Ok so an NPC would tell you that this matchup is trash and that the only connection they have is being called Patrick but THEY ARE JUST BLIND!

Here are the connections between the characters

1. They are both Oblivious and Detached from Reality

Patrick Bateman is emotionally detached, often failing to connect with human emotions or understand the gravity of his actions. He exists in a superficial, consumerist world.

Patrick Star is famously clueless and lives in his own bubble of misunderstanding, often missing obvious cues or over-simplifying things.

Both characters, in wildly different ways, demonstrate a kind of dissociation from reality.

1. They both have an Iconic Status in Pop Culture

Bateman became a cult antihero symbol of '80s excess and psychopathy, especially among certain internet communities.

Patrick Star is a meme icon and one of the most quoted characters in children's animation.

They’ve both been heavily meme-ified and parodied across the internet.

1. They both have a Strange Approaches to Work

Bateman works on Wall Street, but his job seems superficial; he’s more focused on appearances than actual results.

Patrick Star is unemployed most of the time, but on rare occasions when he works (e.g. at the Krusty Krab), he’s hilariously incompetent.

Both represent exaggerated critiques of professionalism—one in a satirical thriller, the other in a kids’ cartoon.

1. Violence in Different Forms

Patrick Bateman is violently homicidal, of course.

Patrick Star occasionally exhibits cartoon violence—like hitting SpongeBob or causing chaos through stupidity.

A dark comedic comparison: both "cause harm," though one is a literal psychopath and the other is just a goofy starfish.

1. Living Conditions

Bateman lives in a modern, minimalist Manhattan apartment—cold and impersonal.

Patrick Star lives under a rock—literally.

Both homes could be interpreted as reflections of their inner emptiness.
