Patrick Star (seasons 6-9a)

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

Before and after Seasons 6-8, he is a simple minded yet charming character, but during Seasons 6-8, a more malicious side of his personality was shown.

Why He Sucked

 * 1) He was so dumb to the point of being braindead.
 * 2) On that note, his stupidity went from being hilarious to irritating.
 * 3) He was a malicious jerk who bullied Spongebob, despite being his best friend. He took advantage of Spongebob's good nature multiple times.
 * 4) He was often unnecessarily loud.
 * 5) In the episode The Card, Patrick claimed that his stupidity was just a facade, go figure.
 * 6) He was a crybaby, but not as much as Spongebob despite being more childish than him.
 * 7) He seemed to have complete disregard for his surroundings, as he once let his dimwitted and brutish big sister demolish Spongebob and Squidward's house.
 * 8) * Even worse, he blames Squidward for being angry about how his house just got demolished. (This proves that he can't understand nor handle criticism.)
 * 9) He was bossy.
 * 10) His cartoon gags were completely flat, unfunny and unentertaining.
 * 11) He was very ungrateful for everything he was given.
 * 12) He didn't only torture Spongebob, he also tortured Gary. He once tried to dry him with salt, which can kill snails.
 * 13) He's also proven to be careless (Stuck In The Wringer), selfish and bratty (Yours, Mine and Mine).
 * 14) His one tooth is always sticking out of his mouth during these seasons as if it's an integral part of his design which is very annoying, despite him rarely doing it in earlier seasons.
 * 15) Sometimes, he ends up destroying parts of the city!

Episodes Where He's At His Worst
Season 6: Season 7:
 * The Splinter (He made SpongeBob's splinter worse by nailing the splinter and putting garbage at his thumb)
 * The Card (He deliberately destroyed Spongebob's Mermaid Man's card, which causes his feelings to get hurt)
 * Tentancle Vision (He tries to ruin Squidward's show for his own audition set)
 * Stuck in the Wringer (He glued Spongebob to the wringer and when Spongebob speaks out against Patrick's stupidity, the fish turn against him and call him heartless)
 * Yours' Mine and Mine (He acted like a spoiled brat while refusing to share the Krusty Krab toy and in the end, he stole Spongebob's money by saying an infamous line: "Have you learnt nothing about sharing?")
 * Karate Star (He destroyed the whole town with his Karate chop for absolutely no reason. To make things worse: He tried to chop a baby!)
 * Big Sister Sam (He encouraged Sam's destructive behaviour and turned on Spongebob and Squidward for speaking out against Sam when she destroyed their houses)

Season 8:
 * Oral Report (Patrick made Spongebob's stage fright worse by throwing pillows at him, forcing him to give his report on a treadmill and disguising as Mrs. Puff and neglecting him)
 * Patrick's Staycation (He thought that he was really living in a resort and became ungrateful to Spongebob which led him to sleeping at Mr Krabs's house)
 * Pet Sitter Pat (Mostly) (He tortured Gary by eating his food, looking for salt to "dry" him where as salt kills snails and torturing him with a flamethrower)
 * Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom (He ate Squidward's ticket to Kelpy G's concert and then he unexpectedly came at the concert and ate Squidward and Spongebob's backstage passes out of his stupidity. He also interrupted Kelpy G's concert just for the sake of nachos and somehow he got free food)
 * Restraining SpongeBob (He annoyed Squidward for no reason at the Krusty Krab acting like a crazy, childish maniac)

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was one of the characters who were arguably animated the best.
 * 2) He loved spending time with Spongebob, despite how he treated him.
 * 3) He could still be funny at times.
 * 4) He was much better in Seasons 1-5 and has significantly redeemed himself since Season 9.
