However, due to people constantly over-analyzing things for what was not really there, the book becomes an instant success, at least until the book supposedly causes a man to kill the Kardashians. Butters is actually a poor writer or at least a lot worse than Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. Aside from speaking English, Butters is shown to understand at least one other language. In " Fatbeard ", when Cartman asks residents of Somalia the location of the pirates, he asks Butters to ask them something, using a book to see how he would say the question in Somalian.
When someone replies, Butters, while taking a quick glance at the book, can understand what the man is saying. Due to the fact Butters was still a kid, his hands flailed wildly, and he was only able to shoot guys in their penis. Butters has a small tuft of bright blond hair on the top of his head.
He wears a turquoise jacket and dark green pants. For the rest of season 19, Butters wore a neck brace after trying to commit suicide in " Safe Space ". Butters in " Super Fun Time ". Butters has a warm personality that everyone finds comforting. Fans consider him one of the sweetest, most innocent, and most gullible characters on the show. He is unique because he has the personality of a child, in contrast to the other more cynical, adult-like kids. He is generally much nicer and much more naive than the four main characters, although he and Craig are shown bullying Mark Cotswolds , a home-schooled boy, in " Hooked on Monkey Fonics ", while it is worth noting that it was before the major character development of Butters in the show.
The kids are often annoyed with Butters because he is not cruel, cold, gross, confident enough "like a normal little boy", as well as the fact that he is a "pussy". However, Butters is saved from getting raped when Stuart McCormick is confused by the pedophiles as one of the young boys.
Unlike nearly all South Park characters, he rarely curses and instead uses euphemisms such as "Aw, hamburgers" or "Son of a biscuit. In " Christian Rock Hard ", for example, Butters solemnly says "Fuck you, Eric" to Cartman and farts on his face after his mental breakdown; in " Raisins ", Butters says "I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy goth kid" , much to Stan's surprise; and "At least we have assholes" to Bebe. He is also noted for swearing a lot more heavily in " Butters' Bottom Bitch ".
He has also said "You're poor as shit! In the earlier seasons, Butters seemed much more intelligent, and he also seemed to use inappropriate words more often, even saying when the girls challenged them to a sledding race "Us men will show those skanky hos who is who!
Butters refines himself in self-improvement in almost everything, to perfection, studying regularly and often commenting on how he "needs to learn to behave himself". Other skills include tap dancing but he vowed to not do that talent anymore because he accidentally caused a very horrible tragedy in the tap dancing championships.
Unfortunately, he also has extremely low self-esteem and therefore has no judgment as to when or how to use his skills, and perceives everyone around him as knowing much more than he does. Another side effect of this is that he is almost constantly worried about being grounded. Butters is a good student and considered to be a dork by his associates.
Butters seems to be constantly seeking a role model, as evidenced when he takes to Cartman unbeknownst to him pretending to be a robot in " AWESOM-O ". He constantly struggles to find acceptance among his associates, hence why he often does menial tasks in hopes that this will earn him favor and respect. In the same episode he reveals to Cartman dressed as AWESOM-O all of his darkest secrets, including the fact that he suffers from a herniated colon, which means he cannot always control his bowels and requires him to take a suppository through his anus regularly.
In " Casa Bonita ", it is revealed that Butters enjoys going to Stark's Pond and he always hangs out there. In " Cartman Sucks " Butters is mistakenly accused of being bi-curious, and although he agrees, it is obvious he does not know what this means. Butters also unwittingly gave a very thoughtful speech in the same episode, regarding the treatment of bisexual children. He also admits to be "bike-curious" in " The F Word ". In " Super Fun Time ", Butters is shown to be more assertive and less willing to go along with Cartman's plans and rule-breaking.
In " Butters' Bottom Bitch ", he took the fact that he kissed Sally Darson as a sign that he was now a man and began thinking on how he needs a job to pay for bills, even though he is only a fourth-grader.
In " Raisins ", he is shown to be somewhat wise, in the end when he basically tells Stan "you can't be upset forever". Butters' biggest problem seems to be self-confidence, the will to stand up for himself.
He gets taken advantage of by nearly everyone he comes across. In " The Ungroundable ", once he believes he has actually become a vampire, he is not so easily pushed around anymore as he thinks he is immortal. In " Cartman Sucks ", Butters finally stands up for himself by stating to the camp counselors that his confusion is nothing more than a result of the counselors telling several boys, that are assumed to be 'bicurious', that they are confused without explanation.
