Starvin' Marvin first appeared in the South Park episode "Starvin' Marvin" in 1997, as an Ethiopian child accidentally sent to the town instead of a watch the boys ordered. The character became a recurring gag about extreme hunger and poverty played through the show's satirical style. Short clips of his voice later spread on soundboards and in meme edits, where his distinctive pleading delivery is reused whenever someone wants to exaggerate being hungry, broke or in desperate need of help.
