The following is a list of minor characters on South Park. This does not include the school children, family members, townsfolk, or the school staff.
Chris Peterson
Chris Peterson is a character recognizable by his unusual haircut. He appears briefly in the episode "Spontaneous Combustion" when Kenny explodes at the start of the episode. His name is revealed in "Chef Goes Nanners" when Jimbo Kern is describing why the South Park flag shouldn't be changed, he and Ned take shots at various local wildlife, culminating in shooting at Chris Peterson. He was also shown on Kyle's dad's car, in the episode "Over Logging".
Darryl Weathers
Darryl Weathers is a worker from the Construction Workers' Union. He has a flock of red hair and a big red mustache. His first appearance is in "Goobacks" where he is hosting a rally of many working-class men upset over losing their jobs to the Goobacks, time travelers from the future, who work for next to nothing. He and the other men decide to all "get gay" with one another, having homosexual sex in the hopes that this will prevent future generations of children that will give rise to the Goobacks. His next appearance is a one liner in "Smug Alert!" where he appears in the background, getting angry at Kyle's dad for putting a fake ticket on his car.
Farmer Carl Denkins
Farmer Carl Denkins is a redneck farmer who lives just outside of South Park. He originally appeared in the pilot episode, reporting his mutilated cattle to Officer Barbrady. He also appeared in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", which was a revisiting of that episode. One of his chickens was sexually molested by the "Chickenlover" in the episode of the same name. Apparently he has a record of shooting trespassers on sight, which Cartman uses to get Scott Tenorman's parents killed in "Scott Tenorman Must Die". He also played a prominent role in "Fun with Veal" (although he was referred to as Rancher Bob in this appearance).
Fluffy
Fluffy is Eric Cartman's potbellied pig. She makes only two appearances. In the first season episode "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", she is a hapless element of the children's school genetics project, and in the fourth season "Cherokee Hair Tampons", she is startled awake by Stan and Butters when they sneak into Cartman's house, and begins squealing, but is subsequently yelled back into silence by a semi-awake Cartman, who never notices the other boys.
God
God is portrayed on South Park as a composite of several animals. His first appearance was in "Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus". He can be summoned in Heaven when his name is spoken, and sometimes on Earth, where he appears as beams of light with a deep voice. God is a Buddhist, although only people of the Mormon faith are allowed in Heaven. As the population of Heaven began to dwindle, and the population of Hell rose, as told in "Best Friends Forever", God started to allow others into Heaven. This was an attempt to build up Heaven's army to protect God's Kingdom from the increasingly larger Army of Satan. It is said that the PlayStation Portable was created by God to help find the human who could lead his army, which turned out to be Kenny. Every 2000 years, he comes to Earth to answer one question. He is included as a figure with the South Park series 3 Jesus action figure by Mezco.
Halfy
Halfy (pronounced Half-ee) is an amputee (he has no legs, hence his nickname), who first appeared in the episode "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut". In his early appearances, he would claim that he would have sex with various things/people, only to be told, "You don't count Halfy; you don't have any legs", to which he would reply, "Oh. Yeah." When he is happy, he jumps into the air and somersaults. In the episode "Chef Aid" it is revealed that Halfy is a judge, as he presided over Chef's trial. Halfy was spotted at the starting line of the South Park "Running of the Cows" in the episode "Cow Days." He is also sung to by Big Gay Al during his big musical number in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. He appears in the episode "I'm a Little Bit Country", singing, 'I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll'."
