw the lives of [[SpongeGar]], [[Patar]] and [[Squog]]. In this time, things were much more advanced, with a language system and basic housing. There were still only three known housings; SpongeBob's, Patrick's, and Squidward's. There were many jungles. There were also foghorn-like creatures, and [[Prehistoric Krabs]], (Mr. Krabs a la caveman).

===Medieval Times===
Medieval Times was seen in the episode, "Dunces and Dragons". The totalarian tyrant [[Planktonamor]] reigned for a short time until SpongeBob and Patrick were sent by [[King Krabs]] to rescue [[Princess Pearl]] and slay the [[Dragon Jellyfish]].

'''''Places'''''
*King Krab's Castle: 
A massive Castle that King Krabs and Princess Pearl lived in. There was a prophecy on the wall, a guillotine and a dungeon in which [[Squidly]] lived for a short time.
*Planktonamor's Tower: 
Planktonamor's tower was gargantuan and the only things that lived there were [[Planktonamor]], [[Glass Ball Karen]] and the fearsome [[Dragon Jellyfish]]. It contained a huge spiral staircase.
*The Village: 
The Village was the main area of Bikini Bottom in medieval times. There was a hospital, a hotel, Ye Old Bowling Alley, an old-folks home and a massive area of farmland.
*Armor Shop: 
The Armor Shop was a store that sold armor and weapons and even made them. There was only one employee, the owner.

===Western Times===
In Western times, Bikini Bottom is called Dead Eye Gulch in which [[Dead Eye Plankton]] rules the entire town and everything there is owned by Dead Eye Plankton. So every store here except for The Krusty Kantina was named after Dead Eye Plankton, seen in the episode, [[Pest of the West]]. The stores and houses in Dead Eye Gulch are made up of wood. Cacti are seen in most parts. Skulls of dead animals can be seen. Seahorses and coffins are used for transportation.

'''''Places'''''
*The Krusty Kantina: 
The Krusty Kantina is owned by [[Mr. Krabs' Western Ancestor]]. The Krusty Kantina was going bankrupt for [[Dead Eye Plankton]] kept all the money The Krusty Kantina earned. The Krusty Kantina had a stage that [[Mrs. Puff's Western Ancestor]] used to dance. The Krusty Kantina also owned a piano, that worked by putting a coin inside the coin slot. The only one who played the piano was [[Squidward's Western Ancestor]]. The Krusty Kantina only served milk for they were still in search of a fry cook.

*Dead Eye Funeral Parlor and Ice Cream Parlor: 
Dead Eye Funeral Parlor and Ice Cream Parlor is a place where you get hand made coffins and ice cream at the same time.

*Old Dead Tree Hill: 
Old Dead Tree Hill was a cemetery for all of the past sheriffs who had been killed by Dead Eye Plankton; unfortunately this cemetery was already full.

*Boot Hill: 
Dead Eye Boot Hill was the 2nd cemetery built for the past sheriffs that had been killed by Dead Eye Plankton.

===41st century===
In the 41st century, everything will be painted in chrome, and the only residents are the robots [[SpongeTron]], [[Patron]] and the chrome-workers. The only place seen in the 41st century was the futuristic [[Krusty Krab]]. [[Squidward]] traveled here by running into a freezer to hide, and then getting stuck and freezing himself solid until SpongeTron found him many, many years later.

==Trade==
===Restaurants/Eatery's and Bars===

*The Krusty Krab
The Krusty Krab is Bikini Bottom's premier eatery. It is made up of the kitchen, bathroom, eating area and Mr. Krabs' office.

-Employees: SpongeBob and Squidward

-Manager: Mr. Eugene Krabs

*Chum Bucket
This is a restaurant run by Plankton. He never got a single customer. In one episode, Plankton says,"I only got one customer. There he is." He then points to a dead rat on one of the tables, next to a partly bitten Chum Burger.

-Manager: Sheldon J. Plankton

== Crimes/Police and Laws== [[Image:Polizeidezernat2.JPG|thumb|right|The Police Department]]
===Government===
Bikini Bottom's government, although uncertain, is set up just as it would be in the real world. There were many rulers and Royalty though, such as [[King Krabs]], [[Princess Pearl]], [[King Neptune]], [[Mindy]] and even [[Plankton]].

In the episode, "Good Neighbors", Bikini Bottom is mentioned to have a president, and a mayor is seen in several episodes. Although in the episode, "Rule of Dumb", Patrick Star became [[King Patrick]] and was a king for a short time. Then followed behind him was Gary the Snail.

===Law===
These are some of the laws in Bikini Bottom, which are similar to that of United States laws. No stealing, murder, parking in a No Parking Zone, parking next to a fire hydrant, littering, driving blindfolded, public nudity, running through red lights whether driving or actually running, and others.
[[Image:Gericht.jpg|thumb|right|The Courthouse]]
Bikini Bottom has a courthouse, in which trials take place like any American city court, except there was no prosecutor. The only known two trials shown were in the episodes, "Krabs vs. Plankton" and "The Krusty Sponge".
Plankton sued Mr. Krabs for falling on the Krusty Krab floor when there was no wet floor sign. Plankton sued for everything of what Mr. Krabs had. [[Judge StickleBack]] headed the trial, and due to a fall, Defendant Eugene Krabs' lawyer was unable to defend.

SpongeBob, (posing as SpongeBob LawyerPants) became Mr. Krabs' new lawyer. The trial resulted in a victory for the defendant. In the episode, "The Krusty Sponge", Mr. Krabs was arrested for poisoning his customers with the Spongy Patties. The jury reached a 'guilty' verdict, but after seeing the judge with a SpongeBob gavel, Mr. Krabs asked for permission to approach the bench. The scene cuts to the judge in the [[Krusty Sponge]] train with Squidward driving. Mr. Krabs tells [[Judge Horace A. Whopper]] that he can go around as many times as he wants.

===Crime=== [[Image:Gefaengnis.jpg|thumb|right|The Bikini Bottom Prison]]
Bikini Bottom has its fair share of criminals such as Plankton and the [[TattleTale Strangler]]. Mr. Krabs has been known to steal, or "borrow" as he calls it. Mrs. Puff or Squidward are always blamed for the crimes actually committed by [[SpongeBob]] or [[Patrick]] and are either arrested or fined to do community service. At one point, a bomb exploded inside the [[Krusty Krab]], and as a result, a hole was made in the rear of the building. The bomb itself, which had the total energy of a nuclear bomb had been made in a factory. Or so the pirates who sold it to Squidward said. There is also the punishment of execution by King Neptune, such as for stealing his crown. Bikini Bottom has two prisons: The Institution for the Criminally Tiny and Bikini Bottom Jail for everyone else. The underwater city has its own courthouse, headed by a female fish judge. In future episodes, the judge is a male. The Bikini Bottom Police Department is a reasonably fair organization, despite arresting citizens for no real reason whatsoever, and has been known to imprison SpongeBob and Patrick for their crime of stealing balloons and then releasing them to tell the two that it was National Free Balloon Day. In the game SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, the army makes an appearance. It seems the army is made out of helicopters with giant nets (used to capture Plankton), tanks that shoot blue flames, special laser machines, electric fields and bomb-throwing tanks.

