Paul Harrison Tibbitt IV is a former SpongeBob SquarePants crew member. He was a writer for many of the show's earliest and most influential episodes, including "Chocolate with Nuts," "Frankendoodle," "Idiot Box," "Krab Borg," "Culture Shock," and "Rock Bottom." He also played other roles on the show, such as composing the song "Electric Zoo" and voicing DoodleBob.
Stephen Hillenburg appointed Tibbitt to take over the position of showrunner after the first movie, when Hillenburg resigned as showrunner. Tibbitt also took over as the voice of Hillenburg's character Potty the Parrot.
Hillenburg: "I selected Paul [Tibbitt] to produce. I totally trusted him. I always enjoyed the way he captured the SpongeBob character's sense of humor."[1]
After the second movie, he was credited as executive producer for the remainder of season 9. He was replaced as showrunner by both Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli in 2015, starting with "Lost in Bikini Bottom."[2]
•In the original airing of "Ripped Pants," his name is misspelled as "Paul Tibibitt" with an extra I in his surname when credited as storyboard director in the opening credits. However, his name is spelled correctly when later credited as a writer. This error also happens with Mark O'Hare whose name is misspelled as "Mark O'hare" with a lowercase 'h'. These errors were corrected on Amazon releases, later reruns, and DVD releases.[citation needed]
•In the opening credits for "My Pretty Seahorse," his name is misspelled with the final 'T' removed. This mistake was fixed on the Halloween DVD release.
•He made sketch cards in the 2009 Topps SpongeBob set.
•Archival recordings of Paul Tibbitt's DoodleBob voice were used in "Doodle Dimension." Tibbitt himself was not called back to provide the voice again.[6]
