'''Bubble Bass Reviews'''

'''Original air date''': 7/24/2023

Bubble Bass offers a bunch of [[CausticCritic scathing, pedantic, and pathetic]] criticism towards Patrick's show. When Patrick and Squidina find out about his review, they're not going to let it slide...

!!Bubble Bass Reviews contains examples of:

* AffectionateParody: The episode is styled after the videos of many Website/YouTube CriticsAndReviewers. Bubble Bass's uniform resembles that of the WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, and his AuthorAvatar is drawn in a simpler, {{Animesque}} style akin to that of WebVideo/PieGuyRulz.
* BasementDweller: Bubble Bass lives in his mom's basement and spends so much time there that he hasn't seen natural light in twelve weeks. When he does go outside, a few beams of sunlight make him immediately burst into flames.
* CausticCritic: Bubble Bass spends the entirety of his show screaming over how bad the Patrick Show is, that Patrick and Squidina should be thrown in jail for making it, and that it's the worst show on television.
* EmbarrassingSlide: When Bubble Bass is trying to pull up a window with a clip of the Patrick Show, he accidentally reveals his desktop wallpaper, which has an {{Animesque}} drawing of a catgirl on it. He hurriedly covers it up.
-->'''Bubble Bass''': Huh?! Wait, uh, you're not supposed to see this!
* FatSlob: Heavily exemplified with a montage of Bubble Bass covered in food stains as he reviews stuff on his show. According to Patrick, this has happened over 500 times.
* GrossUpCloseUp: A very detailed shot of Bubble Bass's gross face is shown as he says that he hopes someone got fired for putting fire underwater.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Bubble Bass declares that Patrick's audience is pathetic. At least Patrick ''has'' an audience; Bubble Bass addresses some action figures as his viewers and even puts on a voice for one to compliment him.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: When Mama Bass calls her son's outfit (which resembles WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic) a "costume", he insists that it's a ''uniform'' and he's making art.
* SelfFanservice[[invoked]]: Bubble Bass's avatar on his shows him as skinny, as opposed to the FatBastard he is in real life.
* StylisticSuck: Bubble Bass's show has oversaturated colors, shaky camerawork, and incredibly low production values. His criticism is also completely worthless, since he spends most of it complaining about things that most people will either never notice or not care about.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Patrick and Squidina respond to Bubble Bass's harsh review by making a series reviewing ''his'' show. In the process, they make a bunch of jokes showing off how slobby and pathetic he is. Bubble Bass runs away screaming from it.

'''Patrick's Prison Pals'''

'''Original air date''': 7/25/2023

When Patrick goes to Bunny's prison for Bring Your Kid to Work Day, a prisoner switches places with him. However, the prisoner soon learns that hanging out with Patrick's family might be ''worse'' than jail.

!!Patrick's Prison Pals contains examples of:

* ExtremeOmnivore: Patrick impresses the prisoners by eating over 100 cafeteria trays in one sitting.
* PaperThinDisguise: Nobody can tell a muscular criminal from Patrick. Subverted in Squidina's case; while she calls him Patrick at first, she says it's obvious that the criminal isn't Patrick. She just needs someone to do Patrick's show, and he's the closest thing to Patrick they have right now.
* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: Sockeye switches places with Patrick and thinks he'll have it easy. However, the bizarre structure of Patrick's house, his family's BizarreTasteInFood, and [[StalkerWithACrush Slappy]] send Sockeye tunneling right ''back'' to prison.
* PrisonEpisode: The episode's subplot revolves around Patrick in jail, slowly winning over all the criminals with his antics.
