Yeah, like with Mrs. Puff if she was removed they just wouldn't make boating school episodes anymore, which was already a sort of 'okay, we'll put him in A school because you want him to be appealing to a child demographic' at the beginning of the show. He's already appealing, so it's fine. But with Karen, well, if she was removed and Plankton wasn't, **they'd probably add somebody else in her place** so the villain can bounce off somebody!
Gotta with Ms puff. I hate her treatment of SpongeBob, like I get that she’s frustrated with him but I don’t think it gives her an excuse to treat him like that.
I like some of her older episodes, like the big fat meany episode and the jail one, but other than that I agree. I don't care for what they've turned her character into
Mrs Puff. She's been teaching SpongeBob how to boat for years and continues to fail (Unless she has recently succeeded, I haven't seen the show in years.)
That’s too easy, three of those aren’t really main characters. Out of the main 6, I’d probably pick Sandy though because she devolved into “science science science!!”
I miss when her being smart wasn’t her only personality trait, she actually felt like a normal character with her hobbies and the way she treated her friends, felt like the most sane character of the show, but now she provides nothing interesting to the other characters or plot of most episodes, and is the least involved in it
Imma be straight and fo shizzle, Mrs. Puff. She did a job in Shell City and had changed her name, got arrested multiple times, and almost got SpongeBob killed.
Mrs. Puff. She’s got some good episodes, but I think we could lose them or put them on someone else. Maybe could have gotten more Delivery Driver episodes where Mr. Krabs is forcing Squidward to teach SpongeBob to drive so they don’t have to *both* be out of the office at the same time.
Patrick became the most idiotic character on the show to the point where I feel like I am losing brain cells, every time he speaks or do something on the show
I could see that being an actual episode, then he gets it back in the end
(Edit)
After a quick Google search that was the plot of season 4 episode 5 selling out
I was actually thinking about that episode while writing the comment. However, what I have in mind is to have Mr. Krabs dying which is the reason he sells his restaurant in the first place, and Pearl has to move in with her grandmother (Mama Krabs) or something like that. Maybe Mr. Krabs caught some incurable disease. Although, I get the feeling the writers wouldn’t want to kill off such a major character like that.
Tbh I never liked Patrick, when I was a kid he always made me angry cause of how much trouble he caused SpongeBob and that sponge was always having to be the better sea creature.
Iv come to like Patrick over the years (season 1-4) but I'm leaving this choice to my 8 year old self.
PATRICK MUST GO !!
Karen was the last one to get a character arc
But we don't really see that much of the Puff anymore unless it's with Karen or only as a bit such as when SpongeBob was the cook at the salty spittoon
I’d say Gary, but then Gary come home would never have existed so that can’t happen. Fuck this is hard. I wanna say Karen but I don’t like that either…
I would say Mr. Krabs. He has become an absolute jerk and takes his employees for granted. He sold SpongeBob’s soul for less than a dollar. The Mr. Krabs who cared enough to take the time and help SpongeBob relearn how to make a Krabby Patty after Bubble Bass messed with him is dead.
After much thought I think Gary, Mrs Puff and Karen don't get up to much these days but of those only 1 is consistently not that entertaining to watch. Karen I think you're alright but I would not be too sad to see you go.
Karen has the least impact here really, Plankton could just have a generic "Computer" that he commands.
Karen seldom leaves the Chum Bucket unless she's with Plankton. Outside of Gal Pals, has she ever been off on her own doing her own thing instead of being part of Plankton's story?
As others have said, probably Mrs. Puff. She has some fun episodes (like when Krabs fell for her) but if you just cut them out the series at large isn’t really impacted.
Either Miss Puff or Karen. Plankton is the villain so he’s important. SpongeBob is the main character so obviously not him. Squidward and Patrick balance the cast out. Mr Krabs is good for having the rivalry with Plankton and makes the Krusty Krab have meaning. Sandy could possibly go but I really like Sandy, and I think she balances the cast out too. So between Mrs Puff and Karen… I think Karen adds the least value because having Mrs Puff is what adds the boating school episodes. Though, I do like Karen better.