===Military/Defense===
Besides the [[Bikini Bottom Police Force]], Bikini Bottom has two known forms of defense. It probably has a military for in the episode Good Neighbors a military tank can be seen with a soldier inside. It is also unknown if Bikini Bottom has any military installations. Mr. Krabs served in the Navy, and the Navy has been mentioned in a few episodes. There has also been a navy reunion in the episode: [[Shell of a Man]]

== Education ==
[[Image:Fahrschule.JPG|thumb|right|[[Mrs. Puff]] Boating School]]

*Mrs. Puff's Boating School
The Boating School runs by [[Mrs. Puff]]. The Superintendent is [[Mr. Fitz]], and the place was once ran by [[Sergeant Roderick]]
*Poseidon Elementary School
The place where [[Plankton]] and [[Mr. Krabs]] went to school.
*Community College
The Place where [[Flats the Flounder]] and [[Patrick]] went.
*The Wreck Center/Adult Learning Center
An area where there are Cooking and Art Lessons. Squidward has taught there.
* Bikini Bottom High School
The place where [[Pearl Krabs]] and her friends go to school. There is as Gym where dances are held.
*Bikini Bottom Elementary
The younger kid’s school.

== Transportation ==
Bikini Bottom has a wide array of different transportation systems. As in the real world, roads and highways serve Bikini Bottom's buses, taxis, and boats (boats are the underwater equivalent of cars). An airport is seen in Bikini Bottom, as well as a lighthouse near the edge of [[Goo Lagoon]]; helping to avoid late night accidents.

Bikini Bottom's main road is Conch Street. Conch Street runs from SpongeBob's, Patrick's, and Squidward's houses, past the [[Krusty Krab]] and the [[Chum Bucket]], and stretches as far as downtown Bikini Bottom. It intersects with Coral Avenue, which is located in downtown Bikini Bottom. A series of highways run just on the outskirts of the city, and in the middle of downtown, a thruway is present. A road leads from [[Atlantis]] to Bikini Bottom, as seen in The [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] Movie. Another road leads from Bikini Bottom to Rock Bottom, which goes past [[Glove World]] Theme Park. An interesting feature of this road is that for a distance it runs straight down a cliff. The only ways up from the bottom are by bus or with a balloon.

The name of the city bus service is Snailways. This bus service stops almost everywhere in Bikini Bottom and beyond (much like a Greyhound Bus). [[Sandy Cheeks]] mentioned in a deleted scene of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie that buses run from Shell City to Bikini Bottom, although SpongeBob and Patrick took alternative transport by riding [[David Hasselhoff]]. Like any city, Bikini Bottom has a huge traffic issue, with roads and highways clogged up even in the afternoon. It is very common for somebody coming back from work to be stuck in traffic. The bus drivers do not drive always great because they always stop when you do not want them to.

== Health ==
The wellbeing of an average Bikini Bottomite is unknown, but Bikini Bottom has a few hospitals and help centers.

*Bikini Bottom Hospital
This hospital is seen in quite a few episodes. [[Dr. Gill Gilliam]], the most well known doctor works here.

*Weenie Hut General
Weenie Hut General is another hospital for softer folk.

*A Veterinarian Clinic (Unconfirmed)
In the episode, "Band Geeks", Dr. Gill Gilliam calls Squidward and asks him if there was a dying animal on the premises of his house. It is not confirmed though, and he was referring to his clarinet playing (making it evident that he thought Squidward's playing was like a dying animal)

== Environment ==
Bikini Bottom is shown to be quite a clean city. Littering is highly prohibited, and the areas around Bikini Bottom are pristine. The only problem is that with high population and the amount of automobiles Bikini Bottom can become very smoggy, as mentioned by Sandy in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Global [[Image:Industriepark.jpg|thumb|right| Industry Park]] warming has also affected Bikini Bottom, as seen in the educational short, "[[The Endless Summer]]." In "Industrial Park”, there are many toxic chemicals and pollution.

== Culture ==
The culture of the city is a caricature of contemporary American culture. 
The Arts give Bikini Bottom a better outlook on knowledge and creativity. Bikini Bottom houses two museums: The Fry Cook Museum and the Hook Museum. Bikini Bottom also has a music hall, a convention hall, and an Art Society. Squidward Tentacles contributes highly to many of the arts and music Bikini Bottom has to offer.

Entertainment in Bikini Bottom contributes to the social interaction within the city. There is the Bubble Bowl, [[Goofy Goober]]'s Ice Cream Party Boat (for the kids), [[Weenie Hut Juniors]]., Super Weenie Hut Jr., and the [[Salty Spitoon]] club (for strong people only), [[the Thug Tug]] and Tough Tavern bars (for tough men only) and The Reef Theatre (cinema). The Krusty Krab houses entertainment with shows such as the Annual Squidward Tentacles Talent Show (featuring the unpopular Squidward Live segment), the [[Komedy Krab]] and "Live Nude Pranksters", which featured an unclothed SpongeBob and Patrick. In addition, a popular band called "[[Ned and the Needlefish]]" started in Bikini Bottom.
[[Image:Hakenmuseum.jpg|thumb|right|The Hook Museum]]

== Media ==
Bikini Bottom has many forms of media. News, magazines, radio, and television contribute to Bikini Bottom's wide spread of news and entertainment.

*Bikini Bottom News Flash. The city paper is called the Bikini Times. It features the regular news, as well as daily comics. One of the comics is called The Wisenheimers. There is another newspaper that is called the Bikini Bottom Inquirer, which is a parody of The National Inquirer.

*There are two science magazines called 'Fake Science Monthly' and 'Boring Science Digest' seen in the episode: [[The Camping Episode]]. Another magazine is called '[[Fancy Living Digest]]'. There is another magazine that is called, 'Long, Tan and Handsome', . There are two dance magazines: 'Dance Now' and 'Interpretive Dance Quarterly'. Another magazine is '[[Squid Ink.]]'

*There are many singers and there also appears to be boy bands and rock bands; the first being "[[Boys Who Cry]]" that Pearl enjoys and "Stingray 5000" that Patrick happily found in the dumpster, and "[[Ned and the Needlefish]]", who appear in the episode: [[Wigstruck]].