Butters also showed some self-confidence in " The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs ", where he told the the boys that he would not be tricked, and told them off by saying that they can "suck on his wiener". This outburst stunned the boys, leaving Cartman to ironically call Butters an inconsiderate jerk. Sometimes when Butters is very happy, his smile appears to have risen almost far up to his eyes while the bottom part of his face is almost all skin and nothing more as seen in " Butters' Bottom Bitch ", " The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs ", " You Have 0 Friends ", " Poor and Stupid ", " T.
Although he is ten years old, Butters still pees like a pre-school boy by pulling his pants right down and pulling his shirt up as he stands in front of the urinal. In " The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs ", it appears that Butters may have an attraction to fat women, as he fell for one of the Kardashians because she was "so big and squishy".
In " City Sushi ", he is mistakenly diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, as he impersonates various characters while playing like many normal kids do.
However, his kind, sweet, and gullible personality disappears in " Going Native ", and is replaced with an upset, pissy, antisocial, and rude persona, as he beats up Scott Malkinson for having such a low self esteem due to the fact he has diabetes, and when his boy classmates attempt to reason with him, Butters immediately lashes out at Kyle, saying he believes he knows everything and acts as though he is an expert at everything, even though he is not, and then rips on Stan, who he says believes the world revolves around himself, and how Stan only cares about self image.
Butters continues to insult his classmates, saying that they are all just as bad, selfish pieces of crap like Cartman, as well as being stuck up, claiming that the only one with any decency is Kenny. This personality fades away, however, when he has a ceremony at his home land, Hawaii, and then returns to his kind and innocent personality. Butters presumably subconscious view of his father.
Butters shows obvious signs of mental trauma, most likely due to his father 's psychologically and physically abusive "parenting". As revealed in " Super Best Friends ", this trauma extends to such an extent that he falls asleep and wakes up to the sound of his own screams.
Further evidence of psychological trauma due to his father can be seen in " Imaginationland, Episode III ", where he was told to imagine "the most prominent thing in his mind" , which happened to be his father, screaming that he was grounded; the imaginary version of his father later morphed into a monster-like being.
However, his father is likely not his only source of psychological trauma. Butters' social isolation and constant ridicule at the hands of some of his classmates likely traumatizes him as well. Furthermore, in " The Return of Chef ", Butters was revealed to have been molested by his uncle , although he did not seem to realize it was molestation, this is likely another source of trauma.
As a result of these events, Butters has very low self-esteem, constantly putting himself down as well believing he is a bad child who deserves punishment.
Butters also has a nervous stutter - it is likely this can be attributed to psychological trauma. Though possibly Butters' grandma was the source of psychological trauma as she was constantly hurting him physically and mentally. He spreads chaos with his sidekick, General Disarray , and his hamsters or "minions". In " The Coon ", the police and citizens watching his fight against Mysterion seemed aware of his name. The police decided not to even try to shoot him, believing as a villain he had unknown superhuman abilities, and the bullets would not affect him and believed he could not die.
In " The Coon ", it was revealed that Professor Chaos uses General Disarray's grandmother's public storage as his base of operations. There are cardboard computers and a board of possible suspects for the Coon and Mysterion. In " Coon 2: Hindsight " it is revealed he was captured by Coon and Friends and has been held captive in Cartman's basement for several days without food or water. He is still there in " Coon vs. In " City Sushi ", as he is burning all of his alter-ego costumes, he attempts to burn his Professor Chaos mask as well, but is abruptly interrupted by Dr.
As a result, his costume remains unharmed. In " Butterballs ", after a moment of hesitation, Butters decides to confront his abusive grandmother with his Professor Chaos identity. His plan backfires, as his grandmother who has also adopted a supervillain alter ego easily overpowers him. In the Season Twenty-One episode, " Franchise Prequel ", Professor Chaos creates fake 'news' about the Coon and Friends group by making fake posts about them on Facebook, ruining their reputation and keeping Netflix from greenlighting their superhero franchise.
He later hires an army of children to aid him, and work as his minions, the Chaos Kids. The Chaos Kids help Butters create even more fake Facebook posts, using an abandoned warehouse as their secret lair. Early in his career as Professor Chaos , Butters was successful at bringing chaos to his fourth grade classroom when he stole the erasers from the chalkboard. During the process of changing into his Professor Chaos costume, Butters was discovered by Dougie , who chose to join him as his sidekick, General Disarray , after being eliminated in the boys' quest to find a new fourth member.
