Kyle Broflovski

beliefs

Religious Beliefs Kyle is Jewish, but this detail is not officially revealed until "Mr. Christmas Shit", despite being briefly mentioned in the second "Christmas Spirit" short, and in "The Big One". "Big Gay Al's Cruise". It was also mentioned in "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig". Cartman regularly makes derogatory comments about Jewish people, often directly in Kyle's presence specifically to aggravate him. Kyle appears to have mixed feelings towards Judaism, and there is conflicting evidence as to his family's religiosity, for example, while they dress similarly to many religious Jews (Gerald, for example, always wears a kippah), apparently they do not. they keep the Sabbath or follow very strict sex lives (Sheila Stone, Matt Stone's mother, was herself a secular Sephardic Jew). Kyle's apparent indifference toward religion may be part of his effort to fit in with his friends, who are mostly Roman Catholics. Kyle is often more defensive than proud of his faith, and although he regularly attends functions such as "Jewish Scouts", he often has little knowledge of the history, traditions and rituals of his religion. He is very naive, although he is known to know more in later seasons. This could be the fault of his parents, who, in a misguided attempt to protect their son, generally do not discuss the finer points of their religion with him. For example:

gets sick

Kyle gets sick more often than any of the other children, even though Kenny repeatedly dies. He experiences 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 experienced kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant in "Cherokee Hair Tampons." In the episode "Guitar Heroes", the illness apparently prevents Kyle from practicing Guitar Hero as much as Stan. By contrast, in "Chickenpox", he is the only person in his class who does not easily catch the disease, even after playing a game in which Kenny spit in his mouth and had to swallow it. He eventually catches Chicken Pox after prolonged exposure to Stan and Cartman, and contracts a more severe case than any of the other children.

appearance

Kyle wears a greenish-lime ushanka, a bright orange jacket, dark green pants, and lime green mittens. Kyle weighs 83 pounds. as indicated in "Human CentiPad". Under his hat, he has red hair, much like his mother's. This was first shown in "Como Comer con tu Culo"; He is seen without his hat in "The Little Detectives", "South Park is Gay!", "In Search of an Audience", "Mr. Garrison's New Vagina", "The Boring League of Baseball", "The Musical Primary", "FCL", "It's a Jersey Thing" and the Coon and Friends arc (as his alter-ego, Human Comet). His hair is a nod to Matt Stone's (his creator) old hairstyle. In "Good Times with Guns", he is depicted as a ninja with brown eyes.

personality

His personality in particular, his temper was greatly reduced. Like his mother, Kyle makes speeches to say what he believes is right. Kyle has extremely strong beliefs, and when forced to question them, he becomes very angry and has a bit of a temper (especially when it comes to Cartman. This has caused many fights between these two). For the most part, Kyle bases his decisions on both his emotions and his beliefs; therefore, it is easy to convince him to fight or manipulate him with his feelings, an example of this is when Cartman sang a song about his mother being a "whore" and got everyone to join in, which upset Kyle. As a result, this has happened at least twice. Cartman is more than happy to tease Kyle in other ways, which has gotten him into trouble many times. However, Kyle has been known to abandon his beliefs if he has too much money for himself and self-justifies himself despite knowing how wrong he is; He only changes his mind when he realizes what Cartman is becoming. Kyle appears to have the best moral standing, often refusing to accept acts he finds wrong or evil, although his friends easily pressure him into doing them.

kyle's mother

Sheila Broflovski Kyle's mother, Sheila, is extremely overprotective of him. He even goes so far as to instigate a war between the United States and Canada in the feature-length film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut because of the show he considers inappropriate for children, Terrance & Philip. Their motto was: "Horrible and deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say bad words." Sheila is prone to exaggerating the problem when something threatens her son. Still, in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" she turns to holistic, natural medicine when Kyle's kidney begins to fail.

kyle's father

Gerald Broflovski Kyle's father, Gerald, is a lawyer. He serves as legal advisor to the city council, although the exact nature of his regular practice is unclear. He is involved in litigation at various points, once briefly becoming quite wealthy from his involvement in a series of sexual harassment lawsuits against the city. He has also represented townspeople on occasions, including the Chef case involving copyright infringement in "Help Chef." In early episodes, the Broflovskis appear to be wealthier than much of the population in South Park, but decidedly less than the Black family. Gerald is usually one of the most reasonable men in South Park, much more so than Randy Marsh, the main adult protagonist, and generally tries to teach Kyle good morals, as seen in Chicken Pox, although he may fail to teach him correct morals, as also seen in the episode. Kyle showed that he idolized his father, once referring to him as "the smartest guy in the world."