*there is [[Bikini Bottom News]] (television newscast anchored by [[Perch Perkins]] and the Realistic Fish Head) and many different TV channels such as Sport, Lifestyle, and a "Secret Channel"

== Religion ==
The main religion in Bikini Bottom is uncertain; the citizens of Bikini Bottom worship the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. The movie shows this, and there is evidence in the episodes. There are phrases such as "Oh Neptune!", "Neptune's gentle creatures", and "Where in the name of Neptune". However, Sandy may be Christian since she is a land critter from Texas, and she brought Christmas down to Bikini Bottom (even though Santa Claus did not come and Squidward had to give away everything but his new clarinet instead). In the episode: [[Enemy In-Law]], Mr. Krabs is shown stealing a hat from a church. There are different beliefs/clubs such as, Club SpongeBob, Goofy Goober Clubs and the Royal Good Neighbor Lodge

== Sports ==
It is most likely that in Bikini Bottom, most of the citizens enjoy American football. SpongeBob frequently watches the sport in his spare time. Squidward had dreams of becoming a Wide Receiver. Sporting events occur in Bikini Bottom, such as the Fry Cook Games (parody of the Olympic Games), the Great Snail Race, and the Anchor Toss Competition.

*Every year Bikini Bottom is been having the '''Fry Cook Games''' (a spoof of the Olympic Games but with fast food). The Fry Cook Games are held at Bikini Bottom's [[Fast Food Coliseum]]. The first annual competition was held in 1981. Eugene H. Krabs and Sheldon J. Plankton went head to head against each other until the 21st Fry Cook Games in 2001. There, SpongeBob SquarePants represented the [[Krusty Krab]], and Patrick Star represented The Chum Bucket. In the 21st Fry Cook Games, there were 8 events. The tiebreaker was bun wrestling. The winner was never determined.

*The '''Great Snail Race''' is an annual race between snails at [[Oyster Stadium]], which is located in the Bikini Bottom Zoo. At the pre-game ceremony, of the 102nd Running of the Snail, Lightning Larry Luciano (The winner of the first race) lights the Torch of Good Sportsmanship (although very slowly). After the torch is lit, the games begin. The first snail to make it across the finish line, wins. The result of the 102nd race ended with Rocky (won by default, owned by Patrick Star, actually a Pet Rock) in first place, [[Snellie]] (owned by Squidward Tentacles) in second place, and Gary (disqualified, owned by SpongeBob SquarePants) in last place, disqualified due to the coach running on to the race track. Patrick had the trophy engraved to Squidward Tortellini (mistaken for [[Squidward Tentacles]]), because he had wanted to win very badly.

*The '''Anchor Toss Competition''' is a contest of strong ocean dwellers tossing a large anchor on a 510+ yard field. A referee goes and measures the distance between the tosser and the anchor, but is constantly hit by it. SpongeBob was part of the contest, along with Sandy Cheeks, Don the Whale, and Larry the Lobster. Sandy entered SpongeBob’s name because of how big his muscles were. SpongeBob's muscles were actually fake.
*'''Jellyfishing''' is a fictional sport that is similar to fishing. It involves hunting [[Jellyfish]] using a wooden net and a plastic jar. The sport was first introduced in the episode "Jellyfishing." In the episode, the characters SpongeBob and Patrick take their neighbor Squidward to Jellyfish Fields, where many episode plots involving jellyfishing would be set in. [[Nickelodeon]], the cable TV network that owns the rights to SpongeBob SquarePants, has released two products based on the sport. They are slumber bags and wall borders.

*'''Bubble blowing''' is another hobby in Bikini bottom. However, the only bubble blowers known are SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, although Squidward has blown bubbles before. SpongeBob once set up [[The Bubblestand]] in the episode: [[Bubblestand]] and charged 25 cents for bubble blowing; 25 cents for lessons. There is a special technique to bubble blowing: "First go like this, spin around. Stop. Double take 3 times: 1, 2, 3, then, pelvic thrust. Stop on your right foot, don’t forget it. Then bring it around town. Then you do this, then this, and this, then this, then that, then this and that." Some awkward shapes of bubbles include an elephant, butterflies, worms, among others. Two bubble-themed episodes are "Bubblestand" and "Bubble Buddy."

Other sports include those that are played by people in the real world, such as weight lifting, swimming, volleyball, [[Karate]], and hot dog eating contests. Weight lifting is very popular at Goo Lagoon. There are even weight lifting competitions at Goo Lagoon. SpongeBob even has a small fitness center at his house. However, instead of weights, SpongeBob uses stuffed animals (rabbits) as weights. SpongeBob has used a stick with two marshmallows attached to it, which he could not lift. Swimming is a very popular sport at Goo Lagoon. There are small circular pools elsewhere in the city. Volleyball is just like the real sport. In Bikini Bottom, volleyball is played at Goo Lagoon. Karate is a popular sport for SpongeBob and Sandy. Some Karate moves include the Double Overhand Squirrel Knot, the Squirrel, and the Tin Cans. Two Karate-themed episodes are "Karate Choppers" and "[[Karate Island]]." A hot dog eating contest is briefly shown during the episode "[[SpongeGuard on Duty]]".

== Holidays ==
Bikini Bottom has its share of holidays. It has five main holidays, as in the real world like:
* '''Valentine's Day''' (February 14),

Bikini Bottom

[[Image:Bikini Bottom.jpg|thumb|right|Bikini Bottom]]
'''Bikini Bottom''' is a fictional city that appears in the Nickelodeon animated television series, [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]. Located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, it is where the series' main characters live, and where most of the episodes take place.

Bikini Bottom is similar to an average American city. The city consists of various businesses, including restaurants, stores, and manufacturers. The city has a stable economy, a balanced education and health systems, a structured government, and a firm law enforcement system. There are even stadiums, amusement parks, and other recreational facilities. Bikini Bottom first was mentioned in the episode: [[Plankton!]] but first appeared in the episode: [[Hall Monitor]].

== Location ==
Bikini Bottom is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, below to its signature island, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll Bikini Atoll], according to [[Stephen Hillenburg]]. There are many instances of proof on the show: After being scared off by ghosts, [[Sandy Cheeks]] evacuated to Texas. She was seen flying east from the Pacific Ocean. In the Employee of the Month computer game, a fish mentions that Bikini Bottom is located in the Pacific Ocean. In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, when SpongeBob was singing the "Goofy Goober Rock", the camera rose out of the water into outer space. When it did, it came out of the Pacific Ocean. In the TV commercial "[[Plankton's Holiday Hits]]", Bikini Bottom is revealed to be part of the United States, and its residents Americans. Bikini Bottom is placed beneath its namesake island, Bikini Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean. Bikini Bottom's location at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is mentioned or referred to in several different episodes, and in the movie, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

==Landscapes/Geography== [[Image:Deponie.JPG|thumb|right|The Bikini Bottom Dump]]
Bikini Bottom's geography is shown as consisting of mountains, dense forests, lakes, lagoons, caves, grasslands, reefs and rivers. In "[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]", volcanoes, trenches and deserts are shown in the surrounding region. Major geographic features have colorful names including:
*[[Goo Lagoon]]
*[[Sand Mountain]]
*[[Jellyfish Fields]]
*[[Kelp Forest]]
*Make-Out Reef
*Ancient Mariner Valley (the location of [[King Neptune|Neptune]]'s Paradise.)
*Palm Bay
*[[Brain Coral]] Fields
*Sulfur Fields
*Industrial Park
*[[Mermalair]]
* [[Mount Climb-Up-and-Fall-Off]]
*[[Sea Needle]]

The city is divided by its main road, '''Conch Street''', which runs from downtown and past the homes of SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick, through the '''Krusty Krab''' restaurant, '''The Chum Bucket''' and the '''Reef Theatre''' cinema.

