Driven to Tears is a low infamous episode[1] of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, Patrick gets his driver's license and rubs it in SpongeBob's face, making SpongeBob jealous.
Why It Drives Us To Tears[]
Patrick just had to act like his jerky self again, firstly, he eats SpongeBob's cards that had the answers on them, next, he rubs his license in his face, then not only makes things worse for SpongeBob, but shows his hypocritical side by telling him to stop making noise even though HE'S making all the noise then stupidly accuses SpongeBob for stalking him when he forgot that SpongeBob knew about his license. He even embarrassed SpongeBob in front of his parents. Even Mr. Krabs made it worse for him, who knows if SpongeBob will be able to make Krabby Patties AND serve customers without the stress they will have in Drive Thru. He clearly makes SpongeBob jealous throughout pretty much the entire episode such as running past three red lights ignoring how dangerous it is and abusivly rubs his license on SpongeBob. He also became a complete idiot who overreacted by driving reckless just because he lost his license and got SpongeBob arrested for him just because the latter was mistaken for a litterbug, despite all of his illegal reckless driving. SpongeBob should really dump his so-called "friend".
And we all thought Rule of Dumb is bad enough.
