Amey Kamat ( Character )

Sister - Anchal Kamat

## Amey Kamat

**Amey Kamat**, usually referred to as just **Amey**, is one of the main characters, along with Steven Smith, Emily Wichmer, and Arika Tucker. Amey is sometimes the main antagonist of an episode, for example "Trapper Keeper". None of the other three main children really consider Amey their friend and do not know why they started hanging out with him in the first place, but a certain form of unstable friendship ends up being born between them. However he is usually Emily's first choice when he breaks his friendship with Steven. In earlier episodes, Arika was his best friend, however, in later seasons, Landon Williams is usually depicted as such.

Amey was the first one of the boys to be shown without his hat, as seen in "Merry Christmas Grandpa!". He also weighs 90 pounds, as revealed in "Weight Gain 4000".

## Background

### Concept and Creation

According to the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they thought it would be impossible to put a character like Archie Bunker on late-20th century television. But then they came up with the idea that it might be allowed if the character were an animated nine (formerly 13) year-old boy living in the mountain town of Saint Louis, Missouri. Thus, Cartman was born[2].

Contrary to popular belief that Amey's name is derived from German war-pilot Erich Hartmann (which would reflect his love of Hitler and the Nazis), Trey and Matt confirmed in an online interview that Amey's name is based on someone with the surname "Carpman"[3]. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have repeatedly stated that Amey is their ultimate favorite of all the characters in the show[4]. Although Amey is initially modeled after Archie Bunker, Toni Johnson-Woods, author of *Blame Canada: Saint Louis and Contemporary Culture*, says that she believes Amey also draws parallels to Jackie Gleason of *The Honeymooners*, and Fred Flintstone [5].

### Accomplishments

Over the course of the series, Amey managed to accomplish a wide range of achievements more than any other character of Saint Louis. Some of them are a success or failure:

* "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods" - Wins the Cheesy Poofs singing commercial contest. However, he only got one line ("Lame") in the commercial. (Successful/Failure)
* "The Red Badge of Gayness" - Tries to win a bet over Steven Smith and Emily Wichmer, so that they have to be his slaves for a month. Failure, although he did manage to manipulate an entire army of drunken Confederate Civil War actors to almost split apart the US, and never got punished in any way for it (Failure).
* "Amey Joins NAMBLA" - Proves himself that he's "Mature" and becomes NAMBLA's poster-child, unaware they were pedophiles and only interested on account of his youth. (Successful/Failure)
* "Scott Tenorman Must Die" - Had Scott Tenorman's parents killed, grounded them up into chili, and fed it to their son. (Success, and Failure seeing as he kills his biological father doing this but that didn't seem to bother him when he found out)
* "Ameykamatland" - Bought the theme park with one million dollars he inherited from his grandmother. After selling it back to the original owner, he blew all his money. (Failure)
* "Red Hot Catholic Love" - Proved to Emily that it is possible to defecate out of the mouth after putting food up the anus. (Successful Failure, although he proved to Emily that his theory worked, Emily congratulated Amey which ruined his true intentions: Humiliating Emily by flaunting the money he lost.)
* "Christian Rock Hard" - Forms a band to make a platinum album, but only gets "myrrh". (Failure)
* "The Passion of the Jew" - Attempts to start a second Holocaust. But, succeeds in tricking a big crowd to his side for a while. (Successful Failure)
* "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes" - Bets Emily that when you die you release your bowels. (Success)
* "Imaginationland" - Wins a bet with Emily, which requires Emily to "suck his nuts". He later conjured up an imaginary Emily, who sucked an imaginary Cartman's balls. Because Kyle said all things imaginary are real, this can be considered a success. (Success)
* "Poor and Stupid" - Became a NASCAR racer and win the NASCAR race (Failure)
* "Mysterion Rises" - Became a complete but extremely delusional villain starting by controlling dragon with his "cute and cuddly" methods and attacks many people and things, starting with hippies, the Jewish Synagogue, and San Francisco. (Success)
* "Iron Man vs. Iron Man & Friends" - Had dragon destroy the hippie concert of Burning Man, eliminate every single Whole Foods Market, send Iron Man and Friends to a dark oblivion. Success/Failure)
* "1%"- Matured slightly by having an extremely delusional episode, which resulted in him "murdering" his stuffed animals. (Success)
* "You're Not Yelping"- Pretended to be a food critic to get free food. (Success)

