Kyle (South Park.)

About

Kyle B. [5] Broflovski is the second most prominent member of Stan’s Gang and one of South Park’s main characters, alongside Eric Cartman, Stan Marsh, and Kenny McCormick. Loosely based on co‑creator Matt Stone, Kyle is the only Jewish family—and the only non-Christian family—in South Park. He is often celebrated for this unique identity, as well as his remarkable intelligence. Much like how Kyle is loosely inspired by Matt Stone and his “Jewfro” hairstyle reflects Matt Stone’s own past look, Kyle’s Jewish heritage stems from the fact that part of Matt Stone’s family practices Judaism—though, unlike Stone, Kyle has no gentile background or lineage anywhere in his family. He is the only one of The Boys who has never been shot. He is the only one of The Boys whose name doesn’t appear in an episode (though in the title card for the “Imaginationland” trilogy, the tagline read, “Kyle Sucks Cartman’s Balls”—a playful jab). Kyle celebrated his tenth birthday in “Casa Bonita,” though he wasn’t officially 10 until 2011. While it was never explicitly stated whether it was his ninth or tenth birthday—since he was already nine in “Cartmanland”—it’s safe to assume that “Casa Bonita” marked Kyle’s tenth birthday, and he was officially declared ten years old in “Crack Baby Athletic Association.” In “Cherokee Hair Tampons,” Kyle was introduced as having diabetes—but just as Stan’s inhaler was briefly mentioned in “Sexual Harassment Panda,” Kyle’s condition was never revisited in subsequent episodes. Kyle Broflovski faces more physical health challenges than any other character on the show—including Scott Malkinson and Sophie Gray—largely due to his diabetes. Despite these ongoing health issues, Kyle is incredibly physically strong, especially when he’s angry. He and Cartman are the only members of The Boys who share the same hair color as their mothers. Stan has his father’s hair color, and Kenny doesn’t inherit either of his parents’ hair colors—unless you count Butters as one of “The Boys”—but Kenny despises his hair for its height and texture. Though he’s the only character ever mentioned as sharing a first name with another character—his cousin Kyle Schwartz—he’s far more than just another character with the same first name. Kyle Broflovski is the only character in the series to share a first name with someone who is actually related to him. According to Cartman in “The End of Obesity,” Kyle has freckles. He is the only one of the boys who doesn’t have straight hair—or average-length hair. Kyle has diabetes and contracts bird flu in the Season 27 trailer. He’s also the only one of the four boys who isn’t Christian; instead, he’s Jewish. Kyle is the only member of The Boys who wasn’t born in Colorado—he was conceived in New Jersey. Stan, Cartman, and Kenny are all from South Park. Unlike Cartman, but much like Stan and Kenny, Kyle is kind, sweet, tender, and deeply sensitive. Kyle’s two closest friends are Stan and Kenny. Kyle Facts Kyle is the smartest of The Boys, though he occasionally—very rarely—becomes a bit arrogant about it. His intelligence has long been both stereotyped and satirized in the show, with some suggesting his intellect is tied directly to his faith. Yet Kyle rarely lets his smarts go to his head; in fact, this very trait reveals his deeply moral and humble nature—much like Kenny, though Kenny never becomes boastful or overconfident. Throughout the series, Kyle’s skills and intelligence have proven invaluable in countless episodes, where he consistently puts his sharp mind to good use. Among the main group, he’s the only one without naturally straight hair—and the only one of his faith, particularly the only one who doesn’t belong to the Roman Catholic branch of Christianity, nor is he Christian at all, really. He’s the only boy who wears a “big hat,” likely because his hair is so thick and voluminous. Kyle has often been portrayed as a character who remains single and unattached romantically—though he did express interest in Heidi Turner during storylines or arcs where Cartman was dating her, and even earlier, he showed a fondness for Rebecca Cotswolds. Kyle has a cousin named Kyle Schwartz, who shares his first name. Kyle Schwartz is the son of Kyle’s unnamed maternal aunt—a relative Kyle’s mother, Sheila, had only briefly mentioned in Kyle Schwartz’s introduction episode, never to be brought up again. In fact, Kyle Schwartz was never seen or heard in the series. Kyle is so embarrassed by his cousin Kyle that, in Kyle Schwartz’s debut episode, he tried to have him either killed off or sent back to his hometown of Connecticut. Like Matt Stone, Kyle Broflovski sports reddish hair styled in a “Jewfro,” much like Stone