Does Butters have the highest kill count of any South Park character?
For all Mr. and Mrs. Stotchs faults as parents, perhaps they had something wrong with the disciplinary measures they took against their son – how many thousands of innocent people would still be alive if Butters’ last day had been impossible. ?
Over the past 26 seasons and many specials, South Park has seen a staggering number of on-screen deaths. Starting with Kenny McCormick’s first (and certainly not final) death in the debut episode, “Cartman Gets An An An Probe,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone have shown an amazing penchant for graphic death that only continues to grow. Every episode of South Park is likely to have at least a small handful of victims to the point of mass murder, which is usually more impunity than unexpected. For such a small outlying town, South Park, Colorado is in some ways the on-screen murder capital of the world, judging by its ridiculously long list of prominent deaths.
In South Park, every character, no matter how naive, sensitive, and innocent, is more than capable of taking many, many lives, on purpose or otherwise. In fact, South Park’s deadliest killer might not be the murderous ManBearPig or the generally genocidal Eric Cartman — no, according to several fans on the South Park subreddit, the show’s deadliest member might be a kid who racks up a double-digit body count. to count with tap dancing.
As many Redditors have noted, it is difficult to estimate the number of deaths due to the actions of each South Park character. For example, Stan’s “gay song” about buying a Prius in “Smug Alert!” indirectly caused the destruction of San Francisco by a self-made storm that supposedly killed about 800,000 of its inhabitants. Similarly, in his Cthulhu Coon story, Cartman’s leadership ended the lives of countless hippies when he amassed his massive death counter – assuming that hippies count as people.
As for Butters’ case for South Park’s most experienced killer, his killing spree began when he appeared as a tap-dancing prodigy in “You Got F’ed in the A” when his loose shoes set off a chain reaction that claimed. lives 16 people, including a pregnant woman and two suicide victims who could not live with the memory of Butters’ accidental massacre.
However, Butters’ biggest accidental kill occurs in the sixteenth season episode “Going Native”, where he hits a cruise ship captain in the eye with a golf ball, causing the giant ship to split in half and sink into the sea of the. coast From Hawaii with no survivors. Since cruise ships can accommodate up to 3,000 or more guests at a time, this action may have pushed Butters to the top of the list. Stupid Ben Affleck!
Again, this ranking is only valid if we only count the deaths we see. If you count the off-screen deaths, the kill record is in the millions – Randy and Mickey Mouse are related from the time they started COVID by marrying a pangolin.
