Patrick Star (seasons 1-5, 9b-present)

Patrick Star is the deuteragonist of the SpongeBob SquarePants series.

He is an overweight, lazy, dimwitted, unmannerly, naive and ignorant starfish, who is best friends with SpongeBob SquarePants lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom next door to Squidward Tentacles' moai. Voiced by Bill Fagerbakke.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He may be dumb, but he presents his idiocy hilariously (not always, however).
 * 2) He was responsible for creating such memetic material with some expressions he's made from the series to the 2004 movie and such memeable scenes his existence has made with many worldwide.
 * 3) With that said, he is greatly animated.
 * 4) He also at the same time, made some quotable lines and timeless scenes that were quotable like the "Game over" scene or memeable like the "The ugly barnacle" story or the "Look at it" scene for example.
 * 5) He has shown to have a great, strong and healthy friendship with SpongeBob with thoroughly helping SpongeBob whenever he's at his lowest or even motivating him like in the pilot episode of SpongeBob in such a relatable and childlike fashion that he is quite lovable to be around when he isn't trying to be stupid, but rather a supportive stooge instead.
 * 6) * Also like Homer, he can have some brilliant moments with showing high intelligence on occassion aside from his usual stupidity.
 * 7) Speaking of which, he is a very pleasant, helpful, affable, and loyal character to be around.
 * 8) He's usually very understanding to his friends like SpongeBob and even other characters who loathe him like Squidward or Sandy.
 * 9) He has a cute character design, like SpongeBob and many characters done by Hillenburg.
 * 10) Despite being annoying at times, he has honest intentions for his behavior or actions.
 * 11) He is simple-minded but charming.
 * 12) While usually slothful, messy, and lazy at home, he can be fun-loving like SpongeBob and is also charmingly silly at the same time.
 * 13) He is amazingly, memorably, and hilariously voiced by Bill Fagerbakke in a goofy yet iconic manner (or sometimes in such different ways of speaking like in the Patrick Smartpants episode).

Bad Qualities

 * He, along with SpongeBob, was hit quite hard in flanderization from Seasons 6 to 8, although Season 5 was showing the true beginning of this, but Season 6 started to show the more offensively controversial or just hateful side of his bastardizing (but thankfully he was more redeemable and like himself again in new seasons).
 * 1) Even in his non-flanderization, he can be clueless and ignorant for the wrong reasons.
 * 2) His lack of common sense can be either destructive or provactive.
 * 3) At home he can be very listless, lazy, gross, untidy, slothful, and indolent. He can carry this attitude outside of his home, such as when he scratched his back with a spatula that he was using for cooking at the Krusty Krabs while SpongeBob was supposed to be on mandatory break by order of Mr. Krabs.
 * 4) His overreactions or temper tantrums, such as being put behind a red rope, can be very annoying.
 * 5) He can be super naive and have misjudgments about people.

Trivia

 * He spawned countless memes, the "Is mayonaise an instrament?" meme being the most well-remembered out of the many.