In every episode in which the skyline of Bikini Bottom is shown, features such as buildings, houses and an anchor can be seen. This is most likely Mr. Krabs' house. In earlier episodes of the series, a red flower arch can be seen, which no longer appears in the skyline. In some episodes, a lighthouse appears in the skyline, most likely '''Mrs. Puff's Boating School'''. Other episodes feature the Krusty Krab's Marquee. A large clam-shaped structure, most likely a propeller from a ship, is seen in some episodes.

In the center of Bikini Bottom, the citizens work and live in large, gray buildings made of metal. There are some other forms of buildings, mostly aquatic-themed as seen above. Further out from the town citizens need to use whatever is available and easy to live in, such as Patrick's rock, SpongeBob’s hollowed-out pineapple and the stone monument Squidward lives in.

== Climate ==
Since Bikini Bottom is in the Pacific Ocean below Bikini Atoll, it should have a sunny subtropical climate. It receives rain and snow from the nearby icebergs and having its own ski resort, which sometimes receives snow. The clouds are shaped like flowers, which SpongeBob does not notice until the episode, "[[Pressure]]" where he says; "You know what that cloud looks like? A flower", and Sandy replies, "They all look like flowers, SpongeBob, all the time."

== Inhabitants ==
=== Population ===
The population of Bikini Bottom is uncertain. The creator of the show, Stephen Hillenburg, confirmed that Bikini Bottom is a large city. Before almost leaving the city, Sandy Cheeks sang a song about the city, describing it as "Crowded and Smoggy," which are the characteristics of Los Angeles, although the physical look & feel of Bikini Bottom suggests that it is in fact a much smaller city. A one-time Pretty Patties joint created by SpongeBob attracted 46,853 customers. Almost everyone from the city is there, which may suggest a population of around 50,000 Bikini Bottomites. In the episode, "Squilliam Returns", Squidward mentions Bikini Bottom is a "hick town", meaning it is probably quite small like most hick towns. In addition, in "Krusty Towers", Squidward mentions Bikini Bottom is in the middle of scenic nowhere; which could mean it is very small, which is the criteria of isolated cities.

=== Demographics ===
Bikini Bottom's populace, like that of the rest of the series, consists of various anthropomorphic fish, whales, crabs, sponges, octopi, starfish, anchovies, lobsters, sharks, and most other forms of sea life, including sea monsters. Some forms of sea life, like [[Jellyfish]], seahorses, snails, and worms aren't sentient however, and are treated like pets or wild animals. An example of this is SpongeBob's pet snail, Gary. The first known land creature to live in Bikini Bottom was the Dark Knight, an ancestor of Sandy Cheeks, before the 12th century (Bikini Bottom was then known as Bikini Bottomshire). Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from U.S.A. is (along with [[Jerry]] the Snail and [[Wormy]] the caterpillar) the only land creature seen living in modern Bikini Bottom.

==Housing==
Bikini Bottom has many houses. All of the main characters have one and they are all different.

*[[SpongeBob's House]] - Inhabitants: [[SpongeBob]] and [[Gary]]
*[[Patrick's House]] - Inhabitants: [[Patrick]]
*[[Squidward's House]] - Inhabitants: [[Squidward]] and [[Clary]] (Squidward's clarinet)
*[[Treedome]] - Inhabitants: [[Sandy]]
*[[Mr. Krabs' house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mr. Krabs]] and [[Pearl Krabs]]
*[[Chum Bucket|Planktons House]] - Inhabitants: [[Plankton]] and [[Karen]]
*[[Mama Krabs' house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mama Krabs]]
*[[Mama Tentacles house - Inhabitants: [[Mama Tentacles]]
*[[Mrs. Puff's house]] - Inhabitants: [[Mrs. Puff]]

== Animals == [[Image:Zoo.JPG|thumb|right|Oyster Stadium in the Bikini Bottom Zoo]]
In Bikini Bottom, animals are similar to those "animals" in the real world. Some are treated as pets, while others live in the wild.

A majority of "animals" live in the wild. First, [[Jellyfish]] are similar to bees. There are many different types of Jellyfish that live in Bikini Bottom. Pink are the most common. Jellyfish reside mainly in [[Jellyfish Fields]], which has a population of four million Jellyfish. They make and live in hives, another similarity to real-world bees. In earlier episodes, jellyfish were plain pink. And later on, more jellyfish began to appear with spots, but plain pink ones still exist. Jellyfish are similar to cows in that they can be "milked" for their fresh jellyfish jelly. Second, scallops are similar to birds. They are usually found in groups at Goo Lagoon, particularly acting as seagulls. Scallops are usually orange or purple. There is also a colossal clam named Clamu in Oyster Stadium. It's currently a mother of one. Third, '''seaslugs''' were seen in the video game, SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge. They are known to dislike everyone. Fourth, seahorses, which are similar to ''horses'', can be ridden and are very interested in food. SpongeBob kept a Seahorse in the episode, "My Pretty Seahorse" and named it "[[Mystery]]".

Fifth, the "Alaskan Bull Worm" is a large, omnivorous worm that attacked various parts of Bikini Bottom in its sleep in, "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm". It eventually went on to destroy the entire city. Sixth, '''sea urchins''', which are small "bug-like" creatures whose bites cause severe itchiness (a possible similarity to fire ants or mosquitoes). Seventh, Nematodes, which are worm-like creatures that travel in groups and consume common objects by eating or drinking them. They once destroyed SpongeBob's house by sucking the pineapple juice out of it and one time they almost destroyed the Krusty Krab. Other "animals" are treated as pets. Two well-known "pets" are '''snails''' and '''worms'''. Snails are similar to cats (because they "meow") and are common as pets, but they are also known to lurk in alleys and forests. A well-known character Gary the Snail is one of them. Worms are similar to dogs (because they bark) and these are also common as pets. At one point SpongeBob also owned a worm named Rex, an angry snail named Larry and a jellyfish.

==In Different Times==
Bikini bottom dates back to an extremely long time ago.
===Basic Prehistoric Area===
It traces back to when [[Primate Sponge]] and [[Primate Star]] lived. This was seen in the episode, "SB-129". Back then, everything was full of prehistoric jungles and sponge-eating plants.

