    I was surprised to find out that Patchy the Pirate is pretty hated, which is what inspired this thread.

      I didn’t like those bits as a kid, but I do find them nostalgic now

      I didn’t know people hated it either

      I had to look him up. I know the character (live-action pirate from SpongeBob SquarePants), but I didn’t know he had a name. I was barely an adult when that show started airing, so I haven’t seen much of it.

      I also found out that the actor who voices SpongeBob plays Patchy. Had no clue it was the same guy. I’ve never heard of any hatred for Patchy, though. Is there any reason in particular people hate him? Or is it just “enough with the live-action; let’s get back to my cartoons!” mentality?

        Some people found him and his segments annoying. I thought they were fun and iconic.
