Patrick Star (seasons 6-9a)

Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series ''. He is voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke and was created and designed by marine biologist and cartoonist Stephen Hillenburg. He is the best friend and neighbor of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Before and after Seasons 6-8, he is still a simple-minded yet charming character, but during Seasons 6-8, a more malicious side of his personality tends to be shown in this empty-headed starfish.

Why He Sucked In Seasons 6-8

 * 1) His stupidity has gone from being hilarious to irritating.
 * 2) He can be quite a malicious jerk who bullies SpongeBob on occasions, despite being his best friend. He tends to take advantage of SpongeBob's good-hearted nature on several occasions.
 * 3) He is often unnecessarily loud.
 * 4) In "The Card" episode, he claims that his stupidity is just a façade, just to make this imbecile more unlikable in the episode and a completely false statement.
 * 5) He is a crybaby, but not as much as SpongeBob, despite being a lot more childish than him.
 * 6) He is callous as he seems to have complete disregard for his surroundings. For example, in "Big Sister Sam" he allows his more dimwitted and brutish older sister Sam to demolish SpongeBob and Squidward's houses for no reason.
 * 7) * Even worse, he blames both Squidward & SpongeBob for being angry about how Squidward's house just got demolished (which proves that he can't understand nor handle criticism nor realize his mistakes) and also states that they are bad friends when SpongeBob tries to reason with him (despite SpongeBob originally being his longtime, best friend).
 * 8) He is very bossy & demanding.
 * 9) His gags had become completely flat and unfunny.
 * 10) He is quite ungrateful for everything he was given.
 * 11) He's also proven to be very careless (Stuck In The Wringer [by putting "Forever Glue" only to make SpongeBob stuck forever, showing another example of how Patrick was dumbed down even more]), (The Card [by destroying it despite SpongeBob's constant warnings, showing how obtuse he was]), (Pet Sitter Pat [by eating Gary's food and painfully bathing and drying him, showing his more heartless side]) and (The Splinter [by hammering SpongeBob's splinter, only to get it worse and put trash on that to cure his worsened splinter, Patrick does this like it was done on purpose rather than a accident]). He was also shown to be very selfish & narcissistic in episodes like (Driven to Tears and Rule of Dumb [by making Spongebob ruin his chance of getting his license and stealing stuff that aren't his because he's "king", but Squidward has managed to call him out, showing how obtuse Bikini Bottom has gotten in these seasons]), and was bratty in episodes like (Yours, Mine and Mine [Patrick selfishly keeping the Patty Pal for himself, even if SpongeBob wanted it back, and not to mention; he stole his wallet to spend two of them for each other while it was against his will, and he hypocritically says that "Have you learned nothing about sharing?" when yet, he doesn't share, making Patrick look very manipulative & unfair in the process]).
 * 12) His one tooth that is always sticking out of his mouth during these seasons as if it's an integral part of his design, it's very annoying, despite him rarely doing it in earlier seasons.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is one of the characters who is arguably animated the best.
 * 2) He still loves spending time with SpongeBob, despite how he treats him obnoxiously.
 * 3) He is still funny in some instances.
 * 4) His character design is still, admittedly cute.
 * 5) He has massively redeemed himself since the ninth season.
 * 6) He does get a bit of comeuppance in episodes like "No Hat for Pat" and "Rule of Dumb" (where Squidward has finally called him out for his tyrant and idiotic behavior), but that doesn't remove him from the Karma-Houdini party or the Idiot-Houdini party.
