Eric Cartman

Eric Theodore Cartman, voiced by Trey Parker, is one of the (four then five) central characters of South Park.

Appearance
Eric Cartman wears a red jacket, yellow gloves and a blue hat with a yellow puff ball on top, brown pants, and black shoes. He wears a green T-shirt under his jacket, and other times a tank top. He has light brown hair, which is always black when he is dressed up like Hitler, and has a double chin. Cartman has a weight problem, but always denies it by saying "I'm not fat. Just big boned."



Personality & Eccentricities
At the beginning of the series, Cartman was portrayed as a brat who ate too much, but his character developed as the series progressed, becoming abusive, murderous, anti-Semitic, violent, campy, aggressive, greedy, corrupt, bigoted, self-centered, rude, racist, wildly insecure, and a extremely manipulative young sociopath. Cartman has many mental problems, most noticeably Gender Confusion. He is known to have tea parties with his dolls, and have them say how cool he is. He even once dressed up like Britney Spears and danced with a Justin Timberlake cardboard cut out. Cartman is ill-tempered with no patience, having been spoiled by his mother who treated him more like a friend then a son. He usually gets what he wants, when he wants, and it is disturbing to him when this is not always the case. Cartman's role model is Adolf Hitler, which explains his hatred of the Jewish people. He has dressed up like Hitler several times, and has once tried to send the Jewish population of South Park to a concentration camp. Cartman has had several close brush ups with Sexual Harassment, including when he unknowingly became the Poster Child of NAMBLA.

Cartman is wildly misinformed, once believing dolphins lived in igloos. Cartman is known for making cunning and insane schemes and plots where his manipulative powers are most prominent. In the fourth season Cartman came up with several attempts at getting $10 million. Cartman has no real friends due to his unlikeable personality, leading him to try and surpass others, to make himself better then them, and having something to gloat over them. He has a deep hatred for hippies, but it is never initially explained where the hatred comes from. Cartman has not shown much interest in girls, but is always turned down when he does, leading him to become angry or depressed. He sees violent scenes of destruction and mutilation every time he closes his eyes, but thinks nothing of it. It only becomes clear how far Cartman will take things in the episode Scott Tenorman Must Die, when he has Scott's parents killed, and has them baked into chili which he makes Scott eat.

Cartman's cause is never a good one. He sometimes pretends to be doing something for one reason, while secretly doing it for another, which still even manages to trick Kyle, Stan, and Kenny. He has a problem of sneaking into the bedrooms of others at night. Cartman used to always try to become mature, through immature ways.

Atrocities
'''"Dude, I don't think we should ever mess with Cartman again." - Stan Marsh'''

Eric, despite being a nine year old foul mouth, has committed several very bad atrocities.


 * He used Mel Gibson's Movie The Passion as a rallying point for the people of South Park to unite under one banner and "get them on the trains and off to the camps", referring to the Jewish community.
 * After being tricked by a young boy called Scott Tenorman into buying a cutting of his pubes and being humiliated publicly by the boy, Cartman sought revenge. He devised a plan to have the boy's parents killed, and then fed the bodies to the boy at a chili cook-off.
 * He escalated a Civil War reenactment into a second American Civil War in order to get Stan and Kyle to be his slaves for a month.
 * He manipulated a serious situation of a crisis of faith in South Park, building his own church and asking all the kids in the town to go and "put a dollar in the box"; the whole purpose was so he could gain 10 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!.

(In his own defence, in hindsight this was seen as a better decision on Eric's part) He found the cursed "Hippies" infiltrating South Park, used their drugged states to kidnap them and keep them held up in his basement.

Heroic Moments

 * In Weight Gain 4000 Cartman got so fat that he saved Katie Lee from being shoot by a bullet.
 * In the episode “Die Hippie, Die,” his intolerance of hippies saves South Park from a drug-filled hippie music festival.
 * In the full-length feature film, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, his frequent use of vulgarity, after getting electrocuted by a power box, coupled with the experimental V-chip implanted in his brain to stop him swearing (which gave him temporary electrostatic powers), deliberately helps save the world from Saddam Hussein.
