Patrick Star is the neighbor of Squidward Tentacles, with SpongeBob SquarePants residing not far away, all three of them on the same side of the street within walking distance of The Krusty Krab. While Patrick is shown to be employed as a part time Junior Associate of The Krusty Krab, and frequently returns to Community College, he is a sort of Antivillain. He downplays his abilities and pretends to be an unintelligent layabout because he has shown numerous times when he tries to do anything with his life, he takes it way too far. His temper has surged when he was given a handshake during Valentine Day, and decided to hunt SpongeBob when SpongeBob wished to commune with Jellyfish. He also kicked out an audience of customers at a movie theater. Patrick is known to be violent in his sleep in Home Sweet Pineapple. He tried to abduct Gary in another episode. Misses Puff, a villain in her own way, has felt uneasy around Patrick. And let us not forget the many occasions when Mermaid Man has identified Patrick Star as a Super Villain. Fans of the franchise have believed these things so much, that they also believe that Patrick Star is an offshoot of a slain villain, which would explain why Patrick, Janet, Marty, and Mister & Misses Star did not remember who raised him. Since then, the new Patrick Star has lived the life and identity of his former self. He does not want to harm SpongeBob, and since he has resorted to bullying SpongeBob numerous times such as when Patrick got his Driver's License, Patrick instead prefers to live his new life quietly as the innocent and seemingly idiotic sidekick of SpongeBob SquarePants, whose only mischief the duo participate in regularly is to drive Squidward crazy.