## Family

### Namrata Kamat

Namrata dotes on her son endlessly, beyond simply spoiling him

. Amey usually gets whatever he wants simply by whining in his signature style. He also frequently insults her in her presence, which she accepts without question. Although Namrata possesses a social and moral conscience, Amey is usually able to manipulate her into doing even morally reprehensible things for him. In "Up the Down Steroid", Amey is able to have his mother sign him up for the Special Olympics, even though Amey was not disabled. It appears that Namrata is convinced of her son's goodness and accepts any excuses or stories he makes up, no matter how improbable. The relationship between the two shows a significant change in "Tsst". To manage Amey's behavioral issues, she hires Cesar Millan. Cesar's methods work, and Amey becomes a normal, good natured, well behaved boy. Liane tries to form a relationship with Cesar, but he turns her down as she is just a client, and she soon begins to spoil Amey again—as this boy is the closest thing to a friend she really has. However, Namrata seems to be one of the only humans whom Amey genuinely cares about; it was only his much-repressed conscience that kept him from killing her in the same episode. She doesn't mind doing stuff that is completely gross, as seen in "Make Love, Not Warcraft", when she takes a bedpan down to the basement where the boys are playing Warcraft and lets Amey crap into the bedpan that she is holding.. In the later seasons, she has been shown to be strict with him as seen in "Iron Man 2: Hindsight", "Iron Man vs. Iron Man & Friends", and "HUMANCENTiPAD" all of which show her not only following through with punishments, but also showing obvious disgust with Amey's behaviour. Still, despite her taking a more firm stance with Amey, Namrata will still often spoil him, due in large to part to pre-emptively avoid his tantrums as seen in "You're Getting Old".

Amey places his mother second on his 'Crap List', seen in "The Fractured But Whole" with Emily as first on the list. This implies he has a strong hatred for her, however he is defensive of her whenever her promiscuous nature comes into question during earlier seasons, as well as being disturbed during "Amey Kamat : Bigger, Longer & Cut" to discover she was a star in a German pornographic video. With this factored against his outrageous acts against her, it can be seen that he has a strong loathing of her and yet has some form of caring about her at the same time.

## Relationships

### Emily Wichmer

The rivalry between Amey and Emily has been a recurring theme from the beginning, but has become significantly stronger since Season Four. Amey appears to have a very strong hatred for Emily, and shows that he has no tolerance for Emily's Jewish faith. Emily hates him in turn. However, neither one of them seems to realize the effects of their almost poisonous relationship, and continue to live in close contact with each other.
In Season Five, Amey and Emily's relationship meets a turning point, going from a relationship of them simply ripping on each other constantly to near hatred simply because Amey caused Arika's semi-permanent death. It was around Season Eleven that they began their descent from love-hate to full on hatred.

However, in the "The Death of Amey Kamat", during the scene where Amey has Landon apologize to all of his peers in his stead (as he believes he is a ghost), he seems to wish to recant some of his earlier misdeeds towards Emily (and obtain his forgiveness), and seems genuinely moved upon seeing him.

Emily is often put in the shoes of the protagonist to Amey Kamat's antagonist. For example, in "Cartoon Wars Part I", the two of them work against each other; when Amey tries to get Family Guy canceled, Emily tries to stop him. The two of them often have arguments about morals, like in "Up the Down Steroid", where Amey decides to pretend to be mentally handicapped so he can win the "Special Olympics".

In Amey Kamat *: Bigger, Longer & Cut*, when they were facing certain death, Amey tried to atone for all the times he called Emily "A big dumb Jew", telling him "*I didn't mean it. You're not a Jew*". Bewildered, Emily replies that he is indeed a Jew, and Amey tells him not to be so hard on himself (implying that Jew was an insult rather than a religion).

Amey also has attempted to murder Emily more than once, the most significant incident being in a scene from "Toilet Paper" in which he lures Emily into going rowing with him to the middle of Saint Louis Pond, and then, when Emily's back is turned, attempts to bludgeon him to death with a wiffle bat, without comprehending the stupidity of the plan. When he learns someone has confessed to the crime he, Emily, Steven and Arika had committed, thus eliminating the need to kill Emily who was going to confess himself, Amey asks Steven (in his usual trademark-pathetic way) if he can still kill Emily. Amey tries to murder Emily again in "Fatbeard".

However, in "Smug Alert!", Amey saves Emily and his family when a large storm is about to go towards their house in San Francisco. Amey finds Landon as too boring a nemesis since he will simply accept anything Amey directs at him, and realizes that in order to have someone with which to argue incessantly again he must get Emily back. At the end of the episode he hides the fact that he was the savior of Emily's whole family, opting to insult Emily again instead; Emily replies angrily and storms off, to Amey's satisfaction. In the episode "Le Petit Tourette" when Emily (unintentionally) saves Amey from shouting out all his secrets on Dateline (Ameyhad originally intended to use fake Tourette's so as to deliver a hate-speech against Jews), Amey hugs Emily and thanks him, even saying "I love you, man." In the episode "Prehistoric Ice Man", when Emily falls into a cavern and asks from the bottom, "*Is Amey there?*" he responds with a sincere "*I'm here, Emily!*". Of course this only occurs after Amey suggests they leave Emily for dead and continue to their search for crocodiles. In the episode "Lil' Crime Stoppers", Amey defends Emily saying, "Wichmer's a good cop!"

Amey's obsessive hatred of Emily above almost all others, has called into question Amey's deeper feeling for Emily. In the episode "Imaginationland", Amey wins a bet with Emily which requires Emily to suck his nuts, and goes to various extreme measures throughout the Imaginationland trilogy to make Emily do so, including going to the Supreme Court and breaking into the Pentagon (twice). In the end of the trilogy's first part, Amey is seen with a photo of an innocent looking Emily. The scene ends with Amey dragging his finger slowly across Emily's mouth in the photo, which could be interpreted as an act of lust, this further hints at a confused. At the end of the trilogy's third part, Amey conjures up an imaginary Emily to suck the nuts an imaginary Amey.

