Almost everyone grew up watching one of the most popular cartoons of all time: Spongebob Squarepants. This hit kids show glued viewers to the screen with its unique lineup of characters, including the iconic Patrick Star. Patrick has said some lines that have made viewers start laughing hysterically, and other lines that are very deep and meaningful to the show.
It is about time that we recognize all the great things that Patrick has said since the show premiered almost over two decades ago. Without further ado, here are the Top 10 Patrick Star quotes.
10. “When in doubt, pinky out.” from “Tea at the Treedom”
After Spongebob meets Sandy for the first time and she invites him over for tea, Spongebob runs to Patrick about how he should go about this invitation. Patrick then teaches Spongebob how to be ‘fancy’ by always holding his pinky out as high as he can.
9. “Wait Spongebob! We’re not cavemen. We have technology.” from “Wet Painters”
When Spongebob and Patrick paint Mr. Krabs’s house, they get a drop of paint (which they believe is permanent) on Mr. Krabs’s first dollar. The duo tries many different methods to get the paint out, but they all fail. Then Patrick reminds Spongebob of technology’s presence in today’s world, before taking the computer and hitting the dollar bill with it.
8. “Once there was an ugly barnacle, he was so ugly that everyone died. The end.” from “Something Smells”
Spongebob believes that everyone in Bikini Bottom is avoiding him because he is ugly (an idea that Patrick actually suggested). Patrick tries to comfort his friend with his anecdote of The Ugly Barnacle, but as Spongebob puts it perfectly, it doesn’t help at all.
7. “No! This is Patrick! I’m not a Krusty Krab.” from “Big Pink Loser”
Patrick is feeling bummed about never winning an award, so Spongebob gets him a job at the Krusty Krab where Patrick will work the phone at the restaurant. Unfortunately, Patrick fails to understand that customers are calling the restaurant, and not him personally. He continues to get frustrated when people ask for The Krusty Krab and eventually slams the phone back in place.
6. “It’s not my wallet.” from “Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III”
After Spongebob and Patrick unfreeze Man-Ray, a notorious villain, the pair tries to teach him the ways of being a good person. They attempt to train him by creating a scenario where Man-Ray returns someone’s dropped wallet. This is where one of the funniest interchanges takes place as Patrick will not accept the wallet he just dropped, despite confirming all of the standards Man-Ray has just set that indicate the wallet is Patrick’s.
5. “We should take Bikini Bottom, and push it somewhere else!” from “Sandy, Spongebob, and the Worm”
When Bikini Bottom is terrorized by an Alaskan Bull Worm, the citizens try to figure out what to do. Patrick suggests that they all just take the city and literally push it somewhere else. Oddly enough, this is the idea the city tries to execute before the worm falls and crushes Bikini Bottom as it’s being pushed somewhere else.
4. “Is mayonnaise an instrument?” from “Band Geeks”
Squidward is organizing a marching band to play at the halftime show of the Bubble Bowl, unfortunately, nobody in Bikini Bottom is musically talented, or even knows what is and is not an instrument. Patrick curiously asks Squidward if mayonnaise meets the criteria, before Squidward says no in despair.
3. “The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.” from “The Secret Box”
Patrick has a secret box and refuses to let Spongebob see what is inside. When asked why, Patrick says that he is more complicated than Spongebob, who Patrick refers to as an open book. Patrick says that his mind is very complex and intellectual, but then the audience catches a glimpse of his thought bubble, which is just a split milk carton.
2. “You got it set to ‘m’ for ‘mini’, when it should be set to ‘w’ for ‘wumbo’.” from “Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV”
After Spongebob accidentally shrinks Squidward with Mermaid Man’s belt, he runs to Patrick to try and reverse the effect. Patrick takes a look at the belt and identifies that it is not at the right setting, and should be flipped around for ‘wumbo’. When Spongebob doubts this logic, Patrick describes wumbo and its connected words, including wumbology, the study of wumbo.
1. “Whoever’s the owner of the white sedan, you left your lights on.” from “Band Geeks”
Seconds after Patrick had asked Squidward if mayonnaise was an instrument, he finds himself in a fight with Sandy, who proceeds to beat him up as they go outside before she stuffs him in a trombone, which is not seen on screen. All the audience gets is a loud scream from Patrick. Then after a long pause, his head peeks through the door and he tells everyone that someone forgot to turn off their car lights. Patrick then walks back to his seat and everyone now sees the trombone, which has the entire audience laughing uncontrollably at our favorite pink starfish.
