In his pain, the Captain accidentally sets the boat to rise up in the water, which cracks it half and causing it to sink, killing everyone on board. Determining which of the two characters has a bigger kill count comes down to what one considers applicable to that number.
In terms of actual physical intervention resulting in the deaths of others, Butters might have Cartman beat. Cruise ships like the one he sinks in "Going Native" have typical passenger numbers in the thousands. While Cartman has brought down planes with likely triple-digit passenger numbers, that still pale in comparison to Butters' actions. However, if Cartman's manipulations can be considered a murderous act in itself, then ordering Cthulhu to kill countless across America in the "Mysterious Rises" arc gives him a clear edge.
If malice and forethought are also on the table, then Cartman's deliberate acts of slaughter make him the much more prolific killer. He killed two Chinese but he wasn't aiming at them. He also shows an inability to use his dagger when fighting Kenny over the Wall-Mart, although it is likely he either had no interest in killing Kenny only use the dagger for threatening people , or that he was too pre-occupied with Kenny lightly slapping him to use it.
Cartman uses bladed finger gloves similar to Freddy Krueger when dressed as The Coon. Cartman beats up several people with these weapons; Mint Berry Crunch and The Mosquito at the same time, though it was a surprise attack, a little girl in an airport; several adults in an attempt to stop "murders" and "rapes", and fights off Professor Chaos and General Disarray , though he is eventually beaten.
This shows skill, though most were surprise. Cartman uses this ability by using words that are considered naughty. Cartman kills a black demon, and is shown beating Saddam Hussein in a fight, whereas the military could not even harm him with machine guns.
Cartman also rises into the air after a chain of naughty words, including " Barbra Streisand ". Cartmans electrokinesis is gone in the show, most likely removed as a result of Satan making everything "go back to how it used to be" as per Kenny's final request. Cartman "kills" Clyde Frog by slicing him open in several places, and crucifying him to a tree, showing skill with a blade, and enough strength to force sewing needles into a tree; he "kills" Peter Panda by setting him on fire while sleepwalking; he "kills" Muscleman Marc by supposedly boiling him alive; he hooks a bomb collar he apparently made himself onto Wumpletumpkins, showing immense skill with traps and explosives as well as creating and inventing deadly weapons that could be used by the military; and he shoots Polly Prissypants in the head with a magnum revolver several times and using the entire load case of the gun, which was 6 shots total, showing incredible marksmanship, never missing a shot, and always hitting the head and not damaging the chair at all despite the recoil the revolver had.
Cartman, along with the ret of the town, gets addicted to guns in " PC Principal Final Justice ", although he doesn't fire one. In the episode " Ass Burgers ", Cartman is shown to be able to cook hamburgers very well, if only achievable after putting them in his underpants. Cartman also makes something called a "Toaster Pastry Chocolate Mix Butter Bar", by taking two pop tarts and sandwiching them with a stick of butter covered in chocolate milk mix in " Fat Camp ".
Cartman has a Facebook account as seen in " You Have 0 Friends ". He ran a regular podcast named Mad Friends parody of Mad Money. The episode is based on the ever growing Facebook craze.
He tried to help Kyle delete Kip Drordy and get new friends by using Chat Roulette, but the only result he got were men masturbating and pictures of penises. In the real world, he has a Facebook account which is run by someone from South Park Studios. In the episode " Jakovasaurs ", Cartman's backpack is shown with a tag that reads:. Cartman wears a red jacket, yellow mittens, a blue hat with a yellow puff ball on top, brown pants, black shoes, and white socks as seen in " Super Fun Time ".
He sometimes wears a green t-shirt with a bear picture on under his jacket, a white tank top, and occasionally a dark red t-shirt. He has medium-brown hair and a double-chin. He also has triangular-shaped eyebrows, in contrast to the other main boys' rectangular ones. Even though Cartman is overweight, he always denies it especially in the earlier seasons by saying, "I'm not fat, I'm just big-boned", or some variation thereof. However, as seen in " Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!
