| The following is a list of ]s in the animated television series '']''. The list does not include the ], ] or ]. | |||
| ==Al Gore== | |||
| "''']'''" (voiced by Trey Parker in the "]" episode and Matt Stone in "]" episode) is the former ] and also tries to alert the children of South Park of a mystical creature named "ManBearPig". He constantly says "I'm super cereal!" and "excelsior!" during certain situations; he also appears to be ignorant and insecure. | |||
| Gore also appears in during the ] where he's shown wearing a red cape and yelling "excelsior!"; he also appears in the '']'' video game. | |||
| ==Big Gay Al== | |||
| {{Redirect|Big Gay Al|the first season episode|Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride}} | |||
| '''Big Gay Al''' (speaking voice ], singing voice ]) is a ] man known for his flamboyant and positive demeanor, frequently stating when gretting people, "I'm super! Thanks for asking!" In the series' fourth episode, "]", he runs an animal farm for gay animals who have been rejected by homophobic pet owners. He temporarily adopts ], Stan's gay dog, who had run away from home for this reason. Later on in the episode, his shelter vanishes, but the various animals remained, and are adopted by their former owners who had missed them greatly. | |||
| He has a minor role in '']'', where he is the co-host and an entertainer at a ] show, in which he performs his own musical number called "I'm Super". | |||
| In the episode "]", he is the leader of the boys' Mountain Scout troop, but is fired after parents of the children express misgivings their sons being influenced by a gay scout leader. The boys rally to have him reinstated, and with the help of attorney ], win a Supreme Court case to this effect. However, Al rejects this, saying that he knows the Scouts are still good men, and since the Scouts are a private club, they should have the right to exclude people if they choose to, just as he has the right to express himself as a gay man. | |||
| Big Gay Al eventually enters into a relationship with ], the ex-boyfriend of ], whom he marries in "]". | |||
| Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave later appeared in an attempt to help the boys change the definition of the word ] in "]". | |||
| ==Darryl Weathers== | |||
| '''Darryl Weathers''' (voiced by Trey Parker) is a worker from the Construction Workers' Union whose ] consists of variations on the phrase "They took our jobs!", with "jobs" pronounced roughly "]" or "]" and with the phrase's verb tense and subject and predicate number changed as appropriate for the context. His appearance, modeled on that of ], features thick red hair and a large red mustache. His first appearance is in "]", in which he hosts a rally of many working-class men upset over losing their jobs to the Goobacks, time traveling immigrants from the future who work for next to nothing. When he appears on '']'' to discuss his views, he is introduced by the host as "Pissed-Off White Trash Redneck-Conservative", and his opponent "Aging-Hippie-Liberal-Douche". He and the other men decide to all "get gay" with one another, having homosexual sex in the hopes that this will prevent future generations of children that will give rise to the Goobacks. He subsequently appears briefly in the opening act of "]", in which he is angered at ] for putting a homemade ticket on his car because of its gas consumption. He later appears in the episode "]" in which he again loses his job, this time to economic hardships, and in "]", in which he becomes a fan of the W.T.F wrestling league and repeats his catchphrase with many variations like "They Broke His Jaw". | |||
| ==Dr. Alphonse Mephesto and Kevin== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Dr. Alphonse Mephesto''' (also spelled and pronounced '''Mephisto'''<ref>, South Park Character Guide, South Park Studios, accessed April 22, 2011.</ref> while once referenced as "Alfonz Mephesto";<ref>Season 3 episode "Spontaneous Combustion"</ref> voiced by ]) is a ] who specializes in ], and has a son named Terrance (not to be confused with Terrance from '']''). The character is a reference to ]'s portrayal of ] in the 1996 film version of '']''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://southpark.cc.com/fans/faq/archives.php?id=1673 |title=FAQ - South Park Studios |date=4 April 2008 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080404233334/http://www.southparkstudios.com/fans/faq/archives.php?id=1673 |archive-date=4 April 2008 }}</ref> He always tries to help those who require his talents, but his experiments sometimes go wrong and put the whole town in danger. | |||
| Like Dr. Moreau, Dr. Mephesto creates strange creatures with his talents, such as animals with multiple sets of buttocks. Mephesto believes it is for the good of the Earth, and that one-assed animals are useless and must be destroyed. In "]", he even goes as far as presenting a "seven-assed Galapagos Turtle" in an attempt to win a ], but loses to ]'s "Unified Theory of Fart Thing". He genetically splices a squirrel with ] cheese in "]". He also performs experiments ranging from simple DNA tests to creating a genetic clone of Stan Marsh for his son's science project in "]". Mephesto also provides normal genetic testing services, as when Cartman has him determine who was his father in "]" and "]". Mephesto has a brother who attempts to kill him every month for unrevealed reasons, as mentioned in the aforementioned episode. However, in the episode 201, it is revealed that his brother actually shot him in an attempt to keep Cartman's father from being revealed. Playing on his real-world origins, he is a member of the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes, a group not fond of "that other ]", as seen in "Cartman Joins NAMBLA". | |||
| '''Kevin''' is Dr. Mephesto's silent companion, described as "that little monkey guy". He is a small creature who dresses like Dr. Mephesto and is based on Majai, a character created for the 1996 film adaptation of ''The Island of Dr. Moreau''. While Kevin's exact nature is never addressed on the show, his story is told in the song "Mephesto and Kevin" by ] from '']''. He was apparently a failed attempt to create a perfect pop singer, a test tube baby created from ] sperm and the egg of an unspecified, musically talented female donor, brought to term inside the womb of a llama. | |||