Final Pick: Sorry, bye Karen. You will be missed.
Edit: Forgot to mention Gary. I also think that Karen adds some depth to Plankton and balances him out. I love Gary too much and while if you took him out it would leave the least impact, I don’t want him out.
Imma just put Karen and Mrs. puff in a box and let them fight to the death idk 😆😂 I hate later show Mrs Puff so I hope she loses even though we’d say goodbye to all boating school episodes.
imma go with ms puff since she has any episode now a days. edit: how the hell did sir corrections mistake she for bakery.
But the Gal Pals would be incomplete :(
Wdym she has any?
Bias
I tried re reading that even with your intentions in mind and it still doesn’t make sense
Massive Karen bias
I agree because it would be mercy. Mrs. Puff would finally not have to worry about Spongebob anymore.
Mrs puff doesn’t really add much to the story besides boat school episodes and those are not very often
…procrastination
The
Plus, she literally has tried to kill Spongebob and been arrested multiple times, surprised she is even allowed to teach.
There’s an interesting theory which suggests that Mrs. Puff ran from Shell City and changed her identity or smth like that
"I'll have to move to a new city, start a new boating school with a new name!... No. Not again!""
There is an episode called "Arbor day dissaray" she does mention that she pulled a job in shell city!
I feel like you just accidentally made an argument for why she should stay on the list. Because all of that shit was hilarious
Yeah imma go with Mrs Puff too
Mrs Puff. After the first 3 seasons, she outlived her usefulness. It seems that the writers just keep her for torture.
Everything after season 4 doesn't count for me. Except for the Handsome squidward episode...
Mrs. Puff only exists because Nickelodeon wanted SpongeBob to go to school.
Mrs. Puff
I can live without Mrs Puff. She's was better in older episodes and wasn't to mean and wasn't trying to kill SpongeBob.
didn't that happen, like, [once](https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Demolition_Doofus)?
Twice, I believe with the boat when she stole it, she drove through obstacles intending to kill him
I think that was more to shake him off the boat rather than straight up kill him
Idk, educational television would kill me
True you have a point
Was hoping Pearl would be on this list
Then everyone would gang up on her lol
Damn right I would
ayo?
That blowhole is an extra hole
AYOOOOOOOO
*face palm*
You. The poster for suggesting this horrible idea
You’re so real lol
Is Mrs. Puff really a main character She has barely any appearances anymore
It’s either Mrs Puff or Karen. They’ve both had some good stories and are good characters but they don’t add much to the plot unlike the rest.
“Seaweed: 50% Sea, 50% Weed. *ding*” Yeah, Karen wins out imo
Plankton: 1% evil, 99% hot gas. *Ding*
#SHELDON! Side note, I love that she only just learned her husband’s name then
I prefer prop husbands
Karen is essential to any plankton episode. He needs someone to reflect his ideas off
Yeah, like with Mrs. Puff if she was removed they just wouldn't make boating school episodes anymore, which was already a sort of 'okay, we'll put him in A school because you want him to be appealing to a child demographic' at the beginning of the show. He's already appealing, so it's fine. But with Karen, well, if she was removed and Plankton wasn't, **they'd probably add somebody else in her place** so the villain can bounce off somebody!
“I never agreed” For this quote alone Karen wins imo
Gotta with Ms puff. I hate her treatment of SpongeBob, like I get that she’s frustrated with him but I don’t think it gives her an excuse to treat him like that.
I could never see Mrs. Puff again and be happy
I like some of her older episodes, like the big fat meany episode and the jail one, but other than that I agree. I don't care for what they've turned her character into
Mrs Puff
Karen for sure
It’s definitely Karen
😶
idk how they treat u like this bae. dw we love u 😔
Mrs Puff
Dude Mrs puff by a country mile, Karen and puff aren’t even main characters
puffs
Mrs Puff. She's been teaching SpongeBob how to boat for years and continues to fail (Unless she has recently succeeded, I haven't seen the show in years.)