But in " Fat Camp ", when he tells his mother to talk about how he's big boned and such, she instead says, "Those were all lies, sweetie, you're just fat. Cartman likely has blue irises, as, due to the events of " The Succubus ", he has Kenny's eyes, which were shown with blue in " Starvin' Marvin ". In Season Twenty , he wears a t-shirt with the words "Token's life matters".
Cartman uncapped in " How to Eat with Your Butt ". Cartman is described in various terms, in short, he is an evil, vicious, angry, self-absorbed, immature, destructive, sarcastic, snooty, loud-mouthed, lazy, and insane child.
He is the most foul-mouthed character in the show. He is also racist and stereotypes almost everyone he sees. The very dark, usually disturbing undertones to his personality often hint at an extreme mental imbalance. Apart from being portrayed as having a general lack of moral responsibility or social conscience, he also seems to take pleasure from others' misfortune and is generally unable to show empathy, although there have been exceptions, such as in " How to Eat with Your Butt.
In these episodes, he usually convinces Kyle that he has good intentions, such as in the " Cartoon Wars " two-parter, where Cartman appears to Kyle that he is concerned about people's safety at the beginning, but it is later shown to only have been doing it to get Family Guy off the air. In the " Do the Handicapped Go to Hell? However, it is revealed that he only did it so he could earn money.
In " Kenny Dies ", he is distraught at Kenny's impending death leading Kyle to console him. Later when his supposedly real motives were revealed, knowing how Cartman typically is, Kyle promptly fights him in Kenny's defense, although Cartman was genuinely distraught over Kenny's illness before and after he learns that he can benefit from it.
This clearly shows that Cartman went through Congress for Kenny and reveals that he does not have a healthy way of dealing with the death of his friend. Cartman can, on rare occasions, show compassion towards cats, as in " Major Boobage " in which he hides cats in his attic from the authorities.
This compassion hints that he has not progressed to be a full sociopath. In " The Death of Eric Cartman ", Kyle sums up Cartman's character as a "fat, racist, self-centered, intolerant, manipulative sociopath".
Cartman as a metrosexual in " South Park is Gay! He has been shown to harass and bully people at his school, and, as a result, many people in the show despise him. Cartman, however, does not consider himself to be a bully who likes to pick on other people to pleasure himself; in fact, he seems to disregard good or bad altogether or perhaps simply does not have a concept of it and does whatever he feels necessary for him to get ahead.
Cartman seems to be motivated not so much by personal gain as by asserting superiority over others. But, when Cartman wins a myrrh album and discovers that the Christian companies do not give out platinum albums Christ did not believe in such things, the albums stem from the gifts of the three wise men; they give out gold, frankincense, and myrrh albums , thus meaning he cannot win the bet, he angrily destroys the myrrh album, showing that he did not care how he just made millions of dollars, he just wanted to beat Kyle in a bet.
Cartman's much quoted line, "Respect my authority" or as Cartman pronounces it, "respect mah authori-tah" highlights his power hungry and dictatorial characteristics. Despite these traits, Cartman rarely commands respect from his peers. Cartman's friendships with the other kids are clearly existent, but just not shown as much because of his personality. Ironically, despite or perhaps because of these qualities, Cartman also seems to be a natural leader, able to utilize overwhelming charisma and rhetoric to gain the obedience of large groups on a moment's notice as in " The Passion of the Jew " , appearing to be innately aware of how to take advantage of "mob mentality" and direct it toward accomplishing his personal goals, as has been evidenced in countless episodes throughout the series' history.
In situations where the other boys share his goals, Cartman is often the de facto leader e. Indeed, the others consistently show a willingness to follow him and trust in his leadership when he's using his abilities for "good.
Cartman also seems to share many of the shows creators' Trey Parker and Matt Stone more controversial opinions, despite both of them modeling Stan and Kyle after themselves. Examples of this include an extremely strong dislike for Family Guy for its lack of character development, plot, or smart humor.
