The Voices Of SpongeBob And Patrick Take The Co-Star Test

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants and the upcoming Kids Choice Awards, our Bikini Bottom besties - Tom Kenny (SpongeBob) and Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star) - are back with us on dry land to take our Co-star Test! From their favorite series episode to their favorite food, we challenged these two to see if the friendship between their animated alter egos was just as strong behind the scenes. #spongebob #cartoons #nickelodeon #kidschoiceawards

@@Missy3940 what about the Hooky episode-Patrick was being a bad friend there by pressuring SpongeBob into trying the hooks despite being warned not to. And in the Sailor Mouth episode, Patrick was going to snitch on SpongeBob for saying the bad word. Some friend he is.

[@Missy3940]

@@paolotorres8537 I feel back in the day, his stupidity was used for comedic effect. There were consequences to his actions, like in Hooky, he was turned into tuna, and in Sailor Mouth, he also swore, and had to paint Krabs' mother's house with the two others.

It warms my heart to see them as friends IRL. so many actors who work together either dont like each other, or are just indifferent, and don't talk to each other.

I love that Tom Kenny acknowledge, he met Bill on the set of the animated Dumb & Dumber series. Since the voice of Patrick Star voiced Harry in that cartoon. Which is ironic, because SpongeBob’s and Patrick’s dynamic duo, reminds me of Harry and Lloyd from Dumb And Dumber.

You can find it if you are willing to dive deep enough.

[@artsyapple6509]

I love voice actors. They're so much more passionate about their work because they're behind the camera, not like traditional actors. Not recognized on the streets and bombarded by fans. Unless someone who does their research really sees a lot of pics of them! They just seem to have so much more passion and love for their work than other on camera actors. Its so cool.

[@JiannaSandoval]

Dante Basco (voice of Zuko) once said that he's not recognized until he's ordering something cause his voice is pretty much Zuko loll

[@Kiertiana]

I know Cheryl Chase (Angelica from Rugrats.) and we were all out to dinner once. I got to witness this personally. We were walking past a table where a family with young children were sitting and we were chatting. The little girl said to her mom, "Mommy that lady sounds like Angelica." She stopped and told the little girl that she was the voice of Angelica and autographed her napkin.