himself once wore. At one point, Trey and Matt even considered writing Kyle off entirely, replacing him with Butters, because they felt Kyle was too similar to Stan—just as Parker and Stone are strikingly alike in real life, given that Stan and Kyle are loosely based on their respective creators. However, Trey and Matt ultimately decided to keep Kyle around, partly because of his comedic potential in his strained relationship with Cartman, and partly because Stone and Parker had grown tired of constantly trying new ways to kill off Kenny—and so they settled on permanently retiring Kenny from the series… until that decision was reversed. Kyle loves to study and often appears deeply passionate about learning and earning high grades. Kyle’s signature catchphrases include: “I had to see it to believe it!”, “Jesus Christ! I had to see it to believe it!”, and “YOU BASTARDS!” Just as Stan has a chronic condition that’s never revisited—Stan being an asthmatic—Kyle is a diabetic. Trey Parker and Matt Stone originally intended to give Kyle reddish hair styled in a Jewfro, symbolizing Stone’s own reddish-toned hair, which he once sported in a Jewfro style when he was younger. Parker and Stone also wanted to give Kyle a Russian–Polish–Jewish surname, so they chose the last name Broflovski for him. Kyle Broflovski faces more physical health challenges than any other character on the show—including Scott Malkinson and Sophie Gray—largely due to his diabetes. Despite Cartman’s claim in “Ginger Kids” that Kyle has fair skin, a regular white complexion, and no freckles, in the Paramount+ special “The End of Obesity,” Cartman notes that Kyle is “a dumb, ugly ginger with freckles.” This suggests that while Kyle is animated to appear without freckles, he actually does have them—just like his adopted younger Canadian brother, Ike. In “The Passion of the Jew,” Kyle was deeply shaken by Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” (simply referred to as “The Passion” in South Park), and his Jewish faith was profoundly tested. He became remorseful and shaken, even going so far as to urge other Jews to apologize for the death of Jesus in his temple or synagogue. Kyle was conceived in Newark, New Jersey, but his mother moved to South Park, Colorado, while she was pregnant with him—and he was born and raised there. In “Cherokee Hair Tampons,” Kyle is introduced as having diabetes. According to “Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow,” like many Jews, Kyle keeps a small “Jew gold” charm around his neck, carrying a fake piece to safeguard the real one—and according to that episode, all Jews wear a “Jew gold” charm around their necks, keeping a fake version to protect the genuine article. He is the only one of the main boys who doesn’t have straight hair—and the only one with thick, voluminous hair. Catchphrases “YOU BASTARDS!” “I had to see it to believe it!”[6] “Jesus, I should’ve known!” “Whoa, dude!” “No, it’s not cool!” “Dude, weak.” “Shut up, fatass!” “Good job, fatass!” “What the hell are you doing, fatass?” “You’re such a fatass, Cartman.” “Don’t belittle my people, you f*cking fatass!” Background Kyle begins the series convinced that Cartman has been probed by aliens—and he spends much of the episode trying to convince Cartman of this while also working to rescue his baby brother, Ike. Kyle and his friends spend the rest of the episode attempting to save Ike, and Kyle succeeds in bringing him home. The episode ends with Cartman suffering from pinkeye and feeling utterly distraught. Kyle comes from a Jewish household. During holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, he sometimes feels left out, as the rest of the town is predominantly Christian, and Kyle can’t celebrate Christmas. He is an American Jewish boy of Russian and Polish descent. Religious Beliefs Kyle is Jewish, though this detail isn’t officially revealed until “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo,” despite brief mentions in the second “The Spirit of Christmas” short and in “Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride.” It was also referenced in “An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig.” Cartman frequently makes derogatory remarks about Jewish people—often directly in Kyle’s presence—specifically to provoke him. Kyle seems to hold mixed feelings toward Judaism, and there’s conflicting evidence regarding his family’s religious practices—for example, while they dress similarly to many observant Jews (Gerald, for instance, always wears a yarmulke), they apparently don’t observe the Sabbath or follow strict sexual guidelines (Sheila Stone, Matt Stone’s mother, was herself a secular Sephardic Jew). Kyle’s apparent indifference