 Where Kyle is restrained by firm morals, Cartman would rather indulge in pleasure, and goes out of his way to hurt others.However, Kyle is sometimes an enthusiastic participant in Cartman's schemes and Cartman is sometimes seen treating Kyle well, although this is generally to put aside their hatred momentarily for a common goal, or for manipulation.Parker and Stone have compared the relationship to the one shared by Archie Bunker and Michael "Meathead" Stivic on the 1970s sitcom "All in the Family".