===Advanced Prehistoric Era===
The Advanced Prehistoric Era was seen in the episode, "Ugh!". In this episode, you saw the lives of [[SpongeGar]], [[Patar]] and [[Squog]]. In this time, things were much more advanced, with a language system and basic housing. There were still only three known housings; SpongeBob's, Patrick's, and Squidward's. There were many jungles. There were also foghorn-like creatures, and [[Prehistoric Krabs]], (Mr. Krabs a la caveman).

===Medieval Times===
Medieval Times was seen in the episode, "Dunces and Dragons". The totalarian tyrant [[Planktonamor]] reigned for a short time until SpongeBob and Patrick were sent by [[King Krabs]] to rescue [[Princess Pearl]] and slay the [[Dragon Jellyfish]].

'''''Places'''''
*King Krab's Castle: 
A massive Castle that King Krabs and Princess Pearl lived in. There was a prophecy on the wall, a guillotine and a dungeon in which [[Squidly]] lived for a short time.
*Planktonamor's Tower: 
Planktonamor's tower was gargantuan and the only things that lived there were [[Planktonamor]], [[Glass Ball Karen]] and the fearsome [[Dragon Jellyfish]]. It contained a huge spiral staircase.
*The Village: 
The Village was the main area of Bikini Bottom in medieval times. There was a hospital, a hotel, Ye Old Bowling Alley, an old-folks home and a massive area of farmland.
*Armor Shop: 
The Armor Shop was a store that sold armor and weapons and even made them. There was only one employee, the owner.

===Western Times===
In Western times, Bikini Bottom is called Dead Eye Gulch in which [[Dead Eye Plankton]] rules the entire town and everything there is owned by Dead Eye Plankton. So every store here except for The Krusty Kantina was named after Dead Eye Plankton, seen in the episode, [[Pest of the West]]. The stores and houses in Dead Eye Gulch are made up of wood. Cacti are seen in most parts. Skulls of dead animals can be seen. Seahorses and coffins are used for transportation.

'''''Places'''''
*The Krusty Kantina: 
The Krusty Kantina is owned by [[Mr. Krabs' Western Ancestor]]. The Krusty Kantina was going bankrupt for [[Dead Eye Plankton]] kept all the money The Krusty Kantina earned. The Krusty Kantina had a stage that [[Mrs. Puff's Western Ancestor]] used to dance. The Krusty Kantina also owned a piano, that worked by putting a coin inside the coin slot. The only one who played the piano was [[Squidward's Western Ancestor]]. The Krusty Kantina only served milk for they were still in search of a fry cook.

*Dead Eye Funeral Parlor and Ice Cream Parlor: 
Dead Eye Funeral Parlor and Ice Cream Parlor is a place where you get hand made coffins and ice cream at the same time.

*Old Dead Tree Hill: 
Old Dead Tree Hill was a cemetery for all of the past sheriffs who had been killed by Dead Eye Plankton; unfortunately this cemetery was already full.

*Boot Hill: 
Dead Eye Boot Hill was the 2nd cemetery built for the past sheriffs that had been killed by Dead Eye Plankton.

===41st century===
In the 41st century, everything will be painted in chrome, and the only residents are the robots [[SpongeTron]], [[Patron]] and the chrome-workers. The only place seen in the 41st century was the futuristic [[Krusty Krab]]. [[Squidward]] traveled here by running into a freezer to hide, and then getting stuck and freezing himself solid until SpongeTron found him many, many years later.

==Trade==
===Restaurants/Eatery's and Bars===

*The Krusty Krab
The Krusty Krab is Bikini Bottom's premier eatery. It is made up of the kitchen, bathroom, eating area and Mr. Krabs' office.

-Employees: SpongeBob and Squidward

-Manager: Mr. Eugene Krabs

*Chum Bucket
This is a restaurant run by Plankton. He never got a single customer. In one episode, Plankton says,"I only got one customer. There he is." He then points to a dead rat on one of the tables, next to a partly bitten Chum Burger.

-Manager: Sheldon J. Plankton

== Crimes/Police and Laws== [[Image:Polizeidezernat2.JPG|thumb|right|The Police Department]]
===Government===
Bikini Bottom's government, although uncertain, is set up just as it would be in the real world. There were many rulers and Royalty though, such as [[King Krabs]], [[Princess Pearl]], [[King Neptune]], [[Mindy]] and even [[Plankton]].

In the episode, "Good Neighbors", Bikini Bottom is mentioned to have a president, and a mayor is seen in several episodes. Although in the episode, "Rule of Dumb", Patrick Star became [[King Patrick]] and was a king for a short time. Then followed behind him was Gary the Snail.

===Law===
These are some of the laws in Bikini Bottom, which are similar to that of United States laws. No stealing, murder, parking in a No Parking Zone, parking next to a fire hydrant, littering, driving blindfolded, public nudity, running through red lights whether driving or actually running, and others.
[[Image:Gericht.jpg|thumb|right|The Courthouse]]
Bikini Bottom has a courthouse, in which trials take place like any American city court, except there was no prosecutor. The only known two trials shown were in the episodes, "Krabs vs. Plankton" and "The Krusty Sponge".
Plankton sued Mr. Krabs for falling on the Krusty Krab floor when there was no wet floor sign. Plankton sued for everything of what Mr. Krabs had. [[Judge StickleBack]] headed the trial, and due to a fall, Defendant Eugene Krabs' lawyer was unable to defend.

SpongeBob, (posing as SpongeBob LawyerPants) became Mr. Krabs' new lawyer. The trial resulted in a victory for the defendant. In the episode, "The Krusty Sponge", Mr. Krabs was arrested for poisoning his customers with the Spongy Patties. The jury reached a 'guilty' verdict, but after seeing the judge with a SpongeBob gavel, Mr. Krabs asked for permission to approach the bench. The scene cuts to the judge in the [[Krusty Sponge]] train with Squidward driving. Mr. Krabs tells [[Judge Horace A. Whopper]] that he can go around as many times as he wants.

===Crime=== [[Image:Gefaengnis.jpg|thumb|right|The Bikini Bottom Prison]]
Bikini Bottom has its fair share of criminals such as Plankton and the [[TattleTale Strangler]]. Mr. Krabs has been known to steal, or "borrow" as he calls it. Mrs. Puff or Squidward are always blamed for the crimes actually committed by [[SpongeBob]] or [[Patrick]] and are either arrested or fined to do community service. At one point, a bomb exploded inside the [[Krusty Krab]], and as a result, a hole was made in the rear of the building. The bomb itself, which had the total energy of a nuclear bomb had been made in a factory. Or so the pirates who sold it to Squidward said. There is also the punishment of execution by King Neptune, such as for stealing his crown. Bikini Bottom has two prisons: The Institution for the Criminally Tiny and Bikini Bottom Jail for everyone else. The underwater city has its own courthouse, headed by a female fish judge. In future episodes, the judge is a male. The Bikini Bottom Police Department is a reasonably fair organization, despite arresting citizens for no real reason whatsoever, and has been known to imprison SpongeBob and Patrick for their crime of stealing balloons and then releasing them to tell the two that it was National Free Balloon Day. In the game SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, the army makes an appearance. It seems the army is made out of helicopters with giant nets (used to capture Plankton), tanks that shoot blue flames, special laser machines, electric fields and bomb-throwing tanks.

