Oct 27, 2021 · On the SpongeBob Squarepants Fandom, Patrick Star, who now has his own spin-off show, is 37 years old. (His birthday is apparently August 17, 1984.) We know that Mr. Krabs' daughter Pearl is a teenager in high school, so she's probably between 16 and 18 considering that she's seen on the show driving and has gone to prom.

Patrick Star (born August 17, 1984[citation needed]), is one of the ten main characters of the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, and the main character of his own spin-off, The Patrick Star Show. He is SpongeBob's best friend as well as one of his two neighbors.
He is a naïve and overweight pink sea star. He is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke and first appears in "Help Wanted."
He lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Squidward are his two neighbors, and, when viewed on the front side, are to the right of his residence.
He and SpongeBob both tend to bother Squidward, though they do it unknowingly and have good intentions. In the original series, Patrick is the son of Herb and Margie Star and the brother of Sam Star. In The Patrick Star Show, Patrick has a different family: parents Cecil and Bunny, grandfather GrandPat, and sister Squidina.
Stephen Hillenburg first designed a prototypic starfish character while teaching marine science at the Ocean Institute in California. He created the character for The Intertidal Zone, an educational picture book used to teach young students at the Institute, which would eventually lead to the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants. This prototype starfish character was much more realistic than Patrick; it had an eyespot on each arm and a large mouth in the center of its body. In 1987, Hillenburg left the institute to pursue a career in animation.
After Martin Olson suggested that Hillenburg develop The Intertidal Zone into a television show, Hillenburg began fleshing out the characters. Patrick Star was conceived as a starfish to embody the animal's nature; according to Hillenburg, starfish look "dumb and slow," but they are actually "very active and aggressive" in reality, like Patrick. Hillenburg incorporated character comedy rather than typical humor on the show to emphasize "things that are more about humorous situations and about characters and their flaws." He designed Patrick and SpongeBob as such because "they're whipping themselves up into situations—that's always where the humor comes from. The rule is: Follow the innocence and avoid topical [humor]." Hillenburg described Patrick as "probably the dumbest guy in town."
Despite being depicted as having a good temperament or state of mind, Patrick has been shown in some episodes to have a tantrum. Patrick's emotional outbreak was originally written only for the first-season episode "Valentine's Day," where SpongeBob and Sandy try to give Patrick a Valentine's Day gift, and "was supposed to be a one-time thing." However, according to episode writer Jay Lender, "when that show came back it felt so right that his dark side started popping up everywhere. You can plan ahead all you want, but the characters eventually tell you who they are."
Many characters in the show have their own unique footstep sound. The sound of Patrick's footsteps is recorded by the show's Foley crew, with a Foley talent wearing a slip-on shoe. Jeff Hutchins, the show's sound designer said, "[Going] barefoot makes it tough to have much presence, so we decided that Patrick would be performed with shoes on."
According to the SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014 book published by the Egmont Group, Patrick's birthday is on August 17.
Sam was lost at sea when she and Patrick were children. He did not see her again until the episode "Big Sister Sam." In the same episode, he mentions how Sam was his 'rock' when they were younger and how she looked out for him, implying they were somehow separated from their parents when Patrick was a baby. However, in "I'm with Stupid," he can immediately recognize his parents and it's implied they are not long-lost.
When he was a toddler, his parents would ring a bell in order for Patrick to take a bath, causing Patrick to have a severe tantrum every time he hears a bell.
Patrick met SpongeBob when the two were babies, as shown in "The Secret Box."
When he was a kid, Patrick tended to recite poems during gym class, which ruined his reputation and made him a target for dodgeball players, as shown in "Sing a Song of Patrick."
Later, he attended Kamp Koral, where he reunited with SpongeBob and met his future neighbor Squidward as his counselor.
Patrick is an overweight, coral-pink starfish (whose exact shade of pink is designated by Pantone to be Patrick Star Pink) with a pointy head, thick eyebrows, lavender eyelids, and red dots across in his body. In season 1, due to unsteady or cel-animation, his eyebrows were thin, and in the shape of 2 sideways "M" shapes in the form of a pink unibrow. The flowers on his pants were also dark purple instead of light.
At the beginning of season 2, Patrick's eyebrows were slightly thicker and shaped like the letter Z. However, in most of "Your Shoe's Untied" and "Big Pink Loser," his eyebrows are in the original sideways M shape as they were in season 1. Patrick's new Z shaped eyebrows first appeared in "Your Shoe's Untied" when "Loop de Loop" is playing in the part where Patrick gets a shoe as a scoop of ice cream.
He is shown to have either a full set of teeth, a single tooth, or sometimes none at all. In seasons 1 through 3, Patrick had been shown with plenty of teeth, but from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie onward, he has been shown with only one tooth. He was seen with one tooth for one or a few scenes in "Christmas Who?," "Survival of the Idiots," " The Secret Box," "I'm with Stupid," "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve," "Krusty Krab Training Video," "Chocolate with Nuts," and "New Student Starfish" though.
Patrick usually wears only a pair of lime-green shorts with purple flowers on them. The first movie and "Born to Be Wild" reveal that he wears Goofy Goober underwear, which he wore for three years straight. He changed out of them upon becoming a "man." When sleeping alone, he normally just wears plain underwear, but when he has company, he wears lavender pajamas with pale green flowers on them, along with a matching nightcap.
In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, he wears the same shorts as in the original show, but now wears a green shirt and a red handkerchief. In The Patrick Star Show, he wears a green shirt with white flowers on it, and purple shorts.
Like various characters, Patrick has no ears but can hear just fine. A reference to his lack of ears is made at the end of the episode "No Nose Knows," where he is shown to have gotten a giant set of ears through plastic surgery and says, "I heard that." at the very end. However, he is shown to have an ear that he did not know he had previously in "Bummer Vacation."