| In "]", Cartman's DNA paternity test from "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" was revisited. Cartman learns that results he was given were tampered with. In the next episode, "]", Dr. Mephesto tells Cartman that his real father is ]. The character has made sporadic background appearances since.<ref>Season 19 episode "The City Part of Town"</ref> | |||
| ==Dr. Doctor== | |||
| '''Dr. Doctor''', also known as '''Dr. Horatio Gouache''', is a South Park doctor primarily seen during scenes set at Hell's Pass Hospital, known for making unusual medical diagnoses, including instances in which he ] abstract or metaphorical ideas as actual diseases or injuries. In "]", after Cartman is admitted to the hospital following his possession by the soul of his deceased friend, ], the Doctor's diagnosis is "his time is running out", and uses that phrase as if it were a literal medical diagnosis, explaining if he does not get a "time transplant", he will die. In the episode "]", which is a spoof of the film '']'', the Doctor treats ] after Randy is "served" (slang term for being defeated in a dance competition) by a group of street dancers, as if "being served" constitutes an actual physical transgression that incurs major injuries. In "]", he treats the kids of South Park after ], even though they were merely the victim of mild abuse such as the "second-degree titty twister". In "]", after Cartman is hospitalized following an attempt to fly by jumping off a roof with cardboard wings, the Doctor tells his mother that he is "incredibly stupid" and that the stupidity caused the fall. | |||
| In recent years, South Park has employed a number of unnamed, recurring doctor characters, but Dr. Doctor continues to appear occasionally, including in "]" where his actions and mistaken research lead to the return of KFCs and re-illegalization of marijuana. | |||
| In the series, he has been voiced by ] since 1997, though he was voiced by ] in the 1999 feature film '']'', in which his character was called Dr. Gouache. Although he wears a name tag also identifying him as "Dr. Doctor", he was called "Dr. Gouache" in "Cartman's Incredible Gift". In "Medicinal Fried Chicken", his medical degree on the wall refers to him as Dr. Horatio Gouache. | |||
| ==Father Maxi== | |||
| '''Father Maxi''' (a.k.a. '''Priest Maxi'''<ref>He is referred to as such at the end of "]".</ref>) (voiced by Matt Stone) is a ] priest. His name is a play on that of British singer ]. He first appeared in the first-season episode "]". In the episode "]", Maxi, in his hatred of Halloween, kills many South Park citizens in order to convince people that Halloween is evil. In "]", he claims that Timmy will go to Hell, since Timmy's mental disabilities make it impossible for him to confess his sins. | |||
| Though Father Maxi is a priest and required to be celibate, he does not seem to regularly practice this. Like most of the adults in South Park, he has had sex with ] at some point in his life, and was caught having sex with a "Mrs. Donovan". In "]", he admitted to having gone through a homosexual phase in his youth, but claims to be reformed. However, he apparently once had a relationship with a man named Peterson whom he was supposed to be reforming of homosexuality. | |||
| In "]", he pursues ] as the only uncorrupted priest in the episode, and espouses a version of ] in saying that the ] is a collection of moral parables meant to act as an ethical guide, and not be taken literally. In "]", he officiates Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave's wedding, despite his earlier stand against homosexuality. In "]", he is seen outside his chapel displaying a "]" sign towards an obnoxious gang of ] riders, who have been deemed as "fags" under city ordinance. | |||
| ==God== | |||
| ''']''' is portrayed on ''South Park'' as a small ]-like creature with a body and ears covered in brown fur, a green head with a wide mouth, green, circular feet, and a tail. His first appearance was in the third-season episode "]" as part of the millennial celebrations. Instead of answering one of the more profound questions from the crowd, he instead answers Stan's question of why he has not experienced his first ] and his friends have. God responds that Cartman and Kenny have been suffering from an intestinal virus and Kyle has been lying. | |||
| He reappears in the second part of "]", in which he gives advice to ] regarding his relationship troubles. He advises Satan that his indecisiveness over which suitor to choose stems from the fact that he has never learned to feel good about himself, and thus has become addicted to relationships. God advises Satan to spend some time alone, to find "the balance, the middle ground", explaining "That's what I always do because I'm a ]" (this despite the fact that only ] are allowed in heaven). | |||
| In the ninth-season episode "]", in responses to the dwindling population of Heaven, and the war that Hell declares on Heaven, God begins to allow others into Heaven, in order to build up Heaven's army to protect God's Kingdom. Heaven implements this recruitment by creating the ] video game console, in order to find a ] who can lead God's army, which turns out to be Kenny. | |||
| God is included as a figure with the ''South Park'' series 3 ] action figure by Mezco. He is voiced by Trey Parker. | |||
| ==Jesus== | |||
| ] | |||
| ''']''' (voiced by ]) is a character based on the biblical Jesus. On ''South Park'', Jesus had his own ] ] show called ''Jesus and Pals''. He was killed while fighting Iraqis during an attempt to rescue ] on Christmas Eve in the episode "]". This was his last major role on the show until he was ] five years later in the eleventh-season episode "]". | |||
| He is portrayed as represented in Christian thought—''i.e.'', he is the Son of God, has numerous miraculous powers (including prophecy, healing and resurrection), as well as the ability to fly and expert carpentry skills. The exact nature of his abilities varies from episode to episode—for example, "]" portrays some of his most famous miracles as farces, despite still having basic powers, while in "]", he claims to only have his powers after being killed and resurrected, so he makes Kyle kill him so he can save the Easter bunny. | |||
