Eric Cartman is one of the main characters in South Park, the American animated sitcom that began in 1997, known for his shrill voice and constant outbursts. This Portuguese version of his anger, built around the slang phrase to puto da vida, spread through Brazilian and Portuguese meme pages, soundboards and WhatsApp sticker and audio culture. Its brevity made it perfect for sharing as a reaction file, so it survived as a shorthand for being completely fed up long after the original episode context was forgotten by most listeners online.
