Worst 2025: Eric Cartman (South Park)
Cartman is the Worst. Of 2025.
That is it.
Honestly. I shouldn’t need to explain myself here. Cartman is the worst person in South Park. And there are horrible people in South Park. Lots of them.
Still, what makes Cartman the worst is that he knowingly knows it. A good percentage of the citizens of South Park are bad because they are stupid but Cartman is the worst and he knows it.
He will go out of his way to do something bad because of whatever selfish reason he wants. If Eric Cartman doesn’t get his way then he will do what he has to in order to get his way. Usually hurting and/or manipulating all along the way.
The best example of this was the Casa Bonita episode. Where everybody in the friend group was invited to go to Casa Bonita except Cartman. Instead sweet, innocent and goodest boy ever Butters was invited to go.
And what does Cartman do? Surely he just sulk about it and eventually let it go. Maybe get a bit upset about it. After all it doesn’t take a lot to do and would be the normal thing a person does.
No! Cartman plots up a whole scheme where he lucks Butters in a doomsday bunker and fake a zombie apocalypse. Cartman even goes ahead and puts on fake blood to sell the whole thing. Pretty much doing all this extra work instead of actually doing what a normal person does.
And gosh forbid he takes a moment and wonders why he wasn’t invited to Casa Bonita. Then maybe he would be able to do some self improvement. Still, that may be asking too much from a 9 year old.
Either way, poor Butters, his mother and friends have to deal with Cartman’s horrible ways in any Cartman focus episode.
Still, this leads to the best part of any Cartman episode. When Cartman gets his just desserts. Like in the episode where he takes Butter’s money to fix up his hot dog house hut to make it a proper business with fun things that Cartman wanted. Only to force Butters to work in it to make his money back. Butters works so much that he was able to buy Cartman’s mom a new house and get Cartman back into his proper home. The best just desserts because Cartman’s life got better but he lost what he really wanted. And then Cartman cried so much while Butters was happy. Which makes me happy.
Cartman is an arrogant, racist, manipulative, self important person to have ever walked South Park. That is why he is the Worst. Not the Best Worst.
And here is a picture of Cartman getting a well deserved punch from Wendy. Because why not.
