Patrick Star

**Patrick** **Star** (born August 17), is one of the ten main characters of the animated series, *SpongeBob SquarePants*, He is SpongeBob's best friend as well as one of his two neighbors.

He is a naïve and overweight pink sea star. He is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke and first appears in Help Wanted.

He lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Squidward are his two neighbors, and, when viewed on the front side, are to the right of his residence.

He and SpongeBob both tend to bother Squidward; though they do it unknowingly and have good intentions.

## Background

Patrick is lazy, dim-witted, unmannerly, naïve, and generally ignorant. Despite being portrayed as a full-grown adult, Patrick acts very immature and partakes in many childish activities with SpongeBob. Patrick's personality is similar to SpongeBob's, but they are not interchangeable, as SpongeBob is a lot more intelligent, responsible, optimistic, mannerly, and down-to-earth than Patrick. His dim-wittedness often annoys SpongeBob and Patrick and causes both him and Squidward a lot of problems. He and SpongeBob often annoy Squidward unknowingly due to SpongeBob's laugh and impulsiveness and Patrick's stupidity.

He has a short temper and occasionally exhibits psychopathic behavior if something upsets him. In "Nature Pants," Patrick goes on a psycho-spree throughout Jellyfish Fields and attempts to kidnap SpongeBob when he has decided to leave his pineapple home and live with the jellyfish. In "Valentine's Day," Patrick goes on a rampage and causes mass disruption at the carnival in response to having yet to receive a present from SpongeBob while seeing that he gave presents to everyone else. This includes ripping off the heart man's costume, attempting to destroy the Heart-a-Whirl, and stealing a little girl's lollipop and eating it violently in front of her. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick furiously scrapes the top of a broomstick against the Krusty Krab floorboards out of anger that he can't do anything right. In the same episode, he also shouted at a customer and slammed the phone for thinking the customer called him a "Krusty Krab," even though they were referring to the restaurant. In "The Fry Cook Games," he goes berserk when SpongeBob erases a part of his name tag to make it say "Rick." In "No Weenies Allowed," Patrick gets angry whenever he is called "Tubby," and punches SpongeBob for calling him that.

Due to his lack of superiority in contrast to the other characters, Patrick suffers from low self-esteem and can exhibit varying levels of jealousy when witnessing the success of others. In "No Hat for Pat" and "Patrick-Man!," Patrick shows jealousy to SpongeBob for having a job and special worker's hat. Patrick's jealousy is also a driving point on the plot in "No Nose Knows," where he expresses his insecurity over being in the minority of citizens without a nose, prompting him to get one through plastic surgery. In "The Executive Treatment," Patrick willingly impersonates an executive out of jealousy toward their exclusive ability to purchase a special Krabby Patty. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick wears SpongeBob's shirt and models his rock after SpongeBob's pineapple to emulate his lifestyle and prove he is worthy of an award.

He also joins in with the exploits of others, usually SpongeBob, to fit in. In "Mid-Life Crustacean," Patrick, SpongeBob, and Mr. Krabs attempt to steal Betsy Krabs' panties, as part of the "panty raid." In "Doing Time," Patrick assists SpongeBob in his local bank robbery scheme, intent on getting arrested to free Mrs. Puff from jail. In "Opposite Day," he and SpongeBob impersonate Squidward and claim his house as their property, intent on annoying the real estate agent and preventing Squidward from moving out of town. In "Chocolate with Nuts," as a means to boost their profit as salesmen, SpongeBob and Patrick spread lies to their customers about the chocolate bars they're selling, claiming them to have special abilities.

Patrick has an unusual mean streak that - depending on the episode, is either exhibited out of jealousy, low self-esteem, acquired situational narcissism, or simply stupidity. He is also shown to lose respect for others and become obsessed when obtaining some form of power, talent, wealth, or publicity, and it usually drives him apart from SpongeBob. In "Rule of Dumb," when he becomes the king of Bikini Bottom, he abuses his authority by stealing from others and using his fame to cover up his arrogant attitude, acting like the world revolves around him, and becomes a ruthless tyrant and goes mad with power. In "Karate Star," Patrick gains a talent in karate and obsessively uses it everywhere around Bikini Bottom regardless of the circumstances until SpongeBob talks him out of it at the end. In "Patrick-Man!," Patrick's superhero alter-ego goes to his head and causes him to frame innocent citizens for crimes. It is not until he realizes how tedious being a hero is that he stops. In "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?," Patrick becomes famous and rich as a result of his new occupation as the frozen Krabby Patty mascot, which causes him to betray SpongeBob on account of his acquired superiority.

