SquidBob

SquidBob is the slash ship between SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward Tentacles from the SpongeBob SquarePants fandom.

Canon
SpongeBob and Squidward are next-door neighbors and have met each other for the first time when SpongeBob moved out of his parents' home. Since the pineapple that would become SpongeBob's house crushed Squidward's decorative garden, he had an immediate reason to dislike the sponge.

Season 1
In "Help Wanted", Squidward is working at the Krusty Krab when he hears that SpongeBob wants to be hired as a fry cook, a life-long dream of his. Squidward is devastated at the thought of having to tolerate SpongeBob's antics at work and pleads Mr. Krabs to not hire the sponge, happy that Mr. Krabs tricked him into getting a high-tech spatula to get rid of him. But when the Krusty Krab is overrun by a few busloads of hungry anchovies, SpongeBob shows up at the Krusty Krab with his new spatula coming to rescue Mr. Krabs and Squidward. Though Squidward is not happy about SpongeBob securing the job having saved both of their lives, he admits defeat.

In "Reef Blower", Squidward is just trying to enjoy a nice quiet day outside of his house, only for SpongeBob to continuously interrupt it by blowing a shell away with his reef blower. Though it is very clear that SpongeBob is sorry for ruining Squidward's meal, trying to make up for it by cleaning the sand off of his salad. Though trying to suck the sand away leads to the reef blower exploding, the episode ends with SpongeBob being happy about a clean lawn while Squidward mopes about his lawn being covered in sand.

In "Bubblestand", SpongeBob is setting up a bubblestand right on Squidward's lawn, trying his hardest to be done with it quickly so that Squidward wouldn't be too disturbed. Then he badgers Squidward to blow a bubble for only 25 cents, only to quickly discover that Squidward has no talent. He then offers training, which Squidward reluctantly takes, SpongeBob and Patrick hyping him up to the point that Squidward blows a bubble so huge that it engulfs his house, with Squidward blissfully unaware. When Squidward's house starts to float away with Squidward inside, SpongeBob and Patrick cry out to him in desperation. The bubble then pops with the house smashing back into the ground, SpongeBob and Patrick return to their own houses in shame.

Fanon
SquidBob is the most popular ship in the SpongeBob fandom. Some ship it as a couple while some ship it as a friendship. Generally, it has become a bit of a meme to point out that the ship's popularity is a no-brainer, with someone comparing it to projecting Squidward's snarky attitude and Spongebob's sweet and kind personality onto two anime girls and nobody would question why this is the big ship.

In the SpongeBob shipping community, all slash pairings supposedly have beef with Spandy, due to SpongeBob explicitly having a crush on Sandy, yet also having chemistry with pretty much every male character (except Gary). Within the slash shipping community, PatBob is considered its biggest rival.