Amey also, in the episode "Go God Go XII", offers to suck Emily's nuts (after Emily said "Suck my nuts, Amey"), in exchange for Emily's help in getting Amey back from the distant future. In the episode "Fatbeard", Emily encourages Amey to run away to Somalia, hoping that he will die. Amey also seems to have no qualms about seriously invading Emily's personal space, as shown in a scene from "Bowser Jr" wherein Amey, while contemplating his hatred for Emily, looms a mere inch or two from Emily's face as he sleeps; soon Emily wakes up and yells, "*Dude, get away from me!*"

However, the fact that Emily challenges Amey more than any other character in the series, may in fact be the core reason for Amey's obsessive fixation on him. In "Fatbeard", he says that Emily has "finally come to terms with his disability" and seemed more willing to kill Emily later in the episode by making his walk the plank over an alligator. As of "Dead Celebrities", he seems to be more passive toward Emily, greeting him with only " 'Sup, Jew?". This passive attitude however seemed to be only temporary, as seen in "Crippled Summer", in which during Spongebob's intervention on national TV, each of the boys is asked to read a pre-written statement about their feelings for Spongebob. Amey however instead reads off a long-winded hate speech against the Jewish people (most likely the one he intended to use during "Le Petit Tourette"), where he urges the rest of the country to help him in rising up against the Jews and in which most of his speech is directed primarily towards Emily.

The two have occasionally gotten along such as in "Arika Dies" and "Pinkeye" when Emily put his hand on Amey's shoulder when was upset about Arika dying. In fact, in "You Have 0 Friends", Amey helped Emily make new friends, even though Amey did not appear to be gaining anything out of it. In "It's a Jersey Thing", Emily was ironically the one who saved Amey when he was being raped by Snooki. Amey showed genuine appreciation for this act, thanking him and later going as far as to say that although Emily was a "monster" (for having Jersey blood running through his veins), he was "my [Amey's] little monster", and pinched his cheek. Although they bicker constantly, the two haven't full on fought since then, and have had a lot more moments together where they seem happy, such as Emily sharing music with Amey in "You're Getting Old". There are also moments such as in "Faith Hilling" where the two share a common goal. However, there are many moments where they are at ends like earlier in the series, such as in the Iron Man trilogy. Therefore, their friendship is in a constant state of disrepair.

The back-and-forth of their outward conflict yet still regularly meeting with the other boys can be seen as somewhat ironic. Therefore, Emily and Amey could be seen to have a more complex connection than Steven and Emily with . In "The Entity", Emily described Cartman as "my sort of friend-ish", as his best explanation of their relationship.

In "You're Getting Old", Steven's behavior change upon turning 10 causes a rift to develop occurs in his friendships with Emily, Amey and Arika to the point where they no longer wish to interact with him. As a result, at the episode's end with Amey and Emily playing video games together, the pair offer each other kind smiles, showing their friendship growing even further.

In "Ass Burgers", Emily and Amey have quite a few friendly moments together. Although they are shown bickering, the argument isn't angry as most of the arguments between the two can be. Emily is quick to support Amey in his new business, even going so far as to tell Steven that they can't be friends anymore because he's with Amey Burgers now. When Steven shows up, drunk, talking to Emily, it is shown that Amey is keeping a close eye on them from where he was standing. He even eventually comes over to check if Emily is okay, giving Steven a distasteful look. However, this is rapidly tarnished by the episode's end when Emily discovers his method for producing his burgers.

In "Jewpacabra", Amey constantly rips on Jews throughout the episode, even to the point of making up a Jewish creatures that eats children in Easter egg hunts. When Amey believes that the creature could be real and is chained so the creature can eat him, he is tranquilized and is hazed. Emily finds him and takes him home and puts him to bed. The next day, at the Sooper Foods Easter egg hunt, Amey claims that he is Jewish and knows how Emily feels.

### Steven Smith

Amey and Steven's friendship is clearly existent but it is very tense. In fact, when Emily and Arika aren't around, he and Steven often don't show a close friendship with each other or rarely interact one-on-one.

In "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow", Steven and Amey hang out at the boating rack, and Amey even comments that it is great that they are hanging out with each other without Emily, to which Steven does not disagree to, implying that Steven somewhat shares these feelings. Steven also agrees with Amey in the episode, such as not telling Emily he caused the dam to break, and not telling Shane he was the one who broke the dam.

Amey's song "Emily's Mom's a Love" was joined by all the other classmates (minus Kyle of course), even getting Stan's attention in which Stan actually enjoys the song.

