Patchy the Pirate

 Patchy the Pirate''' is a live-action character appearing in many SpongeBob SquarePants specials and major events, as the "host" of these. He is the president of the SpongeBob SquarePants Fan Club and is portrayed by SpongeBob's voice actor, Tom Kenny.

He resides in a small home in Encino, California. His bedroom is filled with SpongeBob themed items such as plush toys, collectibles, bedspreads, and pillows. He also wears SpongeBob underwear. He has a pet parrot, Potty, a string puppet whose strings are clearly shown and is known for poorly being controlled by the puppeteer. They tend to not get along, such as in Ugh where they fight over whether prehistory or the future is better. His next door neighbor, an elderly woman named Mrs. Johnson, has been known to make cookies for him, and he requests they be put in a doggy bag. He says he became president of the fan club by electing himself and accepting graciously.

Appearance
Patchy is a stereotypical, intentionally corny pirate character. He has an eyepatch and hook, which he frequently switches between eyes/hands. Patchy also has a black beard and wears a hat and other pirate accessories. In The Sponge Who Could Fly, it is inferred that he must remove his hook and peg leg in order to take a shower. Patchy even has a spare foot, for when he goes outside. He is able to recover from virtually any injury, including being shot out of a cannon and being bit by a dinosaur. While normally friendly, Patchy is easily angered, especially by Potty.
