Ned Gerblanski

South Park | Character

Something Missing?

Ned Gerblanski is a Vietnam War Veteran who is missing his right arm and talks through an electrolarynx with a voice performed by Trey Parker. He was almost always presented as Jimbo Kern's apparently platonic companion. Ned and Jimbo were both inspired by characters Parker drew in high school.

Jimbo was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War where he met his lifelong buddy, Ned Gerblanski. However, his memory of the events are heavily distorted. When he relates his memories to the boys for their history assignment, he recalls that there were amusement park rides and that he and Ned defeated the entire Viet Cong by themselves, while on horseback.

When he relates his memories to the boys for their history assignment, he recalls that there were amusement park rides and that he and Ned defeated the entire Viet Cong by themselves, while on horseback.

Mr. Garrison does not believe the boys' story, thinking that they made it up, and gives them detention. Mr. Garrison also hints that he was in Vietnam himself. However, a cameraman who was also a Vietnam veteran appeared to share memories of amusement park rides as well, implying that Jimbo's story was either true or that the cameraman shared Jimbo and Ned's delusion.

In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, and "The Red Badge of Gayness", Jimbo is also shown to be known for his guerrilla tactics.