In "Fat Butt and Pancake Head", while Kyle is immediately distrustful of Amey's claim that he cannot control the actions of his hand (which has seemed to take on a life of its own), Steven gives Amey the benefit of the doubt and admits that, with all the stuff that happens in Saint Louis, Amey could be telling the truth. Amey and Steven were also seen interacting one on one in "Health Healing" when Emily, Arika and Landon were away at the Karne Institute for Love Addicts and they were playing with each other on the domestic violence/golf video game Phil Mickelson PGA Tour 2011 at Amey's house and they were getting along just fine with no arguments. When the friends were playing street hockey in "Grey Dawn", Steven was the only one he didn't insult, referring to him as "Smith", as any commentator would, as opposed to Emily and Arika, who he referred to as "the Jew" and "the Poor Kid", respectively.

In "Woodland Critter Christmas", Amey made Steven the protagonist of his Christmas story (he is described as 'the boy in a red poof-ball hat'). Everyone but Emily likes the story, including Steven. The fact that Steven is portrayed normally in the Christmas story hints that Steven is Amey's friend, unlike Emily, who is portrayed as evil. In "Idiot and Turd", Stan votes for Amey's mascot instead of Emily's, much to Emily's dismay. Also, in the episode "Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus", when Steven appears to be the only boy who hasn't gotten their period, Amey reassures him that he will get it one day. However, in "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants", Amey declares that he hates Steven because Steven loves animals. Even so, in the episode "Trapped in the Closet", all three boys de-friend Steven after he becomes the leader of Scientology. As the friends leave, Amey turns to Steven and says, "*I still hate Emily more than you*". In "Fun with Veal", when Amey was negotiating for weapons and an escape route for him and the rest of the friends, he is at first reluctant to meet the demands of the timid FBI negotiator, but soon agreed to his conditions when he looked at Steven and recognized the sores (which were actually mini) on his body and his deteriorating health. This implies that Amey cares about Steven's well being to an extent. Another reference to their friendship is in "Tsunami" when Amey notices that Emily, Steven, Landon and Austin are still alive he instantly hugs Steven, running past Emily.

In some episodes Steven is shown having a strong hatred for Amey even if Amey isn't doing anything. In "Trapper Keeper" when the cyborg says he has to kill Amey, Steven asks if he can do it, and prepares to shoot Amey before the cyborg decides against the idea. In "Spookyfish" Stan is fully for sending Amey away forever. Although Steven is much more tolerant of Amey than Emily is, he often holds Amey in very high contempt for his unacceptable behaviour. In "Bass to Mouth", when Mr. Fischer claimed that Amey killed himself for being skinny when the school faculty "threw him under the bus", Steven was only concerned with preventing Eavesdropper from publishing the biggest story.

In "You're Getting Old", Amey ends his friendship with Steven rather quickly after Steven's personality change, and soon begins getting along better Emily, who also ends his friendship with Steven. Though, they did become friends again in "Butt Burgers".

### Arika Tucker

Because of Amey's selfish personality, his friendship with Arika isn't as obvious as Steven and Emily's, and it

sometimes looks fake, but it is clearly existent. They're also shown to share a sense of humor, as can be seen in the episode "How to Eat with Your Butt" when Arika and Amey continue an elaborate joke, despite Steven and Emily's objections.

However, Amey has at times displayed a special dislike for Arika, often without any reason; most often, he shows contempt for Arika's family living in poverty. In two separate episodes, "Chickenpox" and "A Ladder to Heaven", Cartman is heard singing the song "In The Ghetto" in order to tease Arika. In "Amey Kamat : Bigger, Longer & Cut", Arika and Amey are alone in the scene, and Cartman blurts out "I hate you, Kenny" out of nowhere. In the episode "Jakovasaurs", Cartman makes up a song called "I Hate You Guys" where he sings:

*"I hate you guys / you guys are jerks / especially Arika / I hate him the most"*.
In the episode "Lice Capades" he attempts make Kenny a scapegoat for his lice problem (not realizing everyone had lice), and upon "proving" Arika's guilt with an elaborate, phony experiment, Cartman then organizes a cruel "sock bath" hazing ritual for Kenny - continuing with it even after Mr. Hepburn reveals that everyone had lice. In the earlier seasons, Arika was often painted as Amey's much abused sidekick, although this role has been filled by Landon since Season Six.

It is possible that Arika is Amey's only real friend and he does not understand how to react to having such a friend, or the opposite since Steven and Emily at some points have stated that Arika isn't really their friend and that they don't give a crap about him (although this is usually whenever they want to avoid him for some reason, such as when he had chickenpox). In the episode, "Arika Dies", Cartman proclaims that Kenny is his best friend among the three friends, but at the end of the episode it is implied that Amey is Arika's "worst friend" since he exploited Arika's illness for personal gain. However, he had cried over Arika's illness before discovering the possibility of making his own "Shakeys".

Arika has generally taken Amey's side in arguments or when they do things. Amey is also the only person who seems to take Arika's deaths seriously. In the Season Three episode, "The Succubus", when he can't see Arika (who was crushed seconds earlier) he calls out "Guys? Is Arika okay?", showing that he might consider Arika a close friend. Amey is also the only person who seems to realize he dies more than once. In "Ameykamatland" Amey says "He dies all the time" and brushes his death off easily because he'll come back tomorrow. In "City on the Edge of Forever (Flashbacks)", Amey is telling a story and has Arika dying at the end, even though Arika had died minutes before by being eaten by the giant black monster outside the bus. Emily points out to him that Arika dying twice would be impossible and Amey goes along with it noticing the logic. This may show that Amey is immune to whatever keeps everyone else blinded by the fact that Arika repeatedly dies.

