Eric Cartman is a central character in South Park, the animated television series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that premiered in 1997. Voiced by Parker, Cartman became closely associated with the longer catchphrase “Screw you guys, I’m going home,” especially during the show’s earlier years. Shortened versions of the line later circulated through soundboards, video edits, and reaction memes. It remains useful because the meaning is immediate, while Cartman’s petulant delivery gives an ordinary departure a sharply comedic edge.