===Military/Defense===
Besides the [[Bikini Bottom Police Force]], Bikini Bottom has two known forms of defense. It probably has a military for in the episode Good Neighbors a military tank can be seen with a soldier inside. It is also unknown if Bikini Bottom has any military installations. Mr. Krabs served in the Navy, and the Navy has been mentioned in a few episodes. There has also been a navy reunion in the episode: [[Shell of a Man]]

== Education ==
[[Image:Fahrschule.JPG|thumb|right|[[Mrs. Puff]] Boating School]]

*Mrs. Puff's Boating School
The Boating School runs by [[Mrs. Puff]]. The Superintendent is [[Mr. Fitz]], and the place was once ran by [[Sergeant Roderick]]
*Poseidon Elementary School
The place where [[Plankton]] and [[Mr. Krabs]] went to school.
*Community College
The Place where [[Flats the Flounder]] and [[Patrick]] went.
*The Wreck Center/Adult Learning Center
An area where there are Cooking and Art Lessons. Squidward has taught there.
* Bikini Bottom High School
The place where [[Pearl Krabs]] and her friends go to school. There is as Gym where dances are held.
*Bikini Bottom Elementary
The younger kid’s school.

== Transportation ==
Bikini Bottom has a wide array of different transportation systems. As in the real world, roads and highways serve Bikini Bottom's buses, taxis, and boats (boats are the underwater equivalent of cars). An airport is seen in Bikini Bottom, as well as a lighthouse near the edge of [[Goo Lagoon]]; helping to avoid late night accidents.

Bikini Bottom's main road is Conch Street. Conch Street runs from SpongeBob's, Patrick's, and Squidward's houses, past the [[Krusty Krab]] and the [[Chum Bucket]], and stretches as far as downtown Bikini Bottom. It intersects with Coral Avenue, which is located in downtown Bikini Bottom. A series of highways run just on the outskirts of the city, and in the middle of downtown, a thruway is present. A road leads from [[Atlantis]] to Bikini Bottom, as seen in The [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] Movie. Another road leads from Bikini Bottom to Rock Bottom, which goes past [[Glove World]] Theme Park. An interesting feature of this road is that for a distance it runs straight down a cliff. The only ways up from the bottom are by bus or with a balloon.

The name of the city bus service is Snailways. This bus service stops almost everywhere in Bikini Bottom and beyond (much like a Greyhound Bus). [[Sandy Cheeks]] mentioned in a deleted scene of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie that buses run from Shell City to Bikini Bottom, although SpongeBob and Patrick took alternative transport by riding [[David Hasselhoff]]. Like any city, Bikini Bottom has a huge traffic issue, with roads and highways clogged up even in the afternoon. It is very common for somebody coming back from work to be stuck in traffic. The bus drivers do not drive always great because they always stop when you do not want them to.

== Health ==
The wellbeing of an average Bikini Bottomite is unknown, but Bikini Bottom has a few hospitals and help centers.

*Bikini Bottom Hospital
This hospital is seen in quite a few episodes. [[Dr. Gill Gilliam]], the most well known doctor works here.

*Weenie Hut General
Weenie Hut General is another hospital for softer folk.

*A Veterinarian Clinic (Unconfirmed)
In the episode, "Band Geeks", Dr. Gill Gilliam calls Squidward and asks him if there was a dying animal on the premises of his house. It is not confirmed though, and he was referring to his clarinet playing (making it evident that he thought Squidward's playing was like a dying animal)

== Environment ==
Bikini Bottom is shown to be quite a clean city. Littering is highly prohibited, and the areas around Bikini Bottom are pristine. The only problem is that with high population and the amount of automobiles Bikini Bottom can become very smoggy, as mentioned by Sandy in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Global [[Image:Industriepark.jpg|thumb|right| Industry Park]] warming has also affected Bikini Bottom, as seen in the educational short, "[[The Endless Summer]]." In "Industrial Park”, there are many toxic chemicals and pollution.

== Culture ==
The culture of the city is a caricature of contemporary American culture. 
The Arts give Bikini Bottom a better outlook on knowledge and creativity. Bikini Bottom houses two museums: The Fry Cook Museum and the Hook Museum. Bikini Bottom also has a music hall, a convention hall, and an Art Society. Squidward Tentacles contributes highly to many of the arts and music Bikini Bottom has to offer.

Entertainment in Bikini Bottom contributes to the social interaction within the city. There is the Bubble Bowl, [[Goofy Goober]]'s Ice Cream Party Boat (for the kids), [[Weenie Hut Juniors]]., Super Weenie Hut Jr., and the [[Salty Spitoon]] club (for strong people only), [[the Thug Tug]] and Tough Tavern bars (for tough men only) and The Reef Theatre (cinema). The Krusty Krab houses entertainment with shows such as the Annual Squidward Tentacles Talent Show (featuring the unpopular Squidward Live segment), the [[Komedy Krab]] and "Live Nude Pranksters", which featured an unclothed SpongeBob and Patrick. In addition, a popular band called "[[Ned and the Needlefish]]" started in Bikini Bottom.
[[Image:Hakenmuseum.jpg|thumb|right|The Hook Museum]]

== Media ==
Bikini Bottom has many forms of media. News, magazines, radio, and television contribute to Bikini Bottom's wide spread of news and entertainment.

*Bikini Bottom News Flash. The city paper is called the Bikini Times. It features the regular news, as well as daily comics. One of the comics is called The Wisenheimers. There is another newspaper that is called the Bikini Bottom Inquirer, which is a parody of The National Inquirer.

*There are two science magazines called 'Fake Science Monthly' and 'Boring Science Digest' seen in the episode: [[The Camping Episode]]. Another magazine is called '[[Fancy Living Digest]]'. There is another magazine that is called, 'Long, Tan and Handsome', . There are two dance magazines: 'Dance Now' and 'Interpretive Dance Quarterly'. Another magazine is '[[Squid Ink.]]'

*There are many singers and there also appears to be boy bands and rock bands; the first being "[[Boys Who Cry]]" that Pearl enjoys and "Stingray 5000" that Patrick happily found in the dumpster, and "[[Ned and the Needlefish]]", who appear in the episode: [[Wigstruck]].