toward religion may stem from his desire to fit in with his mostly Roman Catholic friends. While Kyle is often defensive rather than proud of his faith, he regularly attends events like “Jew Scouts,” yet his understanding of his religion’s history, traditions, and rituals often remains limited. Though he becomes more knowledgeable in later seasons, this could be attributed to his parents’ misguided efforts to shield him from the complexities of their faith. Whether Kyle can truly be called an “infidel”—meaning someone disloyal to his religion—is debatable. For example: In “Starvin’ Marvin,” Kyle is seen eating ham at King Jimmy’s Buffet. Either he doesn’t know that ham isn’t kosher, or he simply doesn’t adhere to Jewish dietary laws. It’s worth noting that Kyle’s parents were present at the time. (Though Kyle might just belong to a non‑kosher sect within Judaism.) When Kyle learned that his adoptive brother Ike was scheduled for a bris, he mistakenly believed the procedure involved cutting off the entire penis—rather than just the foreskin. This misunderstanding occurred despite the fact that Kyle himself had been circumcised—as a young child, he didn’t remember the procedure and hadn’t realized he’d been circumcised. (Though this could be excused, since neither of his parents had ever explained circumcision to him before, and Chef’s misinterpretation of the process led Kyle to develop the wrong idea.) After watching Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” Kyle reluctantly admitted to Cartman that Cartman had been right all along about the Jews—and he stood up in his synagogue to demand that the Jewish community apologize for the death of Christ. Ironically, Kyle himself played a role in killing Jesus in “Fantastic Easter Special,” though his actions weren’t driven by malice; instead, Jesus requested it himself—to resurrect and save Stan and the “Hare Club for Men” from being boiled alive like rabbits. Initially, Kyle was hesitant to agree to Jesus’ request, concerned about the implications of a Jewish person killing Christ. Ultimately, he agreed only on the condition that Eric Cartman would never learn of the incident—echoing the widely debated and controversial claim that Judas betrayed Christ at Jesus’ request, not out of malicious intent. When Kyle learned of the Catholic Church’s conditions for entering Heaven, he renounced his faith, reasoning that if the Jews were right about the matter, it wouldn’t matter whether he was Catholic—but if the Catholics were right, he would end up in Hell for refusing to accept Christ. In “Chickenpox,” when his father explained how society works, Kyle came up with a “better idea”: to send all the poor people to concentration camps, leaving only the wealthy to survive. Gerald quickly realized that his plan was intolerant toward those less fortunate than himself and stopped it immediately. This shows that, at least early in the series, Kyle didn’t fully grasp the Holocaust or other forms of genocide. Despite being Jewish, Kyle seemed genuinely excited about the Baconalia event happening at the local Denny’s. Cartman used “bacon-filled pancakes” as bait to lure Kyle into joining the Crack Baby Basketball League. Although Kyle isn’t seen eating bacon, his enthusiasm raises questions about whether he adheres to kosher dietary laws as part of his Jewish faith.[7] In “Cartmanland,” Kyle briefly renounces his faith after developing a hemorrhoid—while Cartman inherits a million dollars and buys a theme park. However, his faith is restored when Cartman loses control of the theme park and runs into trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. Talents According to Mr. Garrison, Kyle is a “smart” student who consistently earns A+ grades. Alongside the other boys, Kyle is portrayed as possessing a wide range of useful—and sometimes trivial—talents. Yet, in rare moments, he’s also shown to be somewhat ignorant, much like most children. Knowledge of the Universe In “The Tooth Fairy Tats 2000,” Kyle begins to question reality after discovering that the Tooth Fairy isn’t real. He devours every psychology, reality, and science book ever written, eventually leading him to wonder whether he truly exists. By the episode’s end, Kyle seems to fade from existence, slipping into a godlike state for a time—distorting reality and conjuring a giant squirrel–chicken hybrid. In the end, he returns to normal, shrugging off the experience. Later, toward the end of “Cartman’s Incredible Gift,” Kyle screams at Cartman and the other “psychic” detectives, causing the lights to flicker and the shelves behind his hospital bed to shake, sending their contents crashing to the floor. Video Gaming Kyle owns an Xbox and is often