Grandpa SquarePants is the father of Harold, Sherm, and Blue. He is also the paternal grandfather of SpongeBob, Todd, Larry, BlackJack, and Stanley. He is voiced by Tom Kenny. He very much resembles SpongeBob's square shape.
History
He is first mentioned in "Rock Bottom," and is depicted in SpongeBob's mind in "The Sponge Who Could Fly." He is known for his wise sayings, which include "If we were meant to fly, we had have propellers on our heads or jet engines on our backs." ("The Sponge Who Could Fly") and "Never run for a bus, especially one that's going up at a 90 degree angle." ("Rock Bottom").
Biography
He was born to a Mr. and Mrs. SquarePants. Mrs. Squarepants might be SpongeBob's Great Grandmother.
He married a female sponge who is now called "Grandma SquarePants."
Together, they may have bought the home that is now known as Grandma SquarePants' House, but this has not been confirmed.
They had at least six children: Harold, Sherm, Blue, and three unknown sons.
He once said "Never run for a bus, especially one that's going up at a 90 degree angle."[1] and "If we were meant to fly, we had have propellers on our heads or jet engines on our backs."[2]
Late in his life, he had a cane[2] then eventually a walker.[1]
