The Patrick Star Show does not star Patrick Star,
at least not the Patrick Star you recognize from here...
Who me?
...or even here.
This Patrick Star lives in a world of chaos,
a world where dinosaurs roam the earth,
and SpongeBob is a monster.
I'm home!
And all of it was set off by a single clumsy mistake.
There's more than one universe in Bikini Bottom.
In SpongeBob, we've already established
that character's can travel through both time and universes.
First, Squidward going forward and backward in time...
I'd better go to... the past.
And later, Plankton uses the Transmogrifier
to actually visit an alternate universe.
The Life Switcher was a success. The Krusty Krab is mine!
And if there's one thing I've learned
from every time travel story, it's that once you do it,
the space time continuum never really goes back to normal,
but back to Patrick.
In the Patrick Star Show, he is much younger,
somewhere between here...
Hello.
...and here.
What?
He's living with his Mom, Dad, sister Squidina,
Grandpa and pet, Ouchie.
[whistling]
Patrick and Squidina produce a talk show
that rarely goes as planned.
It gets delayed by stare stand offs,
couch spelunking, and even a weird smell or two.
Where is that freaky funky smell coming from?
But what you'll notice throughout
is that Patrick's house is stranger than you'd expect.
Part one.
Let's start with his bedroom door.
Open it once and you'll get an angry knight
sprinting toward you.
[screaming]
Oops, wrong door.
Open it again... and it's the cold vacuum of space.
[grunting]
Wrong door again?!
And a third time... it's just a normal door.
[snapping] Hmm.
Now that's enough evidence right there.
Seriously, a portal to another dimension
pretty much puts a bow on my multiverse theory.
But hold your applause because, of course,
I've barely even started.
In one episode, Patrick ends up diving deep
into his couch cushions looking for a lost remote.
Whoa. This place is a goldmine.
And what usually might be an opportunity
to find some loose change,
for Patrick, it's a wormhole
to a completely couch based world
so massive, he needs a rope to find his way back out.
We're safe. [screaming]
I was wrong.
Seriously, flying sock monsters are pretty weird,
even by SpongeBob standards.
But it's not only Patrick's couch that does this,
as all furniture seems to be connected
to this strange alternate universe.
It's so normal that there's even commercials
for tours through your own furniture.
Imagine eight luxurious days seeing your couch,
your love seat, even your credenza
like you've never seen them before.
But let's bring it back for a minute
because there aren't only multiple worlds
but also... multiple Patricks.
Part two.
In this scene, Patrick falls off a bookshelf
and is caught by none other than... himself?
Don't worry me, I've got ya! Ooh.
There I go.
Glad I bought that self help book.
Now multiple Patricks is nothing new.
Some of his clones might even still be working
at the chum bucket.
[everyone] Hey, I'm Patrick.
But this one is clearly different.
He emerges from a book that's much smaller than he is.
And for the first time,
both Patricks know they're the same.
Listen again and see if you can hear what I mean.
Don't worry me, I've got ya. Ooh.
There I go.
Even if Book Patrick was some kind of clone,
he would never call the real one I and me,
unless, of course,
they're actually the same Patrick
in two places at once.
The Patrick Star Show universe is a weird place,
but it gets even weirder because in a different scene,
we see a different stock motion version of Patrick,
where he now works for Plankenstein
and has apparently helped build
a monster version of SpongeBob.
Release the whirly brains!
[laughing]
The weirdest thing though, is that they're also watching
the same Patrick Star Show that we are.
That show is made by idiots for morons.
That's why I love it.
The only way they could possibly do that
is if they're in an alternate universe
that intersects just enough to allow TV broadcast through.
If you're still not convinced
than this final piece of evidence
will change your mind.
Gotcha! [screaming]
But to do that, we'll need to rewind
a bit to the Kamp Koral era.
Part three:
In this episode or universe as I'll demonstrate,
SpongeBob had discovered the Krabby Patty formula
much earlier than expected.
Say, could you tell me what the ingredients
for these patties are?
Oh, sorry, Mr. Plankton,
I can never remember things like that.
Barnacles!
That's why I wrote 'em down on this list.
You know, kind of like a... formula.
So, Sandy hatched a plan to put it back to normal.
This is Little Cheeks calling Big Cheeks.
Come in, Big Cheeks. Over.
Affirmative Little Cheeks, this is Big Cheeks
receiving you from the future.
How are things going in the past?
[giggling] They're going great, Sandy.
Your plan worked perfectly.
The formula burned up
before Mr. Plankton could nab it.
Now, it can be safely rediscovered in the future.
[sighing]
Mission accomplished. Timeline preserved.
Now everything can continue just the way it's always been.
While Sandy may think she's talking to her past self,
she's actually talking to an alternate version
from a different timeline.
Infinite timelines, infinite universes.
That's the only way they could possibly have
a conversation with each other without, you know,
the unraveling of space and time as we know it.
And on top of that,
their worlds don't even look the same.
How could Sandy grow up in 3D
but then go back to 2D as an adult?
I don't know about you,
but dimensions don't usually change like.
Hi, Squidward.
Okay, maybe it happens sometimes.
But one question still remains.
How did SpongeBob come up
with the Krabby Patty formula in the first place?
[grumbling]
Because in that universe, he was supposed to.
SpongeBob, you idiot, you're a genius!
I am?
The whole reason Sandy crossed universes
was to the clean up the timeline,
but instead she destructed the course
of an entire other universe.
Guess we'll just have to wait to see how that plays out.
Now, you could write these examples off
as just part of the world of Bikini Bottom.
But that doesn't answer the question
of why they're part of the Bikini Bottom.
And I bet you're also asking who damaged
the space time continuum, so massive, so entirely,
that it caused multiple timelines
to get crossed, tied up and merged into one single show.
Well, that my friends, I have an answer to
and it all falls on Squidward. That's right.
When he broke the time machine way back in Episode 14...
Uh-oh.
...it let Plankton travel to a parallel universe,
Sandy to permanently alter another,
and ultimately allowed the Patrick Star Show to exist.
Without that, none of this would even be possible.
Patrick Star Show is a perfect example
of what happens when timelines
and universes get mixed together.
And as time moves forward, I can only imagine
how much stranger this universe will become.
But I guess I'm grateful to Squidward because in a way
he gave us some really fun new SpongeBob shows.
And if you ever notice something strange within a show
that might not make total sense,
just know, you can thank Squidward for it.
[clearing throat] I'll collect my money now.
Thank you, guys. Thank you all so much for watching
And if I see anything else strange in Bikini Bottom,
you'll be the first to know. Just make sure you tune in.
