Gerald

Appearance

Gerald wears a pink yarmulke, a beige jacket and forest green trousers. He has brown hair, sideburns, a mustache which is separated in the middle, and a short, pointed beard. Gerald is bald beneath his yarmulke, as seen in "Major Boobage". A yarmulke (also yarmulka, yarmelke) (Yiddish יאַרמלקע yarmlke) or Kippah (Hebrew כִּפָּה kippāh, plural kippot) is a thin, usually slightly rounded cloth cap worn by Jews. ...

Personality

Out of all the parents in South Park, Gerald appears to be the most caring and rational father. He teaches Kyle on important morals, although his ideals and explanations may sometimes be flawed, and appears to be more concerned with the environment and current events than most South Park residents.

He is a kind, amiable person, though he can be obnoxious and stubborn once in a while. He does, however, have repressed gambling problems and drug problems (explored in "Red Man's Greed" and "Major Boobage," respectively), and is sometimes too obsessed with money (as seen in "Sexual Harassment Panda"). Mostly, though, he is seen as a responsible and caring father, sometimes to a fault.

Occupation

Gerald is a lawyer. The legal matters he's been involved with includes:

• Getting Chef's name put on the album "Stinky Britches" in "Chef Aid".

• Helping Cartman successfully sue Stan after Stan called him an "ass-sucker" in "Sexual Harassment Panda". Gerald then helped the other children sue each other after various forms of name-calling were classified as sexual harassment. This led to the case of Everyone vs. Everyone, which was dropped when Sexual Harassment Panda changed his name to Don't Sue People Panda.

• Being the city attorney.

Sexual Harassment Panda is episode 306 of Comedy Centrals animated series South Park. ...

Sheila

Appearance

Sheila wears a midnight blue suit with her red hair in a beehive. She is overweight and shorter than average height. Curiously for a resident of Colorado, Sheila speaks with a rather broad Brooklyn accent (although it is mentioned in "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" that she moved to the town from a large city).

The variety of the English language spoken in the New York City and North Jersey region is often considered to be one of the most recognizable accents within American English (Newman 2005). ... South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a 1999 motion picture based on the cartoon television series of South Park. ...

Personality

Sheila fits almost perfectly into the mold of a stereotypical Jewish mother. She seems at times overprotective of her children. As a result of hearing something shocking or inappropriate, she is often heard exclaiming "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT!?". When she deems something harmful to her son (or to the Jewish community), she tends to make a huge, useless deal out of it, although in recent seasons she has remained largely out of the spotlight on big town issues. Cartman finds her extremely annoying and he regularly calls her a "bitch". This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Occupations

She is usually just a stay-at-home mom, but she was briefly the Secretary of Offense for the Clinton Administration in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut".

Marriage

Compared to The Marshes and the McCormicks, Gerald and Sheila have a stable marriage and don't argue usually. However, their relationship did get strained in "Spontaneous Combustion," due to Gerald's erectile dysfunction, and in "Major Boobage", when Gerald is parodied as Elliot Spitzer, regarding 'Cheesing'. Gerald also seems occasionally annoyed by his wife's meddling in others' lives, though this seems to be fairly subdued.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis. ...

Interestingly, the Broflovskis seem to have an open marriage, or at least have been known to have affairs. Gerald was one of Cartman's potential fathers in "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut," implying he and Ms. Cartman may have had sex (although Sheila was also a potential mother when it turned out that Ms. Cartman was the "father" indicating she slept with Ms. Cartman as well); and Sheila is shown having sex with Chef in "Chef Aid." Gerald apparently knew about this, coming in a moment after and cheerfully asking "How was it?" Sheila responds that it was "pretty much what I expected." Open marriage typically refers to a marriage in which the partners agree that each may engage in extramarital sexual relationships, without this being regarded as infidelity. ...

Extended Family

Though never seen alive, Kyle's grandmother has been mentioned several times. Most of these references seem to be a reference to the same woman, Cleo, who is Sheila's mother. Gerald's parents have never been mentioned or so far appeared in the series.

Sheila also has at least one sister, who is never seen. However, Kyle's cousin, Kyle Schwartz (Sheila's sister's son) has been seen three times in total. Kyle Schwartz is a fictional character in the animated series South Park. ...

In the episode, "More Crap", Gerald mentions that he has a brother. More Crap is episode 1109 (#162) of Comedy Centrals South Park. ...