Other examples include Cartman's strong distaste of hippies, to the point that he has personally kept them out of South Park since he was 4 years old, and his belittlement of the Catholic Church as extremist, homophobic, and a supporter of pedophiles in " Medicinal Fried Chicken ".
He also considers John Lennon to be the "king of hippies". Even though Cartman is a child, he discriminates against a lot of people. In fact, he is a racist, sexist, and specialist. He is a racist because he thinks that "minorities" would take over the world someday as revealed in " The China Probrem " and in " Pee ". In first three seasons, Cartman did not show any racism but it soon developed after the events of " Cartman's Silly Hate Crime ".
His discrimination lead to him becoming a bully on Token Black as he was African American. His sexism is also seen in the series as he hates girls too but that is because he is sexually confused. He actually believes that girls and women are weaker than men and stupider too. His sexism also made him turn his own mom into a personal slave who spoils Eric with anything he wanted, however, she started to resist him in " Tsst ".
Cartman's speciesism is also seen in the show and started to show it against his cat, Mr. Cartman also has bigotry towards extraterrestrials and is extremely xenophobic but that is simply because some visitors placed an anal probe into him twice, thus starting his speciesism.
However this kind of speciesism against alien races is very rarely seen in the show. If you had a chance to go back in time right now and stop Hitler, wouldn't you do it? I mean, I personally wouldn't stop him, because I think he was awesome, but you would, right? Cartman is extremely anti-Semitic, and a great many of his bigoted actions are directed towards all Jews and especially toward his Jewish friend Kyle , whom he openly hates and considers sub-human because of his faith.
In the episode. When he tried to win the Special Olympics by feigning a disability in " Up the Down Steroid " , Kyle attempts to talk him out of it by telling him, regardless of their differences, that Cartman will surely go to Hell for such an act; Cartman replies that Kyle does not understand that Hell is reserved for the Jews, indicating once again his self-righteousness.
He also has been shown to consider Judaism to be a disability and the title "Jew" to be an insult. In the episode " Pinkeye ", Cartman dresses up as Hitler for Halloween A costume made by his mother even though Cartman himself did not know who Hitler was, showing that his antisemitism may come from his mother in some part.
When shown a documentary to demonstrate why dressing like him isn't cool, Cartman is enthralled and imagines himself being the one commanding the Nazi troops in the video. Since Cartman has trouble restraining himself from teasing Kyle Schwartz about his Jewish heritage since he is the stereotypical Jew that Kyle Broflovski had been trying to avoid being for five years , when Ms.
Choksondik later tells Kyle Schwartz to concentrate, Cartman impulsively blurts out: " Maybe we should send him to concentration camp! A contradiction of his idolization of Adolf Hitler is seen in " I'm a Little Bit Country " where in this episode Cartman is incapable of pronouncing "Nazi" correctly pronouncing it "Nay-zee" upon seeing it written, as though he had never come upon the word before.
Another contradiction occurs in " Tsst ", when Cartman compares his mother who had been instructed how to treat her rampantly egocentric son by the Dog Whisperer, with Hitler, as a reason why she should be killed although this is probably because Cartman is not being allowed to indulge in his personal desires.
In addition to taking regular jabs at racial, ethnic and religious minorities, as well as people of lower income like Kenny , Cartman is also prejudicial against red-haired, light skinned and freckled people, which means that he is anti ginger. This particular prejudice most probably originated from the notorious incident with Scott Tenorman , who had red hair and freckles, although it may also be partially due to the fact that Kyle has red hair and Liane Cartman's presumed prejudice against red haired people.
He believes that ginger kids are the most evil people in the world and that they have no souls, which is clearly false. During the episode " Ginger Kids ", when the other three boys lead him to believe he has become a Ginger himself in order to teach him a lesson, he is horrified. Later, he organizes a cult of homicidal Ginger children bent on world conquest known as the " Ginger Separatist Movement ", remarking: " I'm not going to live my life as a Goddamn minority!
An even bigger irony however, would be when he later discover that he was indeed half-Ginger, as his biological father, Jack Tenorman who was also father of Scott Tenorman was a Ginger football player for the Denver Broncos. This would technically make him a "Daywalker"; he does have the Ginger gene.