*there is [[Bikini Bottom News]] (television newscast anchored by [[Perch Perkins]] and the Realistic Fish Head) and many different TV channels such as Sport, Lifestyle, and a "Secret Channel"

== Religion ==
The main religion in Bikini Bottom is uncertain; the citizens of Bikini Bottom worship the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. The movie shows this, and there is evidence in the episodes. There are phrases such as "Oh Neptune!", "Neptune's gentle creatures", and "Where in the name of Neptune". However, Sandy may be Christian since she is a land critter from Texas, and she brought Christmas down to Bikini Bottom (even though Santa Claus did not come and Squidward had to give away everything but his new clarinet instead). In the episode: [[Enemy In-Law]], Mr. Krabs is shown stealing a hat from a church. There are different beliefs/clubs such as, Club SpongeBob, Goofy Goober Clubs and the Royal Good Neighbor Lodge

== Sports ==
It is most likely that in Bikini Bottom, most of the citizens enjoy American football. SpongeBob frequently watches the sport in his spare time. Squidward had dreams of becoming a Wide Receiver. Sporting events occur in Bikini Bottom, such as the Fry Cook Games (parody of the Olympic Games), the Great Snail Race, and the Anchor Toss Competition.

*Every year Bikini Bottom is been having the '''Fry Cook Games''' (a spoof of the Olympic Games but with fast food). The Fry Cook Games are held at Bikini Bottom's [[Fast Food Coliseum]]. The first annual competition was held in 1981. Eugene H. Krabs and Sheldon J. Plankton went head to head against each other until the 21st Fry Cook Games in 2001. There, SpongeBob SquarePants represented the [[Krusty Krab]], and Patrick Star represented The Chum Bucket. In the 21st Fry Cook Games, there were 8 events. The tiebreaker was bun wrestling. The winner was never determined.

*The '''Great Snail Race''' is an annual race between snails at [[Oyster Stadium]], which is located in the Bikini Bottom Zoo. At the pre-game ceremony, of the 102nd Running of the Snail, Lightning Larry Luciano (The winner of the first race) lights the Torch of Good Sportsmanship (although very slowly). After the torch is lit, the games begin. The first snail to make it across the finish line, wins. The result of the 102nd race ended with Rocky (won by default, owned by Patrick Star, actually a Pet Rock) in first place, [[Snellie]] (owned by Squidward Tentacles) in second place, and Gary (disqualified, owned by SpongeBob SquarePants) in last place, disqualified due to the coach running on to the race track. Patrick had the trophy engraved to Squidward Tortellini (mistaken for [[Squidward Tentacles]]), because he had wanted to win very badly.

*The '''Anchor Toss Competition''' is a contest of strong ocean dwellers tossing a large anchor on a 510+ yard field. A referee goes and measures the distance between the tosser and the anchor, but is constantly hit by it. SpongeBob was part of the contest, along with Sandy Cheeks, Don the Whale, and Larry the Lobster. Sandy entered SpongeBob’s name because of how big his muscles were. SpongeBob's muscles were actually fake.
*'''Jellyfishing''' is a fictional sport that is similar to fishing. It involves hunting [[Jellyfish]] using a wooden net and a plastic jar. The sport was first introduced in the episode "Jellyfishing." In the episode, the characters SpongeBob and Patrick take their neighbor Squidward to Jellyfish Fields, where many episode plots involving jellyfishing would be set in. [[Nickelodeon]], the cable TV network that owns the rights to SpongeBob SquarePants, has released two products based on the sport. They are slumber bags and wall borders.

*'''Bubble blowing''' is another hobby in Bikini bottom. However, the only bubble blowers known are SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, although Squidward has blown bubbles before. SpongeBob once set up [[The Bubblestand]] in the episode: [[Bubblestand]] and charged 25 cents for bubble blowing; 25 cents for lessons. There is a special technique to bubble blowing: "First go like this, spin around. Stop. Double take 3 times: 1, 2, 3, then, pelvic thrust. Stop on your right foot, don’t forget it. Then bring it around town. Then you do this, then this, and this, then this, then that, then this and that." Some awkward shapes of bubbles include an elephant, butterflies, worms, among others. Two bubble-themed episodes are "Bubblestand" and "Bubble Buddy."

Other sports include those that are played by people in the real world, such as weight lifting, swimming, volleyball, [[Karate]], and hot dog eating contests. Weight lifting is very popular at Goo Lagoon. There are even weight lifting competitions at Goo Lagoon. SpongeBob even has a small fitness center at his house. However, instead of weights, SpongeBob uses stuffed animals (rabbits) as weights. SpongeBob has used a stick with two marshmallows attached to it, which he could not lift. Swimming is a very popular sport at Goo Lagoon. There are small circular pools elsewhere in the city. Volleyball is just like the real sport. In Bikini Bottom, volleyball is played at Goo Lagoon. Karate is a popular sport for SpongeBob and Sandy. Some Karate moves include the Double Overhand Squirrel Knot, the Squirrel, and the Tin Cans. Two Karate-themed episodes are "Karate Choppers" and "[[Karate Island]]." A hot dog eating contest is briefly shown during the episode "[[SpongeGuard on Duty]]".

and everyone's still wishing

flat upon the ground.

You'll find magic under rubble,
so Patrick grab a shovel and
here's where your magic can be found.

but man won't it be swell,
when we make everyone's wishes all come true?

Karen

Spongeyruler30:

[[Image:Karen.JPG|thumb|right|(left) Karen, (right) Plankton]]
[[Image:MobileKaren.jpg|thumb|right|Mobile Karen]]
[[Image:Glaskugelkaren.JPG|thumb|right|Medieval Karen]]
'''Karen Plankton''' is [[ Sheldon J. Plankton]]'s computer W.I.F.E ''(Wired Integrated Female Electroencenphalograph)''. She is much smarter than Plankton and usually comes up with all the plans to steal the [[Krabby Patty Secret Formula]]. She makes [[Plankton]] Holographic Meatloaf to eat. She was introduced in the episode: [[Plankton!]], along with Plankton himself. When she first started dating Sheldon, she was only a security system (as revealed in [[Friend or Foe?]]).

In Karen's first appearance, her analyzer program was being used to try to decipher the [[Krabby Patty]] formula. In the episode: [[Fear of a Krabby Patty]], she had eyes, a nose, and mouth telling Plankton "I heard this joke before". Karen and Plankton always fight and even complain to themselves because [[Plankton]] had installed a nagging software to Karen.

In the movie, Karen had a minor role but this was the first time Karen is seen now a rolling computer and now even smaller. Plankton also installed a button into Karen that would help him succeed in Plan Z and take over [[Bikini Bottom]]. [[Plankton]] actually controlled his own wife to take over the local town until SpongeBob freed her in the episode: [[Dunces and Dragons]].

===Design/Changes===
Karen is a computer, who has a big screen with green lines to tell in which frequency she is speaking at. She has many buttons below the screen. [[Clem]], and the rest of [[Plankton's Cousins]] think that she was pretty. She has a built in analyzer, which can tell the ingredients in an item. In the episode: [[Bucket Sweet Bucket]], she was seen as a small computer which could move. In the episode: [[Dunces and Dragons]] she was a crystal ball which could show locations of different people.

