Eric Cartman is by far the most famous of the four foul-mouthed grade-schoolers who inhabit the cardboard-cutout town of South Park on Comedy Central. In fact, he ranked No. 10 on a TV Guide list of the Top 50 cartoon characters of all time...

I know what he would say right now.

“Suck my balls”

I’m too tired to read the interview right now. I’m going to sleep.

Good night.

I remember seeing a thing where Parker said at the start he was supposed to be Stan and Stone was Kyle, but it didn’t take long for them to realize they were both more like Cartman.

I love the call back in Awesome-O where Butter’s parents ask Ms. Cartman if Eric can go on vacation with Butters and she says, “I don’t know, he is still supposed to be grounded for trying to exterminate the Jews two weeks ago.” It shows how he is treated more like the lovable sociopath than anything else.

NPR’s trying to smooth over the Cartman character. You have to wonder why they care one way or the other.

In fact, he ranked No. 10 on a TV Guide list of the Top 50 cartoon characters of all time.

WHAT? Only Number 10 -- ?!?

[samtheman]

Don’t call me friend, buddy!

[Jet Jaguar]

Hey Guy, he’s not your buddy!

[samtheman]

You’re right. I actually flubbed the line.

But that sequence was truly funny. And then when they repeated it at the end, as the head of the WGA (World Canadian Bureau!) floated off into the sea. Really, really funny stuff.

[Jet Jaguar]

I just watched it. Great episode.