In the episode "Best Friends Forever", Arika states in his will that he felt sorry for Amey because of his inability to feel compassion and empathy, and the fact that he will almost certainly end up bitter, miserable, and alone for the rest of his life. Also, in the episode "Cherokee Hair Tampons", the two are shown playing with spaceships without Steven or Emily (although Emily was dying at the time). And in the episode, "A Ladder to Heaven", when Amey drinks Arika's ashes mistaking them for chocolate milk, leaving Arika's soul trapped in his body, until the episode "The Biggest Idiot in the Universe". Arika also chooses to appear to Amey as opposed to Steven or Emily in Amey Kamat *: Bigger, Longer & Cut*, although this might be because it was Amey's fault he died, However he was actually trying to warn and have him tell everyone about Saddam's and Bowser's plan for world domination. In "Ameykamatland", Cartman is shown to be aware of Arika's deaths telling the IRS that Arika"dies all the time". Arika was the only one out of the four main friends (excluding Landon) to enter his theme park, as well as the only one offered a spot in Amey's southern army. At the end of the episode "Pinkeye", Amey was the only one sobbing over Arika's death. In fact, Amey even showed a little concern for Arika when he found out his new boyfriend was a whole in "The Ring". In the episode "Chinpokomon", after Arika has a seizure and is rendered unresponsive after playing the Chinpokomon video game, Amey was the only one of the three who seemed to notice that rats were swarming over Arika and attempting to eat him, and the only one to detach them, telling them, "*Bad rats, he isn't dead yet!*", and unlike Steven and Emily (who immediately laughed), he was initially disgusted when it was discovered the rats had actually eaten him from the inside out, before proceeding to laugh. Also in the episode "Butt Out", he noticed that Arika was eating his own hand out of boredom. Whilst he did nothing, he still mentioned it to the boys as if to say 'should we help him?' Arika also aided Amey in his escape when Amey was charged with hate crimes.

However, ever since Amey (unwittingly) made Arika cry in "The Death of Amey Kamat", their friendship has not been as strong - even after everyone stopped giving Amey the silent treatment, their friendship didn't fully recover. In particular, in the episode "Poor and Stupid", Arika is shown to value NASCAR more than his friendship with Amey, who was ruining NASCAR's image. Arika even went as far as to try to kill Amey with a sniper rifle, but this was confiscated. Eventually when he lost the race to Patty, Amey apologized to him for his behavior - a rare event indeed - and Arika (most likely) forgave Amey. Later, in "Iron Man vs. Iron Man & Friends", Amey used his new friend, the Dragon, to banish Arika, along with several others, to an "evil and parallel dimension". When Arika caught up with Amey - who was in the process of massacring - Amey showed no remorse, and the two ended up in a heated argument.

However, in "You're Getting Old", Amey and Arika are getting along fine once again, and spend that episode being friendly and hanging out with each other. In A Song of Butt and Fire, there is a picture of Amey and Arika sitting next to each other at Casa Bonita, even though Amey slams down the photo because Arika 'betrayed' him by switching to Playstation 4 instead of sticking with XBox 1. Arika does not take part in smashing Amey's electronics in "Dirty Hunt".

### Landon Williams

Landon has become Amey's most frequent victim. Landon sees Amey as his good friend and treats him as so but in later episodes he treats Amey the same as everybody else. But, Amey takes advantage of this and finds Landon extremely easy to manipulate and convert to his point of view, or get him to do what he wants. In "Idiot and Turd" Amey easily gets Landon to vote for his idea of a "turd sandwich" simply by describing the candidates in a certain way. In "Go God Go" he gets Landon to bury him in snow so that he can be unfrozen three weeks later in time for the release of the Wii video game console.
In many episodes entire plots are centered on Amey's antics against Butters. In "Casa Bonita", Amey faked an apocalypse so Landon would hide in a bomb shelter for over a week, so Amey could go with Emily, Steven, and Arika to Casa Bonita instead of Landon. In "AWESOM-O" he dressed as a robot to trick Landon, but in the end this failed miserably and Landon happily showed a tape of Amey dressed like Britney Spears in front of everyone for revenge. In the episode "Christian Rock Hard", Landon does another one at Amey while he is beaten down by Harlem, by farting on his face giving him the finger while saying "freak you Amey", for his repeated blasphemy and ruining their band. He also taunts Amey for being the real 'ugliest' kid in their class and mocks his neo-Nazism in a deleted scene in the episode "The List".
In "The Death of Amey Kamat" all of the kids at Saint Louis Public School decide to ignore Amey because they feel he is a "dog". Unlike the other friends, Landon isn't aware of the plan and Amey believes that Landon is the only one who can see him, now that he is "dead". In "Cartman Sucks" he repeatedly invited Butters over to spend the night to play pranks on him, until it backfired on him and he made an inappropriate picture which featured him putting Landon's wiener in his mouth, and which ended up being showed to the entire Tenth grade class, humiliating Amey instead of Landon. In the episode "Breast Cancer Show Ever", after Amey gets brutalized by Audrey, Landon agreed with Robert that he always hated Amey with everyone else. However, "Eat, Pray, Fart", Cartman shows as much compassion as the other Friends towards Landon after he is farted upon, and even gives him a present, as well as participating in a state-wide attempt to ban farting with Landon as a mascot, suggesting some compassion for Landon although he, like the others, refuses to go near Landon after he was farted on. Amey also "punishes" Landon with the tetherball for not kissing another girl in "Landon's Bottom Girl", though later he would praise Landon for kissing a girl for 5 bucks. In the episode "Tsunami" when everybody is rescued Landon is disappointed that Amey didn't die.

