Asking for it

Whilst discussing character types in modern TV shows, someone brought up Spongebob Squarepants.


Me: "What about Spongebob Squarepants then? What type of character is he?"

Garry: "Round."

Me: "Right, round, he's the main character, and he has tons of detail."

Charles: "Wait a minute. I thought Spongebob was square?"


He did look genuinely confused, but I'm hoping it was an act.
