[edit] Gerald

Gerald is the father and head of the family. His occupation as a lawyer has given him high status in profile cases such as in episodes like Sexual Harassment Panda and Chef Aid. As The Simpsons's character Ned Flanders satirizes Christian fundamentalism, Gerald Broflovski satirizes Jewish fundamentalism.

[edit] Sheila

Sheila is Gerald's wife and the matriarch of the family. She is often noted for (and sometimes notoriously remembered) her political correctness and strong belief in moral values. Sheila often pushes her son Kyle to "always do the right thing" and abstain from immorality. Viewers can see her strong belief in her principles especially in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. She maybe a satirization of the conservative side of the political spectrum.

[edit] Kyle

Main article: Kyle Broflovski

Kyle is the central character in the family. He is one of the show's four main children along with Stan, Cartman, and Kenny (though Butters was elevated to main character status since Butter's Very Own Episode). Kyle tends to be the most logical, rational, and resonable boy among the four. He often abstains from certain fads exeplified in Chinpokomon and South Park is Gay!.