Patrick's stupidity and aggressive behavior extends to damaging property owned by others. In "Christmas Who?," he and SpongeBob chop down Squidward's coral tree without his consent so they can make room for a Christmas tree. In "Wet Painters," Patrick destroys Mr. Krabs' computer by smashing it on the dollar to eliminate the paint stain, which obviously backfires. In "Squidtastic Voyage," he destroys the control panel of Sandy's submarine with an axe after thinking she's trapped in the speaker since her voice is heard through there. In "Pat No Pay," Patrick's misuse of the trash disposal causes the Krusty Krab to explode. In "The Card," Patrick endangers a trading card that belongs to SpongeBob by using it to clean his teeth, using it to unlock his rock when he can't find his key, using it to scrape the rust off his barbecue grill, and finally using it as a napkin to wipe off the cheese from the burgers he ate, which leads to the card's destruction. In "Karate Star," Patrick's love for karate goes to his head and results in him karate-chopping nearly everything he sees in public, eventually leading to the destruction of the Barg'N-Mart. In "Big Sister Sam," he allows his sister to demolish SpongeBob and Squidward's houses. In "Sandy's Nutmare," when Sandy learns that her tree is dying, Patrick, attempts to chop down her tree for the wood with a hatchet. When Sandy tells him she can save her tree with science, Patrick throws the hatchet, which makes a hole in the tree dome for water to come through.

Patrick is also selfish and sometimes a bad friend towards SpongeBob, often endangering him, sometimes intentionally and other times because of his dim-whiteness. In "Yours, Mine and Mine," SpongeBob orders a meal at the Krusty Krab and shares it with Patrick. When Patrick complains about the exclusion of a toy, Mr. Krabs makes a new Krabby Patty toy which was for both SpongeBob and Patrick. SpongeBob lets Patrick play with it until the morning, and when the morning arrives SpongeBob tells Patrick to give him a turn, but Patrick hogs the toy and refuses to share it with SpongeBob. He ends up eating it when he decides neither one of them gets to share it. In "Dumped," Patrick insists that Gary likes him now and that he wants to be his pet instead of SpongeBob's, letting him stay in his rock and refusing to give him back to SpongeBob. In "I'm with Stupid," Patrick's parents are coming to visit Patrick and Patrick believes his parents think he's stupid, so SpongeBob agrees to pretend to be an idiot so Patrick would look smart in comparison. The plan works as SpongeBob successfully convinces Patrick's parents that he is stupid, but Patrick then treats SpongeBob as if he were that dumb, which makes his parents think that Patrick taught him to become smarter which drives SpongeBob nuts. In "Stuck in the Wringer," Patrick causes SpongeBob to become stuck in his bathroom wringer with his Forever Glue, which causes SpongeBob a lot of problems and makes him a disturbance to everyone. In "Suds," when SpongeBob got the suds he called Sandy to take him to the doctor, but Patrick tells SpongeBob not to go to the doctor because it's "a horrible, horrible place." He then pretends to be a doctor and does his treatment to try to cure SpongeBob, but it only caused him to inflate. In "The Splinter," he once again pretends to be a doctor. SpongeBob asks Patrick to get rid of the splinter, but he only made it worse by hitting a hammer through it and rubbing garbage in the wound, causing it to swell up and produce pus. In "Fungus Among Us," he made SpongeBob's ick worse by creating a mobile bubble after popping SpongeBob's quarantine bubble. In "Something Smells," Patrick convinces SpongeBob that the reason everyone has been avoiding him is because he is ugly, even though his bad breath caused by the peanut-onion sundae is what's causing them to turn away from them. In "Hooky," Patrick tries to persuade SpongeBob to skip work to play on the hooks with him even after Mr. Krabs told them how dangerous they are, and tells SpongeBob not to listen to Mr. Krabs. In "Driven to Tears," Patrick tries to make SpongeBob jealous of his new driver's license and literally rubs it in his face. He also caused mass destruction by running three red lights and makes an illegal u-turn through an orphanage. In "Life of Crime," he gets mad at SpongeBob and blames him for eating his chocolate bar when he already ate his.

