First, last, and all else in between or surrounding!
i am in your walls trevor
This is gonna be a recurring thing in your comments, isn't it.
@@Trenton-videosIt has been for the last few months.
Boy do I know some Patchies in my life! The biggest example is the Paper Mario fandom (pacifically the TTYD fanbase) Reason why is because once Color Splash came out with it having the same battle system as Sticker Star (the most hated game in the fandom at the time) they were begging for a remaster of TTYD, and even creating a hashtag for it. And when we got that remaster 8 years later (really, it's a remake which is even better) they still took the time to hate on it by nitpicking every little thing about it. Like the frame rate, some dialog changes, or heck even the graphics and music. They even complain since it's a remake it's not worth your money because it's just a game from the GameCube. EVEN IF A TON OF PEOPLE WERE BEGGING THIS GAME TO BE REMADE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! Just goes to show even when a fan base gets what they want they are still very unsatisfied.
Hey is patchy meeting SpongeBob even cannon? 🤔
Patchy has aged so well that it gets scary. It’s like a lot of what South Park did back in the day. What used to be satire is now seen as normal.
Autism is more mainstream now than it was back in the day. They used to just lock those people up in an insane asylum, and pretend they didn't exist. Just like Rosemary Kennedy.
Humanity has always been weak and stupid, it’s just being enabled more by modern society.
WAKKO MENTIONED?!
He also managed to find lost media before it was cool with the SpongeBob walk cycle
Only to destroy it at the end.
@@KawikaProductionsjokes aside the BGM for that actually slaps.
And the during one of the Christmas special after the 20th anniversary episode, he just casually knows Spongebob and Patrick.
Heh, possibly that could be one of his SELF-FANFICS....👀
Like a doujinshi (I don't mean the BAD or "loli" kind) where he gets isekaid to Bikini Bottom!
Oh good Lord, Patchy felt adorable as a kid, and I used to love him - until I saw Twitter. It’s an entire *site* of Patchys. Also, what drives me insane still about what the show did with him in Big Blowout feels less like a character arc ending and more, “We have turned Patchy into a gag we can wheel out on occasion now.”
Well that's modern spongebob for ya. Doesn't like to treat their characters right...
I can’t believe we live in a world where a prolific video essay on Patchy the Pirate of all things exists.
I love Patchy! Tom Kenny is just as much fun to see as a live performer as he is to listen to as a voice actor, the man is a treasure.
When I was a teenager I was very much like Patchy in hindsight, specifically with Doctor Who. That show pretty much took up the bulk of my spare time, and in hindsight I very much used it as a crutch to avoid having to focus on human connection. I still struggle socially sometimes, but I make a point of putting myself out there and I have a much more active social life than I did during my adolescence.
Every fandom ever. Such as Hazbin hotel, helluva boss, mlp, etc. They’re giving us normal fans a bad name. 😢
I Don’t Care For Non Of These Things, But Yeah I Could Feel The Pain Of MANY Of The Good Eggs Of Every Fandom :/
@@BraydenBunch58Why did you type it like that?
@@juicebox7372 My apologies. I just type like that. I’m typing normal now lol :P
Don't forget the Star Wars fandom.
Yeah, I get that there are people that are like Patchy though. Obsessing over small things that are in media. That is what I do sometimes, especially when I get attached to a character. Though I try and avoid being obsessive over one thing. That's why I like that I am into a lot of things at a time, gives me multiple things my brain can hyper focus on and not just the one thing. I am planning on getting a job soon after I have a physical and mental evaluation in case I do have any underlining issues, I think I might be on the spectrum but I am not entirely sure. Outside of media though, I do have a life, not a very social life outside the internet but a life. I go outside regularly, I do chores, I am learning languages, I am drawing and painting things that aren't cartoon related. I just take care of myself and my family in general and as best as I can. I try not to be a patchy on like those people, but I can come across like that sometimes.
Whether if it's SpongeBob, DuckTales, Danny Phantom, The Owl House, Adventure Time, those Star Wars shows, or whatever you can think of, you can still love it with all your heart, but don't let your life revolve around it. Don't be a Patchy.
