Patrick Star (born August 17, 1984[citation needed]), is one of the ten main characters of the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, and the main character of his own spin-off, The Patrick Star Show. He is SpongeBob's best friend as well as one of his two neighbors.
He is a naïve and overweight pink sea star. He is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke and first appears in "Help Wanted."
He lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Squidward are his two neighbors, and, when viewed on the front side, are to the right of his residence.
He and SpongeBob both tend to bother Squidward, though they do it unknowingly and have good intentions. In the original series, Patrick is the son of Herb and Margie Star and the brother of Sam Star. In The Patrick Star Show, Patrick has a different family: parents Cecil and Bunny, grandfather GrandPat, and sister Squidina.
Stephen Hillenburg first designed a prototypic starfish character while teaching marine science at the Ocean Institute in California. He created the character for The Intertidal Zone, an educational picture book used to teach young students at the Institute, which would eventually lead to the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants. This prototype starfish character was much more realistic than Patrick; it had an eyespot on each arm and a large mouth in the center of its body. In 1987, Hillenburg left the institute to pursue a career in animation.
After Martin Olson suggested that Hillenburg develop The Intertidal Zone into a television show, Hillenburg began fleshing out the characters. Patrick Star was conceived as a starfish to embody the animal's nature; according to Hillenburg, starfish look "dumb and slow," but they are actually "very active and aggressive" in reality, like Patrick. Hillenburg incorporated character comedy rather than typical humor on the show to emphasize "things that are more about humorous situations and about characters and their flaws." He designed Patrick and SpongeBob as such because "they're whipping themselves up into situations—that's always where the humor comes from. The rule is: Follow the innocence and avoid topical [humor]." Hillenburg described Patrick as "probably the dumbest guy in town."
Despite being depicted as having a good temperament or state of mind, Patrick has been shown in some episodes to have a tantrum. Patrick's emotional outbreak was originally written only for the first-season episode "Valentine's Day," where SpongeBob and Sandy try to give Patrick a Valentine's Day gift, and "was supposed to be a one-time thing." However, according to episode writer Jay Lender, "when that show came back it felt so right that his dark side started popping up everywhere. You can plan ahead all you want, but the characters eventually tell you who they are."
Many characters in the show have their own unique footstep sound. The sound of Patrick's footsteps is recorded by the show's Foley crew, with a Foley talent wearing a slip-on shoe. Jeff Hutchins, the show's sound designer said, "[Going] barefoot makes it tough to have much presence, so we decided that Patrick would be performed with shoes on."
According to the SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014 book published by the Egmont Group, Patrick's birthday is on August 17.
Sam was lost at sea when she and Patrick were children. He did not see her again until the episode "Big Sister Sam." In the same episode, he mentions how Sam was his 'rock' when they were younger and how she looked out for him, implying they were somehow separated from their parents when Patrick was a baby. However, in "I'm with Stupid," he can immediately recognize his parents and it's implied they are not long-lost.
When he was a toddler, his parents would ring a bell in order for Patrick to take a bath, causing Patrick to have a severe tantrum every time he hears a bell.
Patrick met SpongeBob when the two were babies, as shown in "The Secret Box."
When he was a kid, Patrick tended to recite poems during gym class, which ruined his reputation and made him a target for dodgeball players, as shown in "Sing a Song of Patrick."
Later, he attended Kamp Koral, where he reunited with SpongeBob and met his future neighbor Squidward as his counselor.
Patrick is an overweight, coral-pink starfish (whose exact shade of pink is designated by Pantone to be Patrick Star Pink) with a pointy head, thick eyebrows, lavender eyelids, and red dots across in his body. In season 1, due to unsteady or cel-animation, his eyebrows were thin, and in the shape of 2 sideways "M" shapes in the form of a pink unibrow. The flowers on his pants were also dark purple instead of light.
At the beginning of season 2, Patrick's eyebrows were slightly thicker and shaped like the letter Z. However, in most of "Your Shoe's Untied" and "Big Pink Loser," his eyebrows are in the original sideways M shape as they were in season 1. Patrick's new Z shaped eyebrows first appeared in "Your Shoe's Untied" when "Loop de Loop" is playing in the part where Patrick gets a shoe as a scoop of ice cream.