| Jesus is usually portrayed as being calm and self-assured, being kind and peaceable to everyone; nevertheless, he often acts more typical of ''South Park'' characters. He is often seen, for example, fighting villains, and while inept at it in "]", he later is shown ("]", "]" and "]") as being very skilled with guns, swords and a ] (in "Imaginationland III" he leads the charge of the good imaginary characters into battle.) He makes a cameo as a soldier in '']'', implying that he is on the American side. He is also a member of the ], a group of religious figures who fight against the forces of evil (except for ], who does not believe in evil). | |||
| In the ''Jesus vs. Frosty'' short which started ''South Park'', the boys make a snowman which comes to life after they put a hat on him. The snowman kills Cartman and Kenny and even poses as Santa. Stan and Kyle are the only ones left and seek help from a baby Jesus who comes alive from a Nativity Scene and knocks Frosty's hat off. In ''Jesus vs. Santa'', Jesus arrives from Heaven to seek retribution. He wants to get rid of Santa once and for all since people don't see Christmas as Jesus's birthday anymore. With help from ], the boys tell Jesus that Santa is keeping his birthday alive and they tell Santa if it was not for Jesus there wouldn't be a Christmas. At that point, both Santa and Jesus apologized to each other, and Jesus decided to offer Santa an orange smoothie, which Santa likes. Some footage from this short was used in the episode "]". | |||
| Before his second death, Jesus hosted a television talk show called ''Jesus and Pals'' on South Park ] ]. Jesus would often receive on-air calls from guests, and would be depicted as reluctant to respond to questions regarding issues such as ], ] and his own ]. In the episode "]", Jesus's show entered a ratings war with ] and ]'s hunting program ''Huntin' and Killin'''. The show's producer, in an attempt to increase ratings, fabricates controversy between guests, and Jesus and Pals turns into a ]-style farce. During live production of the face-off between Ned and Jimbo vs. the children on Jesus and Pals, a brawl erupts between the guests and audience. It led to a huge fight until Jesus discovered what happened, and sent his producer to Hell. In ''Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut'', when Mr. Garrison asks "who here hasn't had sex with Mrs. Cartman", Jesus and Priest Maxi exchange uncomfortable glances, implying that he, like most everyone else in South Park, has at some point had a relationship with Cartman's mother. | |||
| In the Imaginationland-trilogy he is depicted as ''"one of the most revered fictional characters"'' and a member of the Council of Nine. To add to the confusion: in previous ''"South Park"'' episodes Jesus interacted in real life with other South Park citizens, just like ] who is also shown in the'' "Imaginationland"'' episodes as a fictional character. Other famous religious icons such as ], ], ], ] and ] are also shown as citizens of Imaginationland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/south_park_imaginationland.htm |title=South Park: Imaginationland |publisher=Hometheaterinfo.com |access-date=2010-06-02}}</ref> | |||
| Despite the subject material, the South Park iteration of Jesus was absent from the episode "]", an eighth-season episode dealing with Mel Gibson's movie ''The Passion of the Christ'' and the various responses to the film from the four principal characters as well as the rest of the town itself. | |||
| ==Joseph Smith== | |||
| ''']''', the founder of Mormonism, made his first appearance in "]" in which he was depicted as a member of a superhero group composed of the central figures of many of Earth's religions. He later appeared in "]", which depicts the events in his life that led to the founding of Mormonism, and in the two-part episodes "]" and "]". | |||
| ==Lennart Bedrager (The Troll Hunter)== | |||
| '''Lennart Bedrager''' (known in most promotional materials as '''The Troll Hunter''') is the CEO of a startup company in ] and the main antagonist of the latter half of ]. Following the suicide of a Danish celebrity brought on by ] from ], Bedrager leads a war against internet trolling as a whole. He creates a service called "TrollTrace," which aims to allow people to run internet posts through their database and match them to a name and physical location. When questioned about TrollTrace's potential for misuse, Bedrager simply states that it is only intended for use against trolls. When TrollTrace is launched in the town of ], it descends into chaos, necessitating that it be walled off from the rest of the world. Bedrager makes a deal with ] to shut down TrollTrace in exchange for Gerald and other trolls he's associated with. Upon capturing the trolls, however, Bedrager states that his true intentions are to pit countries against each other and destroy society so that he can create a new one "where everyone is happy, and singing, and has no secrets. Like Denmark." Later, it is revealed that this is a sham, and that Bedrager is actually an American who lied his way to leadership in Denmark so that he could initiate World War III for his own amusement. Bedrager is killed in the season 20 finale when Gerald throws him down a chasm in the TrollTrace building after the two characters argue about the nature of trolling. | |||
| Bedrager is voiced by Trey Parker. His surname roughly translates to "deceiver" or "con-man" in English, hinting at his darker intentions. | |||
| ==Loogie== | |||
