William Fagerbakke did the voice of Patrick. When my kids were all into spongebob, I heard the voice and I recognized it from the old sitcom, “Coach”. He was Dauber in that show.
“Coach” is also where I first heard the voice of Patrick. Fagerbakke played football in college and turned to theater after a career-ending knee injury.
A few NFL games have been broadcast on Nick over the past few seasons. There was one game where Fagerbakke was broadcasting as Patrick and he made a great comment (after Russel Wilson threw an interception) that got rave reviews.
Recognizing a good thing - and with the NFL realizing they cheesed off their fans and threw away money with the kneeling nonsense - this past Super Bowl was broadcast on Nick with Fagerbakke providing color commentary. It was great, and Fagerbakke/“Parruck” was a zillion times better than the awful and utterly-detestable Joe Buck.
Patrick, NOT “Parruck”
That was like SpringBoob SquirePin.
