- He is a fictional character who was written specifically to be all those adjectives. --mav 23:35, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Strongly agree with the above. →Raul654 23:35, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)
The only thing that *might* be npov is these two paragraphs:
Perhaps his family life is to blame: his mother is a hermaphroditic porn-queen (but a very sweet mom all the same), his father is probably his mother, and all of his other relatives appear to have exactly the same temperament as Eric himself.
As the chubby antihero of the four lads, he was never intended to be the hero of the series, but within the first season he captured the popular imagination more than his three friends. The more outrageous his behavior, the more audiences seem to love him. His total (yet unfounded) belief in himself and disregard for others marks him for a type of greatness: he could be President someday.
Eric Cartman is a fictional character???
AMERICAN SPELLING SUCKS
Yeah, there was inconsistent spelling of words that should either end in -or (american) or -our (british). Switched them all to American spelling, since this is clearly a subject based in America.
Mental Retardation?
With the occasional faking of retardation to get what he wants, Eric is in no way, nor has he ever shown to be, actually retarded. Ridethefire3211 18:34, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Icon
Is Cartman considered a cultural icon? He is one of the most recognized characters on tv.
I don't think his mom self-inseminated herself. Think about it
- Well, she couldn't have self-inseminated anyone else. Think about it. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 00:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- Just saw the episode, and according to it, she made another woman pregnant. She is Eric's father, while his mother is unknown. Bjelleklang - talk 22:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- You are correct, sir. She is technically the father, not the mother. I say technically, because it was largely a joke to end the episode on another cliffhanger (of "who is cartman's mother?")that was cut short by Cartman yelling 'Ah shut up!'. She is still referred to as his mother on the show, and no further reference has ever been made about her status as father. Themindset 22:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
cleanup
This article needs some work. It starts out okay, but then it launches into a huge unbroken mass of text that amounts to basically "Oh dude this one time, carman fed chili to a guy and his PARENTS were in it and then selma hayek and his frog and the totally omg jennifer lopez ben affleck he had SEX with his HAND and then..."
So I'm cleaning it up a bit.

Necessary?
He's a fictional cartoon character, for crying out loud. This piece on the character of Eric Cartman would best be summarized and placed into the South Park article. Misplaced Pages can't possibly have an article for every character played on television or in motion pictures.
- He's a significant character both in the series, and culturally. And please, keep in mind, Misplaced Pages is not made of paper. Themindset 14:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
