>>11825232>CartmanFor most of the series lifespan, the face of the franchise. The one everyone quoted. The one with most spotlight episodes. The one everyone remembers. Has been downgraded severely over time to be the writer's jabs at right wing incels, but is still imminently quotable. Absolutely the Michaels for most of the series lifespan.
>StanWas originally the generic face of the franchise, but the relationship with wendy was largely anti-dimes. He had no real personality besides the depression gimmick and being the everyman. Has been more or less replaced by his dad, who has quickly become the Roman Reigns of the franchise. Clear jannetty.
>KyleHas always been the jannetty to his lil bro Ike, and his mom. For a good chunk of time, even his dad was more over than him, but at least Gerald had the sense to fuck off after his limelight. Clear jannetty.
>KennyPerennially over at the top of the midcard, and can handle being the big face, or a comedy jobber. He can work any position you want him to, and will succeed. While he doesn't have the sheer memorable moments Cartman has, he still has plenty of "oh yeah Kenny" moments and can pop even the most burned out crowd. Clear Michaels.
As is, you could replace Stan and Kyle with Craig, Butters and/or Tweek and there would be no real difference.