Yeah, I’ve seen way too many Patchys on Facebook.
Not a bad way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of _SpongeBob SquarePants_ . By the way, I love how the title cards in the video feel like something right out of the show itself. Very genius and pretty clever.
Patchy the pirate: I lost my remote!
Old lady next door: *throws remote*
*Knocks patchy out*
I, indeed, know a few Patchys. Whether they're obsessed with Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel movies, or even sports, they turn love of something into religious devotion. A response I often hear is, "let people enjoy things," as though my disapproval is an attack on them.
My first thought is, "Don't you get bored?" My other is that it's foolish to dedicate your life to one thing as people who dedicate to their one lives because, well, what if you lose it? What will you be?
Would you think that Patchy ever made Weird Spongebob fanfics and EVEN HAVE THOSE types of body pillows..or is that WAY too far by His standards?!?
I think self inserting fanfics maybe. Body pillows likely not unless he's really into Sandy too. He probably believes those ideas that spongebob is Asexual and respects that.
I’d hate to see his fanart.
@@Saltheslab I mean...Bubble Bass can obviously be seen as having body pillows, he did revealed to have a catgirl waifu! (Didn't make this up!)
Patchy the Pirate: “Wants to meet SpongeBob”.
Me: I already met SpongeBob! Twice.
That’s Tom Kenny by the way. Really nice guy.
Lucky. I wish I can meet him. He's such an inspiration too me in general and I would love to just talk about him for like hours about his roles and what he possibly has going on in the future.
I envy you. I'd love to meet him someday.
I think my favorite Patchy segments would have to be Atlantis Squarepantis and B.C. Befote Comedy for how silly and over the top they are.
5:45 Fun fact that BTR appearance is the only time that SpongeBob was not mentioned by him.
i did notice that when i watched Big Time Rush.
Even in the newer seasons, Patchy is the one saving grace of the SpongeBob franchise. While the stories in Bikini Bottom kept sinking, Patchy’s fanboy ways and pirate-like mannerisms helped make the show tolerable at best. Basically, the main plot sucks, but at least the pirate is still funny.
Much like Scrat from Ice Age.
I always kind of wished he'd get his own spinoff show, like a nautical version of Pee-Wee's Playhouse or the Weird Al Show. Tom Kenny is an amazing performer.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 Funny you should mention Pee-Wee Playhouse since Tom Kenny other Live-Action Role was basically a Evil Pee-Wee Herman on Crack in "The Haunting Hour" episode "Uncle Howie".
@@jaggerguth4391there’s also the fact that Patchy himself was meant to be a throwback to cheesy live-hosted kid's shows.
The Sponge Who Could Fly and Ugh are my favorite Patchy episodes.
Patchy's situation is the equivalent for wanting to meet Tom Kenny at A convention dressed up as Spongebob holding an animation cel of Spongebob for pure authenticity. One of either scenario will make someone's day just fine, but to take it so far like that is kinda depressing, and to his credit, Tom Kenny illustrates that so well as Patchy. I consider myself A well adjusted cartoon fan who can still try to blend in with society. (I only tale to people I know well, and only talk to people at A store for help answer A question I have about something I might want to purchase.) but I'm also learning to take those first steps to not be as obsessive as Patchy. Bottom line, concentrate on the important things in your life first before you indulge in your favorite things. You'll be better off that way.
Well to be fair he was with SpongeBob again in the christmas special later and hugged him so maybe he now is just friends with SpongeBob and now is friends with him.
When I was in middle school I was a little bit of a patchy thanks to my obsession with sonic the hedgehog at the time. I still have social anxiety on occasion but I opened up after graduating to high school and found more to focus on.
You made the most amazing points here, and I can totally relate to all the social problems mentioned!
I know that we can all outgrow these comfort moments to start our real lives.
Take off the rose colored glasses may be difficult but it will be ultimately worth it.
you don't need to out grow your comfort things just don't let them consume your entire life
@@jskywalker58The commenter didn't say to outgrow the comfort things, but the comfort moments.
There is a difference.