| '''Loogie''' (or '''Luigi''') made his first appearance in "]". When the boys try to make money by snatching ] money left underneath other boys' pillows, they encounter another set of boys trying to do the same thing. These rivals bring the boys back to Loogie, whereupon they learn that the Tooth Fairy business is actually a crime syndicate, with Loogie being portrayed as a youth ]. He wears a ] and his headquarters is a basement ] restaurant. Instead of merely dressing up like the Tooth Fairy and procuring the money, he has an entire ] of employees who procure the teeth and inspect them for quality. When the boys attempt to break off into their own independent syndicate, Loogie intervenes and targets Kenny to teach them a lesson (which is a spoof on common Mafia practices). He is voiced primarily by ], although the final recordings were performed by ].<ref>On the DVD Commentary, Parker and Stone mention that this was because Belzer could not be at the recording studio at 4am.</ref> He made another cameo appearance in "]", where he was one of twenty candidates to replace the then-deceased Kenny in the boys' group. He survived the first round to become a ] but was one of four boys cut in the second round. In this episode, when his name was called out to advance to the next round, he was referred to as "Luigi". | |||
| To date, the show has not specified whether the character's name is actually Loogie, such that the "Luigi" reference is a "nod" or "nonce usage", or whether instead his given name is Luigi and the appellation "Loogie" is a (likely ]) nickname. | |||
| ==Mayor McDaniels== | |||
| '''Mayor Mary McDaniels''' is the mayor of South Park. In one episode, she is discovered ordering Officer Barbrady to perform ] on her, and in another, she indicates obliquely that they have had dealings with the Japanese mafia.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} Her civic ideas for the city are often made without regard for future consequences, which are usually disastrous. In "]", she tries to resolve offended feelings towards the public school Christmas play by having a play created that makes no references to any religion or religious holiday, resulting in an esoteric production that all the townspeople loathe. In "]", after all fireworks are declared illegal with the exception of ], the town is endangered by a giant snake she arranges to have set off. She attempts suicide in "]", after a ] music festival she signs the permit for has deleterious effects on the town. In "]", when Garrison asks the question of who has not slept with Mrs. Cartman, she exchanges uncomfortable glances with ]. | |||
| McDaniels was conceived because Trey Parker and Matt Stone wanted the mayor to be someone more sophisticated than other South Park residents and believed she was better than the rest of the town.<ref name="Commentary">{{cite video | people=Trey Parker, Matt Stone|date=2003|title=South Park: The Complete First Season: "Weight Gain 4000"|format=Audio commentary |medium=CD|publisher=Comedy Central}}</ref> | |||
| ==Old Mechanic== | |||
| The '''Old Mechanic''' (also known as the '''Old Farmer''') is a nameless character who wears a wide-brimmed ] and ], and speaks with a heavy ]. He resembles ]'s portrayal of the character Jud Crandlow in the 1989 film '']'', parodying Crandall's character by ominously sharing horror stories from the past and warning people not to repeat them. Mechanic is only in episodes prominently featuring the Stotch family. | |||
| His first appearance is in "]", in which he directs Butters down a dark road to South Park, giving the horrific history of the road to him, ending his speech with "Yah, lotta history down that road." | |||
| He appears again in "]" when he tries to talk Stan out of racing down the K-13 while giving the terrible history about the run and the lives lost on it, ending his speech with "Yah, a lotta history on that ski run." | |||
| A more direct parody of '']'' is made in "]" when he spontaneously tries to talk Chris Stotch out of burying what he believes to be Butters' body on an Indian burial ground (despite the fact that Stotch had not given any indication of being aware of that location, let alone burying Butters there), saying, "Don't bury your son's body at the Indian burial ground, Stotch! The one that's right up over there, behind the Andersons' barn...", closing with Crandall's signature line "Sometimes... dead is better". | |||
| He appears again in the season 16 episode "]", telling the husbands of South Park how the local milkman used to have sex with everyone's wives, warning the husbands they may be suffering a similar fate at the hands of the UPS man and bluntly instructing them to kill him. | |||
| In the season 23 episode "]", he again makes a cameo appearance; this time working at the ]. Butters, under the alias "Archaeologist Butters", found him while looking for the last stamp in his stampbook. The Mechanic, next to the exhibit Butters is looking for, warns Butters not to put the stamp in the book, warning "nobody puts that stamp in their stampbook." Butters ignores his advice and stamps anyway. He appears again near the end of the episode. | |||
| ==Member Berries== | |||
| '''Member Berries''' are talking anthropomorphic fruits that resemble grapes with faces. They are voiced by Trey Parker and serve as the main antagonists of the first half of ]. They ] for anyone who eats them, acting as a sort of anti-depressant. As such, most of their dialogue consists of asking people if they "'member" various pop culture elements from the 1980s and 1990s (chiefly '']'' characters and plot points). However, the berries are shown to have sinister intentions. In addition to making cultural references, they also try to instill fear and hatred by asking people if they remember such things such as "when there weren't so many Mexicans," "feeling safe," and "when marriage was just between a man and a woman." | |||
| They possess the ability to take control of people who eat them, who in turn can brainwash others by vomiting their juices into their faces (a reference to ]'s ]). It is suggested that they are being utilized by ] to brainwash people into liking ], though this has yet to be confirmed within the series. While initially suggested to be a ], Member Berries are later shown to be capable of acting independently of one another. They are organized in a way similar to the ] and led by an aged "]" berry who plans to bring back ] (as opposed to ]). | |||
| Their story-line is not resolved by the end of the season, and they disappear completely in the final two episodes, save for a brief cameo in the finale. They later make a cameo in season 21, still in the White House with Garrison. | |||
| ==Moses== | |||