He is shown to have either a full set of teeth, a single tooth, or sometimes none at all. In seasons 1 through 3, Patrick had been shown with plenty of teeth, but from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie onward, he has been shown with only one tooth. He was seen with one tooth for one or a few scenes in "Christmas Who?," "Survival of the Idiots," " The Secret Box," "I'm with Stupid," "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve," "Krusty Krab Training Video," "Chocolate with Nuts," and "New Student Starfish" though.
Patrick usually wears only a pair of lime-green shorts with purple flowers on them. The first movie and "Born to Be Wild" reveal that he wears Goofy Goober underwear, which he wore for three years straight. He changed out of them upon becoming a "man." When sleeping alone, he normally just wears plain underwear, but when he has company, he wears lavender pajamas with pale green flowers on them, along with a matching nightcap.
In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, he wears the same shorts as in the original show, but now wears a green shirt and a red handkerchief. In The Patrick Star Show, he wears a green shirt with white flowers on it, and purple shorts.
Like various characters, Patrick has no ears but can hear just fine. A reference to his lack of ears is made at the end of the episode "No Nose Knows," where he is shown to have gotten a giant set of ears through plastic surgery and says, "I heard that." at the very end. However, he is shown to have an ear that he did not know he had previously in "Bummer Vacation."
Patrick is lazy, dim-witted, unmannerly, naïve, and generally ignorant. Despite being portrayed as a full-grown adult, Patrick acts very immature and partakes in many childish activities with SpongeBob. Patrick's personality is similar to SpongeBob's, but they are not interchangeable, as SpongeBob is a lot more intelligent, responsible, optimistic, mannerly, and down-to-earth than Patrick. His dim-wittedness often annoys SpongeBob and Patrick and causes both him and Squidward a lot of problems. He and SpongeBob often annoy Squidward unknowingly due to SpongeBob's laugh and impulsiveness and Patrick's stupidity.
He has a short temper and occasionally exhibits psychopathic behavior if something upsets him. In "Nature Pants," Patrick goes on a psycho-spree throughout Jellyfish Fields and attempts to kidnap SpongeBob when he has decided to leave his pineapple home and live with the jellyfish. In "Valentine's Day," Patrick goes on a rampage and causes mass disruption at the carnival in response to having yet to receive a present from SpongeBob while seeing that he gave presents to everyone else. This includes ripping off the heart man's costume, attempting to destroy the Heart-a-Whirl, and stealing a little girl's lollipop and eating it violently in front of her. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick furiously scrapes the top of a broomstick against the Krusty Krab floorboards out of anger that he can't do anything right. In the same episode, he also shouted at a customer and slammed the phone for thinking the customer called him a "Krusty Krab," even though they were referring to the restaurant. In "The Fry Cook Games," he goes berserk when SpongeBob erases a part of his name tag to make it say "Rick." In "No Weenies Allowed," Patrick gets angry whenever he is called "Tubby," and punches SpongeBob for calling him that.
Due to his lack of superiority in contrast to the other characters, Patrick suffers from low self-esteem and can exhibit varying levels of jealousy when witnessing the success of others. In "No Hat for Pat" and "Patrick-Man!," Patrick shows jealousy to SpongeBob for having a job and special worker's hat. Patrick's jealousy is also a driving point on the plot in "No Nose Knows," where he expresses his insecurity over being in the minority of citizens without a nose, prompting him to get one through plastic surgery. In "The Executive Treatment," Patrick willingly impersonates an executive out of jealousy toward their exclusive ability to purchase a special Krabby Patty. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick wears SpongeBob's shirt and models his rock after SpongeBob's pineapple to emulate his lifestyle and prove he is worthy of an award.
