The SpongeBob SquarePants series has been airing since May 1, 1999. And although the project is already 26 years old, it still remains one of the most popular animated series in the world.
The story of a cheerful yellow sponge who works at the Krusty Krab and is friends with the starfish Patrick has long gone beyond just a children's show. SpongeBob has become a real pop culture icon, has become the subject of memes, has acquired full-length films, spin-offs and even a musical on Broadway.
That's why many viewers are wondering: how old is SpongeBob himself? The answer is very simple.
In the episode Sleepy Time (aired in the first season under number 15a), Bob's driver's license is shown. It shows that the character was born on July 14, 1986.
So at the time of the first episode, SpongeBob was 13 years old, and in 2025 he will already be 39 years old.
However, Bob's age still remains conditional: no matter how many years pass, he remains as energetic and carefree as in 1999.