| ''']''', the Jewish prophet, appears in "]" as the focus of a ritual in which Jews make macaroni pictures, popcorn necklaces and soap carvings at a Jewish scout camp. His appearance is patterned after the ] from the film '']'' and a large glowing floating ].<ref name="faq-5feb2008">{{cite web|url=https://southpark.cc.com/fans/faq/archives.php?month=2&year=2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822104710/http://www.southparkstudios.com/fans/faq/archives.php?month=2&year=2008 |archive-date=2008-08-22 |title=FAQ: February 2008 |access-date=2009-07-07 |date=2008-02-05 |publisher=southparkstudios.com |url-status=dead }}</ref> The episode's ] antagonist, Garth, captures him in a conch shell before calling upon the Biblical character ]. ], who had been banished from the camp by Moses for not being Jewish, saves the camp by breaking the conch shell open with his head. | |||
| Moses also appears in the episode "]", in which he acts as the computer at the Super Best Friends headquarters, and demonstrates the ability to play a tape by having it inserted through a port in his front. Additionally, Moses appears at the Hall of the Super Best Friends in the episode "]", where he offers the opinion that it would be acceptable for the Islamic prophet ] to appear in South Park in a ], if the U-Haul has no windows. | |||
| == Mickey Mouse == | |||
| ] is the ruthless boss of the Disney corporation. He appears in ] where he forces the ] to continue to wear ] against their wishes to preserve the marketability of the band and provide cover for their sex appeal to young girls. In ], he goes on a drug-fueled escapade with ] in ] and they end up being responsible for the ] of the ]. | |||
| ==Mr. Hankey== | |||
| {{Redirect|Mr. Hankey|the first season episode|Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo|the third season episode, or the musical CD of the same name|Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics}} | |||
| '''Mr. Hankey''' the "Christmas Poo", voiced by Trey Parker, is a sentient, talking piece of ]. He first appeared in the first-season episode "]". He emerges from the toilet bowl on Christmas Eve and brings presents to good boys and girls whose diets have been high in ]. He is especially close to ], consoling him during his Christmas–Hanukkah depression and generally appears to help the boys out with something or gives them advice. Mr. Hankey has appeared in various Christmas episodes, and inspired an actual retail CD '']'' in which he has his own theme song. In his first appearance, he appeared anthropomorphic only to Kyle and Chef, although he often leaves a trail behind that is attributed by the adults to antisocial behavior by Kyle. Due to his physical state, he can only emerge from the sewers during the Christmas season or he will dry up and die. In "]" Mr. Hankey begins sending angry tweets after being fired from his job of Christmas pageant director for his offensive behavior, a reference to a then-recent scandal involving actress ].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/south-park-goes-roseanne-barr-simpsons-apu-character-1151462|title='South Park' Goes After Roseanne Barr, 'Simpsons' Apu Character|website=]|access-date=October 11, 2018|date=October 10, 2018|last=Parker|first=Ryan|language=en}}</ref> Mr. Hankey leaves town, in search of a place that still accepts objectionable, racist beings like him.

| '''Mr. Kitty''' is a grey housecat owned by ], prone to showing interest in Cartman's food, to which Cartman usually responds, "No, Mr. Kitty, that's mine! That's a bad kitty!", but Cartman doesn't know that his cat is actually a girl. Her first appearance was in "]". In the episode "]", she was voiced by ]. In the episode "]", a kindhearted and generous Cartman from a parallel universe arrives and is friendly to Kitty, much to our universe's Cartman's irritation. Kitty's most prominent role was in the season 3 episode "]". Mr. Kitty was mentioned in "]" as being part of the list of beings to whom Cartman needed to apologize in order to reach ]. Although Mr. Kitty is indicated to be female in "Cat Orgy", in the season 12 episode "]", the children experiment with Mr. Kitty's urine after learning that the urine of male cats can cause ]. | |||
| ==Ned Gerblansky== | |||
| '''Ned Gerblansky''' (voiced by Trey Parker) and his best friend ] represent South Park's large population of stereotypical "rednecks". They are obsessed with large trucks, beer, guns, explosions, and killing animals. They detest liberals and circumvent hunting regulations, which they refer to as anti-hunting laws, by yelling, "it's coming right for us!" before shooting any animal, thereby justifying the kill as self-defense. After a court ruling, they are seen shooting animals so as to "thin out their numbers", despite the fact that they are shown shooting at endangered species while shouting, "it's coming right for us!" | |||
| Jimbo and Ned met while in the ], where Jimbo was a helicopter pilot. During the war, Ned lost his right arm when a hand grenade exploded in his hand. Ned also lost his formerly mellifluous voice due to cancer, apparently caused by cigarette smoking, and is forced to speak with an ]. Despite the fact that Ned lost one of his arms, he can still wield two-handed weapons, such as a flamethrower, and even an ] in '']''. It was revealed in the episode "Summer Sucks" that Ned has an ex-wife, though her name is never mentioned. He is attacked by ManBearPig in "]", and is not seen again until "]", where he is shown alive, but heavily injured. | |||
| Ned and Jimbo were inspired by characters Trey Parker used to draw during high school.<ref name="Commentary" /> | |||
| ==Nellie and Thomas McElroy== | |||
| '''Nellie''' and '''Thomas McElroy''' are the parents of ] and are voiced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone respectively. They first appear in the episode "]", when they come to South Park for Chef's wedding. They appear later in the episode "]" when Chef takes ] and ] to his parents' manor house in ]. They perform a shaman-esque ritual to exorcize ] soul from Cartman's body. In "]", they are seen in a crowd during the town's Christmas celebration. They are not seen at Chef's funeral in "]". | |||
