Look familiar?
​If you didn't catch last night's South Park, you missed out. Not only did it touch on Arizona's focal issue, illegal immigration, and introduce the world to the term "Mexi-Jew," it featured the show's portly, pissed-off star, Cartman, portraying a hillbilly sheriff bearing a striking resemblance to Maricopa County's corrupt top-cop, Joe Arpaio.

In the episode, titled "The Last of the Messicans," the boys play a rousing game of "Texans vs. Mexicans," after which Cartman joins the Border Patrol and is hell-bent on getting every Mexican out of America -- which is very Joe-esque.

We can't say for sure whether South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker had America's self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" in mind when they created Sheriff Cartman, but it seems like a hell of a coincidence if they didn't. See below.

I thought the character modeled after Sheriff Joe wasn't Cartman, it was the deputy that teamed up with Cartman and brought him on the team. No?

Oh man this guy is nothing but trouble.  I'm glad South Park sees him for what he is.  A Cartoon Character!

As I watched this south park episode I kept wondering if there would be any specific behavior on cartmans part that would point to arpaio as the inspiration but there were none that noticed other the the outfit and cartmans/arpaios portliness.

Why do you even bother with the period at the end of your paragraph?

I don't know about "drunk", but the fat and stupid part is pure Arpaio.

I can't remember which year this happened but A drunken Rpiehole and a drunken Hineyshot, while leaving a waterin hole, got into a fight with a gay hairstylist in the parking lot and these two pigs had to call for back-up to deal with the hairdresser who was also drunk.

Cartman as the MCSO shurf is very scary, but a reality.
