Squidward's clarinet, often called Clarey, is a clarinet used by Squidward Tentacles at various times. It has also been used by SpongeBob. Patrick has almost used it as well. Squidward often treats it as if it were alive, giving it the name of "Clarey". Squidward even sleeps with it as shown in the episodes "Squidville" and "I Was a Teenage Gary." A common running gag is that Bikini Bottomites are annoyed by the sound of it, because of Squidward's lack of musical talent. In "Christmas Who?," SpongeBob gives him a customized wooden clarinet as a present.

Destroyed instances

Annoyed instances

Trivia

  • Squidward's clarinet is extremely less detailed than a clarinet in real life. However, Sour Note, Squidward's superhero alter-ego, uses a realistic clarinet in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.
  • Sometimes Squidward would put Clarey onto his bed in his house, even having a small pillow for it to "rest" as seen in "I Was a Teenage Gary."
