Patrick Star is the deuteragonist of the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise.
An immature, yet ultimately well-meaning sea star and the village idiot of Bikini Bottom, he is SpongeBob’s best friend and neighbor. Though usually a force for good, he has had instances of being outright malicious, usually as a result of his stupidity. Not only that, but numerous episodes have shown him not to be a good friend to SpongeBob. It's also revealed since "The Card" and episodes prior to this, that Patrick is a sociopath who fakes his idiocy just to cause trouble.
He is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- In "Tea at the Treedome", he nearly got SpongeBob killed from dehydration.
- In "Jellyfishing", despite Squidward's injuries, he and SpongeBob drag him along on a jellyfishing expedition. Patrick then tries to force Squidward to hold a jellyfishing net, but when Squidward is unable to “firmly grasp it”, Patrick callously impales the net into the poor cephalopod’s bandaged palm. Patrick was well aware that Squidward's tentacles were fully bandaged, rendering him incapable of holding objects independently. Nevertheless, Patrick persisted in forcing Squidward to perform tasks that were clearly beyond his physical abilities.
- In "Sandy's Rocket", he and SpongeBob kidnapped everyone in Bikini Bottom because they mistakenly believed that they were aliens.
- In "Nature Pants", he tried to catch SpongeBob after he chooses to live in Jellyfish Fields, attempting to keep him in a jar.
- In "Valentine’s Day", he went on a rampage throughout a carnival when he thought SpongeBob didn’t give him a Valentine’s Day gift, destroying a heart-shaped popsicle and even attacking SpongeBob and some of the carnival goers.
- In "Survival of The Idiots", he and SpongeBob broke into Sandy's house while she's hibernating and when it got cold, they shaved off her fur to keep themselves warm.
- In "Pressure", he mocked Sandy for not being a fish, and when she took off her helmet and started drowning, Patrick laughed at her and didn't care that she was dying.
- In "I'm With Stupid", upset about his parents thinking he was unintelligent, SpongeBob offers to act dumb to make Patrick seem smart to them. It wasn't until a game of charades where Patrick begins to start making fun of SpongeBob as if he really were dumb forgetting their plan and even wearing an "I'm With Stupid" shirt with an arrow pointing towards SpongeBob. When SpongeBob tries to give Patrick's "parents" a normal greeting, they all begin to poke fun at SpongeBob causing him to yell in aggravation and run out of Patrick's home. It's hypocritical that Patrick doesn't like feeling dumb by his parents but treated SpongeBob the same way his parents treated him.
- In "The Fry Cook Games", he landed on the handle of a fryer which caused it to be flipped and throw boiling oil onto some of the fish in the audience, resulting in them being killed and turned into fish sticks.
- In "Chocolate with Nuts", he and SpongeBob lie to a bunch of people so that they can get them to buy their chocolate.
- In "No Weenies Allowed", he punched SpongeBob in the face after he pretended to insult him.
- In "Driven to Tears", after getting his license instead of SpongeBob, being insensitive to SpongeBob's unhappiness about it, he drove recklessly through the city by running 3 stoplights and took an illegal U-turn through an orphanage.
- In "Rule of Dumb", he abused his power as king by refusing to pay for food, stealing others' possessions whenever he wants (including from children), forcing the citizens to give him their stuff, and trying to build a Ferris Wheel in Squidward's yard by moving his house out of the way with him still inside.
- In "House Fancy", he murdered Squidward's sentient toilet with no remorse, and he also steals SpongeBob's brain for unknown reasons.
- In "The Card", Patrick outright revealed that he is aware of his stupidity and at times takes advantage of it to avoid being responsible, yet his inferior IQ means he fails to see protential harm he causes to others AND his own.
- In "CreamBob ConePants", he and SpongeBob devoured the residents of Pint Bottom, leaving the entire city completely void of anyone and anything.
- In "Shuffleboarding", he and SpongeBob filled in for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and arrested everyone for doing things that aren't even crimes. Eventually, the jail got so full it exploded, causing all the people to fall from the sky. However, the blame fell on Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in the end because the townspeople thought SpongeBob and Patrick were Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy since they were wearing their costumes.
