* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The in-universe theme song for ''The Patrick Show'' is sung entirely by Patrick.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Patrick's parents leave for work, Bunny doesn't appear for the rest of the episode. What makes this weirder is that we ''do'' see Cecil coming home from work, and that sets up a conflict later.

Patrick misses breakfast, so he holds his own cooking show.

to:

In the series {{pilot}}, Patrick misses breakfast, so breakfast and goes around the house trying to find something to eat. When that doesn't work, he holds makes something on his own cooking show.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Being the pilot episode, some things hadn't entirely been ironed out yet.
** This episode's RandomEventsPlot nature is unusual compared to the rest, which -- as silly as the premises get -- usually don't have as many disconnected scenes as this one.
** The episode repeatedly says that Patrick's show is imaginary; it's the subject of a song, Squidina sums up her phone calls with "they said their imaginary people are going to call my imaginary people", and it's specifically said she called on a toy telephone. And rather than seeing Patrick's song, an unfortunate passerby only witnesses Patrick rubbing his butt against the TV screen. Similarly, Bunny even questions if she was able to see Patrick's show. Later episodes would establish that the Patrick Show is ''very'' real.
** Throughout the episode, Bunny and Cecil repeatedly forget who Patrick is, and none of them can remember [=GrandPat=]. This would be dropped afterwards.
** Patrick's bedroom door keeps taking him to other places by accident. This never happens again, with the door later changing destinations only at Patrick's request.
** The Cave Patrick segments have their own ArtShift like the others; they have LineBoil and a more washed out color scheme. Later episodes would have them animated normally.



* FreezeFrameBonus: The rapidly scrolling credits for Patrick's show include a lot of {{Punny Name}}s, parodies of people who worked on the show, and nonsensical disclaimers.



* NoodleIncident: Squidina recaps everything that's happened on the show, including a hula number with a cast of thousands, which we didn't get to see. Patrick waves goodbye to the exiting hula dancers, noting to the viewers that [[LampshadeHanging he doesn't remember that part]].



* PetTheDog: Even though he's hungry, Patrick refuses to eat the Dartfish Family's offering of food because they'd starve otherwise.
