| “ | Well, maybe it is stupid, but it's also dumb! | ” |
— Patrick Star, "The Camping Episode"
|
Patrick[1] Star[2] is SpongeBob's best friend as well as one of his neighbors. He is a naive and overweight pink sea star. Patrick is quite overweight due to his laziness as well as his enjoyment of eating ice cream, Krabby Patties, Triple Gooberberry Sunrises, Krusty Combos, and many other kinds of junk food and inedible sources.
SpongeBob finds out that Patrick’s “job” is fake in “Rock-A-Bye Bivalve.”
He lives under a brown rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Squidward are his neighbors. Both Patrick and SpongeBob bother Squidward, though they do not like to do it and they do it unknowingly and have good intentions.
Patrick also has an older sister named Sam Star. Her first mentioning is in "Something Smells," but in that episode, he claims he doesn't have a sister. She makes her debut in "Big Sister Sam."
He has the third most appearances in the series, behind Squidward, and then SpongeBob, who appears in all of the episodes except "The Algae's Always Greener," in which his dimensional counterpart appears.
Description
Patrick's portrayal is pleasant, overweight, lazy, unmannerly, naive, and generally ignorant. He lives under a rock on 120 Conch Street. Unlike most of the other main characters of the series, Patrick lacks a nose. Because of this, he generally cannot smell (such as in "Something Smells," in which SpongeBob has bad breath). However, in "The Battle of Bikini Bottom," Patrick is able to grow a nose through sheer force of will; however, in "No Nose Knows," Patrick receives a nose through plastic surgery. He goes through many noses. However, when Patrick tries to get rid of every bad smell, SpongeBob, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Sandy deform Patrick's nose by building a giant ball of trash and sewage. In season 1, due to unsteady animation, his eyebrows were thin, and in the shape of a couple of M's. The flowers on his pants are also dark purple instead of light. In the beginning in season 2, his eyebrows were slightly thicker and shaped like the letter Z. Patrick is shown to have either a full set of teeth, a single tooth, or sometimes none at all.
In some episodes, Patrick has trouble with even the most rudimentary tasks and displays little common sense or intelligence. His memory can be appalling and he can forget how to do the most instinctual of actions, such as eating or how to fall over. He once forgot that he ate a chocolate bar the second after he ate it in "Life of Crime."
In other times, he can appear almost so brilliant that it surprises the other characters, and is prone to fits of temporary intelligence, which confuses the other characters. Squidward once asked Patrick "Just how dumb are you?," to which Patrick replied, "It varies."[3] In earlier episodes, Patrick appeared to be somewhat more intelligent, often making profound comments and often being very articulate, such as when he, having messed up Mr. Krabs' first dollar with SpongeBob, complained about the fact that his first dollar is just an ordinary dollar and he should replace it with another ordinary dollar, though he forgets about it at the end and ends up buying a candy bar, much to SpongeBob's dismay.[4]
Patrick seems to detect malice and sarcasm more easily than SpongeBob, indicating that he is more attentive or emotionally connected than other characters. He also displays witty banter at times and often can be sarcastic. He is generally well-intentioned but often inadvertently causes trouble, for both himself and also his friends, such as in "Patrick-Man!" when he gets Mrs. Puff arrested and trashes the Krusty Krab, although he also ended up saving the Krusty Krab from the Dirty Bubble.
Appearance
Patrick is a chubby, pink starfish. He usually wears lime green pants with lavender flowers on them that look similar to the ones in the sky. The first movie reveals that he has 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. This is most likely done to make the episode more appropriate.
He has a pointy head along with thick eyebrows. He can occasionally have a one-tooth overbite. He is somewhat obese due to his love of Krabby Patties, ice cream, donuts, and many other junk foods. He has pink skin with red dots across his body.
Personality
Patrick is well known for his dimwitted, naive, and lazy nature. He wants to spend time being happy and laying around his rock and lacks common sense. He is overweight, mainly due to his obsession with junk food, such as ice cream and Krabby Patties, and many others. His lack of common sense often means that he is incapable of doing things right, as explained when he was briefly employed at the Krusty Krab when trying to earn an award in "Big Pink Loser."
Despite this, he still wants to help his friends, even if he doesn't do it right. He enjoys nothing more than spending time with SpongeBob, and will always turn to him when things don't seem right or when he wants to show off something that he thinks he succeeds in, even though he rarely does if ever.
Antagonistic roles
Despite being a friend of SpongeBob, he has done some villainous acts that affect one or more of the Bikini Bottomites, including SpongeBob himself. This is a list of episodes where he had a villainous role:
- "Jellyfishing" - He and SpongeBob force Squidward to go jellyfishing against his will, even when he gets badly injured.
- "Opposite Day" - He and SpongeBob pretend to be Squidward and ruin his chances of moving out of his Moai head.
- "Valentine's Day" - He causes rampage at the Valentine's Day Carnival because no one gave him any Valentine's Day gifts except for SpongeBob, which turned out to be something as little as a handshake. This is his most famous villainous role.
- "Suds" - Patrick impersonates a doctor in an attempt to cure SpongeBob of the suds but doesn't help matters.