Together, Professor Chaos and General Disarray hatched out evil plots that included trying to flood the world with his garden hose and destroying the ozone layer with aerosol spray. In " The Simpsons Already Did It ", Butters devises a series of supposedly original evil plots, only to abandon each of them after General Disarray informs him that they have already been used on The Simpsons.
He nearly goes insane after a while of this, but gets consoled later by the reassurance that this is only because the show has run so long, not his own lack of creativity. This itself was inspired by the real-life frustration that creator's Trey Parker and Matt Stone coming up with ideas and plots only to find out the that The Simpsons had already beaten them to the punch. Parker and Stone themselves literally went through every episode to find something that had never been done.
And eventually they did: boy bands. They conceived an episode only to find out the Simpsons did and released such an episode right before theirs was set to air. Butters is an only child. His parents, Stephen Chris in some appearances and Linda Stotch , are very authoritarian, strict and, at some points, abusive towards their son — often severely scolding him for circumstances that are entirely beyond his control.
This has evidently affected Butters psychologically; he often tells himself off in the absence of his parents.
It is also hinted that the justification for this abuse lacks rationality. As additional evidence of psychological problems, he has stated in " Super Best Friends " that he wakes up to the sound of his own screams. However, it is clear that Linda cares deeply for him; she becomes hysterical when he faked his death in " Marjorine ", and becomes extremely distressed when he is missing in " Imaginationland " and " Casa Bonita ".
Also, before his father ever appeared in the show, an adult man who is very similar to Butters was seen as a background in early seasons. He is intimidated of his dominating father, who he is obliged to respectfully refer to as "Sir". His father uses fear as his primary parenting tactic with Butters, once intentionally frightening him with threats of 'Super-AIDS'. It is shown on a number occasions that he really does care about Butters, but he believes his methods are the best way in which to raise him.
Linda, however, has been shown to be much more tender to her son, hugging and kissing him often. She seems to go along with Stephen's harshness only because she believes that its the best of her son.
There was a mention of a grandmother in " Freak Strike " who had a stroke shortly after she saw Butters on television with testicles on his chin and then his parents went to visit her in the hospital. Ten seasons later, Butters mentions his grandma again in " Reverse Cowgirl ", stating she is from Virginia. In " Butterballs ", Grandma Stotch gets a prominent role, constantly bullying her grandson, which makes her another member of the Stotch family that abuses Butters.
It is unknown if that grandma was his maternal or paternal grandmother, or the same one that is mentioned in the episodes before that. Also, while Butters and all members of his family shown appear to be entirely Caucasian, Cartman's repeated insult to Butters is "Butters you black asshole". Instead of suggesting that Butters has some African or Afro-American descent, it is more likely that this is simply a childish insult out of Cartman's stupidity, ironic due to Butters showing no stereotypical African-American traits, and often exhibiting stereotypical Caucasian-American traits.
Stephen and Linda are very strict with Butters and have both abused and neglected him in one way or another or after his friends get him in serious trouble. He is usually grounded after he gets involved with something, because they usually conclude that it was either Butters all on his own or that he at least played a major role, and do not believe that he is being bullied. They have also threatened to ground Butters for things he cannot control, such as in " The Death of Eric Cartman ", Stephen orders him to stop having nightmares or he would be grounded.
Also in " How to Eat with Your Butt ", Butters' parents ground him for making a silly face in his school photo, believe he is wearing make-up at one point he is not at all in and are convinced that his normal face is "silly" and has "made himself look like a girl".
It is assumed that Linda and Stephen actually have some sort of compulsive need to punish Butters, as demonstrated in " The Ungroundable ", during which they threaten to ground him for minor mistakes such as misplacing the chocolate Quick mix.
When Butters, under the belief that he is a vampire, refuses to listen to their threats, they become unnerved and afraid that they will never be able to ground Butters again. After Butters returns to his normal behavior, his parents become immensely relieved that they again have dominion over their son, and immediately proceed to ground him again.
In " The List ", it is shown that Butters parents were planning to ground him if the girls at school thought he was the ugliest in the class. Stephen also physically beats Butters in " Jared Has Aides " - Cartman pretended to be Butters on the phone and insulted his parents, really goading them. Then he sat outside to hear Stephen and Linda tear through him. Considering Stephen and Linda's possible problems controlling their anger, it is likely that " Jared Has Aides " was not the only time he was beaten.
However, while doing this, they made Butters fake his death. This not only traumatized Butters, but his family, as well. He would go to the slumber party as Marjorine and was treated very poorly there, as well. Also, when he came back home as Butters, his family thought that he was a demon, so they forced him to be chained up down his basement. Butters has always been a character who is innocent and likes to have fun.
