This is not uncommon with Stan and Kyle, often throughout the series being criticized as having the same personality. Kyle also has a mannerism like this, often closing his eyes when stressed.

The gesture seems to be a learned habit developed by his constant frustration with his parents.

He also does it the whole time when the reporter is talking to Randy in ' Goobacks'. His mother is also seen doing the motion in that scene. Another example is in ' With Apologies to Jesse Jackson', when he does it all the way home from the set of Wheel of Fortune. In the later episodes, Stan also has a habit of pinching the bridge of his (unseen) nose and shutting his eyes tightly when frustrated or exasperated, saying phrases such as 'Oh no.' A good example of this is in ' ManBearPig' where he does this motion when on the phone with Al Gore. Stan is often shown with his hands in his coat pockets as he walks, or when in deep thought. In many episodes, Stan sums up the episode's main points in a small speech that often begins with, 'You know, I learned something today.' However, it is more common for Kyle to do it, and a few other characters such as Cartman and the Mayor have as well. In recent episodes, however this catchphrase has faded. Stan's often-used catchphrase during the early seasons was 'Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here,' which originated in the second The Spirit of Christmas short, though the profanity was bleeped out. Since its beginning, the series has had a running gag where when Kenny is killed, Stan will announce, 'Oh my God, you/he/she/they/we killed Kenny!' Kyle will then respond: 'You/that/those/we're bastard(s)!', or vice versa. He briefly had a step-father in ' Clubhouses', named Roy. Stan's father Randy is a geologist, and his mother Sharon is a secretary at Tom's Rhinoplasty. Garrison's Fourth Grade Class (formerly Third).
