Cartman VS. Kyle

[Jitterdoomer]

Who do you like more? Mines Kyle because he's a nice dude not like Cartman who was a bigot of himself in the show.

I like Cartman as he brings home the funny.

This is a tough one. I would say a draw

Kyle by far in my case.

Kyle all the way. Fatass can suck it. His picking on Kyle because he's secretly in love with him means he would enjoy it, too.
On top of that, Kyle would kick his ass in a fight. And if memory serves, he has. (Man I loved the end of Christmas in Canada.)

Of course, in the classic comedy trope of the buffoon and the straight man, Kyle is the consummate straight man and Lardo is the outrageous buffoon whose antics bounce off the straight man. You can have one without the other for a little while, but eventually they need to check back in with each other. That's why episodes where it's just Cartman being insane make me feel like punching him while the ones where he and Kyle are going at it means I have Kyle on "my" side fighting against Eric's stupidity/insanity/dickishness and I enjoy those episodes more.

Cartman rules

[bprado]

Cartman is only tolerable because he´s clearly a caricature and a villain.
