Eric Cartman is one of the main characters in South Park, the animated series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that premiered in 1997. Voiced by Parker, Cartman became famous for selfish schemes and quotable insults delivered in a distinctive childlike voice. Short Cartman clips spread widely through early soundboards, YouTube edits, and later TikTok and Discord servers, where a single word in his voice works as instant shorthand. This ghetto clip survives because fans recognise the character immediately and reuse it for quick reaction humour.
