The episode introduces Ike's backstory as a Canadian infant adopted by the Broflovskis. Trey and Matt did not originally plan for Ike to be Canadian.

Once the characters Terrance and Phillip were established to be Canadian, soon all Canadian characters on the show shared the same design of having beady eyes and a floppy head made up of two halves, as seen in " Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus ". Ike was retroactively made a Canadian based on his visual similarity.

The character Mr. Mackey is based on Trey's counselor in junior high school. The scene where Mr. Mackey comes to class to teach about drugs and subsequently loses a joint was inspired by a real life event that happened to Trey in his seventh grade class.

While staggering home from a bar, Mr. Mackey sings Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield". Schwartz tries to explain the bris by telling Kyle that "a circumcision is a very common thing for Ike to have. His father had it, his grandfather had it, and his brother had it. T and the A-Team kidnap Mr. Ike seems to be friendly with a number of his kindergarten classmates, who elected him Class President in a narrow majority, with help from Sally Bands , who managed his campaign.

Many of his classmates hang out at his house to watch Pewdepie videos with him as well, including Quaid , who is also best friends with Ike's rival, Filmore. He also came to forge a friendship with Ugly Bob when they worked together to save the Princess of Canada from Tooth Decay , though he still seemed to find that Scott was a dick , even when they banded together. He's also been employed by John McCain to help him and his team fake their deaths.

He's recently been noticed sending e-mails to Firkle Smith , as well as Daniel Smith and David Harrison but the extent of these friendships is unknown. Ike has a fierce rivalry with Filmore Anderson , who challenged him to be the Class President when he was new, and has always been the first to lead to bullying Ike, including when his crush on his teacher was exposed.

The rivalry has always been stronger from Filmore's side than Ike's, however, and they do spend time together as friends sometimes. He also helped defeat the evil Tooth Decay , who had taken many from all races, including the Canadians. While Ike isn't known to have any true role models, there are a few famous figures he seems to be fond of.

He's also a huge fan of Pewdepie 's videos and. Ike has less often been a member of a larger organization as other characters, but he was convinced to enlist as a member of Eric Cartman 's Pirate Crew by the promise of travel and riches on the high seas, and proved to be one of Cartman's favorite team members.

It may be worth noting despite proclaiming Jews can't be Pirates, Cartman allowed Ike on to the team. Stan Marsh recruited Ike for his Pee-Wee Hockey Team as a potential star player, and he proved well fit for the role, until they ended up going against the Detroit Red Wings , who beat the shit out of him. Ike has always lived with his family at the Broflovski Residence , aside a brief stay in Canada, and is lucky enough to have his own bedroom upstairs with a crib, and a computer.

Maplebeard the Pirate King can be found at the Neighborhood Park playing with his some other pirate kindergarteners. When the player confronts [The Lord of Darkness]], Ike plays a role in setting off fireworks, and can be befriended, and later plays an even more valuable role in helping his big brother and the New Kid save the town, with the ultimate 'Kick the Baby'.

Ike is one of the key characters in the mobile game, with multiple themed Ike cards available to the player, such as Gizmo Ike and Smuggler Ike. 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.

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. Note that some of the same material was re-used for multiple days because Sheila is scrolling. Maplebeard the Pirate King.

This fact was introduced after the flappy heads and beady eyes were established as Canadian traits in the world of South Park. Since Ike was designed with both, Matt and Trey decided to make Ike Canadian by birth, and therefore, adopted. In the fourth season, it is revealed that Ike is a genius, and is sent to kindergarten early. This wasn't evident at first however, Proof of Ike's genius is visible in many later episodes. In the same episode, when offered LSD, Ike asked for "3 hits".

He also once made a perfect replica of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting out of macaroni as a project for his Jewish camp, which completely offended his unimpressed troop leader.

In " About Last Night He can play the piano very well in " Fatbeard " and seems to know how to drive a boat. To the other members of the Pee-Wee team, Ike seems to be a very good player, due to the fact that he can hit pucks into the goal, while the other members can't.

Ike is at times very aware of things going on around him, from trying to reconcile with his brother to auditioning for Eric Cartman 's boy band and flipping Cartman off when he doesn't make the cut. Ike was also aware of how unpopular he initially was with his kindergarten classmates, who were jealous of the fact that he was admitted at only age three. However, he rallied enough support to force a tie in the election for class president, finally winning when his opponent who was fed up with all the negotiations and meddling by his aunt Rosie O'Donnell conceded defeat.

In the episode " Fatbeard " Ike joins Cartman's pirate crew and goes to Somalia with him because he grew tired of his home life. However, when he and Butters hear the story of a real Somalian pirate, who tells them they shouldn't want to be a pirate and that they should be happy with their lives in America, he wants to go home again.

This is one of the first episodes where Ike's dialogue is actively coherent to the audience throughout the entire episode as opposed to nonsensical comments. Kyle is known to punt Ike like a football after saying, "Kick the baby! Because he's a genius, Ike was accepted into kindergarten at the age of 3. There, Mr. Garrison nominates him for class president, Ike's opponent being Filmore. The vote is tied, as a little classmate of theirs named "Flora" spoofing Florida's role in the US Presidential Election can't make up her mind and Filmore's aunt shows up to demand that Filmore be declared class president.

Eventually, Filmore gives up and Ike becomes class president to which he can only exclaim loudly , "I pooped my pants! At one point, Ike has an affair with his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Stevenson, during which he loses his virginity, becoming the youngest person on the show to do so.

They planned to run off to Milan to which Ike replies, "Yay, Mulan! Before they leave, Kyle helps him come back to his senses. As Ike and his teacher are on the roof of a hotel, they both run to the edge, but Ike skids to a stop. Stevenson doesn't and leaps to her death. In a plot involving his Canadian heritage, the Canadian Prime Minister, with the help of the Canadian critic and Terrance and Phillip nemesis Scott the Dick , passed a new law forcing Canadian parents to take back children they put up for adoption; this included Ike's birth parents.

However, when the Prime Minister was revealed to be Saddam Hussein , his new laws were repealed, and Ike went back to his adopted family. He joins the team simply because of the fact that he is Canadian, and thus as a stereotype must be a superior hockey player.

During a practice session, he demonstrated shooting skills far beyond those of his teammates. According to Kyle, Ike was not allowed to play because of how dangerous it was and their mother's fears, yet Stan promises that Ike will be okay. However, the team plays in place of the Colorado Avalanche since their intended Pee-Wee opponents didn't show up, and Ike, along with the other children, was injured badly by the Detroit Red Wings. In the episode " Canada on Strike ", Ike is shown standing up for Canada and holding a sign with the words "Honk if you support Canada".
