Patrick Star's Voice Actor Reveals His Favorite SpongeBob Lines

In an interview with ComingSoon, Fagerbakke spoke a bit about his character's journey leading to the 2022 premiere of "The Patrick Star Show." He was asked to name a few of his favorite lines that his character has ever uttered, and it wasn't too hard for him to pick. Fagerbakke mentioned a moment from the Season 2 episode "The Secret Box." 

The episode centers around SpongeBob feverishly trying to figure out what Patrick is concealing in a box, and Patrick enjoys messing around with his friend's head. He utters the words, "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma" to demonstrate his complexity. Meanwhile, a thought bubble appears above Patrick's head showing a carton of milk spilling on a table, representing the simpleton he really is. The outrageous line was a delight for Fagerbakke to say in the studio. "Crazy outbursts, just like, "I love being purple!" Weird outbursts like that," the actor explained. 

Outside of his own character, one of Fagerbakke's favorite moments of all time comes from the "SpongeBob SquarePants" pilot episode. Mr. Krabs and Squidward send an eager SpongeBob off on an impossible task to find a tricked-out spatula. They wanted the annoying sponge out of their hair, and Squidward got a kick out of the prank. "Squidward comes up to Krabs and goes, '9A hydro-what? Oh, Mr. Krabs, you're horrible,'" Fagerbakke said. "That will always be one of my favorite lines in any kind of content."