Cartman hates ginger kids a lot because he thinks that they would take over the world someday and are soulless. Cartman seems to ignore his half ginger heritage in later episodes simply because he is ashamed of it. Cartman also may harbor some bigotry towards African-Americans.
He is never shown out right hating black people although he does believe in several stereotypes , and is shown several times playing with Token and seeking advice from Chef one of the few characters on the show Cartman generally respected.
Although Cartman was in jail for his "hate crime" on Token, even though it is quite obvious he did not bash Token's head with a rock because he is black, but because he thought Token had insulted him it was in fact Kyle who did this. Even though he usually rips on Token for being black, and he said he is gonna kill Token someday - " Christian Rock Hard " , he does not seem to harbor negative feelings for black people, and Cartman always says he is going to kill people, so saying he was going to kill Token might not be personal.
I'm not black, all right?! This is strange because in Up the Down Steroid when Kyle informs that Cartman is going to cheat, Cartman responds to this by saying that hell is only reserved for Jews, but he did not include African Americans into the mix. Cartman's most passionate abhorrence is aimed at hippies, though he seems to use this term for liberals in general.
In " Die Hippie, Die ", he believes that hippies will destroy the town, and while the rest of the townspeople are initially skeptical, his fears are eventually borne out. When too close to liberals, he suffers what could be called an allergic reaction.
He also wore a bio-suit upon entering San Francisco in Smug Alert! His primary goal of that was because he needed someone to pick on he had started to pick on Butters, but Butters just wasn't feeling it. Cartman's hatred of hippies and allergic reaction to liberals could mean that Cartman is a conservative.
This means that Cartman does support the republican party but he did not tantrum over any losses in presidential elections, unlike Ike Broflovski.
Instead of throwing tantrums, Cartman burglarizes houses and steals property from liberals and conservatives as revealed in About Last Night He seems to have some liberal beliefs, he never openly states that he's a Republican but does say that Democrats piss him off, although he doesn't to have any objection to them protesting in " I'm a Little Bit Country ". Cartman's bigotry and antisemitism seem to come in second next to his personal needs, however; despite his hate for the Jews, Cartman saves Kyle in the episode " Smug Alert!
In " Le Petit Tourette ", he is not above thanking Kyle for stopping him from humiliating himself on national television. Also, he saved the life of Kyle, who had been killed by Manbearpig in " Imaginationland, Episode II "; while this was seemingly because Kyle would not be able to suck his balls if he died, he was shown to cry, and showed concern even before the military leader reminded him that "at least now he doesn't have to suck anyone's balls.
Cartman is usually an orderly individual, while his goals are chaotic in nature, he obeys rules when they suit him, even using order to manipulate other people. He often idolizes people whom he feels share his various bigotries and aims.
By this reasoning, he falls under "Neutral Evil", with no particular preference towards law or chaos, as either one can be used to his advantage.
Cartman is usually cold-hearted and selfish, but can be warm-hearted and caring on a whim. This sensitive and selfless side of Cartman is often a superficial cover up for a selfish scheme he has in mind.
It has been repeatedly shown that Cartman has serious behavioral and emotional problems. He has extremely exaggerated anger issues and violent tendencies when upset.
Perhaps the best example of this is seen in " Scott Tenorman Must Die ", when he had two people shot, ground into chili and then fed to their distraught son, causing a horrified Kyle to say that he and Stan should never piss off Cartman again. This has since been regarded as Cartman's defining moment and has been brought up again countless times during the series. He also has displayed traits of gender confusion; he occasionally has tea parties with stuffed dolls pretending they are talking about how cool he is , owns a supposed female cat named " Mr.
In " Freak Strike ", Cartman goes on the Maury Povich Show to be a panelist during a discussion on out-of-control kids. In an attempt to win the assumed prize, he dresses up as a promiscuous teenage girl. Cartman's confused sexuality is most apparent in the episode " Cartman Sucks ", in which Cartman takes pictures of himself with Butters' penis in his mouth to make Butters look gay.
