Chef will always be my favorite character. He was funny and always tried his best to help those kids.
RIP Isaac Hayes.

You guys got the top 3 correct, whichever order is fine Cartman, Butters and Randy. So glad that most people love Butters!

Personally, I really like Craig. Sure he's a side character, but when the spotlight is focused on him, he always does or says something funny. My favorite was when he roasted the boys after they rip him off for his birthday money when held by Homeland Security.

Randy's come a long way, and who doesn't love Butters, but Cartman is literallyt the reason the show was created. Love him or hate him, he IS the show

Cartman is possibly the best character in television history.

I was 8 years old when South Park and I love this show. Cartman will always be number one. The only time I thought the show was going down hill was the focus on Randy Marsh and the adults. The time period where the show was focused solely on Randy Gerald Steven Stoch, PC Principal, etc it became more of animated reality show than comedy show of pure hysterical insanity.

You can't have south park without cartman

I was missing chef recently and I figured out a way to kind of bring him back.
Concept: chef has a younger brother named Sous Chef who looks just like him but slightly thinner. Talks a bit like him and even likes to sing while giving helpful advice.
He idolized his brother so much that he wanted to work in the same place Chef did and that's why he's in South Park. And whenever the boys are trouble he goes "we'll kids, as my big bro always said..."
Keep chef alive you know?

[Historicutuber]

This show has so many great characters. I wonder where Butters will be

[geobroproman]

This could've easily been a top 30 honestly, as there are so many more characters in South Park that have become iconic and beloved by being written to be so hilarious and likeable (the four main boys, Butters, Randy, Chef, Mr Mackey etc) and sometimes in such a way that can easily be roasted by Matt and Trey to show how easily infatuated people can get with random characters and their random catchphrases (looking at you Towelie!). This list has definitely commemorated much of the show's fantastic cast; we're all in agreement that Eric Cartman is truly the #1 best, most hilarious, most iconic and most corrupted of them all, you knew putting Randy at the top of your previous version of this list was inaccurate. I'm also proud of you guys for finally getting the details around Isaac Hayes' departure correct; it took you a while to figure it out but you did eventually, we don't want you to keep painting Hayes in a bad light just because you didn't do your research (Chef also deserves his high spot, us SP fans still never forget his charming self). I'm also glad side characters that didn't appear as much like the goth kids and Satan made it on as they too deserve the spotlight of fame. However still some issues; Officer barbrady and Shelly, REALLY? I know Barbrady is funny because he's dopey and incompetent at his job but he isn't THAT much of a fan favourite, and there's only a minority of SP fans that actually like Shelly, so they should be replaced by Harrison Yates and Ike Broflovski. Also how dare you forget about Craig Tucker! While he couldn't care less (Tweak on the other hand would be freaking out without his boyfriend), he is one of the best non-main 4th grade boys that aren't Butters; he should replace T&P at #12. Speaking of which, here are some honourable mentions that you should've put in: Timmy, Jimbo & Ned, Tuong Lu Kim (City Wok Guy), Mr Hankey, Liane Cartman, just to name a few. But otherwise a very accurate list indeed, please keep the SP content up, especially as more new episodes are released!

Tolkien: I'm getting real sick of your stereotypes.
Cartman: be as sick as you want, just give me a god damn base line.
🤣🤣🤣

[CyrusShameliOfficial]

This is super accurate, and Cartman, Butters and Randy are three of my favourite characters

[radicaIized]

South Park’s humor feels incomplete without Randy and Cartman

[kzarkage]

There was a time I'd say that Randy just needs to smoke some weed but we all know how that turned out
The poor Pangolin