He also joins in with the exploits of others, usually SpongeBob, to fit in. In "Mid-Life Crustacean," Patrick, SpongeBob, and Mr. Krabs attempt to steal Betsy Krabs' panties, as part of the "panty raid." In "Doing Time," Patrick assists SpongeBob in his local bank robbery scheme, intent on getting arrested to free Mrs. Puff from jail. In "Opposite Day," he and SpongeBob impersonate Squidward and claim his house as their property, intent on annoying the real estate agent and preventing Squidward from moving out of town. In "Chocolate with Nuts," as a means to boost their profit as salesmen, SpongeBob and Patrick spread lies to their customers about the chocolate bars they're selling, claiming them to have special abilities.
Patrick has an unusual mean streak that - depending on the episode, is either exhibited out of jealousy, low self-esteem, acquired situational narcissism, or simply stupidity. He is also shown to lose respect for others and become obsessed when obtaining some form of power, talent, wealth, or publicity, and it usually drives him apart from SpongeBob. In "Rule of Dumb," when he becomes the king of Bikini Bottom, he abuses his authority by stealing from others and using his fame to cover up his arrogant attitude, acting like the world revolves around him, and becomes a ruthless tyrant and goes mad with power. In "Karate Star," Patrick gains a talent in karate and obsessively uses it everywhere around Bikini Bottom regardless of the circumstances until SpongeBob talks him out of it at the end. In "Patrick-Man!," Patrick's superhero alter-ego goes to his head and causes him to frame innocent citizens for crimes. It is not until he realizes how tedious being a hero is that he stops. In "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?," Patrick becomes famous and rich as a result of his new occupation as the frozen Krabby Patty mascot, which causes him to betray SpongeBob on account of his acquired superiority.
Patrick's stupidity and aggressive behavior extends to damaging property owned by others. In "Christmas Who?," he and SpongeBob chop down Squidward's coral tree without his consent so they can make room for a Christmas tree. In "Wet Painters," Patrick destroys Mr. Krabs' computer by smashing it on the dollar to eliminate the paint stain, which obviously backfires. In "Squidtastic Voyage," he destroys the control panel of Sandy's submarine with an axe after thinking she's trapped in the speaker since her voice is heard through there. In "Pat No Pay," Patrick's misuse of the trash disposal causes the Krusty Krab to explode. In "The Card," Patrick endangers a trading card that belongs to SpongeBob by using it to clean his teeth, using it to unlock his rock when he can't find his key, using it to scrape the rust off his barbecue grill, and finally using it as a napkin to wipe off the cheese from the burgers he ate, which leads to the card's destruction. In "Karate Star," Patrick's love for karate goes to his head and results in him karate-chopping nearly everything he sees in public, eventually leading to the destruction of the Barg'N-Mart. In "Big Sister Sam," he allows his sister to demolish SpongeBob and Squidward's houses. In "Sandy's Nutmare," when Sandy learns that her tree is dying, Patrick, attempts to chop down her tree for the wood with a hatchet. When Sandy tells him she can save her tree with science, Patrick throws the hatchet, which makes a hole in the tree dome for water to come through.
Patrick, although mentally weak and naïve, has many skills, such as:
•CPR administration: In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors," Patrick shows the ability to utilize CPR as he uses it to save Squidward after he nearly chokes on a fork. He also displays his CPR administration skills in "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" when he and SpongeBob believe that they "killed" Squidward, albeit to no avail since in reality, Squidward wasn't dead, rather they accidentally destroyed a wax sculpture of him. He also performs CPR on Bubble Bass in "Swamp Mates" while he was unconscious.
•Dancing: Patrick once jazz-danced with SpongeBob in "Squidtastic Voyage" and wanted to go square-dancing with Squidward in "Just One Bite," but Squidward didn't want to do it, which made Patrick feel sad.
•Disguising: In "That's No Lady," Patrick stays in disguise as "Patricia" for a long time. He takes off the suit, embarrassing Squidward and Mr. Krabs.
•Doing absolutely nothing: In "Big Pink Loser," he gets an award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else." In "Club SpongeBob," he and SpongeBob sit and do nothing for days. In "The Pink Purloiner," he does nothing for 8 hours straight, while SpongeBob is spying on him. In "Stanley S. SquarePants," Patrick shows SpongeBob and Stanley the art of doing nothing.