- In "Stuck in the Wringer", one of his most infamous roles, he uses the Forever Glue to permanently trap in SpongeBob while he is stuck in his wringer, thus getting the poor sponge tortured a lot, like getting him kicked out of the Krusty Krab, almost choking him to death while eating ice cream due to the wringer blocking his esophagus, and him getting flung off a carnival ride and even getting a black eye in the carnival.
- Worse, even though Patrick is the real villain here, he still proceeds to play the victim card and unfairly call SpongeBob the bad guy in front of a bunch of people when he rightfully calls him out for making things worse, thus making SpongeBob look like an ungrateful jerk despite it completely being Patrick's fault.
- In "That Sinking Feeling", he and SpongeBob sank every house in Bikini Bottom, and while this was unintentional, they felt no remorse for it.
- In "Karate Star", he took his newfound karate prowess too far, destroying part of the Krusty Krab and nearly chopping a baby even after SpongeBob warned him to use it responsibly.
- In "Pet Sitter Pat", he negligently abused Gary while pet-sitting for SpongeBob by forgetting to feed the snail and eating all of his pet food even though he was starving, firing a flamethrower at him to give him a bath, spraying him with a hose and then blowing a hot hairdryer at him to dry him off.
- He was even originally planning to dry Gary with salt (which is severely dangerous to snails) but he couldn't find any.
- In " InSPONGEiac", when SpongeBob comes to him to help him sleep, Patrick reads him a "get-out-of-bed" story, sings him a song about getting up and gives him coffee, which not only leads to SpongeBob having insomnia even further to the point of hallucinating for the rest of the night, but it also demonstrates Patrick's poor listening skills when SpongeBob repeatedly tells him he's trying to go to sleep.
- In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, he rats out SpongeBob to the angry mob because he wants Krabby Patties during the post-apocalypse that start in Bikini Bottom.
- Also, when SpongeBob starts to feel defeated and guilty about failing Bikini Bottom, Patrick rubs salt in the wound by saying it's on him, which shows that Patrick doesn't think before he talks.
- In "Ink Lemonade", he tortured Squidward so he can extract the ink he makes when scared for his lemonade, going as far as to scare him with a giant spider and even a horror contraption showing a desolate future where Squidward is still a cashier after 50 years.
- In "The Goofy Newbie", he eats so much ice cream that he gets a brain freeze that ends up freezing the Earth for five billion years.
- In "Squidina's Little Helper", he attacked an innocent ice cream cone guy when he attempted to make an audition for his show.
- He would also attack this same ice cream cone guy in the episode "Host-a-Palooza", where he chomped the head off of them on live television.
- In "The Haunting of Star House", he strangled a sentient phone to death and proceeded to use it's spirit as a hotline to call other ghosts, showing zero remorse for this.
- In "House Hunting", he committed a genocide on the Hamdonians by devouring their land.
- When the surviving Hamdonians confront Patrick for what he did to them at the end of the episode, Patrick shows zero remorse for his actions and even attempts to have the Hamdonians jump into his mouth in order to eat them again.
- In "Fun & Done", he and SpongeBob murdered several creatures, despite the fact that they did nothing wrong and simply just danced.
- In "The Starry Awards", he murdered an innocent sentient granola bar on live television with zero consequences.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Much like SpongeBob SquarePants, the way that Patrick is portrayed ultimately depends on the circumstances presented in the episode he's in. Throughout the show, he is mostly seen as a force for good, saving Bikini Bottom from multiple threats and being a friend to several heroes.
- He is capable of remorse, as he does particularly regret almost killing SpongeBob with his karate chopping and attacking SpongeBob after mistaking him for a burglar, even being willing to break away the hand and callous evil nerves themselves just so he can securely forgive himself.
- He is far too comedic and incompetent to be NPE, often getting into comical slapstick and even his worst crimes being played for black comedy and not seen as genuinely malicious due to his low intelligence.
- He is a scapegoat as he is often punished for his actions, likewise in harsh or even disproportionately cruel ways, even for minor misdoings.
- Even if he doesn't act like a good friend at times, he genuinely cares for SpongeBob and their other friends.
- He has legitimate moral agency issues due to his lack of actual intelligence, though there are instances where he is aware of his wrongdoings so this is a minor prevention.
