Bubble Bass
Bubble Bass (born May 29, 1977) is an overweight bass who has appeared in a few of the earlier episodes. Bubble Bass is a very fat green bass who wears an orange tank-top. He also wears glasses and is quite stubby. His lips and other parts of his body are darker green. He has a bit of speech impediment and breathes very deeply, possibly due to his obesity. He is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
Bubble Bass' most significant appearance was in "Pickles," when he asks for a Krabby Patty from the Krusty Krab, and it becomes clear that he is particularly fussy. It is also clear that SpongeBob and Bubble Bass have met before, and that Bubble Bass is merely looking to test SpongeBob's fry cooking skills. When Bubble Bass tests a Krabby Patty, and shows to everyone that SpongeBob forgot to put pickles on it, he causes SpongeBob to go into a state of shock, and forces him to take time off, claiming he has forgotten how to make Krabby Patties altogether. However, SpongeBob later achieves his confidence back and resumes his role as fry cook when Bubble Bass returns once again. Again, he orders a Krabby Patty from SpongeBob with pickles, which SpongeBob delivers, only to hear Bubble Bass claim that there are no pickles yet again. However, SpongeBob realizes that Bubble Bass had been hiding the pickles underneath his tongue the entire time, from both Krabby Patties. At the mercy of the angry customers, Bubble Bass makes a break for it before they can punish him for his deceit.
Bubble Bass makes another, minor appearance in "F.U.*.K.," where he accidentally sits on Plankton and confused him for a jellybean.