•Driving: Patrick has shown to be an excellent driver, unlike SpongeBob as seen in "Driven to Tears." He also gives SpongeBob proper advice on how to ace his boating test in "Boating School." In "FarmerBob," he is revealed to have a driver's license and tractor's license.
•Low IQ: One of Patrick's biggest weaknesses is his low IQ, as his stupidity tends to cloud his judgment and hinder him from doing anything right, even when attempting to commit evil acts.
•Distraction: Patrick tends to get distracted frequently, in some cases, by something that he enjoys like ice cream. A notable example would be when he supposedly uses his powers as Mr. Superawesomeness to summon ice cream to use as a weapon, but his love for ice cream causes him to eat the ice cream instead.
•Laziness: Patrick is very lazy and usually takes poor care of himself and his "house."
•Stinginess: In "Dumped," he refuses to give Gary back to SpongeBob until the end of the episode. In "The Secret Box," he even refuses to let SpongeBob see his secret from inside the box. In "Yours, Mine and Mine," he refuses to let SpongeBob share toys with him.
Patrick lives under a rock on 120 Conch Street, two doors down from SpongeBob, right next to Squidward, and 400-yards away from the Krusty Krab. His ID licenses show his address, one from "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III" and another from "Driven to Tears." The home's exterior is featureless, apart from a small, yellow weather vane, which has fallen off on numerous occasions. In some episodes, the rock has nothing under it, while in others, his house has an interior, like in "Patrick's Staycation," "The Donut of Shame," "No Nose Knows," and other episodes. As shown in "I'm with Stupid," he makes his own furniture but he is too lazy to make it sometimes, explaining the different states of his house.
Sometimes, Patrick sleeps on the ceiling of his rock, although far more often he sleeps in a regular bed. Patrick spends much of his day sleeping under his rock. There are many inconsistencies in the depictions of his house due to the nature of the cartoon and utility treatment of backgrounds: In one episode, his house's depiction is nothing but a bed and a chest of drawers, yet in others, he appears to have a kitchen and a living room. In addition, certain episodes tend to depict the surface below the rock to be completely flat, while in others there is a considerable amount of depth below it. Patrick claims to have built the house himself. In "New Fish in Town," he puts his front yard up for rent. In some episodes, particularly the pre-movie seasons, he only has a TV and a chair in his house.
As Nickelodeon said of Patrick's house in a commercial bumper: "What's really beneath this famous rock? The home of Patrick Star. While the outside never changes, a closer look inside reveals that Patrick's house is never set in stone. Sometimes, there's just sand. Other times, there's a small den. Occasionally, there's a large master bedroom. And there's the Multi-Room Complex featuring an eat-in kitchen, arched doorways, and a hi-def TV. Rock on!"
On Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, Patrick lives in the Dinghy cabin, sleeping in a bunk bed with SpongeBob and sharing his cabin with Squidward and Sandy. On The Patrick Star Show, Patrick lives with his parents in a teapot-shaped house. His room is styled after a TV set and is where he performs his show.
Herb and Margie Star
Herb and Margie are Patrick's parents, who appear in the episode "I'm with Stupid." They go to visit Patrick for Starfish Day. They later make a cameo on a family tree in "Rule of Dumb." Their second in-person appearance is in, "Patrick's Tantrum," in which Patrick recalls that his parents would ring a bell when it was time for him to bathe. The sound of a bell begins sending him into uncontrollable fits of anger. Herb and Margie reappear at the end of the episode and reveal that Patrick remembered wrong, and they actually squeaked a rubber duck instead, the sound of which still sets Patrick off.
Cecil and Bunny Star
Cecil and Bunny are Patrick's parents who debut in The Patrick Star Show. Cecil is a blue starfish, while Bunny is pink. They later make appearances on Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years and SpongeBob SquarePants. Cecil and Patrick are traditionally seeing doing traditional father-son activities like camping. Cecil has a variety of jobs that he is unable to hold down, and is very similar to his son. Bunny has a loving, yet slightly overbearing personality. She is often seen performing household chores, cooking meals, and has a day job as a prison greeter.
Squidina Star
Squidina is Patrick's eight year-old sister. She is a major character on The Patrick Star Show, acting as the producer for Patrick's show.