Patrick is shown to have a hypocritical side, as he tries to act as a mentor to SpongeBob, but ends up taking his own advice for granted. In "Grandma's Kisses," he tells SpongeBob to act like a grown-up so his grandmother will stop kissing him, but later behaves like a baby himself by thriving on being fed cookies and read stories to by Grandma SquarePants. When SpongeBob points out his hypocrisy, Patrick says that being a "grown-up" is boring and that he likes being a baby. In "Something Smells," when SpongeBob believes that he is shunned by everyone in town because they think he is ugly, Patrick tells him that he should accept his ugliness. Later, Patrick thinks he caught SpongeBob's ugliness and refuses to accept it, declaring that he was once one of the "beautiful people." In "Yours, Mine and Mine," Patrick agrees to share the kid's meal with SpongeBob, but later eats it all and hogs the Krabby Patty toy; when SpongeBob tries to reason with him, Patrick scolds SpongeBob over his lack of sharing, when Patrick himself is hogging the toy. In "Little Yellow Book," Patrick is among the many people who laugh at SpongeBob's secrets revealed by Squidward, but he later joins in on lambasting Squidward for doing so when SpongeBob runs away crying, throwing fruit at Squidward and calling him a "diary reader." When Squidward points out that Patrick also reads the diary, Patrick blows him off and accuses him of "blaming everyone else."

Despite this, he still wants to help his friends, even if he doesn't do it right. He enjoys spending time with SpongeBob and will always turn to him when things don't seem right. Patrick is a nice person at heart and has had many positive interactions with the townspeople; he even genuinely cares about Squidward despite the latter's open dislike towards him and SpongeBob.

### Intelligence

Patrick is well-known for his dimwitted, naïve, and lazy nature. He wants to spend time dwelling in his rock and lacks common sense, which often means that he is incapable of doing things right, as explained when he was briefly employed at the Krusty Krab while trying to earn an award in "Big Pink Loser." Patrick occasionally lacks a basic understanding of everyday concepts and tends to make up his own words.

In some episodes, Patrick has trouble with even the most rudimentary tasks and displays little common sense or intelligence. His can forget how to do the most instinctual of actions, such as eating or falling over. He once forgot that he ate a chocolate bar the second after he ate it in "Life of Crime," and can't open a jar without assistance in "Big Pink Loser."

However, in some episodes, he is shown to be even smarter than SpongeBob, most notably in "Jellyfishing," when he realized that Squidward doesn't like them, but SpongeBob didn't.

At other times, he can appear almost so brilliant that it surprises the other characters, and is prone to fits of temporary intelligence, which the other characters question and may not even understand themselves. Often however, he immediately forgets the articulated sentence that he had just said when asked about it further. In earlier episodes, Patrick appeared to be somewhat more intelligent, often making profound comments and being very articulate, such as when he, having got paint on Mr. Krabs' first dollar with SpongeBob, complained about the fact that his first dollar is just an ordinary dollar and they should replace it with another ordinary dollar, though he forgets about it at the end and ends up buying a candy bar. In "Help Wanted," Patrick was shown to be more competent when it came to giving advice, as he encouraged SpongeBob to apply for his lifelong dream job. In "SB-129," Patrick seems to be aware of Squidward's hatred toward him and SpongeBob, though in later episodes he is just as oblivious as SpongeBob in terms of their annoyance to Squidward. Sometimes, Patrick has sudden brief outbursts of intelligent responses, as seen in the episode "SpongeBob's Last Stand," he tells SpongeBob how the Shelly Superhighway will destroy the ecosystem, seemingly out of nowhere, because he has no prior knowledge of ecology.

In "Squidtastic Voyage," he shocks SpongeBob and Sandy by coming up with a brilliant solution to refuel their empty gas tanks to escape Squidward's stomach. In "Sailor Mouth," when looking at words on a dumpster, he has trouble reading the word "krabs" but can read the curse word fine, and tells SpongeBob it's a "sentence enhancer," thus convincing him to curse on a regular basis. In "The Secret Box," he says "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma."

He also has displayed some common sense and wisdom in some episodes, such as when he warned SpongeBob that he would go broke if he kept giving away his money in "Porous Pockets" and told SpongeBob that when he has money he has to do more than just spend it; he has to have a plan first. When SpongeBob admits he was wrong about the money and his "friends," Patrick replies with "There is no right or wrong when it comes to that stuff SpongeBob, there just either is or there isn't." In "That's No Lady," Patrick realizes that he should not pretend to be someone he is not. In "Patty Hype," when SpongeBob's Pretty Patties were not selling, SpongeBob gets discouraged, and Patrick says "SpongeBob, sometimes we have to go deep inside ourselves to solve our problems," causing Patrick to literally go inside one of SpongeBob's pores. In "The Lost Mattress," Patrick was able to figure out everything that SpongeBob didn't, like how Squidward was planning for them to get eaten by the guard worm by calling them "worm bait" and he quickly realized that the guard worm liked the wooden spoon SpongeBob was holding. He is also shown to be an excellent driver unlike SpongeBob, as shown in "Driven to Tears" when he got a perfect score on his boating test and got his boating license, both of which SpongeBob failed at hundreds of times. In "Boating School," he helped SpongeBob cheat on his boating exam by telling him exactly how to drive properly. In "CopyBob DittoPants," he says the line "life is but a walking shadow" after all the copies disappeared. In "The Patterfly Effect," Patrick is able to successfully graduate from college and reinvent a time closet from scratch.

