The cynicism of South Park knows no bounds, and that's precisely why we love this animated series by Trey Parker and Matt Stone! The satire is indeed corrosive and the character of Cartman contributes a lot to distill it on the screens all over the world - since 1997...Eric Cartman, a capricious, devious, clever and remorseless child, has illustrated himself in various ways. If his kits include superhero or magician costumes as part of his childhood games, he also changes his style when the context lends itself to it.The context that led the Funko POP Cartman figure to appear in these particular guises is the episode entitled "Christian Rock Hard". The creators of South Park having never been particularly soft on religions - to the point where it has sometimes been a problem for them - we can guess from the title of this episode that the satirical side will be grating!In this episode, following a particularly absurd children's bet, Cartman bets Kyle that he could easily get a platinum album. Where normal kids would never be able to accomplish this feat, Cartman, with all his characteristic treachery, doesn't hesitate to use the most immoral means to achieve his goal.In order to get the platinum album, he gave up all creative impulse and decided to seduce a Christian audience by offering them Christian rock. Christian rock is known to be the most sanitized of all, but Cartman, without any artistic considerations, only wants to win his bet with Kyle. So, with the help of Token and Butters, Cartman puts together a Christian rock band that sells a million copies and goes platinum with its vapid - but hilarious - lyrics. In this way, Cartman, without any creativity and simply by calculation, was able to reach notoriety easily and thus win his bet with Kyle, demonstrating that Christian rock is only a commercial business and certainly not artistic.The POP Cartman figurine as a Christian rocker reveals him as outrageous as a character of his caliber can be. We're talking about a Christian rocker whose lyrics to his song "The Body of Christ" are blasphemy disguised as praise. On this Funko POP figure of Cartman as a Christian rocker, we find him in all his glory.With his arms outstretched, a smiling hypocritical face while he only thinks about selling albums to an easy to fool public, the Funko POP Cartman figurine renders him as he is with a rare acuity. We see him wearing a leather jacket open on a blue t-shirt where a crucifix is presented very prominently to emphasize his "Christian" side. A religious side that will only lead him to obtain a testament album, equivalent to a platinum album in the Christian rock industry.Thus, the Funko POP Cartman figurine as a Christian rocker, with a microphone in his hand, presents him as a kind of hypocritical evangelist of the new times. A role of composition for a character absolutely devoid of scruples. In short, a POP that makes a perfect nod to the Christian Rock Hard episode of the 9th season of South Park!
