Patchy segments. the viewers are constantly reminded that Potty is a puppet, almost as if it was a small running gag in the show. Patchy once broke their friendship because Potty does not support him, as seen in "Friend or Foe". Potty seems to love any genres of music he can dance to, such as rap or heavy metal. He's voiced by SpongeBob's creator, Stephen Hillenburg and Paul Tibbitt (Season 5).

Character biography

As Patchy's pet

Potty is usually torturing Patchy. Patchy constantly is annoyed by Potty, though Potty has all the good ideas. Potty would usually say "Squawk!" which bothers Patchy, almost as if Patchy didn't know it was a common noise made by parrot.

Running Gag

There have been a few instances where the viewer seems to be reminded that Potty is a puppet. Mysteriously, Potty is usually back to normal in only a few minutes. A few of these reminders are seen below:

• In "Christmas Who?," Patchy the pirate cuts the strings that Potty is attached to.
• In that same episode, Patchy also pulls on the strings, causing what seems to be Potty's puppeteer falling from the ceiling.
• Again, in the same episode, Potty had eaten so much food batter that his entire body fell from the weight, leaving only his head attached.
• In the end of special segment entitled "Patchy's Pick," Potty is blown up by dynamite, which again causes his whole body to fall, including his head.
• In every Potty appearance, you can clearly see the puppet strings that he is attached to.
