Additionally, Cartman was not merely portrayed as a hilariously unpleasant person, but viewers were firmly reminded how awful a person must be to fake an official syndrome for their own entertainment.

* In ''Videogame/SpaceStation13'', player characters can get the Tourette's Syndrome mutation, which not only causes them to randomly shout out curse words - often on the station-wide comms channel - but also drop what they are holding and be stunned for a few seconds.

* On the 7th season of the UK version of ''Series/BigBrother'', the producers placed Pete Bennett in the house. His most significant tic was the word "wanker" and the producers thought he'd be hilarious - "wacky", and "well good telly". Instead, the housemates discovered he was an extremely kind, sensitive young man with a great sense of wit once he got over his initial shyness. At one point, every single girl in the house had a crush on him, which he did not seem to notice. The entire house loved him. With the winner as a foregone conclusion, there was no cruel, tactical voting and it's considered one of the best series ever. He won the last week with 61% of the vote out of 6 people.
