Incidental 66
Incidental 66[1] is an incidental character who first appears in the episode "Suds" while his production order debut is in "Valentine's Day." His incidental type is currently unknown.
Description
He is a light green catfish with two pairs of long thin barbels on his face and a neon green dorsal fin and lips. He wears a light tan long-sleeved dress shirt with a collar, brown slacks, and a brownish gray belt with a gold buckle.
Role in series
Incidental 66 appears in only a few episodes throughout the series so far. He was absent from the series for over 20 years after his appearance in "Fools in April" (not counting his appearances in storyboards), but he made his comeback in the Season 13 episode "Say Awww!" He was firstly designed to be a patron at the Valentine's Day Carnival.
Major roles
"Suds"
He is seen as one of the customers running and panicking in the Krusty Krab after Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he doesn't want him sneezing all over his food.
"Fools in April"
He is shown to be disturbed and concerned during Squidward's cruel prank on SpongeBob.
"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III"
In the original storyboard, he is seen at the Bank laughing whenever Man Ray laughs. He was replaced by Incidental 68 in the final episode.
"Dome Alone"
He is seen eating in Sandy's treedome at the end of the episode.
Trivia
- He can be seen on the promotional poster for "Valentine's Day," which itself appears in the episode "The Sponge Who Could Fly." In the episode, the poster is too small to be seen clearly.
- He and Mr. Doodles are the only regular incidentals within the 60-73 range (with the exception of Incidental 64A who is an alternate model of Incidental 64's medieval variant) who did not debut in "Pickles."
- Simon Edwards made a post on Twitter of Incidental 66 wishing Ian Vazquez a Happy Birthday in 2021. Edwards afterwards stated that it is "back into the vault" with 66 (along with a sketch of Incidental 66 waving goodbye)[2] until "next time (in about another 100 years)"[3] due to the outside world being too dangerous for the likes of 66[4] despite the fact that he did return in the season 13 episode "Say Awww!" in 2022.
