Patrick Star (seasons 6-9a)

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

Before and after Seasons 6-8, he is a simple-minded yet charming character, but during Seasons 6-8, there was a more malicious side of his personality with none of the likability whatsoever and was a part of controversial themes to SpongeBob fans and viewers, sometimes more than the bad seasons of SpongeBob themselves.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His stupidity has gone from being hilarious to irritating. Much to the point that he's become such a really unlikable jerk.
 * 2) He's usually a malicious and mean-spirited jerk who bullies SpongeBob on occasions, despite being his "best friend". He tends to take advantage of SpongeBob's good-hearted nature in several instances.
 * 3) He is often unnecessarily loud.
 * 4) In The Card episode, he claims that his stupidity is just a façade, just to make him look more unlikable & insufferable in the episode and was said as an completely false statement.
 * 5) He is quite an total 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 good reason.
 * 7) * Even worse, he blames both Squidward & SpongeBob for being angry about how Squidward's house just got demolished (which proves that he cannot understand, perceive nor handle the idea of criticism nor does his ever 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 and jokes had become incredibly flat, stale and completely unfunny.
 * 10) He's always ungrateful for everything he was given.
 * 11) Several episodes show how unlikable he is such as:
 * 12) * 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's moronic characteristic was dumbed down even more]),
 * 13) * (The Card [by destroying it despite SpongeBob's constant warnings, showing how obtuse he was]),
 * 14) * (Pet Sitter Pat [by eating Gary's food and painfully bathing and drying him, showing his more heartless side])
 * 15) * (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 genuine accident or even a mistake]).
 * 16) He was also shown to be very selfish & narcissistic in episodes
 * 17) * He 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, hypocritical & unfair in the process]).
 * 18) His one tooth that is always sticking out of his mouth during these seasons as if it's an integral part of his design is very annoying, despite him rarely expressing this in earlier seasons.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is one of the characters who is arguably animated the best and he is still amazingly voiced by Bill Fagerbakke.
 * 2) He still loves spending time with SpongeBob, despite how he treats him obnoxiously.
 * 3) He is kind of funny in some rather, downplayed instances.
 * He, along with SpongeBob, has massively redeemed himself since the ninth season.
 * 1) He does get a bit of comeuppance in episodes like "No Hat for Pat", but that doesn't remove him from the Karma-Houdini party or the Idiot-Houdini party.
 * 2) SpongeBob SquarePants wouldn't be as great without him.
 * 3) He can still be a good friend to Spongebob at times.
 * 4) He can still have his original personality at times.
