— Drifter, "No Weenies Allowed"
|
The drifter is a sponge who appears in the episode "No Weenies Allowed" and all versions of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated. He drifts along towns, finding tough clubs, based by his name.
Description
The drifter looks almost exactly like Template:Data:Links, only he has thick, glossy, black hair like of the late musician Elvis Presley, or Danny Zuko from the 1978 movie musical Grease.
Personality
He claims to be tough, although Reg never tells him to prove it before letting him enter The Salty Spitoon.
Role in series
"No Weenies Allowed"
When the drifter asks to enter The Salty Spitoon, Reg thinks he is SpongeBob wearing a wig and tries to pull the drifter's hair off, but it's revealed to be real. The drifter hardly moves, and he doesn't feel any pain when he pulls it, which shows Reg that he's pretty tough. When the real SpongeBob appears wearing a rainbow wig, Reg apologetically fixes the drifter's hair and lets him in.
Role in games
Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated
He is seen in a picture framed in SpongeBob's bedroom.
Trivia
- The gag of somebody resembling SpongeBob being assaulted due to being mistaken for SpongeBob is used again in "The Slumber Party" with Girly Teengirl.
- However, the former was actually able to make it into The Salty Spitoon, while the latter was shooed away by Template:Data:Links and her friends.
- Despite him appearing in the promotional art drawn for the premiere of the season 13 episode "Salty Sponge," he is actually not seen nor mentioned in that said episode.
