In the first season, Patrick came across as the bossy guy who THINKS he has the answers, but is actually kinda clueless. So still not smart, but not the complete idiot he is later.
Nah Patrick's a real one. He stood up for him when Neptune didn't want to acknowledge him as the Royal Fry Cook. Getting him into the Salty Spitoon, going back to Rock Bottom for him, helping SpongeBob sell chocolate bars, building a stable for Mystery the seahorse...Patrick is very supportive.

The thing that’s so cool is that squirrels do flips and are really acrobatic and feisty, so her being good at karate isn’t too far fetched. It’s a creative way of giving them their real world aspects a cartoony spin 😭 it’s why I love spongebob so much 😭😭
Cool part is that Hillenburg was studied in marine biology, Most aspects of the characters are based off of what they do in real life. You know that one episode where Mr. Krabs foams at the mouth after he didn't want to pay Sandy to catch the worm? Crabs actually foam at the mouth in some cases.
Sandy whole characterization always feel odd in a goofy way for me; a land squirrel from Texas that wearing spacesuit who happens to be karate-ka and also genius scientist living under water inside a dome? Also, formerly cowboy. That's a big mashed ideas and concept into one, but somehow it just works 😂 when I was a child I never question anything about how nonsensical it was
@@valhatan3907Because they split her traits in a different episode (if its about karate than she will only be showed as a karateka, if its about science than she will only be showed as scientiest
Aside from the mention of a Barnacle Burger (which sounds like a rival restaurant Mr. Krabs would try to sue) and Spongeboy, all the designs and descriptions are pretty much spot on.
He calls him "SpongeBoy, me Bob!" in the Squeaky Boots episode, but apart from that it was always "SpongeBob, me boy!" (unless he went back to "SpongeBoy" in the later seasons...I'm not too familiar with some of the later stuff)
It's crazy how all it takes is for someone to literally give you a chance to do something creative and now look at how big it is. So many people never even get the opportunity or chance to do something they have passion for
I’ve once had a Nickelodeon magazine full of illustrations of early Spongeboy with all these early character sketches including the full crew who made it! My uncle bought that for me from the thrift store and it was the best thing I’ve had in the world, flipping it over and over everyday being so obsessed with it. And one day it was lost I was devastated and never found anything like it again… Good memories!
I kinda miss the Squidward from Help Wanted because he didn’t really hate Spongebob, he just mildly disliked him while the Squidward that I know from later seasons has a BURNING HATRED for Spongebob.
Hey, it's a good thing we're adults now, and can choose to not watch the parts of the cartoon made for children that we don't have any enjoyment for, right? 😊
Plankton are very small! In the earlier episodes, plankton was very very small, before he was sized up just a little It was likely that his design was so simple due to his size
There's something so "genuine" about Stephen's sketches here. The modern artstyle is definitely cleaner, but it seems "corporate" compared to the more humble appearances shown in the video.
This is what i miss about early Patrick. He was a schmuck, and he might have been a little dumb, but he wasnt absolutely brain dead like he becomes later. He actually had some pretty funny and witty lines in the early seasons.
Early Patrick is the same level of dumb as George Costanza. As stupid as the plot wants him to be, but rarely leaving you questioning how he's able to survive on his own.
God I would kill to get an inside look at the very early development of Spongebob, if theres any documentaries out there like this I'd love to hear them. Imagine the conversation about changing the name of the Barnacle Burger to the Krabby Patty.
This is one of those few cases where I'd have to vehemently disagree with that idea. I mean, as a creator myself, I highly doubt there's a fascinating tale behind the name "Barnacle Burger". It was probably just a case of "ooo, y'no what, I like Krabby Patty better"
This is literally Spongebob on paper and it's already interesting because of the mix of characters. A greedy crab, a literal squirrel living undersea, an innocent sponge, a lazy but supportive star, and so on.
I feel like old Mr. Krabs was more of a tight fisted, no nonsense, old man kind of character. He was way more fleshed out, and his cheapness felt more like a product of that ex-navy discipline and the fact he's running a small business by himself. Mr. Krabs now just feels like Drayton Sawyer, just psychotic and obsessed with making money. Just such an awful character nowadays.
@@fem1n1new3nd1go Yeah, like when he sent SpongeBob home because he had the suds. Even tho he was greedy he wasn't a total psychopath. If that episode was written today he'd force SpongeBob to work regardless, probably even use SpongeBob's snot as a new condiment seeing how gross the modern episodes get.
@@Corvus_Corax_2004 Don't forget when Mr. Krabs told SpongeBob to take a break when Bubble Bass destroyed his confidence, making him forget how to make a Krabby Patty. Or when Squidward called him out on trading SpongeBob for two nickels, making him regret his actions and start crying. Speaking of Squidward, he actually did secretly care about SpongeBob. In the Krusty Krab Pizza episode, he shoved him out of the way of a moving truck, and in the same episode, he smashed the pizza on the costumer's face for making SpongeBob cry. As for SpongeBob, he was actually equally strong as Sandy as karate. Not to mention he also had moments of maturity, and wasn't a pushover. Patrick was lazy and a bit dumb, but he still was a likable guy. Sandy had a fun personality, and Mrs. Puff genuinely cared about SpongeBob, even though he got her hospitalized several times. Point is, the old seasons explored their characters, while the modern ones made them flanderized versions of themselves.
Stephen: “Now, here’s who I call Patrick. He’s really lazy, but a good guy.” Team: *writes down notes* 12 Seconds Later Patrick: “Return what to who?” Stephen: “why did you make him dumb”

Can't help but notice, Sandy's description doesn't mention science at all.
I'm guessing that aspect was added to explain how she's able to live underwater.
Science wasn’t really a big part of her character until the fourth season. The only time it was really brought up before then was in Sandy’s Rocket.
