The SpotlightStealing Squad trope as used in popular culture. Most works have a main character or a set of main characters who are supposed to be the main. None of the other three main children really consider Cartman their friend and do not know why they started hanging out with him in the first place, but a certain form of unstable friendship ends up being born between them. However he is usually Kyles first choice when he breaks his friendship with Stan.

According to the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they thought it would be impossible to put a character like Archie Bunker on late 2. But then they came up with the idea that it might be allowed if the character were an animated nine formerly eight year old boy living in the mountain town of South Park, Colorado. Thus, Cartman was born2. Contrary to popular belief that Cartmans name is derived from German war pilot Erich Hartmann which would reflect his love of Hitler and the Nazis, Trey and Matt confirmed in an online interview that Cartmans name is based on someone with the surname Carpman3. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have repeatedly stated that Cartman is their ultimate favorite of all the characters in the show4. Although Cartman is initially modeled after Archie Bunker, Toni Johnson Woods, author of Blame Canada South Park and Contemporary Culture, says that she believes Cartman also draws parallels to Jackie Gleason of The Honeymooners, and Fred Flintstone5.

He has been arrested for his mistakenly assumed hate crime, kidnapping Butters, framing Liane for operating a meth lab, being with Stan Marsh on Whale Whores The prison Cartman went to for this assumed crime was Japanese, and incarcerating hippies. He was also arrested for the murders and terrorism of multiple people with Cthulhu, while under the disguise of the Coon, by Kyle, Kenny, Stan, Clyde, Token and Timmy, although they didnt have the authority. Even then he was released almost immediately after his arrest. The real reason why Cartman doesnt stay in prison for a very long time is likely because his Mom bails him out, dismissing the severity of the crime. Another reason why because the town is too incompetent to do anything about it. Cartmans criminal record includes but isnt limited to. Murder In Butt Out, Cartman stabbed Rob Reiner, essentially killing him. This can be considered self defense Reiner had been trying to lynch him by gathering a mob. However, Rob Reiner does appear in a later episode proving he did not actually die. When he flash backed to 1.

He T ped a house in Toilet Paper and The Ring and since Butters was put in jail for it Cartman would have but he was praised instead for being honest.