Patrick seems to detect malice and sarcasm more easily than SpongeBob. He also displays witty banter at times and often can be sarcastic. He is generally well-intentioned but often inadvertently causes trouble, for both himself and also his friends, such as in "Patrick-Man!" when he gets Mrs. Puff arrested and trashes the Krusty Krab, although he also ended up *saving* the Krusty Krab from the Dirty Bubble.

### Interests and hobbies

Patrick mainly likes to dwell under his rock and act lazy and unproductive. He usually partakes in sitting on the couch, watching TV, eating junk food, and sleeping. However, he does go outside every now and then, typically to hang out with SpongeBob. Whenever doing so, he and SpongeBob like to indulge in their two favorite hobbies: bubble blowing and jellyfishing. He is also shown to enjoy sand-boarding, even if he is not very good at it. In addition to bubble-blowing and jellyfishing, Patrick and SpongeBob have a fondness for engaging in childlike activities, such as playing pretend, toys, and board games, as exemplified in numerous episodes throughout the series, like "Toy Store of Doom" and "A Friendly Game."

Patrick has an obsession with junk food and will stop at nothing to fulfill his enormous appetite. He is a Krusty Krab regular and enjoys eating their Krabby Patties, as well as Triple Gooberberry Sunrises from Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat. He has a bizarre taste in food and has low standards when it comes to appetite: His favorite flavor of ice cream is Dill Pickle Swirl with mustard and bacon bits, and he enjoyed some of SpongeBob's peanut onion sundae in "Something Smells." He often rummages through garbage cans and dumpsters and eats the thrown-away foods. Patrick has shown himself willing to consume inedible sources, and notably enjoys them: In "Little Yellow Book," he eats diapers covered in ketchup. In "Pet Sitter Pat" and "Gary's New Toy," he has no problem eating snail food.

Like SpongeBob, Patrick's favorite television series is *The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy*. He idolizes the titular duo and views them as role models. Patrick and SpongeBob occasionally dress up as them and emulate their heroic antics.

Patrick and SpongeBob like to go to Glove World!, a glove-themed amusement park in Bikini Bottom. They show their dedication to the park by buying its merchandise and wearing their marketed apparel.

One of SpongeBob and Patrick's favorite TV shows is *The Sir Urchin & Snail Fail Show!*

### Abilities and talents

Patrick, although mentally weak and naïve, has many skills, such as:

