Butters Stotch is oversaturated. He can be hilarious and his character evolves in the right way - from a naive kid totally ignorant about world around him to a sharp-mouthed jerk - but it’s the background which can make him hilarious, not himself. Randy Marsh and Eric Cartman truly rule the comedy, they both already stole the show during its lifetime. Cut Butters’ focus and screentime by 25% and nothing happens.

And Kenny McCormick has never really been a real character, more like a mascot. He’s covered. He’s harder to understand. Btw do you remember the earliest seasons? He used to die mostly during the first half of each episode. His deaths range from remarkable and hilarious to completely forgettable. He’s got his moments, the best out of them are not even related to this gag. But Trey and Matt sleep on it.
