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 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 Sucks (Seasons 5-7 only)

 * 1) His stupidity has gone from being hilarious to irritating.
 * 2) He is a malicious jerk who bullies Spongebob, despite being his best friend. He tends to take advantage of Spongebob's good nature on multiple occasions.
 * 3) He is often unnecessarily loud.
 * 4) In "The Card", Patrick claims that his stupidity is just a façade. Go figure!
 * 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 lets his dimwitted and brutish big sister Sam 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 cartoon gags have become completely flat, unfunny and unentertaining.
 * 10) He is very ungrateful for everything he is given.
 * 11) He's also proven to be careless (Stuck In The Wringer), selfish, egotistical and bratty (Yours, Mine and Mine).
 * 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 loves spending time with Spongebob, despite how he treats him.
 * 3) He can still be funny at times.
 * 4) His character design is admittedly cute.
 * 5) He has massively redeemed himself since Season 8.
