What is patrick from spongebob

With all of its double entendres, absurdist gags, and surreal visuals, the show is just as fun for adults as it is for kids. SpongeBob is the fry cook, Squidward is the cashier, and of course, Mr. Krabs is the boss.

He has nothing to do with his time, SpongeBob would love having him around — why not slap an apron on him? According to Clancy Brown, who plays Mr.

According to an interview in the Washington Post with SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg , the whole series is built around the childlike innocence of SpongeBob and Patrick. SpongeBob never fully realizes how stupid Patrick is. The rule is: Follow the innocence and avoid topical [humor].

Remember the heartbreaking episode with the countdown leading up to Lily telling Marshall his dad died? I was just kind of perfunctorily trying to give the guy what he wanted. 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. In " Ink Lemonade ," he and SpongeBob sell Squidward's ink to the public and categorize it as lemonade.

The opposite effect has also occurred with Patrick encouraging SpongeBob to join in with his exploits. In " Hooky ," Patrick encourages SpongeBob to ditch work and go to the "carnival" with him.

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. This is best shown in " Valentine's Day ," when after he sees that SpongeBob gave a present to everyone except him, he goes on a rampage, and destroys everything he sees, even though SpongeBob wanted to give him a present.

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 regardless of the circumstances until SpongeBob talks him out of it at the end.

In " Patrick-Man! It is not until he realizes how tedious being a hero is that he stops. In " Goodbye, Krabby Patty? This behavior has manifested itself physically. Patrick is shown to be a very harmful pet sitter to Gary in " Pet Sitter Pat.

In " Jellyfishing ," oblivious to the fact that he can't hold his net due to his bandages, Patrick forcefully shoves the end of a jellyfish net in Squidward's injured tentacle, adding insult to injury. In " Band Geeks ," he starts a fight with Sandy to "do some kicking," as instructed by Squidward, though Patrick interprets this literally.

In " Wigstruck ," Patrick notices SpongeBob wearing a wig; believing that it is a monster attacking him, Patrick assaults SpongeBob to rid him of the said wig.

In " Oral Report ," Patrick increases SpongeBob's oral anxiety by assaulting him with several objects like a treadmill and pillows. In " Nature Pants ," Patrick follows SpongeBob around Jellyfish Fields and attempts to abduct him with his jellyfish net to bring him back home.

In " It's a SpongeBob Christmas! This attempt backfires on Patrick when he gets stuck in the traps. He succeeds in kidnapping Santa in the end, though. In " Valentine's Day ," Patrick causes pure disorderly conduct at the carnival by running around, yelling, and breaking everything in sight. Patrick slamming a computer on Mr. Krabs first dollar trying to get the paint off. This extends to damaging property owned by others.

In " Christmas Who? In " Wet Painters ," Patrick destroys Mr. Krabs' computer by smashing it on the dollar to eliminate the paint stain. In " Squidtastic Voyage ," he destroys the control panel of Sandy's submarine with an axe. In " Spy Buddies ," he melts the roof of the Chum Bucket with his laser pants.

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 " 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.

Aside from his jealousy and being irresponsible, Patrick is also selfish and sometimes a bad friend towards SpongeBob and often endangers him, sometimes intentionally and other times because of his dim-whiteness. Patrick asks why there is no toy, but Mr. SpongeBob lets Patrick play with it until the morning, and when the morning arrives SpongeBob tells Patrick to give him a turn, but Patrick hogged the toy and refused to share it with SpongeBob.

In " Dumped " Patrick insists that Gary likes him now and that he wants to be his pet instead of SpongeBob's.

In " I'm with Stupid " Patrick's parents were 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 gets SpongeBob stuck in the wringer with his "forever glue" which caused SpongeBob a lot of problems.

He also impersonated a doctor twice. 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. 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 but hitting a hammer through it. In " Something Smells " Patrick convinces SpongeBob that the reason everyone has been avoiding him was that he's ugly. 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. In " Driven to Tears " Patrick tries to make SpongeBob jealous of his new driver's license and rubs it in his face.

He also caused mass destruction by running three red lights and makes an illegal u-turn through an orphanage. His rudeness became more serious as the post-movie era approached: Patrick had a mean streak in the pre-movie seasons but was most apologetic and regretful of his actions, and had a kindhearted personality overall.

In the post-movie seasons, not only does Patrick rarely show any remorse or regret toward his rudeness, but he also lacks responsibility for his actions and is willing to throw others under the bus for his wrongdoings, like in " Stuck in the Wringer " where he blames SpongeBob for the condition he's in when it was Patrick's fault for gluing him to the wringer.

In " Life of Crime ," he gets mad at SpongeBob and blames him for eating his chocolate bar when he already ate his. He also scolds people when they have a right to be hostile and angry, as seen in " Big Sister Sam " when Patrick singles SpongeBob and Squidward out for their disapproval of his sister 's havoc wreak.

