AU = Alternate Universe version
So Gravity Falls would be an AU version of Spongebob, which is why some parts are different, like how the people aren't fish.
Let's start with the most obvious character - Grunkle Stan. He is an evil(?), greedy, selfish (for the most part), old man who comes up with schemes to trick money out of people, and is always cheap when it comes to spending money. Sound familiar? He is also a mentor-like figure to our two protagonists, Mabel and Dipper, but we'll get to those two later.
Stan = Mr. Krabs.
Next we will move on to Soos, who, unlike the Spongebob character he is related to, does indeed work for Mr. Krabs/Grunkle Stan. He is a best friend of one of the protagonists. He is fat, slightly dim-witted, eats a bunch (the chocolate bar), and is always prepared to provide advice to our protagonists (mostly Dipper). He is always ready to lend a well-intentioned hand. This should be beginning to sound really obvious.
Patrick = Soos
Now we will step over to Gideon, Grunkle Stan's rival, and the main antagonist of the show. Unlike the Spongebob character he is related to, this character almost receives as much customers as Grunkle Stan. Also unlike the Spongebob character he is related to, he is mostly fighting against the protagonists of the show, instead of Grunkle Stan, his business rival and the secondary character. Plus, he doesn't attempt to steal Grunkle Stan's secret formula (Grunkle Stan doesn't have one). He attempts to steal his granddaughter, Mabel. This one is almost as easy to guess as Grunkle Stan.
Gideon = Plankton
And since Mr. Krabs/Grunkle Stan is the owner of the Mystery Shack, and Plankton/Gideon is the owner of the Tent of Telepathy, and Gravity Falls is the AU version of Spongebob:
Mystery Shack - Krusty Krab
Tent of Telepathy - Chum Bucket
Since Gideon lost the amulet that gave him his powers to manipulate object, attract customers and read minds, the Tent of Telepathy would probably not be as popular as the Krusty Krab, since Gideon lost the secret that made his station popular. Which means that the Tent of Telepathy will probably end up like the Chum Bucket - deserted, which the exceptional few customers from time to time. Unless Gideon pulls a Mr. Krabs/Grunkle Stan and is able to trick people into coming to the Tent of Telepathy/Chum Bucket.
And now we will move on to the more complicated parts of this theory:
Hmm... what would Dipper and Mabel be? They are both the protagonists of the show, similar to the Spongebob character/s they are related to. Dipper is serious (in a funny way), manly (at least trying to be, in the Dipper vs. Manliness episode), and logical. Mabel is more carefree, silly, at times annoying, and random.
Well, this gets a little weird, but here:
Dipper - Old Spongebob Mabel - New Spongebob
You may be asking yourself, "WTH?", but there's a perfectly rational explanation for this (as said by Dipper).
Old Spongebob/Dipper (before the movie) is funnier, a little more serious, more manlier (sure Spongebob is weak as dirt, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he was a manly-man, at least more manly than New Spongebob), a little more down-to-earth, and smarter (compared to New Spongebob's dumbness). Not to mention Old Spongebob's deeper voice.
New Spongebob/Mabel (after the movie) is silly, random, annoying (at times), girly (girlier than Old Spongebob), a complete idiot (well, Mabel isn't as idiotic), has a higher voice, and is more spastic and jumpy and crazy than Old Spongebob that you have to wonder what New Spongebob is on. In other words, New Spongebob/Mabel has his/her head stuck in the clouds.
Now, for a little less weird, Wendy. Unlike the Spongebob character she is related to, she is a GIRL, and is a best friend/tolerates the Spongebobs. And, unlike the Spongebob character, she has a social life. She is a lazy employee of the Krusty Krab/Mystery Shack ("I would, but I can't reach."), and is admired by Spongebob (if any of you remember when Spongebob says, "I like _______", in a suggestive voice. Well, it's one of the newer episodes, so I can't expect much of you to get it.). She likes seeing Dipper/Spongebob embarrass himself (The Lamby Dance scene from episode 5), though unlike the Spongebob character, she respects Spongebob. Okay, I will stop giving more hints.
Wendy = Squidward.
And for a smaller character, Old Man McGucket. He is the oldest dude in Gravity Falls.
Old Man McGucket = Old Man Jenkins
And the minor-er characters, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland. The useless police officers.
Blubs and Durland = The useless police fish
And, finally, the residents of Gravity Falls. They are very gullible to Mr. Krabs/Grunkle Stan's schemes, and believe everything they hear, as well as follow the herd.
The other people = The Bikini Bottomites (the citizen fish)
Unfortunately, I could not find a "Sandy Cheeks" in the show, nor do I know what the Eldritch Abominations (the monsters), the creepy forest, or the Journals (At first I thought it represented the secret formula, but I remembered that Gideon has one too, as seen in Episode 4), represent.
But I have faith in my theory even though it makes almost no sense. |

Nah, Wendy isn't smart or strong or brave.
The only similarity is that she's a girl. |