I love Patchy! After watching this video, I’m pretty surprised that Patchy actually wants to be like SpongeBob. Your videos have great advice.
This really sounds like the life of Chris Chan.
patchy is nowhere near as bad as chris
But at least Patchy didn't spray some jew in the eyes with pepper spray, try to hit him with his car, or be doxxed online. Though, that'll be kinda funny. Except for the RECENT thing Chris did.
If Patchy was in the first SpongeBob movie during the beginning seeing the SpongeBob movie that would’ve made it better
I am not a fan of modern SpongeBob either, but I do like Patchy the Pirate. He’s a comedic character.
My favorite Patchy the Pirate segments are Ugh and Christmas Who. These are undoubtedly classic.
Weirdly enough, I've seen a friend go through this EXACT same thing, and it caused me to grow out of something i used to be obsessed with altogether.
Funny this is one of many factors in media we've watched that introduced us to the crazier and meaner side of fandoms.
Reminds me of how my Special Interests are Autism Related Security Blankets, but I tend to obsess on them too, which is probably an Autism Thing.
What a coincidence I have autism and a security blanket
It’s so cool how Tom Kenny also played Patchy and the Pirate and voiced SpongeBob in the show as well! Similar to the Amanda show. Amanda Bynes also played Penelope Tait, Amanda’s number 1 fan please!
I should note that Tom Kenny's other live-Action Role was in R.L. Stine "The Haunting Hour" as the titular Villain in "Uncle Howie".
Well, I am most happy Patchy finally met SpongeBob after years since his first appearance. "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout" is just a complete peak special. And cheers for the silver jubilee of SpongeBob! I'm very glad they did this back in 2019 and normally, SpongeBob is not a continuity driven show (seriously, when did continuity matter this much?). But I am welcoming to be more happy he goes from having a lot of failed attempts at being like SpongeBob or wanting to see SpongeBob for himself in person with everything biting back at him in the ass, to finally ending it off on a good note where SpongeBob is welcoming to meet him. And he makes for a great satirical character as how
But on a lesser happier note, I can definitely get where this video is coming from with Patchy being a fanatic over a cartoon character we have known since 1999. I am a fan of a lot of stuff (i.e. SpongeBob, Looney Tunes, Thomas the Tank Engine, Adventure Time, South Park, The Simpsons, Smiling Friends, Rick and Morty, Pingu, Pokémon, Komi Can't Communicate, Regular Show, etc.). But there are those people from other fandoms acting like a Patchy by either that or doing things that Patchy himself would never do. I have seen and heard of other fandoms coming out as pure toxic with their obsessions over a show (or something else) that they take full advantage of their passion to the brim or doing things a normal person (regardless if they're a fan of something or not) should not ever do. And if I need to take your word for it, I'd rather choose safe so I don't be like those idiots in a fandom that put in words on a dead person's body by running his name into the ground over certain things they don't even like about their favorite franchise (what I mean by that is saying people like Stephen Hillenburg, Wilbert Awdry, Dr. Seuss, Mel Blanc, or even Walt Disney as examples are turning in their own graves despite already being dead by now) or doing terrible things to make a fandom of people look justifiable by downplaying everything by representing a fandom in a bad name and shooting yourself in the foot or both feet (The Loud House, Rick and Morty, and Steven Universe fandoms are good examples).
It's okay to take a look at something in media and have them as your comfort thing. But don't ever act like Patchy (yes, that means the rest of the SpongeBob fanbase given the damage I've seen it do to itself) and think you can get away with your crazy shenanigans. Everything will turn right back on you.
Since you say something about South Park once, imagine a crossover of that show with Craig of the Creek. The horse girls, thoe 3 neckbeard DnD guys, and those tulip looking dudes will be SO BULLIED by Cartman. A crossover might not happen, so a fan crossover.
I love these videos where you tell us more about your own experiences, and relate them to the character of the week. I’d love to see more like these!