However, in " The Fish Bowl ," Patrick does show remorse over his selfish and rude ways, marking a rare occasion in the post-movie era where this has happened. Patrick is shown to have a hypocritical side, as he never follows any of the advice he gives SpongeBob: In " Grandma's Kisses ," he tells SpongeBob to act like a grown-up but later behaves like a baby himself. 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;" however, in reality, it was their bad breath that caused the townsfolk to ignore them. In " Yours, Mine and Mine ," Patrick agrees to share the kid's meal with SpongeBob, but later eats it all and persistently hogs the Patty Pal 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 and joins in on lambasting Squidward for doing so when SpongeBob runs away crying, throwing fruit at Squidward and calling him a "diary reader. In " Sun Bleached ," Patrick helped SpongeBob get a tan but neglects SpongeBob by going out with a group of women, essentially leaving SpongeBob in the tanning booth for a protracted amount of time and resulting in the development of a "sun-bleached" tan.

In " Suds " and " The Splinter ," Patrick acts as a doctor to SpongeBob despite not having a college bachelor's degree or doctor's insurance license, leading to disastrous treatment. He enjoys nothing more than spending time with SpongeBob, and will always turn to him when things don't seem right or when he wants to show off something that he thinks he succeeds in, even though he rarely does if ever. 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 hatred of him and SpongeBob.

Even with good intentions, Patrick often does not take account of the environment or individuals around him. In " Life of Crime ," he and SpongeBob resort to making crazed noises in the middle of the street upon discovering their new identities as "criminals," with the townspeople mistaking them as street performers.

SpongeBob and Patrick are put in jail for "stealing" a balloon, only to be paroled a few seconds later since it is National Free Balloon Day , thus disqualifying the act as a crime.

Patrick also engages in a fight with Sandy during music class in " Band Geeks. This causes the citizens displeasure and leads them to form a mob. Krabs, and the customers. In " Stuck in the Wringer ," SpongeBob and Patrick engage in a verbal fight in the middle of the carnival.

Puff from jail without consent from correctional officers. In " Sandy's Rocket ," SpongeBob and Patrick invade Sandy's spaceship without her permission and use it out of personal gain. In " Pranks a Lot ," SpongeBob and Patrick, while disguised as ghosts, make unauthorized and disruptive alterations to the Krusty Krab by gluing the doors shut, replacing the windows with rubber, and clogging the toilets.

In " Pet Sitter Pat ," Patrick messes up the interior of SpongeBob's house as a result of threatening Gary with a hose and flamethrower. Krabs' advertising campaign. A police officer notices this and considers arresting them for graffiti, but, influenced by the vandalism's message, heads off to the Krusty Krab to order a Krabby Patty. In " Sing a Song of Patrick ," Patrick steals a hundred dollar bill from SpongeBob and uses it to enter a contest, fully acknowledging that he used a dollar without the owner's consent.

In " Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom ," Patrick steals concert tickets and backstage passes that were meant for Squidward and SpongeBob, and eats them, believing they are food. In " No Pictures, Please ," Patrick puts on a hat that was dropped by a guide and wears it throughout, not thinking twice about returning it to its owner. Furthermore, because Patrick feels he is doing the right thing, he often trespasses to get what he wants.

SpongeBob and Patrick have a frequent tendency to enter Squidward's house without his consent, which reaches its epitome in " Good Neighbors. In " Pranks a Lot ," SpongeBob and Patrick trespass into many people's houses to traumatize them while under the identities of "ghosts. In " The Lost Mattress ," Patrick and SpongeBob trespass the fence of the dump on Squidward's behalf, however, it is mostly Squidward's fault for making them do it in an attempt to get them murdered by the guard worm.

In " Toy Store of Doom ," SpongeBob and Patrick stay in Toy Barrel past its open hours and hide in a dollhouse so as not to be caught by the security guard. In " No Pictures Please ," Patrick trespasses many people's homes while giving an enthusiastic stranger a tour of his favorite places in Bikini Bottom. In " Spy Buddies ," Patrick and SpongeBob sneak into the Chum Bucket at night through the roof, despite the door allowing entrance; they did this since spies do not use the door to enter places.

In " Safe Deposit Krabs ," SpongeBob and Patrick break into the local bank at night, although they had good intentions since they did it to free Mr.

Krabs from the safe. Much of this has involved Patrick being caught up in breaking rules and endangering others. In " Restraining SpongeBob ," Patrick violates a restraining order filed against him by walking beyond his set limits. He is arrested off-screen for doing so. In " Big Pink Loser ," Patrick's inability to do anything right angers him to the point of scraping the top of a broomstick on the Krusty Krab floorboards, which creates a mass amount of dust clouds and interferes with the customer's ability to eat and breathe pure oxygen.

In " Sentimental Sponge ," Patrick's house is shown to be full of garbage, which takes up a majority of the house's capacity, though he is not reprimanded by the sanitation police, unlike SpongeBob and Squidward.

