Ike Broflovski was introduced in the first season of South Park in 1997 as Kyle Broflovski's adopted brother from Canada. Voiced at different times by children of the show's staff, the character became known for his simple lines, his football shaped head shared with other Canadian characters, and the running gag where Kyle warns others not to kick the baby. Clips of his voice later spread through forums, early soundboards and social media, where fans still use them as a shorthand for innocent, toddler logic interrupting adult conversations.