Loogie
Loogie made his first appearance in "The Tooth Fairy Tats 2000". The boys try to make money by snatching Tooth Fairy money underneath other boys' pillows, when they encounter another set of boys trying to do the same thing. These rivals bring the boys back to Loogie, whereupon they learn that the Tooth Fairy business is actually a crime syndicate, with Loogie being portrayed as a youth Mafia kingpin. He wears a zoot suit and his headquarters is a basement Italian restaurant. Instead of merely dressing up like the Tooth Fairy and procuring the money, he has an entire assembly line of employees who procure the teeth and inspect them for quality. When the boys attempt to break off into their own independent syndicate, Loogie intervenes and targets Kenny to teach them a lesson (which is a spoof on common Mafia practices). He is voiced primarily by Richard Belzer, although the final recordings were performed by Trey Parker. He made another cameo appearance in "Professor Chaos", where he was one of twenty candidates to replace the then-deceased Kenny in the boys' group. He survived the first round to become a semi-finalist, but was one of four boys cut in the second round. In this episode, when his name was called out to advance to the next round, he was referred to as "Luigi".
ManBearPig
ManBearPig is an imaginary South Park character, believed by Al Gore to be a real threat in the episode also called "ManBearPig".
The creature is described by Al Gore to be half man, half bear and half pig. ManBearPig is thought to be an invention of Al Gore's, which he uses to call the attention in an attempt to compensate for the fact that he has no friends. At the end of the episode, MBP, as it comes to be called, is thought to have been defeated by Gore, but it makes an appearance in "Imaginationland Episode II" and "III", in which a mystical realm is discovered in which imaginary characters can come to life.
Mexican workers
The Mexican workers are a group of immigrant day laborers. The boys hire them in "D-Yikes" to write essays about The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. They confuse the word "essay" with "ese", which is slang in Spanish for "friend", and write letters to their friends across the country. The boys are forced to do their own work. In the same episode, they are hired by Mrs. Garrison to impersonate Persians to investigate a group of new bar owners in town.
Moses
Moses, the Jewish prophet, appears in "Jewbilee" as the focus of a ritual in which Jews make macaroni pictures, popcorn necklaces and soap carvings at a Jewish scout camp. His appearance is patterned after the Master Control Program from the movie Tron. The episode's antisemitic antagonist, Garth, captures him in a conch shell before calling upon the Biblical character Haman. Kenny McCormick, who had been banished from the camp by Moses for not being Jewish, saves the camp by breaking the conch shell open with his head. Moses also appears in the episode "Super Best Friends", in which he acts as the computer at the Super Best Friends headquarters, and demonstrates the ability to play a tape by having it inserted through a port in his front.
Mr. Kitty
Mr. Kitty is a grey housecat owned by Cartman, prone to showing interest in Cartman's food, to which Cartman usually responds, "No, Mr. Kitty, that's mine! That's a bad kitty!" Her first appearance was in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe". In the episode "Spookyfish", a kindhearted and generous Cartman from a parallel universe arrives and is friendly to Kitty, much to our universe's Cartman's irritation. Kitty's most prominent role was in the season three episode "Cat Orgy". Since "Cat Orgy" (where it is revealed that Mr. Kitty is female). Mr. Kitty has been seen infrequently, though she was mentioned in "The Death of Eric Cartman" as being part of the list of beings to whom Cartman needed to apologize in order to reach Heaven, when he believed he was dead. She shows up again in the season 12 episode, "Major Boobage" in which the boys experiment with her urine to become intoxicated.
Nellie and Thomas McElroy
Nellie and Thomas McElroy were the parents of Chef. They first appear in the episode "The Succubus", when they come to South Park for Chef's wedding. They appear later in the episode "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" when Chef takes Cartman and his mother to his parents' manor house in Scotland. They perform a shaman-esque ritual to exorcize Kenny's soul from Cartman's body. In "Red Sleigh Down", they are seen in a crowd during the town's Christmas celebration. Interestingly, they are not seen at Chef's funeral in "The Return of Chef".
The McElroys' main subject of conversation is their supposed encounters with the Loch Ness Monster. They repeatedly claim that they have seen him on multiple occasions, and are constantly harassed by him, as he tries to swindle them out of "tree-fiddy" ($3.50). According to Thomas, the monster has pretended to be a girl scout, an alien, and Chef's imaginary friend from childhood.