==Quotes==
* "I heard this joke before!"
* "Seaweed: 50% Sea, 50% Weed
*"Plankton: 1% Evil, 99% Hot Gas."
* "I suppose it would, if I had one."

The episode starts with a card displaying: Boat Smarts With Mrs. Puff, then the narrator displays another card saying: C.O.B.B.U.T.K.S.B.S.P.O.T.R.A.O.O.B.A.T (Citizens Of Bikini Bottom United To Keep SpongeBob SquarePants Off The Road and out Of Boats All Together) Then the tape goes to Mrs. Puff who is sitting on her desk introducing herself to the video. She discusses the good and bad drivers. Squidward is the one with Boat Smarts, but SpongeBob is the one without it.

'''''Tire pressure:''''' 
Mrs., Puff then shows the examples starting with a card displaying: Tire Pressure. It shows Squidward carefully pumping his tire slowly and making sure it gets to a perfect size. SpongeBob though mercilessly and it overloads and blows up and hits Squidward.

'''''Buckling Up:''''' 
After that, it shows another card saying: Buckling Up. This shows Squidward in a boat mobile holding the wheel. The camera zooms in closer and it shows Squidward with his seatbelt in the proper manner. He then starts driving until he sees a [[Bikini Bottom Traffic lights]] and he stops. Once Squidward stops, we see SpongeBob crazily speeding around a corner with no regard for safety and possibly with no seatbelt on. he hits Squidward who goes flying into a dangerous truck. He gets severely hurt.

'''''Adjusting Mirrors:''''' 
The next card displays: Adjusting Mirrors. it shows Squidward adjusting his mirrors before he begins to start the boat mobile. Squidward starts the boat and begins to drive. SpongeBob though he adjusts his mirror dangerously while driving with one leg. He hits many fish, although he does not know because he is focusing on the mirror. He then swerves in front of Squidward and Squidward yells at SpongeBob. SpongeBob adjusts the other mirror and hits Squidward with a beam of light and he is blinded until he puts on sunglasses. But Squidward sees a wall and crashes. It shows a crash dummy although instead of the head it shows Squidward's!

'''''Final:''''' 
Then you see Mrs. Puff in Squidward's boat mobile talking about paying attention to the surroundings. Squidward drives well. She explains how Squidward's eyes are locked on the road. Then SpongeBob swerving while eating a [[Krabby Patty]] and reading. He also shaves and is blinded by the white froth, thus making people crash. When some fish crashes SpongeBob says: "Hi there!" and turns around making even more people crash. Eventually there is a huge stockpile of cars and the owners are very angry. SpongeBob still speeds past, runs over a puddle and slides around saying: "Weeeeeee". SpongeBob then says hi to Mrs. Puff and SpongeBob's boat mobile slips on a mini pebble, strangely making his boat mobile act as a ramp in which Squidward's boat mobile travel over. They fly into the big stockpile of all the cars (The fish run away) and it makes a huge crash. Mrs. Puff blows up very fat and SpongeBob drives past saying: "Looks like you guys forgot your Boat Smarts!, he smiles and drives off, making dust and the low quality recorder stops with Mrs. Puff saying: "Never-mind".

==Trivia/Goofs==
*This is the second instructional video in the series. The first was [[Krusty Krab Training Video]].
*This is the first time we see SpongeBob shaving in a car.
*This is the first time we see SpongeBob eating a [[Krabby Patty]] while he is driving.

==Plot==
'''''Day One''''' 
Squidward is practicing his clarinet peacefully, and a doctor comes in, thinking Squidward has a sick animal. Squidward slams the door, but receives a call. He picks up the telephone, and it's Squilliam Fancyson from band class! He claims to suppose to play at the "Bubble Bowl", but cannot make it, and asks Squidward and his "band" to perform. Squidward, determined to play well, tries to get a band. Various people read the advertisements.

At 8:35, Squidward is driving over to the band rehearsal building, angry that the music rental clerk made him late. He comes in and plays six notes on his clarinet. The brass and woodwind repeat, however, the percussion section blow on their drumsticks and they hit Squidward.

'''''Day Two''''' 
Squidward's band is out marching on day two. Squidward orders the band almost perfectly, until he instructs the flag twirlers to "spin those flags". They spin the flags so quickly that they fly up like propellers into a blimp, causing their death. One of the trumpeters played "Taps", the rest of the band put their hands on their hearts, and Squidward curls up on the ground.

'''''Day Three''''' 
Squidward asks to see Plankton's harmonica solo, but it doesn't work very well because Plankton is extremely tired half way!

'''''Day Four''''' 
Squidward instructs the band to play as loudly as they can, but the great force of the sound waves blow Squidward's physical features back. He then instructs them to play softly, but a huge fight breaks out. Eventually, band class is over. Squidward appears at the doors as the players leave, telling them not to come to the Bubble Bowl. SpongeBob, horrified at how the band members crushed Squidward's dream, takes over conducting the band.

'''''Concert''''' 
Squidward finds Squilliam Fancyson at the concert, which is in the [[Bubble Bowl]] in the center of a human football oval, who apparently only came to see Squidward fail, like always. However, the band turns out to be a great success! Squilliam suffers a heart attack and is carried away. Squidward is shown jumping up in happiness, and the screen fades to end the episode.

==Trivia/Goofs==
*The song used in this episode, ''Sweet Victory'', was performed by [[David Glen Eisley]] of the 1980s heavy metal band, Giuffria.
*When everyone in the room is saying "blah, blah, blah," SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting next to each other. However, when Patrick asks if mayonnaise is an instrument, he is sitting next to Sandy. The only way this is possible is if SpongeBob was next to Patrick on his other side, but when Mr. Krabs asks when they get the free food, Sandy is on one side of the room (viewers' left) in the front row and SpongeBob is on the other side (viewers' right) in the center row.
* The song that [[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]]'s band wanted to play was Love Rollercoaster by the Ohio Players.
* Throughout the scenes of the rehearsals, people have been playing different instruments. For example, SpongeBob (on the first day) played the drums. Then (on day four) he played the trumpet. Also, Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff on the first day played the concertina (Krabs) and the clarinet (Puff). On the fourth day, they both played the cymbals.
* When Squidward asks the brass section to repeat after him, Pearl Krabs is seen with a saxophone. However, a saxophone is a woodwind and should have been placed within the wind section.
* Everyone thinks that they should do something for Squidward, but Squidward never did anything for them nice or very kind.
*At the beginning, Squilliam says his band won't be playing because he couldn't make it to the performance, which paved the way for the entire episode. However, Squilliam actually does show up to see Squidward's band play. It may be he was lying about him not being able to play and just did it to see Squidward make a fool of himself.
* How can Sandy play the saxphone if she has her air helmet on in the rehearsal?
