My name is, um.....Girly Teengirl.
 
— Girly Teengirl
Character

Girly Teengirl is a female teenage sponge who had just moved to Bikini Bottom from Farawayville. Pearl mistakes her for a disguised SpongeBob in the episode "The Slumber Party."

Description[]

She is a female light-yellow sponge who looks very much like SpongeBob. She wears a light lavender dress with a pink ribbon, magenta-colored ballet flats, salmon lipstick, and wears a pink bow in her hair. She has short brown hair and light blue eyes, with three overexposed eyelashes on each eye as SpongeBob does.

She appears to have a valley girl-like accent.

Personality[]

Judging by her introduction of herself, her personality appears to resemble that of a stereotypical teenage girl.

Role in episode[]

Pearl and her friends all think she is SpongeBob in disguise trying to sneak into Pearl's slumber party, as SpongeBob had been trying to do earlier, so they all throw tomatoes at her. As Pearl and her friends throw stuff at her, Girly Teengirl runs away in tears and says that she is "so moving back to Farawayville," the real SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs immediately drive up. Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob who she is. SpongeBob replies by saying that he does not know but thinks she is ugly.

Trivia[]

  • In the Dutch version, she is called "Spongy Betty."[citation needed]
    • Instead of saying "I am so moving back to Farawayville!," she says, "Ik voel me zo niet gewild!" ("I feel so not wanted!") in this version.[citation needed]
  • In the Castilian Spanish version, she is actually voiced by a female actress instead of SpongeBob’s voice actor. In the case for Castilian Spanish, it would be Alex Saudinós. This makes it one of the only few dubs where Girly Teengirl is voiced by a female actress instead of whoever voices SpongeBob.
  • In the Chinese version, she is called "Bad Ugly Girl."[citation needed]
  • In the Croatian version, she is called "Erica Teenager." It is a pun of the Croatian-English word "teeangerica," which means a female teenager.[citation needed]
  • She is the second sponge in the series not to be related to SpongeBob, and to be mistaken for him. The first was the drifter in "No Weenies Allowed."
    • Girly Teengirl being mistaken for SpongeBob is also a near-identical joke to the Drifter being mistaken for SpongeBob as well. However, the latter was actually able to make it into The Salty Spitoon, while the former was shooed away by Pearl and her friends.
  • The character became an internet meme in April 2023, with users jokingly arguing over whether Pearl had the moral right to banish Girly Teengirl from her slumber party.
  • When Girly Teengirl screams her scream is identical to SpongeBob's.
