Patrick character

Patrick Star is character in SpongeBob Squarepants. He is a friendly yet sometimes aggresive starfish and SpongeBob's best friend. He and SpongeBob have apparently known each other since infancy, and they share many interests (jelly fishing, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, bubble blowing, etc.). Patrick is allways stupid, and he often convinces SpongeBob to accompany him in dangerous or fruitless activities, such as playing near fish hooks and eating whole pumpkins. His stupidity can be so potent that he sometimes suffers from lapses of memory (like trying to eat a chocolate bar twice) and complete shutdown of any thought whatsoever. However, Spongebob later realizes that he accidentally put brain coral on Patrick instead of his head. When Spongebob reverses the change, Patrick returns to normal. In spite of the disastrous outcomes of Patrick's ideas, SpongeBob constantly attests to Patrick's genius and consults the starfish for advice and guidance. Patrick has no job or trade and spends most of his time sleeping or playing with SpongeBob. He does give advice to SpongeBob, although it's not practical. When he tries to find work, it is shown that he has little practical skill; for example in "Big Pink Loser," he struggles with tasks such as sweeping or opening a jar. Patrick lives two houses down from Spongebob under a rock at 120 Conch Street.
