Mr. Krabs (seasons 6-10)

Eugene Harold Krabs, commonly refered as Mr. Krabs, is one of the ten main characters in the Nickelodeon animated series, . He is the money-obsessed founder of the Krusty Krab and the business rival of Plankton. Although one of the series' main "protagonists", Mr. Krabs has been frequently depicted as an anti-heroic and even villainous at times, eventually going so far as to become the direct antagonist of several episodes. He is voiced by Clancy Brown.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) The way he's written and portrayed is all over the place. He is supposed to be a hero among SpongeBob and Patrick yet most of the time portrayed as an unfair, villainous boss. For example, he tricked SpongeBob into writing lies about people in Bikini Bottom in "The Krabby Kronicle", and he once used SpongeBob to even mislead children and scam their money into a clown in "Krabby Land". The worst thing about this is Plankton is supposed to be the villain, yet he treats his wife who assists him in the Chum Bucket and any customer he gets way better than Mr. Krabs.
 * 2) He is as villainous as, if not worse than, Plankton. In the infamous Season 7 episode "One Coarse Meal", he tortured Plankton up to the point where he started feeling suicidal, when Plankton was hardly doing a thing. And he did it for fun. This was his worst moment in the series.
 * 3) *In fact, the series generally depicts Plankton as the one in the wrong in most of the situations where Mr. Krabs is at his worst and Plankton is utterly harmless.
 * 4) He's broken the law and violated workers rights countless times, like once making his employees work twenty-four hours a day. In fact, he's broken more laws than Plankton ever has.
 * 5) Following this, he runs a restaurant with overworked and under paid employees that hardly work for any wage.
 * 6) He goes completely insane if he has to give away as much as a penny, even willing to rip a person's arm off if they wouldn't drop the penny as seen in the Season 3 episode "Born Again Krabs".
 * 7) He pathetically makes huge molehills out of mountains for stupid reasons, such as when the Chum Bucket started getting a regular customer in "Plankton's Regular".
 * 8) He believes that he has full control over SpongeBob's personal life, like in "Karate Choppers".
 * 9) Speaking of which, he barely cares for other people, he even once wanted Squidward to get killed just to sell his paintings for a higher price in "Out of the Picture". So "heroic"! Even worse, he tried to murder Squidward himself with a hammer. This isn't even the only time where he's considered killing his employees for money.
 * 10) He has also committed animal cruelty, particularly when he harvested jellyfish and extracted jelly from them in "Jellyfish Hunter", weakening and even killing a lot of them. In fact, he seems to casually get away with crimes throughout the series or at least not get the proper punishment for them, from imprisonment (several episodes) to stealing ("The Smoking Peanut") to trying to get Plankton to straight up kill himself ("One Coarse Meal") right up to downright attempted murder (Out of the Picture).
 * 11) He sometimes gets no punishment for his actions.
 * 12) He's a huge thief. He once stole an pearl from a zoo oyster, which was revealed to be an egg with a baby clam inside. And instead of apologizing, Mr. Krabs says, "But it's Free Day!".
 * 13) He treats SpongeBob and Squidward like slaves instead of employees. Even to the point of which he refuses to pay them, and make them pay him instead, even for breathing and existing.
 * 14) He has a very strict set of rules for his customers. It’s mandatory to order a side of fries; napkins and refills cost extra; and there are absolutely no freebies for anyone – royalty or not. In fact, according to Mr. Krabs, all money brought into the Krusty Krab must be spent. Even people who aren 't hungry are dragged in and forced to order food. Sure, there's a money back guarantee, but it's so small it's almost impossible to see. No matter what it takes, Krabs will make sure that nobody even goes near his restaurant without emptying their wallets.
 * 15) If he comes across a moldy or rotten patty left out in the open for too long, his first instinct is to reheat it and resell it. You think that's disgusting?; Krabs has also been known to reuse buns that have been flushed down the toilet. Someone needs to tell him that while wasting food is bad, trying to vend a tainted patty to save a few nickels and dimes isn’t worth the risk of poisoning customers. If anything, Krabs should probably lose more money dealing with lawsuits and medical bills.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is not completely heartless, as he sometimes shows compassion for his employees.
 * 2) He occasionally apologizes for his actions, but not so much after Season 5.
 * 3) Despite that he still haven't redeemed himself from flanderization in recent years since Season 9 unlike the rest of the SpongeBob SquarePants cast, he is now much more tolerable than he was in Seasons 6-8.
 * 4) His laugh is amazing, and Clancy Brown portrays him amazingly.
 * 5) The idea of a pirate-influenced crab running a restaurant is still interesting.
 * 6) He spawned the "Moar" meme and so many other funny memes such as the Confused Mr. Krabs meme and the "Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?" meme.
 * 7) He is a decently funny character at times.
 * 8) His backstory of working in the Navy gave him more depth.
 * 9) His character design is good, but his superhero design as Sir-Pinch-A-lot is even better.
 * 10) There are times where he actually parents SpongeBob and Patrick and teaches them important things. Classic examples are when he warned them about the fishing hooks in "Hooky" and scolded them for swearing in "Sailor Mouth".
 * 11) "WHO TOUCHED ME THERMOSTAT?!?" (Krabs a la Mode)
 * 12) "PLANKTON STOLE ME FORMULER???!!!" (Bottle Burgulars)
 * 13) SpongeBob SquarePants would likely not be as great as it is without him.