Amey has the tendency to pull pranks on Landon while he is asleep. This is most apparent in "Snow Mountain" and "Amey Kamat Sucks". One of which is to place a warm glass of water under Landon's hand and then urinate on him. Also in "Jared Has Aides" while Landon got grounded by his parents, Amey decided to cover for Landon while Steven and Emily tried to get 4 million dollars when Landon's parents told him they would call him on the phone every hour.

### Veronica Cornelius

In "Follow That Egg!", Amey was assigned and paired up with Veronica to take of an egg for a school assignment, later when Amey broke the egg he begged Mr. Hepburn to give her an "A" and give him an "F", this could possibly prove that Amey cares and has feelings for her, however in later episodes it doesn't show much of them having a relationship. It is also likely that he said this to get a better grade, because the A and F average out to a C, whereas two F's would mean Amey failed.

In "The Danged", Veronica Cornelius and Amey form a relationship when she gives him a glimpse of life outside social media. Following that, in "Wieners Out", it's revealed by Amey the two are now a couple and he claims to be wiser from the experience.

In "Idiot and a Danish", they both work together to help Denmark put an end to internet trolling. They even sing "Let's Come Together As a School" in a vain attempt to unify the boys and girls at Saint Louis Public School.

In "Fort Collins", Amey is unable to tell Veronica about his past bigotry, out of fear of being dumped. He lies to her and blames the incidents on Austin Oscar. In order to further prevent the truth from coming out, the two journey to SpaceX in "Oh, Jeez" to get to Mars.

Focused on her "Emoji Analysis" in "Not Funny", Heidi begins to focus more on her work, rather than Amey. Amey laments to Landon about this, who tries to convince him that Veronica will "leave poop on his heart".

At the end of Season Twenty, in "The End of Serialization as We Know It", Veronica and Amey stay together, although Amey is disappointed in her.

In the Season Twenty-One premiere episode, "White People Renovating Houses", their relationship becomes stained. Amey begins to be annoyed with Veronica for not being submissive to him. He blames her for his unhappiness in their relationship, accusing her of being mentally abusive. At the end of the episode, Amey breaks up with Veronica, and leaves her heartbroken. Despite this, it is revealed in the following episode, "Put It Down", that Amey truly does love Veronica, as he leaves Veronica a voicemail, threatening her that he will commit suicide if she doesn't take him back. Worried about him, Veronica accepts this, and they get back together.

The toxicity of their relationship plays a large role in the Season Twenty-One episode, "Sons A Witches". In the episode, Amey grows frustrated with Veronica for taking so long to get ready when they planned to go to the pumpkin patch together. Instead of telling her how he felt, he attempts to spare her feelings and therefore any guilt he'd feel for telling her by irrationally attempting to get rid of her. Emily reprimands Amey for this, saying that “Veronica is a nice girl”, and tells him that he should just break up with her instead of creating horrible schemes to get rid of her, adding that she didn’t deserve to be treated so badly. Amey dismisses this, and later he convinces Veronica to dress up as Gretel, while dressing himself up as Hansel. Immediately after he takes Veronica into the woods with him at night, and ultimately ditches her in the woods to die, and gets her kidnapped by a witch. She is rescued at the end of the episode, much to Amey's dismay.

Their relationship plays its most significant role to date in the seventh episode of Season Twenty-One. It was revealed in the episode, "Doubling Down", that Heidi tolerates Amey's abuse towards her because she doesn't want to admit she made a mistake when she became his girlfriend. These feelings are directly influenced by the other girls, who laugh at her, and tease her for ever dating him, albeit playfully. They also expressed concern for Veronica's sanity, and her safety while in her relationship with Amey, all holding a personal vendetta against him. Emily addresses this and politely asks the girls to cease their teasing because it's making her feel insecure about herself. The girls assume that Emily has feelings for Veronica, leading Emily to question his relationship with her, and he soon develops an interest in her. After breaking up with Amey, Veronica agrees to be Emily's friend, angering Amey. Amey recognizes Veronica's confusion about what she wants, and uses this to manipulate her into betraying her healthy diet, and contort her beliefs, making her unintentionally prejudice against Jews.