| The McElroys' main subject of conversation is their supposed encounters with the ]. They repeatedly claim that they have seen him on multiple occasions, and are constantly harassed by him, as he tries to swindle them out of $3.50 ("tree fiddy"). According to Thomas, the monster has pretended to be a Girl Scout, an alien, and Chef's imaginary friend from childhood. | |||
| ==Officer Barbrady== | |||
| '''Officer Barbrady''' (voiced by Trey Parker) is a South Park city police officer who is extremely incompetent at what he does and is generally a bumbling oaf, incapable of solving any of the crimes he is charged to investigate. He even unintentionally helped Mr. Garrison try to kill ]. ] still often summons him, as he actually ''does'' keep the peace in South Park, as shown in "]" when shortly after he quits, the city falls into chaos. Officer Barbrady does not drink coffee, as seen in episode "]"; he instead prefers to get hit in the face by a cat swung by the tail. He is slightly ] and talks louder than he should, most likely because of his hearing aid. | |||
| Barbrady was illiterate until season two's "Chickenlover". After his illiteracy was exposed, Barbrady was ordered to learn how to read by the Mayor. ] made him learn to read by leaving the notes at the crime scenes describing where he would strike next. Barbrady was thankful at first to Chickenlover, but arrested him nonetheless for his crimes. Chickenlover then gave him the book '']'' by ], which Barbrady thought was such an awful book that he vowed never to read anything ever again. | |||
| In "Chickenlover" and "]" Barbrady claims to have a wife. However, she has never appeared on the show. In other episodes, it has been implied that he and Mayor McDaniels are in a relationship, despite her general disdain for him. | |||
| In the season seven episode "]", Barbrady claims, while being interrogated by ]-like character Josh, that he was beaten with a belt by his uncle and that his father forced him to wear a dress and sit on all of his uncles' laps on poker night. Josh interjects that this is the reason he became a police officer in the first place; to protect himself. | |||
| Parker's voice for Officer Barbrady was inspired by ], a syndicated radio talk show host, who Parker said he and Stone liked to make fun of for his "big, bombastic, stupid voice".<ref name="Commentary" /> | |||
| In "Chickenlover", it was established that Barbrady was the only police officer in town. In later seasons, he was phased out in favor of an actual police force, led by the equally incompetent Sgt. Harrison Yates. Barbrady's role in the series has decreased as a result, but he still appears regularly, such as in "]" while protecting the town, and was considered a possible father for Eric Cartman, having been in the room on ]; however, this was ruled out when the true identity of Eric Cartman's father was revealed in "]". He also played a very prominent role in the 2015 episode "]" . In which we see him without his trademark ] and his home interior, along with an ageing dog that requires medication. | |||
| ==Saddam Hussein== | |||
| ''']''' is depicted with appearance and mannerisms that differ dramatically from the real Saddam Hussein. ] performs his voice even though he is credited as himself in the credits of ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut''. He first appeared in the season 2 episode '']'', and later in '']'' as the film's main antagonist, in which he is revealed to be residing in Hell as ]'s lover. Though Satan eventually kills him in the film, he returns to Hell in the series, and remains a recurring character until "]". | |||
| Saddam Hussein's body is made in the usual ''South Park'' style (resembling ]), but his head is a photograph cutout, a technique also used with appearance by ] and ] (in his appearance in "]").<ref>{{cite web|url=https://southpark.cc.com/clips/104392/ben-assfleck|title=Ben Assfleck}}</ref> His head is cut into two pieces, which come apart like a Canadian when he talks, instead of having a conventionally articulated mouth. | |||
| While Saddam on ''South Park'' is based on the real-life Saddam, he has a very high-pitched voice, is ], speaks English and often calmly uses ] ], as when he says, "relax guy". He was so emotionally abusive to Satan during their relationship that Satan ultimately exiles him to Heaven. Saddam attempts to conquer Canada in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" and "It's Christmas in Canada". | |||
| ==Santa Claus== | |||
| ''']''' (voiced by ]) lives at the North Pole in his ], aided two months out of the year by the ]. Santa is often shown with ''South Park's'' other Christmas-related characters, Mr. Hankey and Jesus. His relationship with the latter has been rocky. In the animated short, "]", Jesus and Santa had a fight to determine what the true meaning of Christmas was—giving or Jesus' birth. With some advice from ], the boys told Jesus that Santa keeps the spirit of Christmas alive, and then told Santa that if it wasn't for Jesus there would be no Christmas at all. The two reconciled, though they would later fight again in "]", when Santa felt unhappy that there are more Jesus-related Christmas songs than ones about him. Nevertheless, they made up again, and Jesus later lost his life to save Santa from Iraqis in "]". To commemorate his good friend, Santa declares that in every Christmas, everyone should remember Jesus. | |||
| ==Satan== | |||
| ] | |||
| ''']''' is a recurring character, based on the ] figure of the ], voiced by ]. He presides over ] and is constantly at war with God, but is often depicted as a sensitive and emotionally vulnerable person who has suffered from dependence on relationships. | |||
| Many of Satan's appearances on ''South Park'' (as well as his role in the film '']'') focus on his romantic attachments, all of which so far have been ]. In the film, he and his lover, ], plot to take over Earth by fulfilling an ancient prophecy. However, as a result of Saddam's abusive treatment of Satan, the latter has a change of heart by the end of the film. Satan calls off his attack upon Earth. Satan subsequently has two other partners, Chris and Kevin (see below). Satan also has a son named ], who, while never specifically labeled as the ], is based on the character from ''].'' | |||
