    Squidward, the only person who is really seen attempting music of any kind in Bikini Bottom, was rejected from the marching band that SpongeBob started. Here he is after his disastrous attempt, pinned to a wall, feeling miserable.

    In an effort to get away from SpongeBob and Patrick's craziness, Squidward moved into a neighborhood of people just like him: sarcastic, arts-minded misanthropes. Turns out, he couldn't stand those people either, so it looks like he's doomed to never be happy no matter where he lives.

    Trying to stay fit and active is an important part of Squidward's life. But in one episode, he goes for a bike ride, accidentally gets his tentacles wrapped up in the pedals (ouch) and rides his bike off a cliff, only to hit every bump on the way down. When he hits the bottom, his body explodes (double ouch).

    In this episode, Squidward buys a pie from pirates to give to SpongeBob, except it's not a pie at all — it's a bomb. He spends the entire episode trying to save SpongeBob from exploding, only to realize that he hasn't eaten the pie yet. SpongeBob then trips while carrying it and the pie bomb explodes in Squidward's face. Figures.

    Can anyone explain why Squidward always seems to explode when he hits the ground? Is his body made of dynamite? Because in yet another episode, he falls off a cliff and blows to pieces the moment he reaches the bottom. That's some rotten luck.

    Turns out the Krabby Patty's method of stopping criminals from breaking in is to douse those people in gasoline and light them on fire - a fact that Squidward experienced numerous times in one episode.
