After watching the episode
SpongeBob, You're Fired
, we learned (well, we knew from Day 1 from the 1st season so it's no surprise) that Patrick is unemployed and he likes it. Though, in previous episodes, he's been employed by the Chum Bucket twice (In the
Fry Cook Games
for 5 minutes and
Chum Bucket Supreme
for coming up with the "Chum is Fum" slogan).
However, in previous seasons, specials, and the SpongeBob movie, we see Patrick buy food like Ice Cream, Krabby Patties, popcorn, donuts, etc;.but how does he even buy all that? More so, how does he pay his cable bill and mortgage for his rock?
Anyone know how? -

I'm going to assume that Patrick's seeming idiocy is actually a clever facade to evade working. Fooling the government, he is granted disability payment and gets an undisclosed amount of funds to afford everyday necessities.

Patrick is actually super smart. Remember when he asked Spongebob how they could start fires underwater? Sometimes his genius IQ cracks through the surface. Either way he must be living on some sort of government assistance or welfare

Correction, he USED to be smart. If you've watched the newer ones (e.g. "Pet Sitter Pat") you'd see that he's now the kind of character that Homer Simpson at his dumbest would look at and say:
"Wow, that guy's a moron!"
Favourite movie of all time: "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" -

Government Assistance? Are you people effing serious? Pay attention now: It. Is. A. CARTOON. A children's cartoon. You have to suspend belief. How is there a beach under the sea? How does a crab have a whale for a daughter? How does a computerized "wife" operate in salt water? It's a beep cartoon. That's the answer. To all of it. It's a cartoon.
Wow, seriously? -

(in a good tone of voice, good way):shut up Rweber108. WE all know that. Its just a fun guessing game. I personally think he has welfare and is autistic like me. That's my answer.
Don't take what people are saying so seriously! It's all in good fun
Answer: bigdirtracingfan is simple, As an autistic Caucasian 22 yr old male, I kinda get that way.