seen playing video games with Stan, Kenny, and Cartman. In “Guitar Queer-O,” the boys praise Kyle and Stan’s skill on Guitar Hero 123—and later in the episode, they reach the million-point mark together in co-op mode—a feat once thought nearly impossible. In “Whale W*****,” Kyle is shown playing guitar or bass in Rock Band, performing the song “Poker Face.” Sports Kyle has played numerous sports, including basketball, football, baseball (though he admits he can’t stand baseball and secretly hoped to lose the game[8]), soccer, hockey, and dodgeball. He’s remarkably athletic. Kyle is known as one of the top basketball players at South Park Elementary—one of only two sports where Stan isn’t the best (the other being dodgeball, where Pip is considered the star). However, in “Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina,” Kyle tries out for the all-state basketball team—and is rejected not because of his skills, but because he’s short and Jewish (rather than tall and Black). Strangely, Kyle wasn’t on the basketball team in “Elementary School Musical,” perhaps to avoid making him too active in the latest trend. Kyle has stated that he hopes to play for the Denver Nuggets someday. On the football team, however, he’s exceptionally talented. He scores a touchdown, showcasing his skills. He plays guard in basketball, wide receiver in football, and second base in baseball. He even claims to be better at basketball than Cartman—because Cartman is fat.[9] Music In “Hooked on Monkey Phonics,” Kyle plays the guitar to serenade home-schooled Rebecca, singing to her—and Rebecca responds by tossing him money. He also performs with the boy band Fingerbang in “Something You Can Do with Your Finger.” Together with Stan, he attempts to reach one million points in co-op mode on Guitar Hero in “Guitar Queer-O.” And in “Elementary School Musical,” he’s seen performing a musical number. He also plays bass in the boys’ band Moop. However, when it comes to dancing, Kyle doesn’t seem to have much rhythm—like in “Rainforest Shmainforest,” where he keeps messing up every time the group performs (though in “Elementary School Musical,” the main boys perform a long, complex dance routine flawlessly). In “Mecha-Streisand,” Kyle shouts after Robert Smith, “‘Disintegration’ is the best album ever!” Computer Skills Kyle demonstrates relatively strong computer skills, as seen in “The Snuke,” where he uses public resources to thwart a terrorist threat posed by a Soviet-style militant. In the film, he initiates research on the clitoris and accidentally stumbles upon pornography featuring Liane Cartman. When arrested by the Japanese government for eco-terrorism in “Whale W*****,” Stan enlists Kyle’s help—while remaining in South Park—to manipulate an image showing a dolphin and whale in the Enola Gay into appearing as a cow and chicken. Kyle is also active on social media platforms like Facebook and frequently uses popular electronic devices such as Apple’s iPad in “HUMANCENTiPAD.” During the events of “Bass to Mouth,” he solves the mystery of who’s behind the Eavesdropper website scandal by tracking the IP address within the school. He’s widely regarded as having the best technological skills in his entire class. Writing and Poetry Kyle occasionally phrases his thoughts in a poetic way when he speaks philosophically, questioning reality and the reasons behind the world as we know it. In “Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods,” Mr. Garrison begins teaching the class about haiku—a form of poetry—but stops when he notices Cartman isn’t in the classroom. Shortly afterward, Kyle spontaneously composes three haiku, each laced with insults directed at Cartman. In “The Wacky Molestation Adventure,” Kyle learns that Cartman had three extra tickets for the 28th row at the Raging Pussies concert—but Kyle’s mom tells him he can’t go unless he’s finished all his chores and has successfully brought democracy to Cuba (a task she deems impossible). This prompts Kyle to write a letter to Fidel Castro, who is ultimately persuaded to bring democracy to Cuba after reading Kyle’s innocent, persuasive rhymes, lyrics, and words. Kyle also takes a leading role in co-authoring “The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs” with the other boys in “The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.” Languages In “Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime 2000,” Kyle speaks Pig Latin with remarkable ease—even managing to outpace Stan in conversation. He can also speak and understand Marklar fluently. Superhero Alter-Ego See: Human Kite Health Kyle gets sick more often than any of the other boys—despite Kenny’s repeated deaths. He develops a painful, infectious