"Patrick! The Game" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from Season 9. In this episode, Patrick invents a new board game and invites SpongeBob, Sandy, and Squidward to play it with him.

Characters

Synopsis

SpongeBob and Patrick are playing a board game in an obnoxious manner, which annoys Squidward. While the two are talking about whether the game is ripe or not as they think they grow from trees, Squidward tells them people make games and that Patrick would be incapable of making one.

He starts to think of several game ideas, but Squidward does not enjoy them very well. When he goes to Sandy for help, she tells him he should take several board games he knows and smash them into one big board game. Patrick does exactly that, and creates a board game called Patrick! The Game.

Patrick gets SpongeBob, Sandy, and Squidward to play the game with him. He explains how the game works, but after a while, Squidward gets annoyed and tells him he should explain how it works as they play. They start playing, but as the game goes on, Squidward is constantly in harm throughout the gameplay.

After a while, Squidward gets sick of the game due to how random and nonsensical it is and quits. However, the other players come outside with him and continue playing the game. Squidward gets so angry that he smashes the board to pieces, only to end up getting arrested by the police, as the episode ends.

Running gags

  • Squidward being sent to a cardboard jail by Patrick.

  • A mini Patrick coming out of Patrick's head when he has an idea.
  • Sandy getting annoyed at Squidward for his rude behavior.

Release

Trivia

General

  • The episode was confirmed exactly a month before it premiered.
  • This episode marks the fifth time Squidward gets sent to jail. The first was in "Good Ol' Whatshisname," the second was in "Professor Squidward," the third was in "Fiasco!," and the fourth was in "Squid Defense."
  • This was the first episode to premiere on November 11 and not be a double length special.
  • This is the third episode to mention Squidward being an octopus, after "The Play's The Thing" and "Sweet and Sour Squid."
  • Patrick's game, Tic-Tac, is a reference to a game in the SpongeBob SquarePants Magazine, also called "Tic Tac." Patrick complains that SpongeBob won every time.
  • This episode holds the record for the most references to real-world objects.
  • The games that Patrick used to make Patrick! The Game were: Apologies!, Battling Robo-Tops, The Game of Misery, Grab 'Em Twigs, Bottomopoly, Sea Snakes and Ladders, Secret Date, World Take Over, Battle Boats, Surgery, Brain Trivia, Rat Catcher, Birdiecheesi, Ker-Gloosh!, Cavityland, and Slot Car Race Set.
    • Almost all of these are references to real life games.
  • Starting with this episode, Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller were both promoted to supervising producers.
  • By what is shown in the "Game Over" shot, "Patrick! The Game" is for ages 6 and under and may cause brain damage.
  • Irony: If Squidward wanted to get out of jail instead of rolling a 6 or waiting for someone to say his name Patrick could have added a Get out of Jail free card instead.
  • The "Game Over" shot is used similar to a "The End" card.
  • This was the first episode to have five opening credit titles, not counting guest stars.
  • This episode was paired with "Sold!" when that episode first aired on May 6, 2016.
  • In the Middle East (except Turkey), this episode airs with "Patrick-Man!," because its sister episode, "The Sewers Of Bikini Bottom," doesn't air there.[citation needed]
  • List of games Patrick tries to invent:
    • "Tic-Tac," a version of Tic-Tac-Toe that is easier to play, according to Patrick.
    • "Rock, Paper, Butter," a parody of Rock, Paper, Scissors
    • "Whose Rope Is Longer?"
  • This is the first episode to play "Marlin March" as the title card music since "Grooming Gary."
  • This episode was paired with "Sing a Song of Patrick" in 2018.
  • Patrick appears on the screen at the end and says, "Game Over!"
  • In production order, this, and the next episode "What's Eating Patrick?" both have Patrick's name in the title.

Cultural references

  • Squidward is shown to be using an iPod Classic with earbuds.
  • Cheez-Its appear in Patrick's snack bowl.

Errors

X's and O's are missing, as well as the "Galley Grub" and "Order Here" signs.

  • During the scene in which Patrick shows Squidward how to play Tic Tac and Squidward beats him, the Xs and Os drawn on the papers disappear right before the bubble transition.
    • The writing on the "Galley Grub" and "Order Here" signs disappear as well before the bubble transition.
  • Squidward should have been able to get out of jail the second time when Patrick said "Jail for Squidward!," as he could leave jail if someone said his name.
  • The button Patrick uses to raise his game right after creating it disappears in the next shot.
  • After Patrick made the rule regarding the person in jail, it should have been his turn, but the turn goes to Sandy.
  • When Sandy says, "Well, I'm excited--", her eyelashes disappears for a split-second.
  • Throughout the game, the players roll two dice, but on the first turn, Patrick rolls only one.
  • Squidward's pawn is already on Go To Jail when Patrick is describing the Driver's License card; when Squidward takes his turn, he lands on Go To Jail.
