Editing Ike Broflovski (section)

==Behind the Scenes==
Trey Parker and Matt Stone both had no older sisters, but they thought it would be repetitive for both Stan and Kyle to have an older sister. [[Shelly Marsh]] was therefore based on Trey's sister, while Kyle was given a little brother instead, named Ike, who debuted way back in the original pilot for "[[Cartman Gets an Anal Probe]]", one of the few original characters outside the four boys still active in the show. 

Ike was the original character with a 'flappy head', a design choice which wasn't intended to confer significance, but it soon became a fixture of all Canadian characters on the show, so "[[Ike's Wee-Wee]]" revealed that he was an adopted child from Canada.

Since the tenth season or so, Ike is usually shown wearing a green shirt and shorts outfit during the daytime or when outside the house, but at night, his classic blue pajamas still appear.

===Voice Actors===
Ike's voice actor or actress has changed frequently, as to assure he always sounds like a young child. This voice was usually been provided by the child of a crew member of the show, but there are challenges to using a child voice. Some parents don't allow their child to swear, even for South Park, so placeholder words are used, and then censored to sound like swear words, such as using "shoe" to sound like "shit" once 'bleeped'. As a result, some sequences where Ike or other young children swear remain censored even in 'uncensored' audio tracks.

During the production of "[[Taming Strange]]", Ike was given a more 'mature' voice in order to sound like a teenager, supplied by Matt Stone, and he and Trey considered keeping it, but decided the baby voice always got the best laughs.

As of [[Season Twenty]], Ike's voice is being provided by Betty Boogie Parker, Trey's real-life daughter, who has no problem swearing for her daddy.

Prior to production, the writers toyed w/ the idea of making Ike look bigger, like a pubescent teenager.