However, Kyle, Stan and Kenny explain that such actions actually make Cartman look gay, which results in Cartman trying to get a picture taken of his own penis in Butters' mouth. Another moment of this apparent confusion can be seen during the events of the " Imaginationland " trilogy, where he bet Kyle that leprechauns were real, and if he won, Kyle would have to suck his balls.
Although Cartman was proven to be right, Kyle refused, causing Cartman to become obsessed, and began going to extreme lengths to force Kyle to suck on his balls. When Jimmy later questions his motive behind pursuing Kyle to get him to suck his balls as being "a little faggy", he explains that it was all to humiliate Kyle. In Le Petit Tourette he unconsciously blurts out that he touched penises with his cousin.
Ever since Cartman's voice has changed, he has a peculiar, geographically indeterminable accent, or possibly speech impediment, with odd pronunciations of certain words and names which has shown to be a dominant trait in the extended Cartman family.
Aside from the sheer volume of expletives in his dialog, he also uses words in different and often grammatically incorrect context. Some examples of this are: instead of saying 'I'm serious" he will say "I'm seriously", instead of saying "here" he will say "heahre" sometimes in the earlier episodes, he would even pronounce "here" as "myah" , apologized to Wendy by saying he was very "remoursefulness" for his actions " Breast Cancer Show Ever " , and instead of saying "respect my authority" , he'll say "respect mah authoritah.
In the episode, " The Poor Kid ", Cartman was finally confronted by other characters about his mispronounciations. Weatherhead walked into the room, replying with "My name is not Meem. A defining arc during the show's fourth season was Cartman's single-minded quest to make 10 million dollars. The schemes he has tried include; becoming a part of the Denver "tooth racket"; and stealing Tooth Fairy money from kids , starting a boy band called Fingerbang , and forming his own church and embezzling it's collection money These all failed miserably for several reasons.
He also tried at it in the episode " Cherokee Hair Tampons " when Kyle's kidneys were failing and Cartman, being the only one with Kyle's blood type, demanded a payment of 10 million dollars when Stan begged him to let Kyle have his kidney. He has also tried to sell a crashed truck-load of aborted fetuses to the highest-bidding stem cell research center, and even to a restaurant as food. The reasons for this are never fully explained, although in one episode " Cartmanland ", after inheriting a million dollars from his grandmother, he reveals that he wishes to buy his own amusement park so he won't have to wait in lines for the rides.
He also stated that it has been his dream to own a million dollars since he was two years old. In " ManBearPig " Cartman stumbles upon a pile of treasure while the boys are trapped in a system of caves.
Afraid that the others might find the treasure and demand a share, Cartman decides to swallow as many of the coins and jewels as he can, causing him to become extremely bloated and unable to walk or swim on his own.
Later in the episode it is revealed, during the process of painfully crapping it out, that the treasure is fake and used for photographs for tourists at the caves. He is miserably and completely scrooged, determined not to give up the slightest amount of money, such as refusing to give a dollar to Afghan children in " Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants ", "I'm not giving a dollar to those towel-heads!
Although Cartman can at times be worldly, he is often wildly misinformed; he once believed that dolphins lived in igloos and mistook a canned food drive for 'when you cut open a chick's stomach and pull out the baby from inside,' and mistakes sexual harassment when 'you're having intercourse with a lady friend and someone tickles your balls from behind.
Cartman appears to know very little about the female anatomy. Also, in the episode " Chickenpox ", when he was told that his mom sent him to Kenny 's house so he would catch chickenpox, he claimed that he would "kick her square in the nuts".
In " Raisins ", he agreed with Butters when he said to Bebe " Oh yeah? Well, at least we have assholes. In " The List ", he made a plan to steal a list the girls made of who the cutest boys in the class were. The plan involved Butters kicking one of the girls in the balls, which failed of course, forcing Cartman and the rest of the boys to conclude that "Our mission failed, but we've learned a lot; primarily that girls do not have balls".
