The intelligent, ethical, and highly principled moral heart of the boys. As one of the only Jewish kids in town, he is frequently the target of Cartman's prejudices. He has a sharp temper, a strong sense of justice, and overbearing parents.

The manipulative, greedy, and deeply prejudiced ringleader of the group. He is fiercely anti-Semitic, selfish, and has no problem using others for his own schemes, often serving as the primary antagonist of the series.

Often the moral compass and the "everyman" of the group. He is generally level-headed and cynical, serving as the voice of reason when the town's adults do crazy things, though he is prone to impulsive decisions and gets easily stressed.

The impoverished, dirt-poor kid who wears a trademark tight orange parka. He is fiercely loyal and arguably the most experienced of the four. He is most famous for dying gruesome, comical deaths in almost every episode, only to inexplicably return to school the next day.
