* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his initial appearances, Bubble Bass' characterization boiled down to being a total douche whose entire reason for being was both as a snobbish glutton and as a sadistic jerk who antagonized [=SpongeBob=] however he could. Later episodes maintain his initial character trait, but also reformed him into something akin to a local nerd, who lives in his mother's basement and whose interests include playing roleplaying games and collecting action figures and comic books. While he's still a pompous ass, he doesn't go out of his way to make [=SpongeBob=]'s life miserable or treat him as an arch-enemy of sorts - and now usually makes the life of ''everybody'' he interacts with miserable, no longer regarding [=SpongeBob=] as his main target. By "Sea-Man Sponge Haters' Club," he has joined a club that hates [=SpongeBob=] but doesn't actually wish him harm, a far cry from the sadistic joy he took in trying to mentally break him in "Pickles". While only lightly touched on in his first appearance, his VillainousGlutton trait is also played up since his appetite frequently causes problems for the other characters and himself.

** His first appearance in "Pickles", which already had him scam Krabs out of two bucks, also reveals that he evidently stole a woman's car keys, pushing him into a much more serious criminal light and suggesting he's an active con artist and criminal.

** "Pickles" ends with him being exposed as a liar, and thief to the entire town and being forced to run for his life to avoid the consequences, pathetically wheezing due to his poor shape the whole way.
Added DiffLines:
** In "The Big Bad Bubble Bass", he is on the wrong end of a raging Mama Bass when she learns he lied to her about the boys stealing Pigulon from him, and then is finally given the toy.. only to find it's been destroyed beyond all worth by both the chaos of his attempts to steal it and Patrick's Neanderthal treatment of it.

However, as soon as the tables turn on him (Bubble Bass's Tab) or he's caught in the act (Pickles), he chooses either to run away to avoid facing the consequences of his actions or cries to his mother for help.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Bubble Bass is generally a smug, rude and condescending person who loves to behave as though he's superior to everyone...except he's a BasementDweller who's too lazy to get a job, has no friends in his life due to his unpleasant personality, lacks any accomplishments that he can be proud of, and does nothing to achieve his desires of becoming a TV Star. Bubble Bass loves to talk a big game, but when it matters, he has nothing he can boast about.

* VillainOfTheWeek: Bubble Bass served as the main antagonist of "Pickles" and otherwise was only a minor nuisance in "F.U.N." and made a minor cameo in "Fools in April". After a single few cameos in "Plankton's Good Eye", he eventually became a BreakoutVillain and one of the main supporting characters, ultimately growing out of this trope.
* VillainProtagonist: Bubble Bass is occasionally the main character of an episode but sometimes he has nefarious goals in mind, such as trying to steal a toy from the boys in "The Big Bad Bubble Bass". Some episodes like "Swamp Mates", however, have him as the focus without him being the main antagonist of the episode.

* BlatantLies: In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI" when Mermaid Man orders a silly meal for Barnacle Boy, Barnacle Boy claims it's not for the toy but he needs to stay fit, but in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", when he and EVIL went up against Mermaid Man and the International Justice of Super Acquaintances, Barnacle Boy muttered under his breath "There goes our toy deal.", hinting he does collect the toys out of the silly meals.

* HatedByAll: Bubble Bass firmly causes himself to become this when he's exposed as a cheating fraud in "Pickles". Even with the loose continuity of the series not mentioning this event much afterwards, most of Bubble Bass's subsequent appearances show that ''everybody'' hates him for his foul, obnoxious attitude. Sometimes it's because he takes too long to come up with an order, sometimes it's because he's actively harassing and making people's lives miserable - and sometimes he's ''unintentionally'' making people's lives miserable. Either way, Bubble Bass won't win Most Beloved Citizen of Bikini Bottom anytime soon.
