    I noticed that a long time ago. And I can't seem to find out why either.

    Oh and I also noticed they're the same size as everyone underwater. They should be like 5 feet taller.

    Because sea sponges are real creatures.

    Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are superheroes, they probably have supergills or something. Though, in the game "Employee of the Month", Barancle Boy does say, "I'll be holding my breath. I am underwater, you know?"

    First of all it's BARNACLE BOY, not barnical :p

    They do look like humans, but I don't think they are 100% humans, because they are super heroes, therefore they have super powers and one them it's definitely being able to breath underwater, and apparently have the same size as these sea creatures do, otherwise they would be too huge to live in Bikini Bottom and save the citizens. Makes sense, huh?

    JellyFishJammer, I totally agree with you. I also thought of that when I first saw them.

    yeah. barnacle boy is probably 50% human, and 50% squid (because the nose is similar to squidward's). mermaid man is...50% mermaid and 50% human. so he has gills but looks human.