- "Life of Crime"- He and SpongeBob steal a balloon. However, considering that it was National Free Balloon Day, this act can't realistically be branded on Patrick's antagonistic side. He also accuses SpongeBob of eating his chocolate bar, even though he ate his earlier.
- "Dumped" - This is one of his most villainous roles yet. He bluntly keeps Gary away from SpongeBob even though the latter is trying hard to get Gary back; Patrick ignores the signs that SpongeBob wants Gary back and doesn't pay attention to the fact that SpongeBob is heartbroken.
- "Band Geeks" - He starts a fight against Sandy for no reason.
- "I'm with Stupid" - He and SpongeBob pretended that the latter is stupid to make him look smarter in front of his parents, but he started milking the moment and started treating SpongeBob like dirt, ruthlessly insulting him, causing his best friend to scream at the top of his voice and run away.
- "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve" - When they adopt a baby scallop, he makes SpongeBob do all the work, while he just watches TV and eats junk food.
- "Driven to Tears" - He and SpongeBob fight, which leads to them both being arrested.
- "Rule of Dumb" - He becomes king of Bikini Bottom and abuses his power (up until Squidward spoke out against him) and when he returns the crown.
- "Best Day Ever"- He takes SpongeBob's new net for the entire day.
- "Good Ol' Whatshisname" - It is unknown what he did here, but he did something that resulted in his arrest, as evidenced by him sharing a cell with Squidward in jail at the end of the episode.
- "The Splinter" - Patrick, once again, impersonates a doctor to try and help SpongeBob but things are only far worsened.
- "The Card" - Patrick frequently endangers an extremely rare trading card that belongs to SpongeBob.
- "Sand Castles in the Sand" - He and SpongeBob fight in Goo Lagoon.
- "Stuck in the Wringer" - He cripples SpongeBob and shows no sympathy for him, rather he just shows his selfish side. The Bikini Bottomites then scold SpongeBob for yelling at Patrick despite his selfishness.
- "Yours, Mine and Mine" - He and SpongeBob battle over a licensed Krusty Krab toy, but Patrick eats it as Mr. Krabs gives one to each despite SpongeBob being the one to front all the money.
- "Big Sister Sam"- He allows his sister to demolish Squidward and SpongeBob's houses, hurt them, and scolds them for being mad about it.
- "Patrick's Staycation" - Patrick is ungrateful to SpongeBob throughout the episode.
- "Pet Sitter Pat" - Patrick causes serious harm to Gary, shoots a running hose at him in an attempt to get him to bathe, chases him down with and almost kills him with a flamethrower, and comments that although he found none, he is about to dry Gary off with salt (which can kill snails). The fact that Patrick and Gary are related (cousins) aggravates this role of antagonism.
- "Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom" - He eats Squidward's tickets for a Kelpy G concert.
- "The Fish Bowl" - He is put in charge by Sandy during her behavioral experiment. However, as the experiment gets further, Patrick gets carried away with being in charge and selfishly takes advantage of his own privileges and of SpongeBob by making him do whatever he tells him to do. However, unlike other episodes where he shows no remorse for his wrongdoings, Patrick later sees the error of his ways and starts to regret his actions.
Abilities and talents
Patrick, although mentally weak and naive, has many skills, such as:
- Strength: Patrick has shown to be very physically strong; in many episodes, he can lift his rock. In "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" and "Squid Baby," he is strong enough to lift the entire road. In many video games, such as Battle for Bikini Bottom, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game, and SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis, his special ability is to pick up and throw heavy objects and even his friends. Also, in "Patrick-Man!," he throws really heavy objects with ease and in "The Play's the Thing," he is shown to throw an anchor with ease. However, in "Krusty Krushers," he cannot even tear a piece of paper apart and then gets a paper cut.
- Driving: Patrick has shown to be an excellent driver, unlike SpongeBob as seen in "Driven to Tears."
- Singing: Patrick has never had a solo and rarely sings; however, he does it fairly well when he does.
- Drumming: When it comes to music, Patrick's main instrument is the drums. He was the lead drummer in the Bikini Bottom Super Band.[5] He also drums in "Squidward's House Party," "Tentacle Vision," and at the end of the "Campfire Song Song" in "The Camping Episode." He also plays a drum solo on his stomach in "Krabby Road."
- 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. Squidward said he had to go to the bathroom and take a shower but the Krusty Krab does not have showers (He was probably talking about a shower at his house or simply making an excuse to leave out of embarrassment).
- Seahorse riding: In "Dunces and Dragons," Patrick does not know how to ride a seahorse; however, in "A Life in a Day," he can do it, it is likely that he learned how to ride over time.
- 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 (while laughing at SpongeBob and Patrick fight).
- Survival Skills: In "To Save a Squirrel," he and SpongeBob nearly eat each other to survive. He also made earmuffs out of his own belly button lint so they could play without Sandy harassing them in "Survival of the Idiots." He also made warm clothing out of her fur.
- Jellyfishing: Patrick sometimes forgets how to jellyfish, however once reminded, he does it particularly well.
