I would not count Randy Marsh as a side character. He has become the focal point for a lot of the shows stories.

Randy and Butters were a joy to watch. They both brought different levels of comic relief to the show. Crazy to imagine them once as side characters.

[kevinclapson]

Token being Tolkien was one of the low-key funniest things the show has ever done.

Also, Tweak and Craig weren't terribly close. Their relationship was catalyzed by a handful of Japanese students using them as subjects for Yaoi style artwork that got people inventing a relationship that didn't exists, which pressured the boys into one.

I think of Butters and Randy more as main characters, especially in more recent seasons.

craig not being on this list is a crime

[jaredglenn]

Everyone knows it's BUTTERS!

Such a great episode 😂

[lucasgoad]

Cartman's mom has actually become a lot more assertive with Cartman in recent seasons

[RonHeartsMe]

No Craig? Even without being one half of Creek, he’s a hilarious character. I love his dead-pan voice and rivalry of the main gang.

[jaydonwil]

Where is Craig Tucker? He's hilarious.

[outlaster]

If Randy isnt number 1 then this list is wrong automatically, Randy is so relevant, he might as well be a main character

[opal-blue]

Randy Marsh... Oh man, he is my favorite character hands down. He went from a casual background character to pretty much almost stealing the show.

[mathieuleader]

I was so shocked at seeing Terry & Phil at their accurate ages in a recent season it was so shocking

[asero]

Butters is by far my favourite character. I figured it would come down to Butters and Randy, so I'm pretty satisfied with the list.

[THANATOS-PRIME]

I know that they don’t appear very often, but I love whenever Nathan and Mimzy show up.

[dinnerboi]

I love Butters but Randy has to be #1 in this case, noone captures the South Park essence better than Randy.

[saranissen]

My favorite side characters are Clide, Craig, Tweek, Butters, Chef and Mr. Mackey.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Randy Marsh was once a background character that barely had any lines. And now he's pretty much the other main character.

[jackomon]

Watchmojo: Only South Park can think of a character like Towlie

Me: Thinks of Blues Clues (not sure why, but it was the first thing I thought of)

[MurderLamb]

I knew butters would be the number one pick
