Patrick Star is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon TV cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is perhaps the dumbest resident of Bikini Bottom, though he did attend a community college. He is about the same age as SpongeBob, and is a plump, pink, well-meaning but clueless starfish.

Patrick is SpongeBob's best friend. He is less keen than SpongeBob, but often has brief moments of rare insight. Patrick cooks up crazy ideas that often get SpongeBob and himself into a mess of trouble. He fancies himself quite the jellyfisher, and loves many of the same things that Spongebob loves. He was said to be born on March 14, 1983. He lives under a rock on 120 Conch Street, two doors down from his best friend. He really likes balloons and ice cream, but is very scary when provoked. He also wakes up at 3 a.m. to eat Krabby Patties.

In the early episodes, Patrick simply wears his trunks to bed. Later on he appears in a pajama outfit. In the newest episodes, including the one that showed his 3 a.m. eating habit, he is seen wearing briefs to bed, just like his friend SpongeBob.

Patrick Star has also become something of a gay icon because he is often being depicted holding hands with SpongeBob. However both he and Spongebob, though of uncertain age, are generally childlike. Nevertheless, he has a 'schoolboy crush' on Princess Mindy in the movie. Stephen Hillenburg, creator of the show, has said that he regards ALL sea creatures in the show asexual.