Sally Struthers
Sally Struthers was parodied in two episodes of South Park: "Starvin Marvin" (1997), and "Starvin' Marvin in Space" (1999). In the former episode, she appeared as a grossly obese caricature of herself who worked for the Feed the Children Foundation, a fictionalized version of the Christian Children's Fund. The charity, however, was just a front, and all of the food destined for those in need ended up being consumed by Struthers. In the latter episode, Struthers was even more exaggeratedly caricatured. The version of Sally Struthers shown in the episode "Starvin' Marvin" later makes a cameo appearance in the episode "The Death of Eric Cartman" (2005).
Santa
Santa Claus lives at the North Pole in his Fortress of Solitude, aided two months out of the year by the Underpants Gnomes. Santa is often shown with South Park's other Christmas-related characters, Mr. Hankey and Jesus. His relationship with the latter has been rocky. In the animated short, "The Spirit of Christmas", Jesus and Santa had a fight to determine what the true meaning of Christmas was - giving or Jesus' birth. With some advice from Brian Boitano, the boys told Jesus that Santa keeps the spirit of Christmas alive, and then told Santa that if it wasn't for Jesus there would be no Christmas at all. The two reconciled, though they would later fight again in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics", when Santa felt gypped that there are more Jesus-related Christmas songs than ones about him. Nevertheless they made up again, and Jesus later lost his life to save Santa from Iraqis in "Red Sleigh Down." To commemorate his good friend, Santa declares that in every Christmas, everyone should remember Jesus.
Santa is known for not being afraid to get violent to protect the true meaning of Christmas. In "Red Sleigh Down" he was captured by Iraqis and had to shoot his way free, in "Woodland Critter Christmas" his skill with a shotgun and sledgehammer saved Christmas from the Anti-Christ, and in "Imaginationland Episode III" he was seen sporting a golden axe to fight off the army of evil imaginary creatures after being revived by Butters (who used his imagination, due to the fact the Santa had died in flames during the terrorist attack).
Scott the Dick
Scott's first appearance was in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", where he was shown to be the nemesis of Terrance and Phillip. He has also appeared in the "real world" of South Park in "It's Christmas in Canada". Scott lives in Canada where he is a television critic for magazines and is known by most Canadians as being obnoxious, as evidenced by his nickname "Scott the Dick". He is uptight and short-tempered, especially with Terrance and Phillip's toilet humor and almost all Canadians. Scott also expresses contempt for Americans throughout "It's Christmas in Canada", calling them "power-hungry" and claiming that Americans think they own the world.
Scott has been made Saddam Hussein's advisor twice, first in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" and then to the new Prime Minister of Canada in "It's Christmas in Canada", who turned out to be Saddam Hussein in disguise.
Scuzzlebutt
Scuzzlebutt is a basket-weaving monster who lives on top of a mountain in South Park. He has a piece of celery as an arm and Patrick Duffy as a leg. He appears in two episodes: "Volcano" and "City on the Edge of Forever". In "Volcano" Cartman tells the story of Scuzzlebutt to scare his friends. Then Cartman dresses up like Scuzzlebutt. However, when a volcano erupts the real Scuzzlebutt weaves a wicker basket that saves the children. Shortly after, Stan kills Scuzzlebutt to prove to his uncle Jimbo that he is a good nephew. A flashback to this episode is seen in "City on the Edge of Forever", though the events seen are different than in the original episode, because the latter episode features the children recalling past events inaccurately. In Season Ten's "Stanley's Cup" a newspaper headline reading "What is Scuzzlebutt??" is visible behind Stan's boss at the beginning of the show.
Skyler
Skyler is a 22-year-old member of the band "Lords of the Underworld" (briefly "Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld") and has been seen on two occasions.
In his first appearance, "Cat Orgy", Skyler is seen as 12-year-old Shelley Marsh's boyfriend, whom she invites to Cartman's house while she babysits Eric Cartman. Because Shelly refused to consummate their relationship sexually, Skyler broke up with her. Cartman helped her get revenge by destroying his guitar. When he angrily returned to Cartman's house while Shelley was still there, Cartman threw catnip at him, attracting neighborhood felines, who promptly attacked him in a sexual frenzy.
