Eric Cartman is one of the four main boys in South Park, the animated comedy created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that premiered in 1997, with Parker voicing Cartman. The character became famous for selfish schemes, foul language and explosive outbursts delivered in a distinctive whine. Short clips of his threats were shared widely on soundboards, forums and video edits in the 2000s and 2010s. This line survives because it captures Cartman's whole persona in a single burst, and fans still quote it as a shorthand for cartoonish overreaction.
