[edit] Gerald
[edit] Appearance
Gerald wears a yarmulke, a beige jacket and forest green trousers. He has brown hair and a beard.
[edit] 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 and appears to be more concerned with the environment and current events than most South Park residents.
He is a kind, amiable person. He does, however, have gambling problems and is sometimes too obsessed with money. Mostly, though, he is seen as a responsible and caring father.
[edit] Occupation
Gerald is a lawyer. He has handled legal matters including:
- Helping Cartman sue Stan after Stan called him an ass-sucker in Sexual Harassment Panda.
In Sexual Harassment Panda, Gerald 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.
[edit] Sheila
[edit] Appearance
Sheila wears a dark blue suit with her red hair in a beehive. She appears to be overweight.
[edit] Protests
Sheila has protested against many things including Terrance and Phillip and people insulting Nurse Gollum for her Conjoined Twin Myslexia, for which condition Sheila ended up having a special week declared.
[edit] Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo
Sheila and her family apparently comprise the entire South Park Jewish community. She was angered that the school play was anti-Jewish in Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo and forced the play to adapt a non-religious theme, ultimately provoking a riot in which she beat up Priest Maxi as he was restrained by her husband.
[edit] Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina
Sheila pokes her nose into many other people's business and doesn't like her family (or anyone else in fact) discriminating others. In Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina she was a hypocrite in telling Kyle that Mr. Garrison's vaginoplasty was okay because it makes him feel how he is on the inside, but then denied Kyle a negroplasty.
[edit] South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
In the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut Sheila was one of the main characters when the boys had been "sucked in" by Terrance and Phillip's antics from their film Asses of Fire.
In fact it led to Kenny copying Terrance lighting his fart on fire killing Kenny. Kenny is famous for dying however. Sheila then created "MAC" or "Mothers Against Canada" (Terrance and Phillip are Canadian). She even installed a V-Chip in Cartman to shock him whenever he swore.
Sheila thought she was acting for the best but it then lead to America-Canada war. Then Satan and Saddham Hussein used this to invade Earth. Satan's armies were fended off by Cartman's malfunctioning V-Chip and Satan killed Saddam who had been irritating Satan for a while after Kenny's spirit (who went to Hell) convinced him to end it. Satan then took Mr. Hat to Hell with him and gave Kenny one wish for helping him. He said he wanted everything back to normal even though it meant he (Kenny) would have to go to Hell. Kyle then said that in the end Cartman's swearing saved everyone. Sheila realized and since then has cut down on her protesting.
Sheila has been in protests like against the Iraq War in I'm a Little Bit Country and various others.
[edit] Kyle's Mom is a Stupid Bitch
This is a song sung by Cartman in two episodes, Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (in which towards the end of the song Sheila was actually standing behind Cartman, who proceeded to sing the song to the end before looking behind him and exclaiming "Aw, fuck!"). The lyrics can be found here.

[edit] Trivia
- Gerald and Sheila are the names of Matt Stone's own parents.
- The surname "Broflovski" is derived from Broslovski, the maiden name of Matt Stone's mother (changed to Belasco when an ancestor immigrated to the United States). Early in the series the family's last name was represented in many variants, such as Brovlofski, etc.
- In "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery," Shiela's deceased mother's gravestone has the last name "Broflovski;" while this is most likely just a mistake, it seems to imply that she and Gerald had the same last name before they married.
- While the entire Broflovski family is portrayed as Jewish on the show, Matt Stone's real-life father is not Jewish. In fact, the only Jewish influence in Stone's family is that his mother was a secular Sephardic Jew.
- Of the real Matt Stone's family, the only member who does not have a representation is his sister, Rachel Stone.