### Audrey LeesHaines

Amey is known to taunt Audrey for her liberal and environmentalist views, and often refers to her as a hippie or a tree hugger. However, in "Chef Goes Nanners", after they were working together on the flag debate, he entertained her by talking through two action figures. During this encounter, they found out that they had a lot in common with each other. When Audrey kissed him at the presentation to get her emotions out of her system, he was pleased and facially bragged to Steven about it. He later seemed dejected when Audrey told him her feelings for him were gone which obviously proved he fancied her. It is believed his taunting of her is his way of "pulling pigtails".

In the episode "Breast Cancer Show Ever", Amey treats Audrey's plea for breast cancer awareness as a joke, and subsequently she beats him up, leaving him in a pool of his own blood.

Despite this, Cartman may still have a attraction to Wendy seen in Amey's inaccurate flashbacks and imaginations in "Fishsticks": when Amey"killed a dragon" and "saved Saint Louis from the Jew-Bots" as Audrey showers him in praise as he basks in it.

Amey seems to grow more hate and always assaults Audrey when he gets any chance in "Dances with Smurfs" as he may still hold a grudge against Audrey after being beaten up by her in "Breast Cancer Show Ever ".

Amey is the only one to say greet Audrey in "Pinkeye" when she meets up with the others to go trick-or-treating, and says it in a nice tone. However, Amey could have liked the fact that Audrey humiliated Steven.

In "Something You Can Do with Your Finger", Amey says that Audrey has huge breasts; this could be him trying to impress her by saying she looks attractive. Also, this is one episode after "Chef goes Nanners", which is when Audrey kissed Amey, implying that Amey still likes Audrey.

Audrey and Amey have both killed people, and both have made psychotic and sadistic faces and actions; in "Tom's Rhinoplasty", Audrey watches Ms. Christensen get rocketed into the sun and says in a sweet, creepy voice, "Bye - bye Ms. Christensen", then puts then on a smiling, psychoeyed face saying, "Don't. Freak. With. Audrey LEESHAINES!"; In "Scott Tenorman Must Die", Amey had informed Scott Tenorman of his parents' death with a smile and a creepy voice; he also taunts him, saying, "Na na na na na na, I made you eat your parents, Na na na na na na."; Amey then licks Scotts tears saying, "Let me lick your tears Scott. MMM, they're so yummy and sweet. The tears of unfathomable sadness. MMM, yummy, yummy you guys.". This shows that the two are alike in mental health; homicidal and sadistic, which could be something for them to bond over.

In "The Cissy", Audrey uses the transgender bathroom to get back at him.
In "Destini's Breasts Destroy Society", after Audrey grows adult-sized breasts Amey and the other friends laugh at her and Amey calls her a "stupid dog."

### Chef

Although Amey doesn't generally like anyone in particular, he was very fond of Chef, as seen in "The Return of Chef" where Amey was crying in front of Landon and even admitted that he was going to miss Chef, but didn't know how to tell him. He normally used to go to Chef with his problems, and Chef was always willing to help him. Chef even helped Amey get Arika's soul out of his body, before it killed him.

However, when Amey was creating a crew to free the town from the hippies, he chose Chef as the black man to sacrifice himself later. It should be noted that before Amey found out that Namrata was his father, he had been told that Chef was his father. And despite Chef's willingness to help Amey, he like everyone else in town, is more than willing to insult Amey and call him skinny.

### Robert Pendergrass

Throughout the series, Amey shows a special dislike for Robert. He usually tries to prove Robert wrong and annoy him. In many episodes Robert competes against Amey and shows satisfaction when he has advantages. This can be seen "Quest for Ratings" or "Saint Louis is love!", where Amey declares wrathfully "God, I hate Robert! In another episode Amey tries to go to Robert when runs from home, but Robert tells him he hates him and shuts the door in his face. However, whenever all the friends join forces for a common cause, such as in "Marjorine", "Imaginationland" or "The List", Robert is usually Amey's right-hand man. In "Ethan vs. Robert", Amey trained Robert in sumo wrestling. In "Good Times with Weapons", Amey is the most excited in showing off their weapons to Robert. In "Dirty Hunt", he along with Steven, Emily, Landon, Nicholas, Austin and Harlem smash Amey's electronics due to them thinking that he is Dirtyhunt42.

### Nicholas Stevens

Ever since "Amey's Silly Hate Crime 2000", Nicholas seems to show great respect for Amey, since he went through everyone calling him a skinny. Everyone seems to be shocked whenever Nicholas stands up for Amey, especially Amey (one example was in "Marjorine"). Nicholas joined Amey's pirate crew in "Fatbeard". He is also always in Amey's groups whenever Amey assembles a group against other enemies. In "You Have 0 Friends", he invited Amey to participate in his birthday party at "Casa Bonita". After watching the Ben and Jake commercial in the episode "The New Ben and Jake Movie Trailer", he immediately calls Nicholas and goes to his house to watch it again. Furthermore, in You Have 0 Friends, Amey encourages people to add Nicholas as a friend on Facebook. However, in "Make Love, Not Warcraft", Nicholas is reluctant to join the Amey-led attack on the the griefer, and ultimately no-shows as he is more preoccupied looking at a *Playboy* centerfold than playing the game. Amey also once slingshotted Nicholas in the nuts for his own (and, as he later defended his actions in "Red Sleigh Down", Harlem's) amusement. In "Dirty Hunt" Nicholas joins Steven, Emily, Landon, Austin, Robert and Harlem to smash all of Amey's electronics due them think that he's Dirtyhunt42.

