The Seven Deadly Sins Theory

Although the theory was debunked by Tom Kenny in this HuffPost Interview, it is possible that SpongeBob's friends represent the Seven Deadly Sins.

There is some debate, but the best fits for each sin are as follows:

Pride: Sandy.

Pride is a deep satisfaction derived from one's own achievements.

Sandy is deeply proud of her home country, her athletic abilities, and her career as a scientist.

Greed: Mr. Krabs.

Greed is the selfish desire for something, especially wealth or power.

Krabs fits this sin perfectly, since he is obsessed with collecting money just so he can have riches for himself.

Lust: Pearl.

Lust is intense sexual desire.

Pearl is depicted as boy-crazy and obsessed with male fish stars.

Envy: Plankton.

Envy is an insatiable desire.

Plankton is deeply envious of the success that his rival Mr. Krabs has achieved.

Gluttony: Mrs. Puff.

Gluttony is the overindulgence of food.

Mrs. Puff is shown to adore food, from chocolate cake to pasta, and is fat.

Wrath: Squidward.

Wrath is uncontrolled feelings of anger and hatred.

Squidward hates his life, his job, his neighbors, and practically everything else about Bikini Bottom.

Sloth: Patrick.

Sloth is excessive laziness.

Patrick is ridiculously lazy; he is unemployed, lives under a rock, and sleeps a lot.

It has been suggested that Patrick or Gary could also fit gluttony, since Patrick also loves eating a lot of food.

Gary's food bowl is commonly seen, and the episode "Have You Seen This Snail?" features him running away after not being fed, but he is not fat like Mrs. Puff or Patrick.

Also, his appetite is perfectly normal for a snail.

Some fans think SpongeBob could fit lust since he is so loving, but he has been confirmed by Nickelodeon to represent positivity and optimism (opposites of sin), making it unlikely that he represents one of the seven sins.

Additionally, his love for the world is genuine, not sexual