Despite this, in " Member Berries " he was shown to still not have learned this. In " Fort Collins ", having seen Heidi Turner 's vagina, it is implied he still does not realize women don't have balls. In " Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus ", Cartman claimed he had hit puberty because he had his period, when really he had an infection that made him bleed out his butt he didn't realize that only girls got periods until God told him at the end of the episode.
In " Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy ", it is shown that Cartman's idea of sexual intercourse is to " Stick it inside her and pee.
If you don't want to get her pregnant you pull it out and pee on her leg. Cartman complains "Mom! Kitty's being a dildo! However, it is possible he is using it as a generic insult, such as calling someone a "dick".
Also in Pee , his ignorance is again displayed when he thinks all the minorities in "his" water park are what the Mayans predicted and by , the apocalypse will be when the whole world is minorities. Cartman also confuses English people with French people. In the early seasons, he often teased Pip and called him a " French piece of crap ".
On the other extreme, in the movie, he called The Mole a "'British piece of' shit", despite The Mole being supposedly French. Additionally, in " The Jeffersons ", he alludes to despising Austrians, apparently failing to note the irony of the fact that he admires Hitler, who was Austrian.
It is also worth noting that Cartman is completely oblivious to the fact the other kids hate him, and often assumes they're joking when they imply or even openly declare it. In the episode " " Cartman completely ignores the fact that he got his own father killed and fed to his half-brother and is more concerned about being half-ginger.
In " Bass to Mouth ", Cartman is oblivious to the fact that his making another student crap herself is useless when trying to prevent the suicide of another student. Cartman shows a pathological degree of impatience when forced to do something he doesn't want to do or when he has to wait for something he wants.
An example of the former is seen in " I'm a Little Bit Country ", in which Cartman electrocutes himself in an attempt to create a flashback and avoid studying. In the episode " Go God Go ", where Cartman freezes himself so that he won't have to wait three weeks for the Nintendo Wii console to be released, which shows irony in the end; Butters cannot find where Cartman was frozen due to an avalanche, and Eric is thawed out almost years in the future, the people there zap him back to his own time where it turns out that he got sent back three months before the Wii's release.
In Medicinal Fried Chicken , Cartman is shown to be extremely agitated when he has waited to have KFC for too long and blurts out obscenities and shouting horrible things to his friends and to his mom Liane Cartman and when the KFCs get replaced with medicinal marijuana stores, he goes to an addiction clinic to be prescribed with KFC gravy.
Although Cartman frequently insults and taunts his friends, he sometimes appears to be more cowardly than they are when it comes to physical confrontation. In " It's Christmas in Canada ", after Cartman repeatedly threatens to beat Kyle up if they don't get home in time for Christmas, Kyle punches Cartman and he immediately bursts into tears.
A similar instance can be seen during " Cartman Sucks ", although Kyle only punches Cartman in the arm. Cartman may react like this to gain sympathy from other boys so he may turn the other boys against Kyle showcased in " It's a Jersey Thing ", where he turned Butters and a few other boys against Kyle by exaggerating how Kyle pushed him against a tree or he could just be cowardly, it is unknown which It is likely the latter.
At the end of " Kenny Dies ", after Cartman revealed his true motives for fighting to lift the ban on stem cell research, to replicate a " Shakey's Pizza " and not to save Kenny's life, Kyle, enraged about this, brutally begins to beat up Cartman, delivering several blows to his chest and a good roundhouse right.
The beating continued on until the end of the episode and hasn't been mentioned at all since, although it shows Kyle was able to beat Cartman easily when angry. Cartman and Dr. Nelson , engaged in a fight in " With Apologies to Jesse Jackson ". In several episodes, he is seen able to overpower Kenny, but in some episodes he isn't capable of doing so.
Eventually, after having debated the issue at length, the writers decided to go ahead with the idea. Cartman is notable for having a very large criminal record. Although he has committed many atrocities and crimes, he has only been arrested six times. Probably around Stone stated that thinking of humorous ways to kill the character was initially fun, but became more mundane as the series progressed.
