My Favorite South Park Characters

So I'm going to take a short break from Crash because I'm mentally exhausted right now and frankly, the last two Crash blogs deserve a Greenman at the top of his game, or at least one of them. I'm going out of order for them to end BaD with a bang, because I have.....things to say. So today, I'm just going to go with something mindless. And since I'm psyched for South Park: The Stick of Truth's release next week, I'll talk about the show.

Mel Gibson/Saddam Hussein

Only making few appearances each, it's safe to say their portrayal of Mel and Saddam prove that it's all about quality over quantity. There's something so hilarious about just pasting a celebrity's face onto a character and everyone just rolling with it. Each is funny in their own way whether it be Mel being nuts or Saddam abusing Satan with a shrill voice, but they're some of the best portrayals of real people I've ever seen.

Satan

Satan was once in an abusive relationship with Saddam Hussein. I shouldn't need to say any more.

Cartman

Cartman is like that kid we all knew and hated in elementary school taken to the extremes. He's spoiled, annoying, an asshole, and will do anything to get out of work. Yet Cartman is also full of bad ideas, evil plans, and anti-semitism. I mean, he once killed a kid's parents and made them into chilli just because the guy conned him out of sixteen bucks. Even Voldemort would be telling that kid he went way too far. But at the same time, he's so damn hilarious I don't even care.

Chef

There's two reasons I love Chef: The songs and when the kids ask him really awkward questions. 

Mr. Garrison

The wonderfully potically incorrect teacher, Mr. Garrison has the most colorful background in all of South Park. Starting as a homophobe with a racist, gay hand puppet named Mr. Hat, he then became gay himself, later getting a sex change, then becoming a lesbian before going back to a straight white guy again. Mr. Garrison is the best example of South Park's "I can't believe he just said that" style of humor, and that's why I love him. Also he owned Rosie O'Donnell once. That was awesome

Randy

Growing up on The Simpsons has given me a soft spot for an idiot, but lovable father. But Randy takes that to a whole new level. He takes everything to the extreme, blowing everything out of proportion in the most hilarious way possible. Every South Park fan knows that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you realize it's a Randy episode, and with good reason.

Butters

My favorite character was close, but at the end of the day it just has to be Butters. Ever since he said he didn't want to go with Paris Hilton and "the squishy thing that lives in her pants" he's been my favorite character on the show. You never know where a Butters plot is going to go either. It can start with him sleeping over at Cartman's and end with him declaring God is bicurious.

South Park is one of my favorite shows. It is hard for me to pick a favorite character since they are all hilarious. Cartman is up there though. Side note: My name is Kyle and pretty much everyone on campus now says my name like Cartman does in the show. I don't think anyone has called me Kyle in a couple months or so. People I don't even know have somehow heard about me and call me "Ka'a'a'a'"". That how I am guessing you spell it.

Same thing happened to a guy named Kyle at my old high school.

Yeah Butters is my favourite character too. I still love how dark the episode that introduces him is.

It gets even darker when you find out it was based on a real crime. A woman found out her husband was cheating on her, so she drove her kids into a lake and claimed a black man stole her car until she confessed a week later. And then of course there was that support group Butters' parents were with. God damn I love how fucked up that show is.

Randy is my favorite character, and the "Bro Down" episode about men going to Broadway plays is my favorite episode, but I think that "joker lips" line might be my favorite South Park line ever.

I forget where I was, but I need to go back to watching all of the episodes ever created on their website.

Oh the Satan and Saddam stuff is hilarious. I haven't seen any of the newer stuff but my favorite is still Timmy vs Jimmy.

I haven't watched South Park in a while, but Butters is one of my favorite characters.

Every time I thought one of those you mentioned was my favorite character too, you reminded me of another one I really like. I think I like all the South Park characters. They're all so good.

Oddly i couldn't get into this series myself. and this comign from a guy that enjoyed watching aqua teen hunger force. I know it's a bad comparision but both I found weird yet that's the one I stuck with while letting South park pass on by.
