Eric Cartman Biography
Eric Theodore Cartman first waddled into our lives in the 1997 debut episode of South Park, “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” and television history was never the same. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Cartman is an unapologetically crass, morally bankrupt, and endlessly entertaining anti-hero whose outrageous antics have become the stuff of comedy legend. As one of the original four boys of South Park Elementary, Cartman quickly established himself as the loudest, greediest, and most hilariously diabolical member of the group.
Cartman is defined by his larger-than-life personality and even larger appetite for power (and snacks). From his infamous schemes—like feeding Scott Tenorman his own parents in chili (yes, that happened)—to his deeply offensive one-liners, Cartman is a master manipulator who will do anything to get his way. But under all that selfishness and villainy, there’s a spark of brilliance and, dare we say it, vulnerability. Whether he’s forming a Christian rock band for profit (Faith +1), leading a civil war reenactment, or trying to outsmart Kyle in yet another petty feud, Cartman’s adventures are a rollercoaster of chaos, comedy, and shock fest moments.
