[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

One of most endearing parts of Kyle's character was always his close relationship with Ike for me especially how for how adorable they make him.

[@NobodyC13]

If you think of it, Kyle's relationship with Ike is one of the few positive and healthy familial relationships he has. Given Kyle is half the time embarassed or half scared of his mom whenever she goes on one of her causes, and lost respect of his dad after season 20 when he learned he was SkankHunt42 and nearly caused all civilization to collapse, and got away scot free of his crimes.

[@paulsmith9192]

[@micahpolizzi7007]

My brother used to quote the “kick the baby” thing as he’d pick on me. PTSD level flashback when Kyle said that.

[@browncesario]

with the exception of a few “real parent” bad terminology slips, ike is some of the best adoption representation on tv. the way it’s emphasized and normalized that he’s not only part of his family, but allowed to dictate what being an international adoptee means to him with strong ties both to the us (him being active during election season) and in his canadian arcs.

“Do you know who I am Ike!” “No but I want to dad” Probably one of the best dialogue exchanges in one of the worst season(according to fans, personally I didn’t mind it) 😭😂

[@TheCopyNinja733]

I actually liked season 20. Taking someone like Gerald and going, “What if he was a cunt?” is an interesting concept to me, and most of the moments I find myself laughing is when I’m watching Gerald’s plot. For example, the scene in his house where Dildo is giving his backstory, and it cuts back to Gerald struggling not to laugh, I lost it for almost five minutes. There’s so many moments like that where I loose it because Gerald is just a really funny character

[@tonythetiger1600]

[@AoiUsagiOtoko]

ike is the cutest little bean, every time i see him i can't help but smile. there's a short gag in one episode where sheila takes him to clown school and he's in a little clown costume and he looks so hilarious and cute. i want an ike clown school plot dangit! it's funny how many genuinely endearing characters and moments can come from a show like this. kyle being a good big brother is the sweetest thing, bless him

[@guyrocketram9698]

i used to hate the one where ike had sex with his kindergarden teacher. it grossed me out and frustrated me to such a degree that it was the first episode of south park i quit watching halfway through because of how gross it made me feel. but after talking with a friend who was sexually abused by an older woman in his life i kinda get what they were going for. how society treats male sexual assault victims as being lucky and complaining for nothing despite it leading to very real trauma. i think that point flew over my head and i just assumed the police officer scene was there because "hahaha incompetent police officer funny haha." and not understanding the real albiet exagerated implications it had,

[@NobodyC13]

Yep, "Me Too" goes both ways. Male abuse victims deserve to be validated, and abusers shouldn't be overlooked just because they're female and/or hot (which is the reason why the episode had that running gag of every male adult saying "nice!" because the teacher was considered pretty and commending Ike as a lucky boy).

[@thatswhatshesaid2777]

I totally agreee. Ike is SOOOOOOO adorable! And the fact that he’s voice by an actual toddler makes him so much more lovable to me. I love the archetype of "badass little kid". Also, fun fact: originally, Ike wasn't Canadian; all babies were to share his design. He was made canadian after Terrence and Phillip were introduced with similar heads to Ike.

Great retrospective! If you wanna take Ike's history even slightly further back before South Park, according to the DVD commentary in Cannibal the Musical they mention a scene where Trey (as Alferd Packer) wakes up from a nightmare and screams "IKE!!" (instead of "yikes"? I think just cuz it was sillier?) and so a few years later when naming Kyle's little brother for South Park they remembered that scene and that's how Ike was named.