Balto The Cult Classic That Became A Unofficial Cartoon Network favorite for many '90s CN fans
getting rid of he things that make you happy isn't the answer. This is why we have the concept of collecting and seeing things grow with value. As result we made things o be collected, made too many of them and hey didn't become rare and didn't gain value. Being a fan and owning stuff doesn't hurt yo0u. Nor are "All fans" losers with no life who never grow up and stay at home. You're whole life can revolve around sports and THS is seen as "Acceptable" What makes being a fan cross the line is when you ruin other people's lives to reach your goal. And some times, meeting your hero leads to disappointment. You can find out that they in real life are nothing like them selves on he show. It would be more realistic if Patchy met SpongeBob and SpongeBob was a jerk or if Patchy went to see a New SpongeBob movie only to find out that his character design , personality and all his friends had completely changed. That there had been a reboot and Now SpongeBob was a Brillo pad , Sandy was a Chipmunk from Arizona, Mr Krabs wasn't greedy, Patrick was a female love interest, Squidwarth was an octopus and Gary wasn't in it at all. and hen Patchy went on attack blasting the studio with pirate weapons because he was mad that the show had changed.
The UGH segment reminds me of old caveman movies like “caveman” with ringo Starr and Barbara Bach!
The (1994) flinstones movie with John Goodman and Halle berry and others i could think of!
I’m Autistic, And I ADORE A Lot Of Things. NASCAR, Animation, And Other Things As Well. When I Go In Public, Things Are Pretty Overwhelming. But I Really Haven’t Been In Conversations Yet. But When I Do, I Hope To Make Pretty Good Friends……..And Try Not To Be Like Patchy LOL
for any "highly functioning" autistics and autistics, try not to get anxious or panicked feeling, life is overwhelming a lot, and you can take it slow.
I’d like to think, based off Alex Bale’s theory, is that Patchy never met SpongeBob and died suffocating in the sand he was buried in. After suffering a horrific death, Patchy wound up being so full of obsessiveness and rage that he became the Flying Dutchman and instead of idolizing SpongeBob, he terrifies him (and other Bikini Bottom citizens). But despite being the underwater equivalent to the devil or something, he is still a sad lonely “pirate” who wants to be SpongeBob’s friend.
Nope, Dutchman and patchy exist at the same time.
Oh and he also hosted a couple marathons and ad spots during the Golden and Silver Age, some of which are partially lost
All the Patchy episodes I've ever saw are consistent bangers for me! I used to have a phase were I was into Spongebob as a kid. Not as much now, but I was. I used to have Spongebob comics, some DVDs, and some merch. I've became disillusioned with the seasons after season 8 and the second film. I feel like the series went on for too long and characters aren't what they used to be.
I see the show as a cancer to Nickelodeon where they need it or else they might die. I'm looking at your Vs. The Network videos.
ESPECIALLY after everything recently.
Nick needs to do two things if they want to survive when the Sponge inevitably fades:
1. Better background checks/protecting their child actors
2. Treat their shows better and stop cancelling because of low ratings. Give the shows a chance.
Starting this episode: Oh yay I cant wait to hear a video about Tom Kenny being goofy Patchy the Pirate.
After the video: 😟 um.... I think I need to get out just a bit more.
Actually he did meet him. On spongebob birthday episode from a few years ago
My favorite Patchy the Pirate segments would definitely be “Christmas Who?“ and UGH. The old ones were classic. Friend or Foe almost came close.
He Did Get The Chance In In 20th Anniversary Special
…Suddenly I feel personally attacked for being such a big DT17 fan. Granted, I don’t consider myself as bad at it as Patchy or [insert least favorite fandom here], but I do tend to be pretty insecure with my interests, and being autistic means that I have a lot more passion for the show than normal people so, yeah
I feel called out from that first minute. Good stuff
It woulda been best that to break patchies obsession with spongebob is to make spongebob ruin his life in such a traumatic way, that hell become a hater.
is your obligatory suit character meant to look like a troll face
patchy and recap kid should fight to the death
biggest spongebob fan vs biggest invader zim fan
whos the most powerful hyperfixater
The internet currently made it easier to share, push and defend your fandom. But yes even before then we did have arguments over whose fandom was better.