* **CPR administration**: In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors," Patrick shows the ability to utilize CPR as he uses it to save Squidward after he nearly chokes on a fork. He also displays his CPR administration skills in "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" when he and SpongeBob believe that they "killed" Squidward, albeit to no avail since in reality, Squidward wasn't dead, rather they accidentally destroyed a wax sculpture of him. He also performs CPR on Bubble Bass in "Swamp Mates" while he was unconscious.
* **Dancing**: Patrick once jazz-danced with SpongeBob in "Squidtastic Voyage" and wanted to go square-dancing with Squidward in "Just One Bite," but Squidward didn't want to do it, which made Patrick feel sad.
* **Disguising**: In "That's No Lady," Patrick stays in disguise as "Patricia" for a long time. He takes off the suit, embarrassing Squidward and Mr. Krabs.
* **Doing absolutely nothing**: In "Big Pink Loser," he gets an award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else." In "Club SpongeBob," he and SpongeBob sit and do nothing for days. In "The Pink Purloiner," he does nothing for 8 hours straight, while SpongeBob is spying on him. In "Stanley S. SquarePants," Patrick shows SpongeBob and Stanley the art of doing nothing.
* **Driving**: Patrick has shown to be an excellent driver, unlike SpongeBob as seen in "Driven to Tears." He also gives SpongeBob proper advice on how to ace his boating test in "Boating School." In "FarmerBob," he is revealed to have a driver's license and tractor's license.
* **Drumming**: When it comes to music, Patrick's main instrument is the drums. He is SpongeBob & The Hi-Seas' drummer and was the lead drummer in the Bikini Bottom Super Band. He also drums at the end of the "Campfire Song Song" in "The Camping Episode," during "Together" in "The Inmates of Summer," and on *Squidward's House Party* in "Tentacle-Vision." He even plays a drum solo on his stomach in "Krabby Road."
* **Eating**: Patrick is shown to have an enormous appetite and can swallow large amounts of food in one bite. In "Pressure," Patrick eats a Deluxe Krabby Patty in one bite. He also eats an entire table of breakfast foods in "Rock-a-Bye-Bivalve." He was once able to eat 1,000 Krabby Patties in 5 minutes, which is seen in "What's Eating Patrick?" Patrick seems to be able to use his mouth like a vacuum cleaner, as seen when he devours the various picnic foods in "Club SpongeBob" and the high quantity of Krabby Patties with extra cheese in "Pat No Pay."
* **Jellyfishing**: Patrick sometimes forgets how to jellyfish; however, once reminded, he does it particularly well.
* **Karate chopping**: In "Karate Star," Patrick is a skilled karate "genius" at chopping. However, his hand started to go out of control and he cut it off, regenerating his limbs like SpongeBob in "Graveyard Shift."
* **Performing extreme stunts**: Patrick is sometimes an ultimate daredevil, as seen in "I Had an Accident" and "A Life in a Day." In the latter, he performed several dangerous acts to emulate Larry's lifestyle, although he gave up when he learned of how life-threatening this can be. He also does a few moderately extreme stunts in "Extreme Spots."
* **Regeneration**: In "Karate Star," Patrick goes completely crazy and rips his arm off which a new Patrick grew from. Once he explained to SpongeBob starfish regenerate their arms, they were both fine with it.
* **Levitating**: Patrick can levitate infinitely. This was shown in "No Weenies Allowed" when he flails himself around to make it look like SpongeBob was beating him up, and in "Night Light" when runs on a beam of light up to the sun.
* **Seahorse riding**: In "Dunces and Dragons," Patrick does not know how to ride a seahorse; however, in "A Life in a Day," he can do it particularly well.
* **Singing**: Patrick has never had a solo and rarely sings; however, he does it fairly well when he does.
* **Staring**: Patrick is good at staring with SpongeBob in their staring contest game in various episodes.
* **Strength**: Patrick is shown to be very physically strong; in many episodes, he can lift his rock. In "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" and "Squid Baby," he is strong enough to lift the entire road. In many video games, such as *Battle for Bikini Bottom*, *The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie* video game, and *SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis*, his special ability is to pick up and throw heavy objects and even his friends. Also, in "Patrick-Man!," he throws really heavy objects with ease, and in "The Play's the Thing," he is shown to throw an anchor with ease. However, in "Krusty Krushers," he cannot even tear a piece of paper apart and then gets a paper cut. In "Sandy's Nutty Nieces," Patrick was able to beat all three of Sandy's nieces at once in an arm-wrestling match. It may be possible that Patrick doesn't know his own strength at times, which is probably due to his stupidity.
* **Survival skills**: In "To Save a Squirrel," he and SpongeBob nearly eat each other to survive. He also made earmuffs out of his own belly button lint so they could play without Sandy harassing them in "Survival of the Idiots." He also made warm clothing out of her fur.
* has a license for any and every occasion: in farmerbob it is revealed that patrick is very experienced in all and every different type of skill: fishing,tracker riding making alien circles etc

### Weakness

* **Low IQ:** One of Patrick's biggest weaknesses is his low IQ, as his stupidity tends to cloud his judgment and hinder him from doing anything right, even when attempting to commit evil acts.
* **Distraction:** Patrick tends to get distracted frequently, in some cases, by something that he enjoys like ice cream. A notable example would be when he supposedly uses his powers as Mr. Superawesomeness to summon ice cream to use as a weapon, but his love for ice cream causes him to eat the ice cream instead.
* **Laziness:** Patrick is very lazy and usually takes poor care of himself and his "house."
* **Stinginess**: In "Dumped," he refuses to give Gary back to SpongeBob until the end of the episode. In "The Secret Box," he even refuses to let SpongeBob see his secret from inside the box. In "Yours, Mine and Mine," he refuses to let SpongeBob share toys with him.
* **Camera**: In the episode "Tentacle-Vision," Patrick keeps focusing the camera on the wrong thing. In the episode "Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture," he forgets to take the lid off of the camera. He even gets Cheese Fizz on the camera in the episode "A SquarePants Family Vacation."

#### Bearded Patrick

Another alternate Patrick existed in the timeline where the Krabby Patty secret formula was never returned to Bikini Bottom after being stolen by Burger Beard. This caused Patrick to rapidly age and grow a long beard. He encountered SpongeBob and Plankton when their time machine sent them 4 days into the future, where he was sitting on the sand-covered ruins of the Krusty Krab. He said that unlike everyone else; he still hadn't given up on SpongeBob because he wasn't very smart. He waved goodbye to them after they were horrified by the outcome.
