Old Man Jenkins

Old Man Jenkins(Farmer Jenkins/Sailor Jenkins/Cannonball Jenkins) seen in The Sponge Who Could Fly

Old Man Jenkins is a character that appears sometimes in the series. His debut was in episode: Sailor Mouth.

What His Purpose Is

Old Man Jenkins is an old man who is sometimes used as a character in the SpongeBob Series to make fun of or to be mean to, in order to further the comedic element of the episode. For example in the episode: My Pretty Seahorse, SpongeBob's pet seahorse Mystery swallows Old Man Jenkins, this makes the situation of Mystery eating everything more humorous. Another example of this is in the episode: The Bully, Flats the Flounder threatens to beat SpongeBob up and then SpongeBob runs through Bikini Bottom saying, "He's going to kick my butt!" The first person the people on the streets see (in the direction that SpongeBob is pointing at) is Old Man Jenkins, again making SpongeBob's situation a lot funnier.Old man Jenkins had a different appearance around seasons 4-to now. This is his older version. In the previous episodes, he's younger.

Appearances

Old Man Jenkins was most seen in the episode: The Sponge Who Could Fly. In that episode, Old Man Jenkins is making corn until SpongeBob, who is trying to fly, crashes into his field. He then yells out, "I knew nothing good would come from city folk and their flying machines!" Then when SpongeBob is trying to save Old Man Jenkins by putting the light back into the lighthouse, he moves out of the way and crashes into a rock. In the end, Old Man Jenkins gets his own cannon and chases down SpongeBob on his flying pants. The city folk roared for "cannonball Jenkins."Also, in the episode: My Pretty Seahorse, he was eaten by Mystery. While inside her, he was heard saying, "I don't want to be a burden."

He was also bluntly seen in the episode: Sailor Mouth where SpongeBob and Patrick and Mr. Krabs use the bad pirate language. When SpongeBob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs were cleaning Mama Krabs house, Mama Krabs hurt herself and it looked like she used the bad pirate language but it was actually Old Man Jenkins in his jalopy. He is apparently a member of the 'Mild Ones', a senior biker gang who only appeared in the episode Born To Be Wild. In Friend or Foe?, he got knocked out after eating a poisoned patty that Mr. Krabs and Plankton made. He is usually locked in the Krusty Krab at closing time. Old Man Jenkins has changed a lot, or there could be just multiple and different Old Man Jenkinses. He also appeared in a flashback of SpongeBob in the episode Missing Identity.

Other than these appearances in the series, Old Man Jenkins is seen as a cameo in many episodes.
