SpongeBob's Driver's License

SpongeBob will never get his license. We all know that. There've been some times when he came so close-- but alas, he failed. According to Mr. Hillenburg, the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie takes place after all the episodes end. All of them, which is why on the show he's never manager of the Krusty Krab 2. On the movie Patrick states that SpongeBob doesn't have a license, so we know he won't ever get it on the series.

Of course, on the movie he manages to stay calm behind the wheel, drives with relative expertise, given how he drove before. Meaning we know he'll improve.

There's one episode, I don't like it too much, Nautical Novice. The ending is kind of cheap and disappointing, I think. For a second, a brief, shining second, I believed maybe he'd get his license. Or make a really humorous driving mistake and lose it, which I was prepared for. As it turned out, all the cool stuff he did that earned him his license was null and void; he didn't so any of it. Darn. I thought such an ending was especially cruel.


Note that it lists his address as 124 Conch St. Bikini Bottom. It also says he has yellow hair. Hmm...
