Talk:Eric Cartman/Archive 1

message: Okay, there are a couple things in who/what cartman hates that might not belong.
1.  The postal service -- when does cartman say he hates postal workers?
2.  We might want to get rid of Stan, Kenny, Clyde and "those guys", and keep it strictly to people that he consistently hates as opposed to people he says he hates once in a while.  Remember this section is supposed to define who he really hates to describe his character and personality.  He really doesn't hate stan and kenny.  In fact, in two episodes he says that kenny is his best friend.
I'm gonna make these changes now, otherwise, state your objections here and revert to the old page.

replies: text: You are correct, sir. She is technically the father, not the mother. I say technically, because it was largely a joke to end the episode on another cliffhanger (of "who is cartman's mother?")that was cut short by Cartman yelling 'Ah shut up!'. She is still referred to as his mother on the show, and no further reference has ever been made about her status as father. Themindset 22:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This article needs some work. It starts out okay, but then it launches into a huge unbroken mass of text that amounts to basically "Oh dude this one time, carman fed chili to a guy and his PARENTS were in it and then selma hayek and his frog and the totally omg jennifer lopez ben affleck he had SEX with his HAND and then..."
So I'm cleaning it up a bit.

message: He's a fictional cartoon character, for crying out loud. This piece on the character of Eric Cartman would best be summarized and placed into the South Park article. Wikipedia can't possibly have an article for every character played on television or in motion pictures.

thread_title:  Who eric hates 

message: A complaint has been made directly to me about removing the "vandalism" that states that Eric Cartman a "dirty Jew hating, nazi-wannabe".  I feel that a quick explanation is in order...
As stated in above threads, this article sounds more like a character review than an encyclopedia entry, and while the recently removed statement may have some validity to it, the point has been made several times within the article in a much more precice and coherent manner.
The primary complaint that was recieved is that since the statement can be justified, a point of questionable validity, it should not be reffered to as vandalism.  My decision is to then change my notes and state that the edit was a "removal of redundant/conclusionary data".  If anyone has a problem, feel free to argue.

message: Do you think he should be added to the category "Evil geniuses"?  I don't know...I mean, is he actually evil?  Hmm, tough choice...
=== NO ===
You raise a good point.   I do not consider Cartman an "Evil Genius", but rather a typical 9 year old trying to cause trouble.  I move to have the category stricken if I have support.

message: HEy! I think i've said this before:Cartman doesn't belong in anti-semitic category, He is FICTIONAL!!
aRRRGH!!!!! iM REMOVING THIS
He absolutely needs to be described as anti-semitic.  Are you going to say that we can't call him fat, because he's fictional?  Just because he's not a real character doesn't mean we can't use ajectives to describe his personality to those who are trying to learn about his personality.   --Gregh2k 06:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought that it was Jesus versus Santa in "The Spirit Of Christmas." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that it was Santa, not Frosty. -WikiFiend90 22:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Jesus Vs. Frosty???

message: These give some more insight into Cartman:
At the end of "My Future Self n Me", an older Cartman travels from the future to tell his past self how his giving up junk food, laziness, etc turns him into a success in the future. Because Cartman thinks he's being manipulated, he vows to eat junkfood, do drugs, and etc, at which point his future self turns into a fat slob.
In "I'm a Little Bit Country", Cartman induces a flashback, during which he murders a messenger with a log to take his place. Sure it's a flashback and the people aren't real and there are no consequences, but Cartman still has no second thoughts about using murder to accomplish his objectives.
In "Toilet Paper", Cartman realizes that even though he might not get caught doing something bad, he might get caught later. Interpret this as you will. 70.66.9.162 01:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Sometimes when I am watching South Park and Cartman has some sort of desert or his pot pie, mr. kitty comes up to him and meows, right?  Then he says "NO KITTEH! IT'S NOT PATé!" or alternative "IT'S MY PATé" Sometimes in the closed captioning I see either "Pot pie" or "Paté", what do you think? --Ampersand2006 ( & ) 15:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Cartman out of the four major characters is the least intelligent. He is seen at times in school turning in projects with little effort. At timeshe's made fun for his stupdity. It's noted that he usually get grades that barely pass. Once he blamed Token because Cartman presented a pen and pencil tied together that he just made when the teacher called him up while Token presented a wheater display system over the next three months using his computer and giving a colored printed version to the teacher.
:Grades are only one kind of smarts, Cartman has an evil genius.  His grades are also a result of his huge laziness when it comes to anything except for the pain and suffering of others - turning in projects with little effort does not mean he's stupid.  WLU 02:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