Im not shore a fictional fan counts as a fan though
but I do remember having schoolyard arguments over
Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat vs Neo Geo
Game Boy vs Game Gear vs Lynx
Singfield
The Simpsons
Jim Carry Movies
Star Wars vs Star Trek
WWF Wrestlers
PC vs Nintendo vs Sega
Garfield vs Heathcliff
MNT vs Power Rangers vs Bale Toads
Gobots vs Transformers
who was he best Joker
Will there be a New Batman film?
Will there be a new X-men film?
Can we go more then 3G?
are Pokémon Rumors real?
Freddy vs Jason
best Monster
King Kong or Godzilla?
Titanium vs Adamantium vs Plexiglas
Thundercats or He-Man
Eureeka's Castle vs Pinwheel
Bill Cosbey vs Urkel
Ren and Stimpy vs Doug vs Rugrats
there was a lo of passion pre-Inernet.
always he mind set that an answer was right or wrong no thought of opinions and all are valid. Our side HAD to "Win" People supporting the other side were wrong and needed to be punished.
in the days of the Inernet I have seen quite a few arguments and many of them just strait up wrong. Like "Super Mario World was too easy to beat and he graphics sucked and Sonic was better, SMB 3 had better graphics. " or "Everything Pinkie Pie sings is amazing and just shut up" or he always classic "Its rue my Big brother said so"
Everything spot’s taken so I pick null. I’m officially claiming something that doesn’t exist.
you know Trevor, something I recommend for this type of subject is called the Eltingville club. it was a comic series that ran from 1994-2016, it took a long hiatus in 2002 because the creator said that the reason why he created it was because he wanted to parody fan culture and how pathetic they could be like patchy. but the sad thing is what he thought was parody became reality, so he put it on an indefinite hiatus, but then he brought cause it didn’t work. But he brought it back in 2014 we’re not only the characters got worse, but it became a lot more smarter as well.
For the record this is not a request , it’s just a really smart comic I recommend
He covered it a few months ago.
@@tyrannosaurusallen3703 link?
@@pixilatedink.7920 It’s the video Adult Swim Originals Vs the Network.
0:54 Ugh! Not that kid again. Don't you know that putting that clip serves no purpose other than to torture the ears of whoever's unlucky enough to listen to it. Extra bad luck for those listening with headphones or earbuds.
wasn't his whole thing an act from what i heard, that was his true opinions but he purposely said it an a exaggeratted way to get his point across.
@@jskywalker58 From what I recall he was mainly influenced by other reviewers at the time who ranted. Supposedly MarioTehPlumber directly influenced his videos and was a bad influence. Honestly I just wish people just let the kid go. There is a big difference between a annoying kid and a adult like Patchy. Which I think showing a adult showcase that behavior would've been a better example than a literal kid. Plus those videos are so outdated and he has grown up as a stable person who doesn't yell like that anymore. In fact he actually got a job as a teacher in one school.
11:15 why is Patchy a severed head?
Same
How are things coming along with your book?
We’re about a third of the way done with the first draft!
@@mediamementosofficial that's awesome! Glad that things are going well
We getting a Oblongs vs The Network soon?
Good video for SpongeBob's 25th anniversary!
Great video, just suggest you turn down the volume of the sound effects for future reference.
Apparently he's wanted in 35 countries for raiding shipping lanes, leaving zero survivors of said raids, and cutting off his own hand to escape the Royal Navy before retiring to the Californian Countryside. But don't quote me on that, watch a DocuDubery video or something.
I used to kinda be like Patchy for a few months or so. It wasn't worth it.
Whats the Name of the Background music
At 6:34
And 7:06
A little upsetting you didn’t mention or bring up the potential theory that Patchy died in the sand and just hallucinated SpongeBob in the 20th anniversary special, but great video nonetheless.
Patchy the Pirate meeting sponge bob ruined the show(tomy kenny even said during a q and a they would never met) them meeting is as bad as if the coyote would catch the road runner
unreleasted to the video's topic but do you think patchy has ever played battle for bikini bottom
I'm like Patchy but with Chainsaw Man. Perhaps I need help. Serious help.
sorry m8 but your toon looks like a very successful defense attorney. Cant watch just becuse of that so sorry m8