In " The Donut of Shame ," Patrick offers SpongeBob one half of a doughnut that he contaminated with his saliva, dropped in the toilet, and stored in the back of his underwear.

Due to this, SpongeBob potentially consumed Patrick's oral ecology as well as C. In " Ink Lemonade ," Patrick and SpongeBob sell Squidward's ink to the public under the guise of lemonade, which eventually causes health problems to its consumers. In " Sandy's Rocket ," SpongeBob and Patrick go around abducting the townspeople and trapping them in Sandy's spaceship out of fear that the entire population is formed of aliens.

Patrick is shown to have human-like intelligence. 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 when trying to earn an award in " Big Pink Loser.

In some episodes, Patrick has trouble with even the most rudimentary tasks and displays little common sense or intelligence. His memory can be appalling and he 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. Patrick seems to be aware of his stupidity and annoyance to others, as many throwaway lines in some episodes indicate: In " Home Sweet Pineapple ," Patrick asks SpongeBob if it's already time to ruin Squidward's day upon waking up.

I like to mix it up, keep you on your toes. This is best exemplified in " You Don't Know Sponge ," and is also a driving point on the said episode's storyline. 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 often being very articulate, such as when he, having messed up Mr. Krabs' first dollar with SpongeBob, complained about the fact that his first dollar is just an ordinary dollar and he should replace it with another ordinary dollar, though he forgets about it at the end and ends up buying a candy bar, much to SpongeBob's dismay.

In " SB ," 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.

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.

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. One of his smartest moments in the series was in " CopyBob DittoPants " when he said the line "Life is but a walking shadow" after all the copies disappeared. 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! 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 his best friend. 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, [28] [29] 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 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, [30] and he enjoyed some of SpongeBob's peanut onion sundae in " Something Smells. He idolizes the titular duo and views them as role models in that Patrick and SpongeBob occasionally dress up as them and emulate their heroic antics. He is generally well intentioned but often inadvertently causes trouble both for himself and also his friends.

Patrick is a career journeyman who is mostly unemployed throughout the course of the series. At some times he holds various short-term jobs much like the character Kramer on the show, Seinfeld as the storyline of each episode requires.

Patrick has worked for the Krusty Krab a total of eight times: In the episodes "Arghh! Patrick has also worked at the Chum Bucket three times. The true heir to the throne turned out to be Gary The Snail, who is revealed to be Patrick's cousin. In Season 1, due to unsteady animation, his eyebrows were thin and in the shape of a couple of M's. Beginning in Season 2, his eyebrows are now slightly thicker and shaped like Z's.

In one episode, " Big Pink Loser ", Patrick noticeably has 3's for eyebrows. In several episodes Patrick is shown to variously have a full set of teeth; a single tooth; and sometimes, apparently, none at all. In the episode " Sing a Song of Patrick ", Patrick takes advantage of a mail-in offer to have a song written by him recorded by a professional band. The song was so horrible that the band died the lead singer having stated "We're gonna do this even if it kills us", which it did.

Unlike most of the other main characters, Patrick lacks a nose. Because of this, he generally can not smell such as in " Something Smells " in which SpongeBob has halitosis. He also chews food with his mouth open such as in " Grandma's Kisses ". However, in the episode, " No Nose Knows ", Patrick receives a nose through plastic surgery. Krabs, and Sandy deform Patrick's nose by building a giant ball of trash and sewage.

Patrick has no steady occupation and spends most of his time sleeping, watching television, or playing with his best friend SpongeBob SquarePants. He often gives advice to SpongeBob that's usually impractical or dangerous, and often gets them both into trouble. When he tries to find work he is shown to have little skill or common sense; for example in " Big Pink Loser ", he struggles with simple tasks such as sweeping or opening a jar. His skill is portrayed as doing nothing as shown in "Stanley S.

SquarePants" and "Big Pink Loser", in the latter he wins a trophy for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else". Patrick loves the restaurant, Pizza Castle , and he goes there a lot, sometimes more often than the Krusty Krab. In the episode " Patrick SmartPants ", Patrick becomes extremely smart after a freak accident involving brain coral.

Despite his innocence, he has also been a criminal several times in the series. Patrick has been referred to as "The Pink Menace", and appears as that character in several SpongeBob video games. Patrick is generally well intended but often ends up in trouble simply out of ignorance. They walk around swearing all day before learning the writing is actually " bad words.

Krabs that borrowing is okay as long as you bring it back. At the park, SpongeBob and Patrick want to buy a balloon but they do not have any money. They decide to "borrow" a balloon with the intention of returning it later, only to have it pop.

Not knowing it was Free Balloon Day, they go on the run as fugitives. In Party in the Rock Patrick's mother let him have a party at the rock. Patrick was shown to be smarter, worrying, checking all the rooms etc. Characteristic Patrick because duplicate he Uncle Ferguson Star, the most very very stupid starfish. He seems to be smarter when he was younger Patrick has also made an appearance in Leader Plankton!