| According to the audio commentary for the episode "]", ''South Park'' creators Trey Parker and ] came up with the idea of Satan and Saddam Hussein being lovers on the set of '']'', where they would attempt to impress girls by improvising scenes between the two characters, one assuming the role of Satan and one of Saddam. Parker also mentions on the same commentary track that he and Stone were inspired to make Satan a wimp by the character of ] in '']''. | |||
| Satan has tried three times so far in the course of ''South Park'''s run to take over Earth: in the episodes "]" and "]", and also in the feature film ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut''. All three attempts failed, with the last also leading to Satan's breakup and out-of-anger murder of his then-boyfriend Saddam Hussein, although his attempt in "]" was fake—the real reason he did it was to get rich on the money that the townsfolk had bet on him. | |||
| Satan has been depicted in three romantic relationships. His most significant relationship was with Saddam Hussein in ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.'' However, Saddam was emotionally abusive to the meek and emotionally dependent Satan, and was interested in Satan solely for sex and world domination than out of love. With some prompting from ], Satan stands up to Saddam, casts him back down into hell, impaling him on a ], and calls off his invasion of Earth. | |||
| Saddam is seen again in "]". By this time Satan has a new boyfriend named Chris, a passive ] who avoids conflict and confrontation. Saddam asserts to Satan that Chris is not fit for Satan, who truly prefers rebellious troublemakers like Saddam himself, and after inviting Saddam to his hotel room, the conflicted Satan spends the night with him. Subsequently, Chris and Saddam began to kill each other over and over again—appearing alive in Hell the next day—until Satan seeks God's advice. God points out to Satan that Satan is too dependent on relationships, and needs to learn to develop his own sense of independence and self-worth, rather than choose partners who are bad for him. Satan decides to break up with both Saddam and Chris, and when Saddam refuses to acknowledge Satan's wishes, Satan banishes Saddam to Heaven, which is populated entirely by ]. | |||
| In the 2005 episode "]", Satan has another boyfriend named Kevin, who acts as his advisor, and urges Satan along in his attempts to conquer the universe; however, when it is clear the battle is lost for them and the figure continues to press him, Satan breaks up with Kevin and dispatches him. | |||
| In the Season 18 episode "]", Satan is summoned to explain the evils of the ] pricing model to Stan, who has been spending exorbitant amounts of money in the Terrance and Phillip game app. He then realizes the culprit, and temporarily takes over Stan's soul to fight the Canadian devil. | |||
| In the Season 22 episode "]" Satan is summoned by Stan, Kenny, Cartman, Kyle, and Al Gore to provide information on ManBearPig, and instructs them to go to the library. In “]” Cartman convinces Satan to defeat ManBearPig. Satan engages in a brutal fight with ManBearPig, ending in Satan's death and subsequent ascension to Heaven. | |||
| ==Scott the Dick== | |||
| '''Scott''' is ] where he is a ] for ]s and is known by most Canadians as being obnoxious and "a ]", as evidenced by his nickname. He is uptight and short-tempered, especially with ]'s ] (as a result he wishes that Terrence and Phillip had cancer) and almost all the rest of his Canadian ilk though he has patriotism for his country and expresses special contempt for ] and ] towards the ] people. Scott was also Saddam Hussein's advisor twice, first in "]" and then to the new Prime Minister of Canada in "]", who turned out to be Saddam in disguise. | |||
| Scott's first appearance was in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", where he was shown to be the nemesis of Terrance and Phillip. He then appeared in "real life" during "It's Christmas in Canada", attempting to stop the boys from getting ]'s brother ] back. Scott returned in the season 15 episode "]", labeled as "The Giant" due to radiation poisoning in ] causing him to grow to slightly larger in size. After being wrongly accused of abducting the Princess of Canada, Scott helps in her rescue from ] and is awarded the Canadian Medal of Courage. | |||
| ==Harrison Yates== | |||

The Park County Police Department was first seen with a similar character named Lieutenant Dawson in "]", also voiced by Parker with a similar design, voice, and role, while Yates was first shown working for the ] in "]" in a similar building. Yates was briefly shown working for the older South Park Police Department in "]". Though the character has since been firmly established as a detective in South Park, occasionally he is still seen elsewhere - in "]" he and his men were investigating the theft of an ] whale in ]. | |||
| In "]", he is first introduced as South Park's police sergeant when he learns that a wealthy black man named Mr. Jefferson has moved into South Park, he leads a police conspiracy to frame the man for ], but aborts the plan when he actually sees the light-skinned Mr. Jefferson, and becomes disillusioned with the long-time police tradition of ]. (In actuality, Mr. Jefferson was an incognito ]). In "Cartman's Incredible Gift", when a ] strikes South Park, Yates becomes enamored with the idea that Cartman has psychic powers that can capture the killer, and dismisses proven ] such as fingerprinting and blood analysis as "hocus pocus". As a result, he arrests and even kills a number of innocent people based on Cartman's alleged "psychic visions", failing to identify the killer as such when he first investigates him, despite an overabundance of evidence, and nearly letting him go free. | |||
| In "]", he initially takes no action when it is reported that ]'s kindergarten teacher is having sex with him, because he finds the idea of a female teacher having sex with a male student alluring. In the season 13 episode "]", Yates goes undercover as a (female) ] to try and crack down on prostitution in South Park—and insists on going through various sexual acts (including ] and a ]) before arresting the clients.

