Trivia
General
- According to Arielle Phillips, a storyboard artist on the series (formerly the main show and currently The Patrick Star Show), Gabe hides video game easter eggs in his episodes, which she loves to look for.[2] This can be seen in the episodes "Patrick's Prison Pals," where Patrick makes a move similar to King K. Rool's in Super Smash Bros.,[3] "Now Museum, Now You Don't" where the "security breach" sign references Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach[4], and in "Star Cruise" when Patrick mistakes the ship's weapon controls for a video game and plays it.