hemorrhoid when Cartman inherits $1 million from his grandmother and uses it to buy his own amusement park in “Cartmanland.” He also suffers from kidney failure and requires a kidney transplant in “Cherokee Hair Tampons.” In “Guitar Queer-O,” illness prevents Kyle from practicing Guitar Hero as much as Stan does. By contrast, in “Chickenpox,” he’s the only person in his class who doesn’t easily catch the disease—even after playing a game where Kenny spits into his mouth and he’s forced to swallow it while saying, “Ooky Mouth.” Eventually, after prolonged exposure to Stan and Cartman, he does contract the illness—but his case is far more severe than those of the other children. Kyle and Cartman share the AB negative blood type, as revealed in “Cherokee Hair Tampons.” It was also revealed in “Cherokee Hair Tampons” that Kyle is diabetic—which may be the root cause of his many health concerns. He’s also shown to have poor oral health after receiving two dental fillings in “You Have 0 Friends.” List of Health Problems Chickenpox (possibly shingles) in “Chickenpox” (semi-serious—Kyle faints and collapses backward, but he’s stabilized at the hospital.) Kidney Failure in “Cherokee Hair Tampons” (fatal unless he receives a kidney match for his AB- blood type; Stan tricks Cartman into donating a kidney.) Type I Diabetes, mentioned in “Cherokee Hair Tampons.” Hemorrhoid in “Cartmanland” (becomes severely infected—Kyle nearly gives up on life after a religious crisis. The condition leads to heart failure. Stan wheels Kyle to the amusement park; Kyle regains hope when he witnesses Cartman’s tantrum.) Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) in “Make Love, Not Warcraft.” Died of AIDS in “Woodland Critter Christmas” (in Cartman’s storyline)—though he actually contracted AIDS in “Tonsil Trouble.” He was cured of AIDS through a cash injection. Suffered from the common cold during the events of “The Snuke,” but recovered by the episode’s end. While not directly related to his health, the following incidents put his life at risk: He nearly dies in a Smug Storm in “Smug Alert!”—but Cartman saves him. He dies in “Imaginationland, Episode II” from a ManBearPig attack—but Cartman revives him. He dies in “Imaginationland, Episode III” from a missile fired by Al Gore (reimagined by Butters). He bangs his head in “Cartman’s Incredible Gift.” Another example of his poor health is contracting bird flu in the Season 27 trailer. Grounded Moments Like the other boys, Kyle is rarely grounded. He regrets most of the punishments he receives. Kyle has been grounded on the following occasions: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut – Kyle was grounded for two weeks along with the other boys for going to see an R-rated Terrance and Phillip movie—which ultimately leads to Kenny’s death. “Fun with Veal” – Kyle, along with the rest of the boys, was grounded for keeping calves from being slaughtered and sold as veal—and for defying his parents when he referred to his mother, Sheila, as a “baby cow-killing b****.” “Butt Out” – Kyle was grounded for three weeks for smoking outside school with the other boys and for accidentally starting a fire on campus. “Major Boobage” – Kyle’s parents grounded him in this episode after catching him hiding a cat—and mistakenly thinking he was cheating when, in fact, Kyle was simply keeping the cat away from Kenny. However, his grounding was quickly lifted after his father, Gerald—who later cheats—was caught in a massive scandal. Criminal Record Kyle has committed various crimes throughout the series. Child Abuse: He’s said, “Ready Ike? Kick the baby!” and kicked his brother, Ike, around like a football numerous times—such as in “Cartmen Gets an Anal Probe” and “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut”—though Ike somehow manages to avoid injury in each of these instances. Negligence: In “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” Kyle leaves Ike behind at the bus stop, resulting in Ike’s abduction by Visitors. Kyle spends the rest of the episode trying to get him back. In “Ike’s Wee Wee,” he places Ike on a freight train bound for Lincoln, Nebraska, in an attempt to stop his parents from circumcising Ike. Upon arrival, Ike is used as a table stand at a bar there. In “The Wacky Molestation Adventure,” Kyle plays football with Ike and asks him to throw the ball—but when Ike tries to throw it, he accidentally drops it on himself, sinking into the snow. When Kyle tries to help Ike, his friends interrupt and invite him to The Raging Pussies, and Kyle forgets about Ike being stuck. Later in the same episode, after Kyle and Ike’s parents are arrested, Ike is shown sticking a fork into a toaster. Drug Abuse (Taking Hallucinogens): He’s taken hallucinogenic drugs—such as LSD or acid—in “Smug Alert!” False Imprisonment: In “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” following Wendy’s advice, Kyle ties Cartman to a tree, using him as bait to lure the Visitors back to Earth—and to create an opportunity to rescue Ike. In “Spontaneous Combustion,” Kyle and Stan, as part of a passion play at Stan’s church, tie Cartman to a cross and place him atop a nearby hill. Instead of untying him, they leave him there, believing he’ll die and rise again—helping to solve his father’s impotence in some way. Filing False Police Reports: In “The Wacky Molestation Adventure,” Kyle lies to the police about his parents abusing him. Attempted Assisted Suicide: In “Death,” he tries to help Stan kill his grandfather at Stan’s request—after Stan has lost his will to live. Their attempt fails. Underage Smoking: In “Butt Out,” Kyle and the other three boys smoke because they don’t want to be like the adults who constantly warn them about how harmful smoking is—and because the “Butt Out” assembly hall told them that if they didn’t smoke, they’d end up just like those adults. Eavesdropping: Along with Stan, he secretly records Cartman playing with dolls in “Cartman’s Mom is a Dirty S***.” Despite their counselor Mr. Mackey’s assurance that this is legal, eavesdropping is still considered a crime under the law—since it involves secretly recording someone’s conversations without their consent, making it illegal. Using Illegal Fireworks: At the end of “Summer Sucks,” Kyle and Stan use two Tijuana bottle rockets smuggled into the U.S. by Jimbo and Ned to destroy the giant snake firework threatening the entire United States. Using fireworks of this kind is illegal in the state of Colorado. Trespassing: In “Chef’s Chocolate Salty Balls,” he ventures into the sewers to visit Mr. Hankey. In “Cartmanland,” he attempts to break into Cartman’s theme park—but pops his hemorrhoid trying to get in, landing him in the hospital. Assault: Enraged by Cartman’s wasteful spending at the Cow Day festival in “Cow Days,” Kyle attacks him. He’s also assaulted Cartman in numerous other episodes. Academic Fraud: In “Gnomes,” Kyle and his study group (his friends and Tweek) use the essay Tweek’s dad wrote for them. This is academic fraud, because they’re claiming credit for a piece of work they didn’t actually write. Burglary: In “Prehistoric Ice Man,” he breaks into Dr. Mephesto’s laboratory and frees Larry. Assault/Fighting: In “Prehistoric Ice Man,” he gets into a dispute with Stan over Larry’s name—Kyle calls him “Steve,” while Stan calls him “Gorak”—which ultimately escalates into a brawl at the train station. Conspiracy to Commit Treason: In “Chinpokomon,” he gets caught up in the Chinpokomon craze. As a result, he’s brainwashed by the Japanese into launching an attack on Pearl Harbor—but his parents stop him through reverse psychology and wise words from Stan. Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction/Manslaughter: In “World Wide Recorder Concert,” in an effort to outdo the New York kids at Yoko Ono’s recorder concert, Kyle and his friends alter their sheet music to include the “brown note”—so that when the New York kids play their music, they’ll lose bowel control, soiling their pants and humiliating them. However, the organizers discover the revised sheet, believing it’s meant for the entire performance—and the fake sheet music is distributed to every single child at the concert. As a result, the brown note—backed by the lungs of over four million American third-graders—is heard around the globe, with disastrous consequences and, in at least one case, loss of life. Still, The Boys manage to impress the New York kids. Organized Criminal Activity: In “The Tooth Fairy Tats 2000,” he becomes involved in the tooth trade. Attempting to Facilitate a Prison Escape/Smuggling Contraband into a Correctional Facility: In “Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime 2000,” he tries to give Cartman a cake containing a file to help him escape prison. However, due to prison regulations prohibiting inmates from bringing food into their cells, he fails to deliver the cake. That said, he does manage to give Cartman cigarettes. Drug Abuse: In “Timmy 2000,” Kyle and all of South Park get high on Ritalin. In “Butt Out,” he and the boys take up smoking. In “Quest for Ratings,” Kyle and the rest of the Sexy Action School News team get high on cough medicine—using it as a hallucinogen to brainstorm ideas for their next show. In “Smug Alert!,” he takes acid to cope with his father’s newfound smugness from owning a hybrid and living in San Francisco. Framing/Lying to Law Enforcement: In “The