The episode "Treats!" reveals that Gary was adopted. It is suggested that SpongeBob had Gary when he lived with his parents as a really young boy. He had an extensive library, which is a possible metaphor for intelligence. In the episode "Tutor Sauce," Gary is shown to be a good driver, as he is able to drive through the most dangerous road in Bikini Bottom, with no issue whatsoever (except the cops stopping the boat). In "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," the Bikini Bottomites were chanting "all hail Plankton," while Gary chanted monotonously "meow, Plankton." He may even be more intelligent than all the main characters (excluding Plankton), which is hinted to in "Sleepy Time," where Gary spoke in his dream (that SpongeBob was rudely interrupting) and sounded very old and wise. In "The Secret Box," Gary responded to SpongeBob's question with "Meow-no." SpongeBob did not think much of it and replied, "Aww, what do you know? You're a snail!" SpongeBob did not recognize it as special, perhaps meaning that it was not the first time that Gary spoke. In many episodes, it has been indicated that Gary has great intelligence (for snails at least). In "Opposite Day," Gary reverses this stereotype, barking like a dog. In "Your Shoe's Untied," "Frozen Face-Off," "Squid Defense" and "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water", he is shown to be able to roar, and he screeches like a cat in "The Thing," "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" and "Grooming Gary." From Season 4 onwards, Gary has made cat sound effects when he is startled or angry, to further reinforce the connection between snails and cats. It has been known for Gary to say things other than "meow", but this is unusual. Gary is known for his characteristic "meow"-in contrast to the barking of the sea worms, suggesting that snails (like Gary) are equivalent to our cats and that worms are equivalent to our dogs. However, as the series progressed, Gary developed a personality of his own beyond just saying "meow." He was eventually added to the show's Main Model Pack on Maand became one of the ten main characters. Gary was originally intended to be a minor joke character that would appear in the background of SpongeBob's bedroom, just like SpongeBob's pet scallop Shelley. In "Plankton's Pet," SpongeBob reveals to have bought Gary at the animal shelter. The episode "Treats!" reveals that Gary was adopted by SpongeBob. It has been suggested that SpongeBob has had Gary ever since he was a young boy. He also has some abilities of dogs, from fetching to doing tricks. He is a domesticated house pet with similar mannerisms to the real-world cat, most notably his "meow" sound, as snails are the underwater equivalent to cats in the show. Gary is voiced by Tom Kenny and first appears in the pilot episode, "Help Wanted." He can speak in words just like the other snails in the hit series "The Adventures Of Gary The Snail. He lives with SpongeBob in his pineapple house on 124 Conch Street. This was overall such a nicely done simple, yet creative episode.Garold Gareth "Gary" Wilson, Jr. is SpongeBob SquarePants' pet sea snail. The ending with Patrick was kind of cute after how he screwed shit up at the beginning. That was really creative and awesome and it doubled down on it once Bubble Bass ruined everything. What made the episode extra fun was the climax which was SpongeBo creating chain reaction to all the clocks he ever bought. The clock salesman getting instant rich had a laugh out of me as well. The whole sequence of SpongeBob getting late over and over was actually humorous. The clock marking Squidward's head actually cracked me up and I normally don't like physical humor towards Squidward. I enjoyed how everyone thought SpongeBob was dead and them going inside to fool themselves into thinking Gary was eating him. Not all jokes worked though, Patrick at the beginning irritated me and the episode was loud at times but generally speaking the episode had some good laughs. I was somewhat skeptical of the premise because how can you make an episode about alarm clocks engaging? Then again, the show has proved time and time making simplistic premises into something unique but post-movie and post-sequel weren't good at this technique sometimes.
