SpongeBob SquarePants Bongo Comics Dub Casting Call
TheGonzfam for Squidward Tentacles
Squidward Q. Tentacles is one of many main characters of "SpongeBob SquarePants." He is the grumpy neighbor of SpongeBob and Patrick. He works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab, working alongside SpongeBob, for better and for worse. He lives in an Easter Island head shaped house. Squidward is a mostly unpleasant artist and musician, and his favorite hobbies are painting self-portraits, making culinary delicacies, and playing the clarinet.
Squidward is considered rude, unhappy, stubborn, snobby, grumpy, bad-tempered, egotistical, miserable, sarcastic, apathetic, pessimistic, hypocritical, and sometimes sadistic, but this can be explained by his work ethic. He views the world in such a negative light that he is rarely seen greeting anyone with a smile. He hates his job at the Krusty Krab and is often seen sleeping or reading on the job instead of working. Despite his temper, he is still one of the most intelligent and educated characters. He has a cynical attitude, a grandiose sense of self, and sees others as uncivilized morons while failing to accept his shortcomings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his failures.
For the voice, please try to be as similar to Rodger Bumpass's portrayal as possible.

[From "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm", a line Squidward says when Patrick suggests taking Bikini Bottom and pushing it somewhere else] (normal volume) "That idea may just be crazy enough..." (yelling) "TO GET US ALL KILLED!" ||| [From "Band Geeks", when instrument sections are playing at Squidward's command, and the drums section pins Squidward to the wall with their sticks. Squidward says this line in a bothered but monotone voice.] "too bad that didn't kill me."
[Also from Band Geeks, at Squidward's lowest moment in the episode, spoken with tearful sorrow and despair] "Well, you did it. You took my one chance in happiness... and crushed it! Crushed it into little, tiny, bite-size pieces. I really had expected better of you people. I guess I'm a loser for that, too. Don't bother showing up tomorrow. I'll just tell them you all died in a marching accident. So, thanks. [sobs] Thanks for nothing! [leaves]" ||| [From "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie", a line Squidward says to himself while SpongeBob and Patrick are off to retrieve King Neptune's Crown. He speaks calmly and happily.] "Too bad SpongeBob isn't here to enjoy SpongeBob not being here."
[From "Have You Seen This Snail?", an example of Squidward screaming. Please do not do this unless your throat can take it.] "What are those Neanderthals doing? Don't they know I'm busy spoiling myself?" (SpongeBob and Patrick barge in) "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" [From "Dying For Pie", when Mr. Krabs tells Squidward to act brotherly towards SpongeBob on Employee Brotherhood Day. Squidward responds with frustration and vitriol.] "Mr. Krabs, you pay me to stand behind this register, and take orders, and give change. But you could never pay me enough to act brotherly towards that guy!" ||| [From "Bubble Buddy", a line Squidward says when he is fed up with SpongeBob, who speaks for Bubble Buddy, requesting so many changes to his order. He is at his wit's end here.] "Here, one of everything! No cheese, no crust, pickles to the left, four squirts of ketchup, wheat buns, non-dairy lettuce, and farm-raised tomatoes, CARNIVAL STYLE! And if there is anything else I can do, please hesitate to ask."
