Cartman-loud, obnoxious, and obese-is sometimes portrayed as the series' antihero and whose anti-Semitic attitude has resulted in an ever-progressing rivalry with Kyle. Stan and Kyle are best friends, and their relationship, which is intended to reflect the real-life friendship between South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is a common topic throughout the series. Kyle is the lone Jew among the group, and his portrayal in this role is often dealt with satirically. Stan is portrayed as the everyman of the group, as the show's official website describes him as 'a normal, average, American, mixed-up kid'. The town is also home to an assortment of characters who make frequent appearances in the show such as students and their family members, elementary school staff, and recurring characters. The ongoing narrative revolves around four children, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick, and their bizarre adventures in and around the fictional and eponymous Colorado town.
