Literature | Kyle Carrick, and Cunningham. Ayrshire is divided into three parts: Kyle, a strong corn-growing soil; Carrick, a wild hilly portion, only fit for feeding cattle; and Cunningham, a rich dairy land. Hence the saying- "Kyle for a man, Carrick for a coo [cow], Cunningham for butter, Galloway for woo' [wool]." Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

Kyle Broslofski, voiced by Matt Stone, is a fictional character on the animated series South Park.He and Stan Marsh alternate as leader of their group. Kyle is evidently the only Jewish kid in town and is often mocked for it by Eric Cartman. He has a little brother (adopted) named Ike. His mother, Sheila, is very overprotective: she instigates a war between America and Canada in the feature-length movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut because of an extremely scatological R-rated movie.
Kyle's most notable catch phrase is "Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!"
He wears a bright green ear-flapped cap, a bright orange shirt, green pants and green mittens. He is rarely shown without his cap, but without it he has a bright red afro.
