History YMMV / ThePatrickStarShow

* UncertainAudience: ''The Patrick Star Show'' is a ZanyCartoon aimed at a very young audience, premiering on Nickelodeon in the 2020s. However, a lot of jokes are references to things like telemarketing scams, infomercials, and shows like ''Series/NightGallery'', ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'', and ''Series/MasterpieceTheater''. It also contains dated parodies of celebrities like Huell Howser and Peter Lorre, so it's not something kids will really understand.

* TheScrappy: Slappy, a recurring character. He's Patrick's StalkerWithACrush (such as wanting to dance with him, watching him through the window and hoping that he fails), acts and looks incredibly creepy, and shows up a lot for no reason despite not being funny.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Even moreso than ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral''; to say that many fans of the original ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' refuse to acknowledge this series is a colossal understatement, the biggest complaint being that its wackiness and [[GrossOutShow gross-out humor]] (themselves already controversial in the modern seasons) are exaggerated, as well as focusing on an already-divisive ComicRelief character (which had previously been attempted by the ill-fated ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'').

* TaintedByThePreview: By virtue of even being announced, the show got this reception. Largely because it supposedly disrespected Stephen Hillenburg's wishes for the ''[=SpongeBob=]'' franchise not to have any spin-offs[[note]]Although we'll never know his exact thoughts on this show, Hillenburg stated in a 2009 interview that he didn't see any spin-offs happening, and [[https://longreads.com/2019/08/13/the-young-man-and-the-sea-sponge/amp/ Paul Tibbitt said]] that Hillenburg often joked, "You know, one of these days, they're going to want to make ''[=SpongeBob=] Babies''. That's when I'm out of here." Hillenburg also mentioned in the aforementioned interview that he saw Patrick by himself as "a bit too much".[[/note]] which Nickelodeon quickly put into production. But likewise because Patrick is such a divisive character in the fanbase (some love his antics, but many likewise aren't fond of his oblivious jerk-ish moments) and don't believe he can really carry a show on his own without compromising his character from ''[=SpongeBob=]''. Likewise it also drummed up bad memories of ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', another spin-off centered around a ComicRelief character, that didn't last long.[[note]]Though unlike this show, it was something [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius its source material]]'s creators wanted to do.[[/note]] Some were at least willing to give it a chance, but the preview trailer got a lukewarm reception at best.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Squidina as Patrick's sister. On ''[=SpongeBob=]'', Squidina had two appearances: as one of Sandy's scouts in "Goons on the Moon", and a Goofy Goober employee in "The Goofy Newbie" (where she doesn't seem to recognize Patrick). Her sudden promotion to the main cast was very unexpected.

* BrokenBase: The series itself. Inane drivel that tries to cash in on strange, "bizarre" cartoons or adding something new to the table?

* FanonDiscontinuity: Even moreso than ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral''; to say that many fans of the original ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' refuse to acknowledge this series is a colossal understatement, the biggest complaint being that its wackiness and [[GrossOutShow gross-out humor]] (themselves already controversial in the modern seasons) are turned exaggerated, as well as focusing on an already-divisive ComicRelief character (which had previously been attempted by the ill-fated ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'').

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Vincent Waller's [[https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/1367535809830608898 explanation]] for replacing Herb and Margie with Bunny and Cecil because the former were boring characters who only worked for that one ''[=SpongeBob=]'' episode did not stifle much, if any, dislike for the latter. Many felt that the spin-off could've been a great opportunity to flesh out Herb and Margie's personalities.
