Mr. Weiner is one of the main antagonists of SpongeBob SquarePants episode "SpongeBob, You're Fired!". He is the owner of the restaurant establishment Weenie Hut.
Appearance[]
Mister Weiner is a tall light green fish with dark spring-green fins and legs. He wears a hot dog suit, a blue and white striped shirt over the weenie suit with a light yellow undershirt, a blue bow tie, and a cardboard hat.
Personality[]
Mister Weiner is shown to be an expressionless, shallow person who speaks in a deadpan tone of voice and exhibits little dedication to his job. He is shown to have a weakness to SpongeBob's annoyance, and like Squidward, seems to fall victim to slapstick and abuse, as seen when SpongeBob accidentally slams the door on him and when he got hit by a bus.
He also has a criminal record, as he falsely imprisons SpongeBob by chaining him to the grill and kidnapping him against his will.
Despite his disapproval for SpongeBob's Krabby Patty-like sliders, he is shown to have a fondness for the Krusty Krab at the end.
