'''The Patrick Show Cashes In'''
'''Original air date''': 7/26/23
The Patrick Show is out of budget for its second season. In a desperate attempt to get more funding, Patrick and Squidina are ready to slap their brand on ''everything'' and sell it to kids.
!!The Patrick Show Cashes In contains examples of:
* AdjacentToThisCompleteBreakfast: Patrick Show Cereal is part of a "complete breakfast" that has an absurd amount of food and would feed a family of four.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: In the cereal commercial, Cecil is dressed as a stereotypical skateboarder kid and Bunny wears a pink flower bonnet and overalls. Patrick outright refers to them as adults dressed as children because they couldn't afford more child actors.
* AllForNothing: At the end, Patrick shreds all the money the family earns from their advertising.
* AnAesop: TV shows aren't about brand recognition, making money, or what you sell to people. [[DoingItForTheArt Just doing something you love that makes people happy is enough.]]
* BitingTheHandHumor: Much of the episode jokes about brand recognition and MisaimedMarketing, showing that companies are willing to slap their brand on ''anything'' to get money out of kids.
* CrossReferencedTitles: The episode's title is a reference to "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS1E21ThePatrickShowSellsOutNeptunesBall The Patrick Show Sells Out]]", another episode dealing with branding and merchandise.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When Patrick sees a man hit by Perch's Bermuda shorts cannon, he dramatically holds him and talks to him as though he's been badly wounded by a gunshot.
* FauxHorrific: Bunny wants to do a HalloweenEpisode about the horrors of dust.
* FreePrizeAtTheBottom: Exaggerated. Patrick makes a cereal that ''only'' consists of toys. Of course, this means you can't actually eat it.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Perch Perkins fights Patrick with a cannon that fires Bermuda shorts.
* IncrediblyLameFun: The kids in the Bobby Babbington toy commercial have fun using it to fill out paperwork. It also comes with its own built-in pen and stapler, which are highlighted as awesome features.
* MediumBlending: When Squidina shows off Patrick's paintings, her arm is a live-action puppet edited in.
* MyLittlePanzer: The Pat the Hapless and Beelzebass toys are equipped with real battle axes and lasers. Much of the Patrick Show merch is similarly dangerous, such as DIY tattoo kits, a uranium playset, and a plush toy with nails sticking out of it.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The episode addresses the Patrick Show in-universe having budget problems and needing to raise money for another season. Cecil and Bunny also suggest their own episode ideas.

'''The Star Games'''
'''Original air date''': 7/27/23
Patrick puts his family through a variety of unexpected and dangerous {{Game Show}}s.
!!The Star Games contains examples of:
* CombiningMecha: The Star family combine parts of a giant robot to fight off a mutant dinosaur-coffee cup hybrid.
* FakeInteractivity: The Star family, minus Patrick, want you to yell at your screen to tell them who should be the host of the game shows for the rest of the episode. Text flashes on the screen telling you to keep screaming and be louder.
* ForWantOfANail: Squidina is challenged to go back in time and cause one ordinary object to be changed in the future: in this case, a coffee cup. She goes to various time periods and tries messing up what she thinks will change coffee cups, but nothing happens... until the cup suddenly mutates into a dinosaur/coffee cup hybrid.
* WayPastTheExpirationDate: Patrick has Cecil and Bunny go on ''Expired'', where they eat disgusting expired food and guess what it was, and when it expired. Both of them guess wrong and end up passing out from the food.
