Who among us hasn’t wanted to mercilessl­y mock Cartman, pull a prank on Mr. Garrison or kill Kenny?

And for charity’s sake? Trey Parker and Matt Stone, everyone’s favorite rabble rousers and the creators of “South Park,” are offering a chance to step into their long-running Comedy Central series as a character.

Parker, who in the video announceme­nt sports his Colorado roots with a vintage Broncos shirt and Buffs hat, went to Evergreen High School and University of Colorado Boulder. Stone may not be sporting a hat, but he also grew up in Littleton and went to CU, where he met Parker.

The contest, which is being run through crowdfundi­ng site Omaze, is part of a fundraisin­g effort for Next for Autism — a national nonprofit that runs programs to support people with the developmen­tal disorder.

Donating money to Next for Autism (via Omaze) will make fans eligible for the following prizes (language via omaze.com):

• Being immortaliz­ed in an episode of “South Park” and getting drawn into the show as one of the townspeopl­e

• Meeting the show’s “hilarious creators,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone

• Visiting the South Park studio, grabbing lunch and seeing how the show comes together

• Getting flown out to L.A. and put up in a 4-star hotel (flights and hotel included; and you can bring a friend, too)

• Probably something else (our language, not theirs)

If you’ve been dying for “eternal life,” as they say in the video, or at least becoming a “random townsperso­n” to be used in scenes where crowds chase the mayor, or run from a volcano, visit omaze.com/southpark to donate and enter.

The deadline is Jan. 31, 2018, and winners will be announced on or around Feb. 16.
