Today we look at the history of Sandy Cheeks.
Yeehaw!
The earliest known fossilized squirrel date from the Eocene Period.
You know, I think we can skip ahead a little bit.
Keep going, keep going. Oh, too far.
Yes, there.
The first known ancestor of Sandy, Dark Knight.
Halt! Who goes there?
Doth mine eyes betray me?
'Tis the nefarious Dark Knight.
Dark Knight lived during medieval times in Bikini Bottom.
She's clearly much larger than Sandy in stature,
and has yet to develop Sandy's self-contained
underwater breathing apparatus.
It is here we see the first instance of a Cheeks family member
practicing the art of karate.
We can assume Dark Knight
passed down these valuable lessons to Sandy.
For I will follow you on your quest to defeat Planktonamor.
And learn a trifle of that karate.
Yeah, karate!
[screaming]
Oweth.
Many generations and squirrels later, we briefly meet the next
recorded ancestor of Sandy Cheeks.
Don't blink or you might miss her.
There, did you see her?
Let's see that again.
This footage was recovered from Dead Eye Gulch,
and is the only visual evidence we have of Sandy's western ancestor.
Notice how this is the first ancestor wearing a helmet.
And the cowboy hat on top if definitely a look.
Hold on a minute. Is it possible the hat was passed down
all the way to her underwater descendant, Sandy?
[laughing]
Aw, shucks.
The next family member we know about is Grandpa Cheeks.
Grandpa presumably lives a quiet life in Texas, as he is never seen.
But Sandy still has fond memories of him.
And let's not forget my Grand Pappy's favorite,
the Tour de Saturn.
Star gazer.
Grandpa meets an unknown grandma,
who is seemingly just as reclusive as he is.
Yada-yada-yada, meet Pa Cheeks.
Sandy, this is your pappy speaking,
and I forbid you to go after this worm.
Y'all come back here, young lady.
You ain't my Pa.
No, that ain't her Pa. This is Pa Cheeks.
Nope, that's a picture of an acorn.
This-- No, that's Sandy's diploma.
To the left. No, other left. Stop!
This is Pa and Ma Cheeks, and cute little baby Sandy.
Although an old photo,
it's hard to dismiss the similarities to Sandy.
Sorry. Gotta go back. We missed someone.
Grandpa Cheeks has a sister, Rosie, Sandy's most famous relative.
My Great Aunt Rosie Cheeks was the first squirrel
to discover oil at Spindletop, Texas.
She's ready to blow!
Yeah, seems legit.
OK, where were we? Right, back to Pa.
We know he had a sibling,
because Sandy has at least 100 woodchuck cousins,
one of which is named Earl.
Ready, Cousin Earl?
Let her rip, darlin'.
100 woodchucks chucked.
Record broken.
Thanks for all your help, cousins.
[yelling]
See you all next Christmas. Bye!
She also... has a Scottish cousin? No way that's true.
Ay, 'tis true.
Pa and Ma Cheeks have three kids.
There's Randy, Sandy's twin brother.
It's a letter from my twin brother, Randy.
Randy says the rodeo has come to town! I've gotta head back to Texas,
and defend my championship title.
Championship title? For what?
You got cotton in your ears?
Hm, no, it's not cotton.
It's actually an old moldy piece of Krabby Patty.
And Rosy, not to be confused with Great Aunt Rosie.
[buzzer]
Rosy looks like Sandy,
but seems as if she's been preparing for winter a little too long.
Hiya, sis!
She lives in a trailer in Texas and has three daughters,
Macadamia, Hazelnut and Pistachio.
No, not that.
[buzzer]
- This one here is Macadamia. - How do you?
- Hazelnut. - How do you?
- And little Pistachio. - How--
[burping]
All they want to do is wrassle.
Now you girls go easy on me, OK?
[screaming]
That brings us to the one and only, Sandy Cheeks.
Yeehaw!
Sandy grew up in Texas, but was sent to Bikini Bottom
to study the undersea life.
Back in Texas, I wrangled bulls and I wrangled worms.
Sandy is most commonly seen in her suit for oxygen.
This old thing? It's just something I threw on.
Which is white and has a yellow patch with an acorn on it.
The suit comes with a big glass helmet with a pink and yellow flower on it.
She also wears grey boots with one red dot on each side of them.
Having come from Texas, Sandy speaks with a heavy southern accent,
and uses typical southern slang.
Back in Texas, we call ice cream 'frozen cow juice'.
I'll be over there faster than a barefoot jackrabbit
on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August--
Yeah OK, Sandy, thanks.
She's very athletic and loves karate,
a skill in her family dating back to medieval times.
How about we talk about some other Bikini Bottomites
that bare a strange resemblance to Sandy, like Miss Appear.
Now you see her, now you don't.
Does this outfit make me look fat?
Super Sandy.
[shrieking]
And Mr. Pavlovi.
How would you like a nice free bowl of tutsi frutsi ice cream?
Alright, here are all known members of the Cheeks family tree.
Join us next time as we discover the interesting ancestry
in yet another chapter of Nickelodeon's history,
in what could be our longest episode yet.
Of course, you remember Zeke, Rufus, Gee, Billy Bob,
Billy Jim, Billy-Billy Banana Fana Fo-Filly,
Doug, Ines...
- Fletcher McGee, Rain Child... - Alright, I get it!
I mean, come inside. Make yourself at home.