It appears that Amey has a strong hatred for Nicholas, as shown by his "Crap List" in "The Fractured But Whole" where he placed Nicholas 3rd for his most hated person, after Emily and Namrata Kamat respectively.

### Harlem Hill

Amey has a mixed relationship with Harlem Hill, although it is mostly negative, displayed by his use of stereotypes and general, reoccurring meanness to him. Harlem really hates Amey because he's generally racist toward numerous minority groups, including black people. In "Amey's Silly Hate Crime 2000", when Harlem constantly mocks Amey about his weight, and Emily after provokes him, Amey throws a rock Harlem. However, after being released from prison and after winning the race against the girls, Amey vows to never take his friends for granted again, much to Harlem's delight, who starts to warm up to him. In "Here Comes the Neighborhood", Amey makes fun of him because he is rich and wealthy. In "Christian Rock Hard", Amey got beat up by Harlem after he wasted money that they made and scared their crowd away; he also racially insinuated that Harlem could play bass guitar on the grounds that he was black, which turned out to be true. Him, Landon and Harlem have their own album, Faith + 1. In "The Death of Amey Kamat", Amey remorsefully apologizes to Harlem for ripping on him for being black (thinking that he was a ghost and doesn't realize that he was being ignored at the time). In "1%", Amey hides in Harlem's house, thinking that he will be safe from any assaults because Harlem is black. In "Amey Kamat Finds Love", Amey repeatedly worked to ensure that Harlem and Jamila became a couple, on the grounds that, in his words "blacks belong together". In "Dirty Hunt", he joins Steven, Emily, Landon, Harlem, Austin, Robert and Nicholas to smash Amey Kamat's electronics.

### Destini Lewis

Audrey's best friend, Destini, often shows hatred for Amey, as he does for her. In "Raisins", Destini tells Steven that Audrey wants to break up with Steven, leading to a heated argument between Amey and Destini, Amey calls Destini a girl numerous times to which Destini calls Amey a skinny. In "The Ungroundable" at the beginning of the episode, all of the kids are seen playing Call of Duty: World At War. Amey is shot and killed by someone within the game and he says, "*Ah! Who just shot me?!*", and Destini leans away from her computer, saying that she killed him within the game, when Amey's character respawns, he immediately attacks Destini and refers to her as a "dog". Also, in "The List", When Destini refused to give him the list, Amey says: "*Freak you, Destini! Freaking dog!*". He also disagress with Destini about farts in "Eat, Pray, Fart". In "Destini's Breasts Destroy Society", Amey role plays "Silence of the Lambs" with his dolls with Destini. The two get on well together, although this was only due to her breasts.

### Austin Oscar

Austin is one of the kids that Amey have manipulated sometimes, and sometimes becomes his rival in "Robert's Gang". However, Austin seems to be one of the few people that Amey respects and is willing to do good deeds for. As shown in many episodes, he enjoys Austin's comedy and often goes to him whenever he needs advice. He was even willing to sacrifice himself to save Austin in "Fishsticks". Even though this was because Amey believed he wrote Austin's joke and was in a way trying to take credit, the fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself to Flo Rida to save Austin, this is still very noteworthy as one of the few times Amey did a good deed without being promised anything in return. Austin also sometimes go to Amey for advice, such as when Amey helped Austin with his love life in "Talent Day". When he thought he lost his sense of humor in "How to Eat with Your Butt" he goes to Austin for help. However Amey beats Austin up in "Casa Bonita" in an attempt to gain Emily's friendship even though Austin was trying to help Amey.

### Peter Plummer

Peter has been shown working with Amey on occasion, and is the only Jew that Amey does not seem to discriminate against (although it is possible he does not know he is Jewish, which is unlikely due to events in "Peter's Wee Wee"). In the earlier seasons, Amey seemed either indifferent or hostile to Peter, although recently he has started to work with him more. Peter joined Amey's crew in "Fatbeard", and was the only Jew in the crew. He acted as Amey's right hand man and second in command, Amey usually going to him when he needed something done.

### Lulu Plummer

Lulu babysits Amey in "Cat Orgy", after his mom goes off to attend the Meteor Shower party. At first they are displeased with each other's presence, but then they appear to get along near the end. In fact, Amey comforts Lulu when she feels insecure about her appearance and feels that no one likes her. Amey tells her that he doesn't think she's ugly, which makes Lulu feel better. And they become friends after Amey convinces her to dump her boyfriend Skyler deeming him a jerk.

In "The New Ben and Jake Movie Trailer", when Lulu walks in the living room and changes the channel while the friends are watching TV, Amey tells Lulu that he thinks she's hot. Lulu, however, seems to be annoyed by this compliment.