He was once again referred to as Harrison Yates by his wife in the season 19 episode "]", seeming to confirm Harris as a nickname. | |||
| Yates was often seen with his gray-haired partner '''Detective Mitch Murphey''', voiced by Matt Stone. Murphey, along with the rest of the Park County Police Department, is generally shown to be more sensible and less corrupt than Yates, often following his example reluctantly, although they are still prone to the typical incompetence seen in the show's adults. Murphey has also been referred to by the name Harris ("The Jeffersons" and "Free Willzyx") but the name Murphey is used in scripts and he has been known as Mitch ("]" and "]"). Yates has referred to other officers as 'Mitch' on occasion as well, most of which have been voiced by Matt Stone. | |||
| While other members of the police force have been named and identified, only Yates and Barbrady have remained recurring characters with consistent personalities, though the relationship between the two is largely unexplored.

| ==Skeeter== | |||
| '''Skeeter''' is an ill-tempered red-haired townsperson often seen at the local bar. He has a ], and is typically portrayed as a ]. He first appeared in the episode "]", where he greets newcomers by saying, "Hey! We don't take kindly to your types in here!" This is generally followed by the bartender interjecting, "Now, calm down, Skeeter, he ain't hurtin' nobody". The bar has since come under his ownership, having been renamed Skeeter's Bar during the eleventh season, and he is portrayed as the owner in the video game "]", where he urges the player to help deal with a rodent problem and mentions taking therapy for his anger problems. | |||
| He is also shown leading various mobs in different episodes, or otherwise appears as a background character or regular townee. His most notable appearances include leading the campaign to "Free Hat McCullough" in "]", and as a war supporter who excoriates anti-war protesters in the episode "]".

Sparky also makes a cameo in "]", and was briefly seen in the episode "]". He is included as a figure with the ''South Park'' series 2 Stan action figure by ]. | |||
| ==Terrance and Phillip== | |||
| '''Terrance and Phillip''' are a ] ] duo from ] who appear on ''The Terrance and Phillip Show'', which is frequently watched by Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny. '''Terrance Henry Stoot''' of ] (voiced by ]) has black hair and wears a red shirt with a letter "T", while '''Phillip Niles Argyle''' of ] (voiced by ]) has blonde hair, diabetes, and a blue shirt with a "P". Terrance and Phillip have small beady eyes and disconnected heads which flap up and down whenever they speak, as do the majority of Canadians featured on the show. | |||
| The characters were inspired by the number of complaints about ]s in ''South Park''. In commentary during "]", the first episode in which Terrance and Phillip appeared, Stone and Parker complained of many people claiming that South Park was poorly animated and just all fart jokes. In response, the creators invented Terrance and Phillip to demonstrate just what a show that was indeed all fart jokes would be, and made it even more poorly animated. The duo can also partly be seen as a spoof of '']'', which itself was often accused of being "poorly animated" and full of "fart jokes". | |||
| Originally it was suggested that Terrance and Phillip were animations within the context of the series; later it is shown that they are 'live' actors. It is revealed in the episode "]" that Terrance and Phillip met at the "Canadian School for Gifted Babies" (a school with students who bear uncanny resemblances to Kyle's brother Ike). The duo briefly separate in this episode, with Phillip having a "serious job" as an actor in "] ]" plays. Terrance also becomes ] in this episode. | |||
| In the 1999 ] '']'', American mothers' outrage at the duo's vulgar act leads to their arrest, and a ] between Canada and the United States ensues.

| ==Towelie== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Towelie''', voiced by ], is a talking "RG-400 Smart Towel" introduced in the fifth-season episode "]". The exact details of his creation are comically confused, but he was apparently genetically engineered to be an alien spying weapon, and was stolen by a paramilitary group before he simply "got high and just sort of wandered off" to South Park. He speaks in a high-pitched voice, and is usually seen either giving towel-related advice to the citizens of South Park or, more often, getting high on ] and voicing his permanent confusion. | |||
| After Kenny's death, the boys went searching for a replacement friend in the sixth-season episode "]". Towelie, a possible candidate, was said to be "high all the time" and therefore unreliable. This episode also stated that Towelie is 17 years old in towel years. He also makes brief appearances in "]" and "]". He starred as the main character in "]", a parody of the ] that surrounded ]'s memoir '']'' on '']'', after it was discovered to have been partially fabricated. | |||
