A profile from "South Park"

"South Park" Cartman

"South Park" Cartman

South Park Studios
Eric is the "fat kid" and the other kids constantly make fun of him because of his weight. He's also the stupid one who mixes things up and makes himself look like an idiot. He lives with his hermaphrodite mother who tries to make him feel better by feeding him "chocolate chicken pot pies" and "Cheesy Poofs".

Eric owns a cat called Kitty and a pig named Fluffy. Throughout the year he searched to find out who his father was, only to realize that his mother was his father and his mother is unknown. When Officer Barbrady is fired for his illiteracy, he becomes Deputy Cartman, and he begins to enforce the law in South Park.

Eric Cartman's catch phrases include

  • "Screw you guys. I'm going home."
  • "I want Cheesy Poofs!"
  • "Sweet!"
and various expletives.
