10 Worst Things Eric Cartman Has Ever Done

8. Campaigning to Have Kenny Die

Comedy Central

There is a strange dynamic between Cartman and Kenny in the show. Kyle and Stan have always seemed like the closest friends, and there are times when the show hints at a similar set-up between Cartman and Kenny. But, just as often as this is implied, we are reminded that Cartman is a selfish monster who only cares for himself and no others. This is particularly obvious in the episode Best Friends Forever.

In this episode Kenny dies after being struck by an ice-cream truck playing on his new PSP. In his will, he gifted the PSP to Cartman, and just before it came his, news surfaced that Kenny was not yet dead but in a vegetative state. A real friend would be pleased to hear this news, but as we know of Cartman, he is distraught because he won't get the gaming system.

He, therefore, begins a campaign as Kenny's BFF to have his feeding tube removed and allowing him to die. All to get the PSP.

It's hardly surprising as we've seen this kind of behaviour from Cartman regularly, but it's still a heart-breaking way to show once again how little this child cares about his friends.
