Sure, the mother of the biggest brat in television history made one questionable choice after another and probably shouldn’t have leaned so hard into reality show experts, but it truly was a gift watching a dog whisperer pinch Eric Cartman every time the bully kid acted like an obstreperous little snot. And then there’s Butters, who’s amazing in every conceivable way.įeatured as a one-off character in the Season 10 episode “Tsst,” Cesar Millan was Liane Cartman’s last resort at getting her misbehaving, manipulative son to be a good boy. Some make the list because they’re inexplicably huge online, while a few are here because they offer a twinge of nostalgia for the show’s highly irreverent early days. Others are great because they’ve been reliable side characters, like Tolkien, Tweek and Craig. Some characters are great because they’re the stars, like the boys or Randy Marsh. Narrowing the list to the 100 best characters was a monumental task, especially since there are shifting criteria for greatness on South Park. There’s also a starvin’ Marvin, an old Marvin, a kid named Clyde, a stuffed frog named Clyde and oh so many head-flapping Canadians. While the show began with a focus on four kids and their good-hearted school cafeteria worker, it has expanded to literally hundreds of characters, including stoner towels, singing pieces of human shit and world-ending ManBearPigs. For more than a quarter century now, South Park has left a mark on the cultural conversation - starting with its very first episode, “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” and continuing right on through its more recent COVID specials.