kyle's younger brother

Ike Broflosvki Kyle has an adopted Canadian brother, Ike. When Kyle learned that Ike was adopted, he initially considered that Ike was not his "real" brother, and became disengaged and even resentful of him. Her feelings for Ike returned, however, after Ike showed her pictures of the times they had spent together, and she later fled to Kyle's room for protection when he was in trouble for an impending circumcision, at which point Kyle found him. defended fiercely. Their relationship has been strong since then, although it has been strained at times. The biggest breakup between them was in "Teacher Has Sex with a Boy", where Kyle reveals the illicit relationship between Ike and his kindergarten teacher. Ike didn't understand that Kyle was simply trying to protect him, and told Kyle, "You're dead to me." Eventually, Ike realizes the folly of his relationship with his teacher and appreciates how much Kyle had cared about him. In South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the first interactions between the two lead them to play "kick the baby". When Sheila, his mother, told Kyle that he had to take Ike with him for the day, Kyle complained, becoming upset with his younger brother. He then proceeded to kick Ike through the window, getting him into trouble. Later, as the film develops, Kyle shows strong protectiveness over Ike.

Eric Cartman

Cartman dislikes most of the South Park kids and Kyle is no exception, and adults also referred to him as a "moron." although in "You're Getting Old", Kyle and Cartman are seen growing closer to each other, while Stan suffers from his new, alienating opinion that everything is "bullshit". However, the feud between the two has been a recurring theme since the beginning of the show. Cartman and Kyle often trade insults, with Kyle being the target of Cartman's anti-Semitism, and with Kyle mocking Cartman about his weight in return. When he makes a point, Cartman often tries to mock Kyle, sometimes making a bet with him just so he can gloat in his face. Although Cartman usually ends up the loser of the argument, there are exceptions when Cartman's improbable claims turn out to be true. In cases like "Die Hippie, Die", where Cartman saves the town from a hippie music festival, and Kyle is forced to watch Cartman play with his new Tonka excavator in the school parking lot every day and in "Imaginationland "; The episode begins with Cartman taking Kyle, Stan, Kenny, Butters, Clyde and Token to the woods because he had seen a goblin in the area; Kyle, of course, doesn't believe him, although Cartman turns out to be correct.

kenny

Kyle's friendship with Kenny is not as strong as his friendship with Stan (in the episode "Chicken Pox", he says that Kenny is not his friend to avoid spending the night in Kenny's poverty), nor is it adversarial (as with Cartman). ) but it is clearly existing. They rarely interact one on one. Kyle regularly includes Kenny in many of his activities. and although his friendship with Kenny is not as noticeable when Stan or Cartman are around, when the two are alone together, they are known to be very friendly with each other. Kyle hits Cartman in defense of Kenny's honor and memory after one of his "permanent" deaths in "Kenny Dies". In "Best Friends Forever", Kenny, once again dead, bequeathed all of his belongings (except his PSP) to Kyle and Stan, and in his will said: "Guys, you were the best friends a man could have." , to which Kyle responded "That's really touching...", indicating a significant relationship between the two. He invited Kenny to the Jewish camp in "Jubilee", and in "The Ring" he comforted Kenny before leaving to confront Disney about the purity rings, one of which was making Kenny boring.

Butters

Kyle's friendship with Butters is pretty decent and he prefers him over Cartman; Kyle generally treats Butters well (such as when he defended Butters for not kissing a girl in "Butters' Big Bitch"). Another example is when Kyle tried to help Butters when they were diagnosed as sex addicts in "Sexual Healing". However, like the other children, he is not above using Butters as a "guinea pig" when it comes to experiments or undercover work, and blames him for writing Scrotum Tale McBalls in the episode of the same. name. Additionally, when Kenny died, during season six, he, along with Stan, would force Butters to do things by saying "Kenny would have done it"; He constantly talked about how Kenny was great to the other two and abandoned Butters until he did tasks, often dangerous ones. He also occasionally makes fun of Butters, swears at him, or calls him out. Conversely, Butters has been shown to insult Kyle, as shown in "The List", and has also "bullied" him for being Jewish, although this is usually under Cartman's influence.

Stan

Kyle is Stan's best friend. They are the closest to the four children, and are usually seen together on the show, standing next to each other, as well as sitting together on the school bus. Kyle shares an affinity with Stan in many ways (especially in the beginning, when there were fewer distinctions between their personalities), and they truly care about each other. They are almost always on the side of the many problems they face, mainly when it is Cartman who opposes them. This frequently manifests itself when there is a conflict between Kyle and Cartman, and Stan offers support to Kyle by taking sides with him.

Kyle seems to have a strong brotherly instinct. Despite his initial discontent after learning that Ike was his adoptive brother in , he remembers his previous bond with Ike and protects him when he misunderstands that Ike was in immediate danger. Kyle, has dedicated all his attention to saving the general well-being of Ike or Ike. Kyle has a great imagination and is easily the most compassionate of the boys, as evidenced by the fact that he did not find Peeking's invasive gossip to be funny unlike most of the other boys in his class. He shows genuine empathy by reasoning that others wouldn't find the site funny if he wrote about them. However, Kyle can also be mean and sometimes neurotic. He is also known to be the most sensitive and intelligent of the four and, although he sometimes puts his own emotions before common sense, he usually manages to find logical solutions to problems.
