Even though the show is named after his BFF Spongebob, let's be real: Patrick is the real "star" -- literally and figuratively. Goofy, loyal, bumbling -- he steals the show and our hearts, obviously.

Why do we love "SpongeBob SquarePants" star Patrick so much? He just gets us. Here are all the reasons why:

He calls out pretentious jerks when necessary

He's a total groove machine on the dance floor

He finds humor in the little things

He appreciates breakfast foods as much as you do

Actually, he appreciates all food as much as you do

He knows how to drive

He's basically you at every sporting event

He'll never judge you for late-night snacking, if that's what you're into

He knows a lot about music

He's an amazing poet

He's kind of a badass

He's basically you leaving work on a Friday

Sorry, this level of slayage just deserves another gif
