Description and Biography[]
Patrick is portrayed as overweight, lazy, unmannerly, unintelligent, and generally ignorant. He lives on 120 Conch St. Unlike most of the other main characters of the series, Patrick lacks a nose. Because of this, he generally cannot smell.[13] However, in the episode, "No Nose Knows", Patrick receives a nose through plastic surgery. 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 another episode Patrick is able to grow a nose through sheer force of will. In Season 1, due to unsteady animation, his eyebrows were thin and in the shape of a couple of M's. Beginning in Season 2, his eyebrows were slightly thicker and shaped like Zs. In several episodes, Patrick is shown to variously have a full set of teeth, a single tooth, and sometimes none at all.
Patrick's intelligence is generally low, although it varies from episode to episode. Like from "Hello Bikini Bottom", Mr. Krabs: Unbelievable! They actually gathered a crowd! To think that all of these people came out to the middle of the desert to see Squidward and SpongeBob! Patrick: Or... They came to see the meteor shower that passes through the Aurora Borealis... generating a stunning once-in-a-lifetime light show.[15]
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 candy bar the second after he consumed it.
However, Patrick began to be intelligent and smart after he falls off a cliff.[16]
Patrick SmartPants's book.
Other times he can appear almost brilliant, and is prone to fits of temporary intelligence which confuse the other characters. In the episode "Tentacle Vision", Squidward asks Patrick "Just how dumb are you?" to which Patrick replies "It varies".[17] In earlier episodes, Patrick appeared to be somewhat more intelligent, often making profound comments and often being very articulate.
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 both for himself and also his friends.
In "Rule of Dumb", Patrick was discovered to be of royal blood and briefly reigned as King of Bikini Bottom. The true heir to the throne turned out to be Gary The Snail, who is revealed to be Patrick's cousin.[11]