Skyler was not seen again until "Timmy 2000", in which his band added Timmy to their ranks, because he turned out to be a great singer, despite only being able to shout his name. Jealous of Timmy's popularity, Skyler left the band to pursue a solo career entitled "Reach for the Skyler". He later rejoined the band though, and they performed at the South Park Battle of the Bands.
Skyler and his band also appear in "Christian Rock Hard" as one of the bands who refuse to play due to the illegal downloading of music.
Sparky the Dog
Sparky (voiced by George Clooney) is Stan's dog. He first appeared in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" in which it was revealed that he is gay. Stan was very upset that Sparky was gay, provoking Sparky to run away to "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary", where he would live with other gay animals. He, along with all of the other animals, returned to their owners after the people of South Park learned to become more accepting of their sexuality.
He has been seen in "Proper Condom Use", and "Good Times With Weapons", in which his fur was used to disguise Butters as a dog. Sparky also makes a cameo in "Woodland Critter Christmas", and was briefly seen in the episode "Spookyfish". He is included as a figure with the South Park series 2 Stan action figure by Mezco.
Starvin' Marvin
Starvin' Marvin is an emaciated Ethiopian boy who wears only a loin cloth, who first appeared in season one's Thanksgiving special, "Starvin' Marvin". He speaks very little English, such as his name, but the boys find his clicking ability interesting. Starvin' Marvin was once in the custody of the four boys, but Mr. Garrison reported this to the authorities, and Marvin was sent back to Ethiopia. He later appeared in "Starvin' Marvin in Space", in which he relocated his fellow Ethiopians to the planet Marklar.
Tom Pusslicker
Tom Pusslicker is the local television news anchor. He often introduces field reporters in ways that would be considered inappropriate, as when he describes one reporter as a "midget in a bikini" in "Pinkeye" and South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. Other descriptions of reporters by him include: "a Hispanic man with some gravy stains on his lapel" in "The Entity", a "34-year old Asian man who looks strikingly similar to Ricardo Montalbán", "a quadriplegic Swiss man tied to a pony", and "a normal-looking guy with a funny name." His last name is revealed in "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow".
Woodland Christmas Critters
A group of Satan-worshiping woodland animals created by Cartman in a Christmas story for a class assignment. Though they appear friendly, they can manifest "evil Satanic powers", such as the ability to conjure fire. They originally appeared in "A Woodland Critter Christmas", in which they attempted to bring about the birth of the Anti-Christ so that Satan can rule the world, but are ultimately killed by Santa Claus when he shoots them with a shotgun. However, this story in itself was an "imaginary" one, and did not actually occur in the "real world" of the story.
The twelve critters are: Squirrely the Squirrel, Rabbity the Rabbit, Beavery the Beaver, Beary the Bear, Porcupiney the Porcupine, Skunky the Skunk, Foxy the Fox, Deery the Deer, Woodpeckery the Woodpecker, Mousey the Mouse, Raccoony the Raccoon, and Chickadee-y the Chickadee.
In the eleventh season story arc "Kyle Sucks Cartman's Balls: The Trilogy", also known as "Imaginationland", they appeared in reality. Because they were made up by Cartman, they actually exist in the evil realm of Imaginationland, and were freed when terrorists destroyed the barrier separating the benevolent imaginary characters from the evil ones. In one scene in which other famous villains such as Freddy Krueger and Jason Vorhees argue as to what to do with a captured Strawberry Shortcake, the Critters actually disturb the other villains with their grotesque suggestions on how to mutilate, torture and kill Shortcake, with Jason Voorhees saying, "Man, I do not want to meet the kid that dreamt those things up." The Critters also raped and killed a squad of American soldiers led by Kurt Russell that crossed into Imaginationland. They also attacked and gangraped Popeye in the final battle but did not manage to kill him. They were all put back behind the barrier to Evil Imaginationland along with the rest of the evil imaginary characters after Butters used his imagination to restore all of Imaginationland back the way it was before the terrorist attack.
