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 5-7, he is a simple-minded, yet charming character, but during Seasons 5-7, a more malicious side of his personality is shown.

Why He Sucked (Seasons 5-7 only)

 * 1) His stupidity has gone from being hilarious to irritating.
 * 2) He can be 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", he claims that his stupidity is just a façade.
 * 5) He is a crybaby, but not as much as SpongeBob, despite being 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 dimwitted and brutish older sister Sam to demolish SpongeBob and Squidward's houses.
 * 7) * Even worse, he blames Squidward for being angry about how his house just got demolished (which proves that he can't understand nor handle criticism).
 * 8) He is very bossy.
 * 9) His gags have become completely flat and unfunny.
 * 10) He is very ungrateful for everything he is given.
 * 11) He's also proven to be careless (Stuck In The Wringer [by putting "Forever Glue" only to make SpongeBob stuck forever]), (The Card [by destroying it despite SpongeBob's warnings]) and (The Splinter [by hammering SpongeBob's splinter, only to get it worse and put trash on that to cure his worsened splinter]), selfish, narcissistic (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]), and bratty (Yours, Mine and Mine [by selfishly keeping the Patty Pal for himself, even if SpongeBob wanted it back, and not to mention; he stole his wallet to spend two fo 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]).
 * 12) 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.

Redeeming 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.
 * 3) He is still funny in some instances.
 * 4) His character design is, admittedly, cute.
 * 5) He has massively redeemed himself since the ninth season.
 * 6) He does get a bit of comeuppance in "No Hat for Pat" and "Rule of Dumb" (where Squidward has finally called him out for his idiotic behavior), but that doesn't remove him from the Karma Houdini party.
