It's so ridiculously funny to think a kid getting bullied relentlessly for having no backbone is ALSO hated by fans for being bullied relentlessly for having no backbone..my man can never win.

Fun fact: Pip was originally meant to die at the end of Damien when the demons attack him, but he got a reprieve because halfway through season 1 was too early to be killing off one of the few recurring characters the show had at that point.

[NobodyC]

Supposedly Matt and Trey HATED having to read Great Expectations in school and created Pip and did a South Park retelling of the novel for an episode because they wanted to rip it a new one.

I think it boils down to the fact that pip goes over that threshold where instead of finding his torture funny you just feel sad. Butters has enough character where you feel bad for him but also find it funny to see him struggle. Pip feels like an actual abused child whos parents told them to shut up all the time and now he just accepts any kind of abuse that comes his way.

[ddelarosa]

I think Pip’s problem revolves around advice they used to (and maybe still do) give kids about bullies. The advice was “ignore them, and if you don’t give them what they want, which is sometimes just a reaction, they will stop because it’s no longer interesting to them.”

Butters getting picked on lands because he always gets dejected or angry (to the point of becoming Professor Chaos). Pip’s lack of reaction doesn’t give the audience what we want, so him being bullied provides no gratification (as messed up as it might sound that we are getting gratification from watching bullying). His reaction to the French insult was funny because now he finally cares and reacts by hating the idea of being French.

“There’s never been any cool French people”

Bold of you to call us people

"the internet wants to see you suffer"
Truly the embodiment of "we do a little bit of funny trolling", I respect your determination

[FrozenBun]

I actually kind of like Pip, he just wants to fit in and make friends. And when others are mean, he just takes it in stride. Maybe you can't see the tortured kindness of a struggling kid. But I can relate

As a British person I also think it’s funny to bring up the fact that I’ve never heard of anyone having to read great expectations in school, usually it’s of mice and men

[youtubeletmeintoyoutube]

The reason the great expectations episode is so funny is because it’s actually like a cliff notes accurate retelling of the novel (with obvious South Park jokes just peppered in), but then they completely DESTROY the ending without warning, as though the original novel also went completely bonkers at the end without warning.

PIP in "conjoined fetus lady"(dodgeball episode) is amazing. It's the one episode he doesn't take shit from any of the boys. Probably my favorite episode of the first 2 seasons

[jackisboom]

Hot Take: Pip is bad for South Park standards, but for adult animation it isn't that bad.

[ZekromAndYugiAndDrago]

A great episode that displays everything you love about Butters is AWESOMEO. It perfectly puts at the forefront his naivety and his backbone. For most of the episode he misses the obvious clues that Cartman is pretending to be AWESOMEO, but also his backbone when he reveals his potential blackmail on Cartman and intent to use it if Cartman does shit

[Darkfrog]

I never minded the character Pip. I saw him in the ep Damien as an example of what would happen if schoolchildren actually took the then-standard advice about bullying. Pip is a satirical character: "What do you want? A student who cheerfully takes abuse from everyone? Here's what that would look like: Any kid who did what YOU told them would end up as a complete victim with no other personality." I wonder if you just don't know, but what Mr. Mackey says about bullying is REALLY close to what 80s and 90s kids ACTUALLY GOT: Not just "be submissive, " but "if you are more submissive, the bullying will stop and people will like you." THAT WAS REAL!!

The worst character on South Park is easily Towelie. He is just a plain stupid character. Whereas you can argue that Pip doesn't add anything to the scenes that he is in, he doesn't take anything away either. Towelie makes every scene that he is in worse.

The worst episode of the series is "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus". This episode would be excruciatingly annoying all by itself, but it is even worse as it was positioned directly in the between the two parts of a cliffhanger episode. It was seemingly made by the creators of South Park as a "joke" to prank the viewers. It is nothing more than the series creators completely forgetting their audience to amuse themselves.

It should be noted that the only episode that is ranked lower on IMDB than "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" is the Towelie based episode "A Million Little Fibers"

[super_kami_dende]

I like to think Trey and Matt made Pip as the "He's British, so he's not funny and he sucks" type character. Even in his episode all the characters look gross and deformed just to be like "Hey, British people look like shit don't they?" Then they tried to give him a moment by giving him an episode where he gets mad and is cracked at dodgeball. I feel like they tried to make him stick, but when people just didn't like him they're just like, "Well, guess we gotta kill him."

[GameyGaming]

I honestly wanna see Pip come back someday. He could’ve been so much more and I feel bad about how everything ended, he at least deserves a chance

[ShrexyGuy]

Pip is a god amongst men, some people just can't stand the Giga Pip energy. We call them betas

[briankaler]

Its a funny conundrum, pip and butters really are so similar except the accent. Why the hate for one and not the other? They’re both this optimistic punching bag that rarely if ever gets upset about always being the butt of the joke. Butters did get “Prof Chaos” but its not like he’s a menace, he’s just a foil for the boys super hero team thus he’s just playing along.

[AbramSF]

What I’m hearing is you don’t like one of my favorite books and therefore can’t ever appreciate the genius of Pip.
