Not strange magic, my friend; deliberate avoidance. I shall continue to fight the good fight, a guerrilla warrior in the jungles!

It's easy for me to avoid. I can only see it in Irish and I don't understand a word of it.

No offense PK, but you were looking WAAAAAY too deep into this.

There is a test. It's called the Mikey Test. Ciro talked about it during an interview with the ShellShocked podcast team. I know...because I was there.

As for is Mike as dumb as Patrick...I said maybe. If this is the stuff that gets past the Mikey Test, I can only recoil in horror at what might have not passed.

Also...starfish have no brain.

I know about that test. But I wasn't talking about it. I was talking about the Mikey vs. Patrick commercial on Nick.

And yet you said there was no test. Curious.
Carry on.

I said there was no test because PK seriously believed Nick was comparing the IQs of Mikey to Patrick Star when it was obviously a joke during the commercial.

Put down the ax. Stop the grindstone. That's not what they said at all.

I voted for "This thread is stupid, PK." No, Mikey is definitely not as dumb as Patrick. Yes, he does make mistakes and can lose focus, but as others have said, when he does do something good, it works.

I see youth, naivety, instinct and inexperience in Mike.

Throw a 14 year old into the world the turtles deal with after being 100% sheltered and I feel you'd get a similar result.

Mike is used for comic relief and I appreciate that. He's shown intelligence on several occasions but maybe his brain doesn't work on the same level as "typical" thought - he's forgetful and can't seem to process plans with multiple steps (Almost as though "Who cares about thinking that far ahead?"), but more than once he's come through on intelligence and instinct. I think he has a lot more focus than the show likes to showcase. We see his derpy moments in a lot of light while his focused moments aren't the center of attention.

I like Mike because the charm of his character has always been "Goofy with a side of Kickass". Fighting isn't his natural instinct, but he takes care of business when need be.

Patrick Star isn't even a legitimate character, in my opinion. SpongeBob isn't even a legitimate show. The SpongeBob experience as a whole is brain dead in itself and really doesn't offer anything worth comparison.
