South Park Characters and Cultural Impact

The four main boys of South Park have distinct personalities: Cartman (manipulative, racist, selfish, and charismatic - One of television's great antiheroes), Stan (the "everyman," representing reason and empathy), Kyle (the moral center of the show, frequently at odds with Cartman), and Kenny (frequently killed in earlier episodes, muffled by his parka so his dialogue is unintelligible). Supporting characters include Randy Marsh (Stan's scientifically-minded but often irresponsible father), Chef (the school chef voiced by Isaac Hayes until 2006), Mr. Garrison (the boys' teacher who later became President of the United States in later seasons), and Butters Stotch (an innocent, endearing boy who is frequently manipulated).

South Park is remarkable for its production speed - New episodes are typically produced in just 6 days, allowing the show to comment on current events with remarkable timeliness. The show premiered in August 1997 and has run for 27+ seasons, making it the longest-running animated series on American cable television. Episodes have tackled topics including religion (multiple episodes about Jesus, Muhammad, and various faiths), politics (featuring versions of numerous presidents and political figures), celebrity culture (countless satirical portrayals), and social issues. The show's production company owns both South Park and the rights to all its characters. Test your South Park knowledge - Also try our Simpsons quiz and our Family Guy quiz.
