Incidental 34[1], also known as the distant incidentals[2] and the crowd, are a group of incidental characters who debut in "Ripped Pants." Their incidental type is currently unknown although they are known not to be "hotdogs."
Each Incidental 34 has its own physical appearance. Due to being functioned as fish who are far in the distance, they do not have much design like the other incidental characters. All of their eyes are white with no visible pupils. Their regular model sheet includes eleven designs (34A through 34K), but a twelfth design (34L) does exist, although it is exclusive to Incidental 34s' formal designs only.

Crowd[]
Before becoming Incidental 34, the distant incidentals were known as the "crowd" which instead were distant characters who have the color palettes of other regular incidentals rather than having their own palettes (with the exception of Incidentals 84 and 85 who do have their own color palettes).
Incidentals 34A, 34B, 34C, 34E, and 34J watching the air show, larger and more detailed compared to most appearances.
In a few episodes, such as "Valentine's Day," "The Good Krabby Name," "Sandy's Nutmare," and "Snail Mail," some of them appear much larger than usual and are drawn with pupils, unlike in most appearances. These include Incidentals 34A and 34B behind the fortune teller tent in "Valentine's Day" and Incidentals 34A (34F-colored), 34B (normal and 34I-colored), 34C (normal and 34G-colored), 34E, and 34J (normal and 34A-colored) watching the Bikini Bottom Air Show in "Snail Mail."
Although Incidental 34C usually has an angry expression, he smiles and cheers for handsome Squidward in "The Two Faces of Squidward," for the Chum Coliseum show in "Spongicus," for "The Suction Cup Symphony" at the end of "Suction Cup Symphony," for Squidward's House Party at the end of "Tentacle-Vision," for Squidward's imagined Philharmonic Concert Hall duet with Howard in "New Fish in Town," for Kenny the Cat in "Kenny the Cat," and for SpongeBob in the virtual reality sequence of "Girls' Night Out."
Recolored versions of some of these incidentals appear on the Spongicus DVD cover.
Their model number, Incidental37's model number, Incidental 50's model number, Incidental 157's model number, and the original Incidental 160's model number are the only incidental model numbers who have more than one character that shares the same model number.
Incidentals 1 and 6 having the same model poses as their crowd variants.
In "Buff for Puff," Incidentals 1 and 6 can be seen having the same model poses as their crowd variants in one scene.
They, Incidental 21, and Incidental 29 are the only incidentals present on the original incidental model sheet that haven’t had their own speaking role.