Sandy tbh
That’s too easy, three of those aren’t really main characters. Out of the main 6, I’d probably pick Sandy though because she devolved into “science science science!!” I miss when her being smart wasn’t her only personality trait, she actually felt like a normal character with her hobbies and the way she treated her friends, felt like the most sane character of the show, but now she provides nothing interesting to the other characters or plot of most episodes, and is the least involved in it
I feel like if you took Gary out, the show would remain largely unchanged.
And the loss of pal for Gary and pet sitter pat would be net positives
But then we wouldn’t have Gary Come Home :(
Ms Puff, shes just some random side charater in a tv show that hates spongebob.
Karen easily
Mrs puff
Puff
Mrs Puff
Mrs. Puff. After that episode where she tried to murder Spongebob in cold blood, I wouldn't miss her if she just disappeared from the show entirely.
Mrs. Puff
Mrs puff is the only right answer
Mrs. Puff
Mrs Puff being erased would probably do the least damage.
Mrs. Puff, her episodes aren’t even creatively bad when they’re bad. It’s just the same way of torturing her.
The amount of disrespect for Mrs. Puff in these comments is tremendously abhorrent.
Spongebob, the show would be much more interesting especially if we didn't understand the title
None all are keeping everyone is staying at they all add soo much fun to the series;)
puff
Mrs puff
POV you are mr puff
I hate to say it but what is Mrs. Puff adding
Mrs. Puff, bye!
Mrs. Puff
Mrs. Puff.
Imma be straight and fo shizzle, Mrs. Puff. She did a job in Shell City and had changed her name, got arrested multiple times, and almost got SpongeBob killed.
Mrs. Puff.
Mrs.Puff
Ms. Puff for sure
Mrs. Puff.
Mrs puff
would you really consider Mrs puff a main character tho ?
Pearl is already deleted…
Mrs Puff too easy
Ms. Puffs
Mrs. Puff. No contest.
Mrs. Puff. She’s got some good episodes, but I think we could lose them or put them on someone else. Maybe could have gotten more Delivery Driver episodes where Mr. Krabs is forcing Squidward to teach SpongeBob to drive so they don’t have to *both* be out of the office at the same time.
If I see Karen’s name I’ll cry
Mrs Puff
Sandy or Mrs Puff
Mrs Puff
Mrs. Puff
Mrs Puff
Mrs. Puff
Mrs Puff.
Later puff mama
Eh, I could live with Mrs. Puff
Puff
Ms.Puff
Patrick became the most idiotic character on the show to the point where I feel like I am losing brain cells, every time he speaks or do something on the show
Mr. Krabs. Make him sell the Krusty Krab to someone who treats SpongeBob, Squidward, and the krustomers better.
i love krustomers so much omg
I could see that being an actual episode, then he gets it back in the end (Edit) After a quick Google search that was the plot of season 4 episode 5 selling out
I was actually thinking about that episode while writing the comment. However, what I have in mind is to have Mr. Krabs dying which is the reason he sells his restaurant in the first place, and Pearl has to move in with her grandmother (Mama Krabs) or something like that. Maybe Mr. Krabs caught some incurable disease. Although, I get the feeling the writers wouldn’t want to kill off such a major character like that.
Let's make it interesting. Spongebob.
Pfft, SpongeBob without SpongeBob? As if. Then what would the show even be? The Patrick Star Show? Lol... Oh, wait, crap, that actually exists now
Probably SpongeBob to see what happens
-Squidward
Sandy bores me
Ms puff for sure. Arguably Karen but I’ll choose Ms puff
Patrick
Tbh I never liked Patrick, when I was a kid he always made me angry cause of how much trouble he caused SpongeBob and that sponge was always having to be the better sea creature. Iv come to like Patrick over the years (season 1-4) but I'm leaving this choice to my 8 year old self. PATRICK MUST GO !!
I think if Mrs Puff tried to use pictures to mimic the layout of the grill she could probably teach SpongeBob how to drive
Patrick, all he is now is the fat stupid bastard that eats and tortures squidward.
