Patrick Star is the pink starfish best friend of SpongeBob SquarePants in the Nickelodeon cartoon that began in 1999, and his loud, clueless reactions have become a separate meme language online. Short clips of Patrick shouting, crying or panicking are cut out of episodes and reused on TikTok, YouTube and messaging apps as instant reactions. This extended scream version circulates in soundboard collections alongside the spongebob sad song and other Bikini Bottom clips, because one exaggerated Patrick noise can replace a whole explanation for shock, fear or comic meltdown.
