Patrick Star

Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke, and first appeared on television in the series' pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999. Patrick was created and designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg.
Depicted as an overweight, dimwitted pink sea star, Patrick lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom next door to Squidward Tentacles' moai. His most significant character trait is his lack of common sense, which sometimes makes him a negative influence on his best friend, SpongeBob SquarePants. He is unemployed, but on some occasions working at the Krusty Krab, a local fast food restaurant, in a variety of positions.
The character has received positive reactions from critics and fans alike; however, he has been involved in several public controversies, including one centered on speculation over his relationship with SpongeBob. Patrick has been included in various SpongeBob SquarePants-related merchandise, including trading cards, video games, plush toys, and comic books.

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time.

Television is fun, but some TV characters are just the worst. For every beloved character on television, whether it be Mary Tyler Moore of The Mary Tyler Moore Show or everyone&#39;s favorite resident of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrion Lannister, there is an equally and adamantly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-deserved-tv-villain-ends/jack-rogers" target="_blank">disliked character</a> on the tube (hi, Joffrey and Cousin Oliver!!). This list ranks the worst of the worst, including all the most terrible television characters and most hated TV characters of all time.

Yes, it&#39;s true that not everyone is going to like every character on a show, just as not everyone will like every person in real life. However, you will find that there are some characters that are so universally detested by everyone that no one bats an eye when they learn they&#39;re near the top of this list of awful TV characters.&nbsp;Have you ever stopped watching a show simply because one character annoyed you so much? This is a list about those guys and gals.

The list includes some of the most vile TV characters. They aren&#39;t necessarily vile because they are bad or evil, but simply because every time they come on the screen, you wish they&#39;d just go away. &nbsp;In other words, they&#39;re not characters you &quot;love to hate,&quot; they&#39;re unpopular, disliked characters you just absolutely can&#39;t stand.

Nintendo Switch

With&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;officially announced for the Nintendo Switch, fans of the series wasted no time in predicting which characters will be in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;for the Nintendo Switch.&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;character predictions get harder and harder with each title as Nintendo breaks free of the original &quot;Nintendo-only&quot; rule for the roster. Furthermore, each passing year adds what feels like another 10 classic characters to the Nintendo canon, only further complicating character predictions for Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;By the time the series reached 15 years of age, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-super-smash-brothers-4-characters/ranker-games" target="_blank">character roster in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;4</a>&nbsp;featured dozens your favorite standard&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;characters alongside third-party characters like Bayonetta and Cloud Strife. Since the series no longer restricts third-party characters, and there's a wealth of Nintendo characters that have yet to make a&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;appearance, the sky is basically the limit when it comes to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;roster&nbsp;predictions.&nbsp;That being said, which characters should appear in Super Smash Bros. Switch? Some of the most popular roster predictions for&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;include&nbsp;Waluigi, Shovel Knight, Rayman, and Amaterasu. Other Smash Bros.&nbsp;predictions speculated on the return of previously cut characters such as Squirtle, Dr. Mario, and of course, third-party characters. Will&nbsp;Solid Snake return to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.? Would Okami in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;be the right choice? The answer to both questions, hopefully, is yes, but no one will know until the game gets released. When it does, expect it to impact harder than Kirby's DOWN+B.

The 1990s brought a wave of amazing, unforgettable programming designed specifically for kids. Let's rank 'em.

'90s TV for Kids

Animated Characters

The 1990s was a time when all types of cartoons were introduced to the general public and thrived within the the realm of pop culture. 90s cartoon characters are some of the most beloved of all time and certainly some of the most iconic. Characters range from more mature characters like Homer Simpson to Beavis and Butthead to classic children's cartoon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Blue, Rocko, and Doug Funnie.During the '90s, mature cartoons started to become popular with many teens and young adults. Mike Judge was at the forefront of this movement creating the aforementioned Beavis and Butthead TV show along with King of the Hill, whose main character Hank Hill can be seen on this list. These famous cartoons are the forefathers to characters like Peter Griffin, Stan Smith and the rest of the Seth MacFarlane universe. The same goes for the Nickelodeon cartoons of the same time period.Anyone can contribute to this list of who the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cartoon-characters-on-tv/greg-hahn?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best cartoon characters</a> of the '90s is, which makes this ranking an accurate, real-time reflection of the crowd's collective opinion.If you have a favorite–boy or girl, blue, green, black, or yellow– that is not on the list, be sure to add it. It can be disputed that the '90s was the best time for edgy cartoon characters and this Ultimate List sets out to settle the dispute over who was the best character of that time.

