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 was shown.

Why He Sucked

 * 1) His stupidity went from being hilarious to irritating.
 * 2) He was a malicious jerk who bullied Spongebob, despite being his best friend. He took advantage of Spongebob's good nature multiple times.
 * 3) He was often unnecessarily loud.
 * 4) In the episode The Card, Patrick claimed that his stupidity was just a facade, go figure.
 * 5) He was a crybaby, but not as much as Spongebob despite being more childish than him.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) * 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.)
 * 8) He was bossy.
 * 9) His cartoon gags were completely flat, unfunny and unentertaining.
 * 10) He was very ungrateful for everything he was given.
 * 11) He didn't only torture Spongebob, he also tortured Gary. He once tried to dry him with salt, which can kill snails.
 * 12) He's also proven to be careless (Stuck In The Wringer), selfish, egotistical and bratty (Yours, Mine and Mine).
 * 13) 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 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 1-4 and has significantly redeemed himself since Season 8.
