Eric Theodore Cartman, commonly referred to by his family name, Cartman, is one of the main characters in the animated series South Park, and perhaps the most popular character in the series. Cartman is voiced by Trey Parker.
Cartman is notably and darkly eccentric, to the point of being evil, and often reacts in violent and over-dramatic ways to events. He dislikes and openly expresses his hatred of any race or group of which he is not a member, particularly of hippies and Jews, which is the cause of his intense rivalry with Kyle Broflovski. He often manipulates others to meet his own ends (at which he is very skilled) regardless of the consequences, even if it can result in death and destruction.
