Gary the Snail

Revision as of 23:06, 2 February 2008

Gary Star The Snail is SpongeBob SquarePants pet House Snail who is commonly reffered to as a snail who is also voiced by Tom Kenny. Gary can only speak in a 'meow' noise, while sea worms in the show commonly bark which indicates that snails are the ocean equivalent of cats and worms are dogs. In some Episodes Gary has been known to say something other than 'Meow' but this is rare. Gary is the sixth main character of the show.

As seen in the Episode 'Opposite Day' where Gary attemted to do the oppostie of his stereotypes by barking like a dog.

In The Secret Box, Gary responded to Spongebob's question with 'Meo-no'. Spongebob didn't think much of it and replied "Aaw, what do you know? You're A Snail!" Spongebob didn't recognise it as special meaning this isn't the first time Gary spoke.

In The Movie, The Citizens of Bikini Bottom were chanting 'All Hail Plankton', while Gary chanted monotoniously "Meow Plankton"

In many episodes, it has been indicated that Gary is very intelligent, the biggest hint of which was in 'Sleepy Time' where Gary spoke in his dream (that spongebob was intervening) and sounded very old and wise. He had an extensive library which is a possible metaphor for intelligence. Typically, because he is smart, he is not very athletic and contant excersize and physical work makes him tired and wheeze meaning he is a possible athsmatic. He is a domesticated housepet with similair mannerisms to a cat but also is said to be royal blood as seen in Rule of Dumb. Curiously in rule of a Dumb, it proves that Gary and Patrick are cousins, as their Fathers were brothers.

It is suggested that Spongebob had Gary when he lived with his parents as a young boy. As seen in Gary Takes A Bath (Episode), Gary can levetate and Teleport, this means that Patrick could also have telekinesis and physic abilities. Gary didn't appear again after Help Wanted until Plankton! and Boating School. Gary has been to many places including the large Bass Vegas.

Gary had a very minor role in Atlantis Squarepantis,but is showed all of his family and relatives who were partying with him all the time. Gary was seen blowing on a happy birthday paper flute and was wearing a party hat. Gary is also a very good player in instruments, although he wasn't part of Squidward's band in Band Geeks. In The Paper,he played Squidward's clarinet very very well, and Squidward was confused by this.In Procrastination,Gary played the trumpet.In Something Smells, Gary played the violin to make Spongebob cry while chopping onions because Spongebob told him to.

Gary is usually left home all alone very numerously,and it seems that he's always okay. However, in Have You Seen This Snail? he couldn't. Sometimes, he is very lonely. In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, he was left alone for probably a whole week, after the morning when Plankton was being arrested,but in Have You Seen This Snail?, he suffered hunger for 10 days and 1 night.