When he was promoted to a main member of the friend group after Kenny's death, this was more displayed to the audience. Yet, this did not mesh well with the group, as they would tease him relentlessly.
A prime example where this would be shown was when Cartman and the group were angry about him dancing while at a party. It clearly displays just how much the group simply cannot accept him for who he is.
In an attempt to get rich, the boys forced Butters to gain weight. They were aiming for him to undergo a viral transformation similar to that of a former Subway spokesman, but, instead of going through Subway, they opted to use City Wok.
When Butters was not able to lose the weight quickly enough, the boys decided to perform in-house liposuction on him. The surgery was obviously botched, while also being one of the most disgusting scenes from the entire season.
Overall, this was just atrocious behavior by the gang. The boys always seem to use Butters as the victim of their ploys to become rich. Another big example of this was when they made Butters put balls on his chin to go on The Maury Povich Show.
They did this knowing not only that Butters would get in trouble with his parents, but also it would make him get laughed at. They also manipulated him to do this by saying he was not as good of a friend as Kenny. This was just another example of how atrociously they treated him throughout the series. When Butters was on his City Wok diet, Cartman offered to pretend to be him on the phone while he was out.
Cartman would show Butters that his impression of him was solid, so Butters gladly accepted his help. When he was first given an in-depth role in " Butters' Very Own Episode ", Stephen appeared to be a very loving, almost a sitcom-like father, making bad, yet good-natured jokes and being rather sweet to his wife and son. However, as the episode progressed his bi-curious lifestyle was revealed, as was his desire to use extreme methods to cover-up things that could negatively affect him.
In later episodes, he is noted for the harsh way in which he treats his son, Butters, as he often grounds him for little things or things that were not his fault, or that he had no control over such as in " The Ungroundable ".
He has beaten him on a few occasions, such as " Jared Has Aides ", and openly snapping at Butters, such as telling him to shut his mouth, as seen in " The Death Camp of Tolerance ".
There is some debate over whether Stephen really cares for his son, since he will go to extreme methods to help him, even trying to bring him back from the dead in " Marjorine ". Adding onto this, he showed great conflict when going on strike as an Amazon worker, being torn by his integrity to his coworkers and providing for his family so Butters could be in the Bike Parade, and in the end, he chose to swallow his pride and return to Amazon headquarters, showing that his love for his son prevailed over his pride at that moment.
He also shows concern when Butters goes missing such as in " Casa Bonita " , but there are other times he has shown to be very selfish, considering his needs and ambitions above those of his son as demonstrated in " Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset ", although the price was admittedly ridiculously high and he made this decision after great deliberation.
He has a very heavy-handed approach to discipline, which has resulted in Butters seeing him as a kind of monster, as shown in " Imaginationland, Episode III ". In " Pre-School ", he was quick to convince his wife that it was neither of their faults that Butters was badly beaten up by a bully on their doorstep, even though it was him who refused to let a frantic Butters back in the house.
Additionally, in " City Sushi ", when Stephen and Linda discovered Butters had inadvertently caused an Asian Turf War when wondering why Butters always caused so much trouble, he immediately ruled out the possibility of being bad parents, claiming he and Linda were "awesome".
However, a way to interpret his bad behavior towards his son is that he simply does not understand that his behavior and excessive grounding are wrong, and despite all of the unnecessary and cruel groundings he gave Butters, he actually has the best interests of raising his son at-heart but just cannot see how to properly do that.
At times, he does seem slightly more down to earth than the other adults in town, as seen in " Cartoon Wars Part I ". Most often than not, he usually will overreact though, like all the other adults. He can also be noted for the strange manner in which he cries or weeps. He is also shown to be very cautious about personal and social hygiene since the COVID pandemic started, scolding Butters for still wanting to go to the Build-A-Bear Workshop during the pandemic and criticizing a group of people for not wearing protective masks properly, mockingly calling them "chin diapers" as seen in " The Pandemic Special ".
He is the coach of the little league baseball team. In " Jared Has Aides ", he is seen working in a cubicle. In " Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls ", he is shown as a movie theater projectionist, though this occupation has not been looked into any further than this episode. In " Unfulfilled ", he gets a new job at the Amazon Fulfillment Center. In " Smug Alert!
He wears a drab, olive-green shirt, a distinctive white tie, blue jeans, brown belt, and black sneakers. He has brown hair, in a style similar to a grown-out crew cut.