- Eating: In "Pressure," Patrick ate a Krabby Double Deluxe in one bite. Not only that, but Patrick is shown to have an enormous appetite and can swallow large foods in one bite, having eaten an entire table of food in "Rock-a-Bye-Bivalve." He was able to eat 1,000 Krabby Patties in 5 minutes, which is seen in "What's Eating Patrick?"
- Doing absolutely nothing: In "Stanley S. SquarePants," Patrick showed SpongeBob and Stanley on the art of doing nothing, and in "The Pink Purloiner," he did nothing for 8 hours straight, while SpongeBob was spying on him. In "Big Pink Loser," he even gets an award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else."
- Staring: Patrick is good at staring with SpongeBob in their Staring Contest Game in various episodes.
- Karate Chopping: In "Karate Star," Patrick is a skilled karate "genius" at chopping. However, his hand started to go out of control and he cut it off, regenerating his limbs like SpongeBob in "Graveyard Shift."
- Performing anything dangerous: In "A Life in a Day," Patrick wanted to "live like Larry" by torturing himself in life-threatening skills. He soon gave up on this lifestyle.
- Performing extreme stunts: Patrick is sometimes an ultimate daredevil in "I Had an Accident" and "A Life in a Day" He also did a few moderately extreme stunts in "Extreme Spots."
- Regeneration: In "Karate Star," he went completely crazy and ripped his arm off which a new Patrick grew from. Once he explained to SpongeBob starfish regenerate their arms, they were both fine with it.

Residence
Patrick's house.
Patrick literally lives under a rock, at 120 Conch Street, two doors down from his best friend, 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 "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, but in some, you can see his house, like in "Patrick's Staycation," "The Donut of Shame," "No Nose Knows," and other episodes. It is possible that he makes his own furniture, as shown in "I'm with Stupid," but he is too lazy to make it sometimes, explaining the different states of his house.
One of the insides of Patrick's 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 original series, 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!"

Multiverse
An alternate Patrick exists in the universe seen in the shorts "What if SpongeBob was Gone." Without SpongeBob, he cannot jellyfish properly, implying that SpongeBob may have taught Patrick to jellyfish.
Bearded Patrick
Another alternate Patrick existed in the timeline where the Krabby Patty secret formula was never returned to Bikini Bottom after being stolen by Burger Beard the Pirate. This caused Patrick to rapidly age and grow a long beard. He encountered SpongeBob and Plankton when their time machine sent them 4 days into the future, where he was sitting on the sand-covered ruins of the Krusty Krab. He said that unlike everyone else; he still hadn't given up on SpongeBob because he wasn't very smart.
Relationships
SpongeBob
SpongeBob and Patrick have been best friends since they were born.[7] They have spent a large majority of their life together and are very close to one another. Patrick cares about SpongeBob very much as shown in a multitude of episodes. He often tries to give SpongeBob the best advice he has even if it's very illogical. He also is shown to go to great lengths for SpongeBob such as trying to make SpongeBob his "trophy" just so that he and SpongeBob could be together again. He also shows great sorrow when not around SpongeBob, which he has mentioned frequently. He even followed SpongeBob to the bitter end on their journey to Shell City. Though he has been on bad terms with SpongeBob many times throughout the series, they always come back together as best friends.
Squidward
Patrick, along with SpongeBob, often annoys Squidward, although he thinks he is one of his best friends, Squidward doesn't reciprocate the "friendship." Unlike SpongeBob, Patrick had actually noticed that Squidward didn't like them but was incorrectly assured by SpongeBob they were his friends. Squidward, for the most part, thinks Patrick is annoying and dumb, even worse than SpongeBob. He has sometimes got along with Squidward though, such as "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" and "Band Geeks," although they only last for short amounts of time as Squidward regularly shows his contempt for Patrick or the latter gains the sense to be annoyed with Squidward like in "Wishing You Well." Despite that, Squidward is actually Patrick's best friend after Spongebob as he defended Patrick as shown when he quickly stopped Mr. Krabs from scamming a naive Patrick of his ice cream coupon in "Patrick's Coupon."
Sandy Cheeks
Patrick and Sandy are close friends. Although Sandy has numerously been annoyed by Patrick's utter stupidity and on occasion has threatened to attack Patrick as shown in "Texas" and "Survival of the Idiots, the two usually get along very well.
Mr. Krabs
His relationship with Mr. Krabs is a complex one, for the most part, Mr. Krabs thinks Patrick is too dumb to be bothered with, although he sometimes takes him as an employee and occasionally acts as a father figure towards him (as seen in "Sailor Mouth" and "Hooky"). Usually, when Patrick acts as an employee for Mr. Krabs, it doesn't end well, as when in "Big Pink Loser" when he was a disaster of an employee, or "Restraining SpongeBob" when he was so much worse than SpongeBob as a middleman, Squidward actually replaced SpongeBob with Patrick on the Restraining Order.
Plankton
Patrick and Plankton have only interacted a few times, but the times they did interact Plankton often despised his idiocy. In the episode "Chum Bucket Supreme," Patrick helps Plankton gets customers by creating a slogan.
