His name is “Octo Tentakel” in Dutch

but squids have 10 tentacles….


Squidward, despite his name and number of tentacles, is an octopus.



That feels like a cop out 🙁

Boy do I have some news for you about some of the other characters……..

I’m listening….

Plankton….Ms Puff…..Larry the Lobster…..

Wait who’s Larry

I just wanted to point out that nearly every name in that show is a copout






Dutch cops out a lot on adapting punny names. Part of it is that the puns don’t work, but part of it is that the Dutch are very literal with naming things.

The Count on Sesame Street? Graaf Tel. Count (title) Count (action).

Wow. It apparently took me 32 years to notice The Count has more than one meaning o.o Thanks for making that point clear to a fellow Dutch speaker xD
