Villain Overview

I'm gonna scrub my armpits with you.
~ Burger-Beard threatening SpongeBob, also his most famous quote.

Burger-Beard the Pirate, or simply known as Burger-Beard, is the main antagonist of Nickelodeon's 27th feature film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.

He is a pirate captain who's bent on becoming the richest food truck owner in the world by stealing the Krabby Patty Secret Formula using a magical book to rewrite the story of SpongeBob SquarePants instead of Plankton. He is also SpongeBob's second archenemy.

He was portrayed by Antonio Banderas, who also played Armand in Interview with the Vampire, Miguel Bain in Assassins, Robert Ledgard in The Skin I Live In, El Cameleón in Machete Kills, Sir Clorex in Justin and the Knights of Valour, Aristotle Papadopoulos in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and Santiago Moncada in Uncharted.

Biography[]

Stealing the Magic Book[]

Burger-Beard makes his first appearance at the beginning of the film, where he steals a magic book and defeats the skeleton pirate who guards it. Though the skeleton pirate defeats him in a fight and sends him flying back to his ship, he still remains victorious due to using the book as a shield and manages to keep the book.

He then starts to read a story to some talking seagulls. Apparently, he seems to know all about SpongeBob and his friends and, from the book, he learns that everyone in Bikini Bottom is happy thanks to the Krabby Patty; the famous and the most delicious burger that is only available in Bikini Bottom. The said burger is also something that is coveted by Plankton, which led to his conflict with Krabs. Aware of the book's immense powers, and obsessed to have the same business as Krabs, Burger-Beard then rewrote the book, which made the recipe instantly teleport on to his ship. Once he succeeded, he converts his ship into a food truck to sell Krabby Patties at a beach community named Salty Shoals. In doing so, Burger-Beard also led Bikini Bottom into a post-apocalyptic state, forcing Plankton and SpongeBob to form an uneasy alliance to solve the mystery. He knew that his actions would bring the destruction of the protagonists' town, but he didn't care.

Defeat[]

When the heroes arrive on his food truck, he busily cooked Krabby Patties. This angered Mr. Krabs, who then demanded an explanation on how he stole the formula and built such a business. Confused by their presence, he checked his magic book and said that the book never foretold this. Knowing that SpongeBob and his friends would take back the recipe, he demonstrated his reality-warping power by writing in the magic book to make it say that SpongeBob and his friends would be teleported away to Pelican Island. Much to their horror, SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward teleported away and materialized on the said island, which is simply a rock full of pelican colonies.

Using Squidward's ink and one of the ripped pages, SpongeBob and the others return to confront Burger-Beard as superheroes with special powers - SpongeBob becomes The Invincibubble, Patrick becomes Mr. Superawesomeness, Squidward becomes Sour Note, Sandy becomes The Rodent, and Mr. Krabs becomes Sir Pinch-a-Lot. Upon reencountering the confused Burger-Beard, Squidward uses his terrible clarinet playing to drive off all of the pirate's customers. After Patrick displays his power of controlling ice cream (ending up eating the ice cream instead of doing anything), Burger-Beard attempts to manipulate the story yet again only for Mr. Krabs to use his robotic claws to pin his arms to his ship and for SpongeBob to create a bubble to float the book away. The heroes prepare to put their hands in the circle to celebrate their victory, and, needing one of his claws, Mr. Krabs takes one back, releasing one of Burger-Beard's hands, unintentionally allowing him to free himself and drive off after the book, forcing the team to give chase.

Burger-Beard and the heroes enter a chaotic chase throughout the city, ultimately resulting in the book falling into a hot element, causing it to ignite and be destroyed. The team attempts to apprehend Burger-Beard, but he easily overpowers them. But when he is about to flee, Plankton, who'd been left on Pelican Island, after hiding in SpongeBob's sock and hopping out, becomes a muscle-bound hero named Plank-Ton and comes to assist them. After retrieving the formula, Plankton and SpongeBob work together to create one final attack that sends Burger-Beard all the way to Bikini Atoll.

Later, in the final scene, Burger Beard's seagulls finds him in the Bikini Atoll island and asks him if he wants to sing, so they start singing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song (resulting in Burger Beard becoming Painty the Pirate), until Bubbles arrives and makes a rap battle against the seagulls, resulting in them winning, as they finish the song. However since Burger-Beard was never seen after the movie, it's completely unknown if he ever escaped from Bikini Atoll or not.

Trivia[]

  • Though his actions are motivated by greed and appeared not as notorious as Plankton in the first film, Burger-Beard is arguably the most dangerous (otherwise cataclysmic) and toughest antagonist of all SpongeBob SquarePants villains, as he easily let Bikini Bottom descent into a post-apocalyptic state by stealing the Krabby Patty recipe through his magic book, having no qualms about the Bikini Bottomites' fate, and it took a super-powered version of main casts, minus Gary, to finally defeat him, and even then, he still came close to succeeding.
  • Beside Plankton himself, he and Plankrab are the only two SpongeBob SquarePants villains who managed to steal the secret formula.
  • Burger-Beard is the first main antagonist in the SpongeBob movie series to be in live action with Plankton and King Poseidon both being animated. He was later followed by Sue Nahmee in Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.
    • However, he is so far the only main antagonist in SpongeBob movie series that is a human, since Sue was actually a cyborg.
  • Originally Patchy the Pirate was supposed to be the main antagonist of the second movie, however, he was removed and replaced by Burger-Beard due to Paramount Pictures requesting to have the main antagonist be played by a celebrity.
  • Burger-Beard was implied to be the pirate from the theme song in the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon.