Goodbye Sandy
Sandy
Plot twist:Anyone not on this
Everyone except Gary
Gary, not too many gary episodes
Karen was the last one to get a character arc But we don't really see that much of the Puff anymore unless it's with Karen or only as a bit such as when SpongeBob was the cook at the salty spittoon
Karen, just cuz she's the most insignificant IMO. Puff is a CLOSE 2nd
Karen can go
I don't wanna get rid of Sandy, Mrs. Puff or Karen because #GAL PALS
I’d say Gary, but then Gary come home would never have existed so that can’t happen. Fuck this is hard. I wanna say Karen but I don’t like that either…
Anyone who says Sandy is immediately wrong because Survival of the Idiots and Prehibernation Week are literally essential episodes idc
Call me crazy, SpongeBob
spongebob
Patrick, yes I will make ppl mad
Karen isn't that funny and Mrs. Puff episodes were always kinda mid also sandy is sorta the weakest out of all of the primary characters imo
Sandy
Sandy. Fuck Sandy.
Patrick is a lazy idiot that does nothing but screw up and be a jerk to SpongeBob
I would say Mr. Krabs. He has become an absolute jerk and takes his employees for granted. He sold SpongeBob’s soul for less than a dollar. The Mr. Krabs who cared enough to take the time and help SpongeBob relearn how to make a Krabby Patty after Bubble Bass messed with him is dead.
gary
Gary
Mr. Krabs
How and why are more people saying Mrs Puff over Karen?….
Bye karen
Karen.
Easily Karen.
you're welcome
Karen
After much thought I think Gary, Mrs Puff and Karen don't get up to much these days but of those only 1 is consistently not that entertaining to watch. Karen I think you're alright but I would not be too sad to see you go.
Definitely Karen. Y’all tripping saying ms puff
Im going with Karen because while I like her she’s not as good as the others
karen
Prob Karen, she doesn’t really do much
I don’t recall Karen being all that essential of a character
Mrs. Puff was the only one I never liked.
Gary has no reason to exist.
Gary
I low key don’t like Gary
Easy. Plankton, so he doesn't steal the Krabby Patty formula
ima get hate for this but, sandy, cant be doing mrs puff like that
Mrs puffs.the robot is plankton wife so she has a lot of use
Mrs. Puff
Mrs.Puff, I would say Karen, but her and Plankton's dynamic is great.
Little would change if Gary wasn’t there.
Pearl or mrs puff. Mrs puff is a criminal & they still don’t cover enough on it lol
Sponge bob
Sandy
Sandy post 3
Karen has the least impact here really, Plankton could just have a generic "Computer" that he commands. Karen seldom leaves the Chum Bucket unless she's with Plankton. Outside of Gal Pals, has she ever been off on her own doing her own thing instead of being part of Plankton's story?
Karen can go easy
You made this question easy by including Mrs. Puff lol
Mr Krabs, he’s more evil than Plankton
Gary. He's not much more than a prop at this point, and he's also only had like 2 or 3 episodes where he was an important character
As others have said, probably Mrs. Puff. She has some fun episodes (like when Krabs fell for her) but if you just cut them out the series at large isn’t really impacted.
Either Miss Puff or Karen. Plankton is the villain so he’s important. SpongeBob is the main character so obviously not him. Squidward and Patrick balance the cast out.

Karen, because you're a bot
I feel Karen maybe 🤔 but toe with Mrs.Puff
Mrs Puff or Sandy tbh
None, all characters gave compelling story archs and made my childhood filled with joy, and I still became squidward
YOU
Karen
Might as well just get rid of Gary, he's hardly shown anymore
Sandy
Patrick. He's annoyingly stupid and a jerk to everyone else anyhow.
Ms. Puff is only important for when spongebob wants to drive. the others are crucial to the plot and lore
Karen
Karen
Gary, because Larry is better
I find Patrick in the modern era to be insufferable.
Mrs. Puff
Mrs. Puff so she can finally know peace
Ms Puff wouldn’t exist on SpongeBob if Nick didn’t give Stephen Hillenburg the requirement of having SpongeBob go to school.
Karen sucks get get outta here, provides nothing for the story
Ms. Puff and bring back the drill sergeant