Wacky Molestation Adventure,” he claims to have been molested to get his parents sent to prison. His parents are promptly arrested and, without a formal trial, are sent directly to prison. Civil Unrest/Rioting: Participant in the gender war at South Park Elementary in “Proper Condom Use.” False Imprisonment / Trespassing: In “The Entity,” he tricks his cousin Kyle Schwartz into boarding a freight plane bound for Antarctica. False Advertising: In “Jared Has Aides,” he, along with Stan and Cartman, attempts to create an ad campaign for City Wok in the style of Subway’s Jared campaign—claiming that Butters lost weight by eating there—when in reality, they simply performed liposuction surgery on him (see below). Performing Surgery Without a License: In “Jared Has Aides,” he, along with Stan and Cartman, performs liposuction surgery on Butters—as part of the fraudulent promotion for City Wok (see above). Terrorism/Burglary/Theft: In “Fun with Veal,” Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Butters—disgusted after discovering that veal comes from baby calves—rescue several of them and bring them to Stan’s house, barricading themselves in Stan’s room and refusing to leave. After a long standoff with the authorities, they’re eventually captured and arrested—but they do succeed in forcing the FDA to change the name of veal to “tortured baby cow meat,” causing veal demand to plummet and saving the calves from their fate. Arson: In “Butt Out,” he and the other boys accidentally burn the school to the ground. He also causes a fire in preschool that leaves Miss Claridge with serious, life‑threatening burns. Burglary/Theft: In “The Simpsons Already Did It,” he, Stan, Cartman, and Tweek—thinking they accidentally killed Ms. Choksondik by putting brine shrimp in her coffee (the news reporting semen—misheard as “Sea-Men”—was discovered in her stomach)—attempt to cover their tracks by breaking into the morgue and stealing the semen sample recovered from her. Breaking and Entering: In “Free Hat,” he, Stan, Cartman, and Tweek break into Skywalker Ranch in an attempt to steal the original print of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” hoping to prevent it from being remastered. However, they’re caught in the act. Vandalism: In “Toilet Paper,” he and the boys toilet-paper their art teacher’s house. Despite the relatively mild nature of this crime, Kyle feels extreme guilt—and even suffers nightmares about the (nonexistent) terror he helped inflict on the teacher and her family. Attempted Murder: In “South Park is Gay!,” after being bullied for not conforming to the metrosexual trend, he decides, along with Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave, to travel to New York City and murder the hosts of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” for popularizing the trend. Their plans are foiled when Mr. Slave seriously injures himself while trying to crash through a glass window. Even so, the hosts don’t press charges against them, so the police don’t prosecute the trio. Murder: In “Sexual Healing,” he and Butters are ordered by President Obama to shoot at a “wizard alien” who, unbeknownst to them, is a soldier dressed in an alien costume. However, this doesn’t really count as a crime—since the authorities forced them to kill the soldier and tricked them into believing he was an alien. Illegally Downloading Music: In “Christian Rock Hard,” he, Stan, and Kenny try to find inspiration for their band Moop and download various songs from the internet illegally. They’re swiftly arrested by the FBI and forced to witness the barely noticeable reduction in luxury musicians’ earnings—due to the minimal to negligible impact of music piracy on their income—before being promptly released. Endangerment/Medical Neglect: In “Good Times with Weapons,” he and the rest of the boys refuse to take an injured Butters to a hospital, fearing their parents might discover what happened. Instead, they disguise him as a dog and try to take him to an animal hospital—but Butters escapes, is found by a shelter, and nearly put down. Suggesting Oral Rape (Suggesting Rape): Even though Kyle only meant for Cartman to have his (Cartman’s) penis in Butters’ mouth—to “cancel out the gay polarity” as a joke, or as a way to mess with Cartman and “reverse Cartman’s gay tendencies by sticking Butters’ penis in his mouth” in “Cartman Sucks”—even though later dialogue (“You finally figured it [that it wouldn’t cancel out any gay polarity] out, huh?” suggests he suspected Cartman wouldn’t actually go through with the attempt—he still voices the idea. Though this remains unconfirmed, as no moment in the episode specifies that Kyle intended for this to happen through rape.
