Character

“	Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't try to play with big, meaty claws!	”
	— Harold

Harold^[1]^[2] Bill^[3] is a blue fish who usually wears a white shirt and a red Speedo. Like other character models, his appearance is not perfectly consistent, and in some episodes he is completely naked. This means that the two names the basic design was referred to as could indeed be separate people. He appears to be ill-tempered and cynical in most of his appearances. His name was revealed in the episode "Roller Cowards." In "Porous Pockets," Bert calls him "Bill." However, his name was confirmed in "Gary in Love" as Harold. He has been voiced by both Doug Lawrence and Dee Bradley Baker. Lawrence gives him a more common American accent while Baker gives him an English accent.

Trivia

In Season 1, he was usually shown either naked or only wearing his red shorts.
In "Roller Cowards" he was called Harold while in "Porous Pockets," he was named Bill. This may be because his name was changed to Harold for the "Fiery Fist O' Pain" Commercial. Though in "Gary in Love," he talks to himself, calling himself Harold. It can be presumed that his real name is Harold.
In "Planet of the Jellyfish," he was called some random guy by SpongeBob.
In the episode of "Squirrel Jokes," he has a British accent.
It was revealed in "Patty Hype" that his favorite color is purple.