When a television show first starts, the writers of the program already have the star in mind. They write for the characters they think the audience will relate to and like the most and design the show around those characters. However, once the show hits the airwaves, the viewers don&rsquo;t always agree. Sometimes the true star of the show is the unlikeliest candidate. The breakout character is usually a character who was introduced as part of the supporting cast, but for one reason or another became a fan favorite. This list of the greatest breakout characters in TV history includes characters from both comedies and dramas and has been ranked by the community.

The breakout character on a TV show usually becomes the most discussed and most loved part of the show. He or she has the funniest lines, the best stories, and is portrayed by the favorite actor. After a positive audience reaction, these breakout characters suddenly start to get more screen time and story lines. Characters like <a href="https://groovyhistory.com/aaay-fonzie-happy-days-stories" target="_blank">Fonzie</a> and Ben Linus were never meant to be huge parts of their shows, but after their introduction, it was inevitable that they&rsquo;d become pivotal to the show&rsquo;s success. Some breakout characters, like Frasier Crane, even go on to star in their own series.

Is Gromit from Wallace and Gromit the coolest dog sidekick on our list, or is it Jake from Adventure Time? Scooby Doo himself has his own stoner sidekick, Shaggy, but is Garth Algar from Wayne’s World a better loadie sidekick? When the rubber meets the road, there’s no better brother in arms than James &quot;Rhodey&quot; Rhodes from Iron Man... unless it’s Nick “Goose” Bradshaw from Top Gun, or Chewie from <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-characters-in-the-star-wars-universe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Star Wars</a>.

Some of our favorite shows/films have something terrible in common... a little kid that, we assume, was put in to add vulnerability or some &quot;cute&quot; or &quot;comic&quot; element... or maybe just to give us something to hate unabashedly. No matter how you look at it, these kids are more annoying than what the writer could have ever anticipated when he or she created them. This isn't to say that they're entirely awful. At first their act isn't terrible, in fact it could be perceived as some as even a bit funny. However, over time that acts wears thin and when it happens, it goes fast.For better or worse, some of the most annoying kid characters have been on shows with other kids who not only weren't irritating, but were really likable. Steve Urkel singlehandedly hijacked the narrative of Family Matters from being around a family to revolving around his futile attempt to win over Laura Winslow. Star Wars fans have different opinions on many aspects on the film series, but the one thing that unites them all is their mutual annoyance of the whiny Anakin Skywalker. Of all kid movie characters, the young Anakin is easily one of the most despised and his role in the Phantom Mennce had fans clamoring for his eventual conversion to Darth Vader.These are the most annoying kid characters ever put to screen big or small. Vote for your most hated, and add any that are missing! After you're done, head over and vote on the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-annoying-tv-and-film-characters-ever?ref=collections&amp;l=2209186&amp;collectionId=1296" target="_blank">most annoying TV and film characters</a> of all time!

List of the greatest talking animals in television history, as ranked by television critics, historians, and fans. Throughout the years, television has seen its fair share of speaking animal characters, each with their own personalities as unique as they would be if they were human characters. These characters come in all sorts of species, from a household dog to moose that stands on two legs. Although a vast majority of these characters are animated, there are a few which are live action. The live action talking animals, such as Mister Ed or the storytelling dog Wishbone, are impressive because the show runners needed to use a mix of real, cooperative animals, voice actors, and special effects. While many of the TV talking animal characters on this list speak and act as if they were human beings, a few talk with speech impediments and act very much like animals, such as Scooby Doo. Characters like Brian Griffin from Family Guy act completely like humans in animal suits, while characters like Winnie the Pooh act completely within their animal’s nature.Who are television’s best talking animals? This list features a wide array of animals who talk from generations of television, made by live action and cartoon creators alike.

Gendered clothing is an age-old concept, but thanks to the global phenomenon of&nbsp;RuPaul&#39;s Drag Race -&nbsp;and an overall increase in LGBTQ cultural visibility&nbsp;-&nbsp;the notion of subverting those clothing norms has&nbsp;rapidly expanded within the mainstream like never before.&nbsp;Impersonating another gender&nbsp;is a <a href="http://time.com/5188791/rupauls-drag-race-history/" target="_blank">key&nbsp;cornerstone of queer culture</a>&nbsp;- drag is not only a high art form&nbsp;but is also a valuable tool for dismantling&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/third-genders-around-the-world/rachel-souerbry" target="_blank">gender binary</a>.&nbsp;Outside&nbsp;of these circles, however, drag and gender-bending&nbsp;attire have never been taken particularly&nbsp;seriously.
