Knowledge can never replace friendship. I prefer to be an idiot!

~ Patrick in Patrick SmartPants.
Patrick Star is a conspiracy theory target just like his best friend, SpongeBob. Conspiracy theories depict him as just as evil, if not even more so. Patrick, according to these conspiracy theories, can be either dumb to the point of making Cheese from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends look like Albert Einstein, to being practically the biggest smart Alec.
Listed below are some of the prime examples of what brings people to such conclusions:
In Tea at the Treedome, he almost leads SpongeBob to being dehydrated and dying in Sandy's tree dome.
In Sandy's Rocket, he and SpongeBob hijack Sandy's spacecraft solely to aggravate her and even trap her in a net, alongside everyone else in Bikini Bottom.
In Suds, he was impersonating a doctor and put SpongeBob in harm's way under his "care". He even tried to stop Sandy from taking him to the real doctor.
In Valentine's Day, he destroys the entire pier boardwalk all because of SpongeBob failing to get him a gift.
In Dumped, he tries to steal Gary from SpongeBob.
In Pressure, he, SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward make fun of Sandy and almost cause her to drown by removing her helmet only to show sea creature supremacy.
In I'm with Stupid, he humiliates SpongeBob in front of his "parents" only for them to improve their opinion on him.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, he tries to reduce the number of days that he and SpongeBob could retrieve King Neptune's crown.
Countless examples in both seasons 4-9 as well as fanfiction.
