The Many, Many Traumas of Butters Stotch

Honestly, Butters dissociating and becoming Victor Chaos in the dark future was probably the healthiest thing he could have done.

[@masonharris9166]

I think that's kinda the point. By "fixing" the timeliness, the only people better off were Stan and kyle.

[@Meetwad]

In the new future butters actually enjoys his job and seems happier than in the dark future.

[@M.g16300]

He became a master people manipulator and basically threw away his entire past, that isn’t a healthy thing to do. Realising how bad your past was, coming to terms with it, and resolving to make one’s life better is the best thing to do. Post COVID butters is not a healthy or good thing, he basically becomes a less obnoxious, arrogant and annoying Cartman which is TERRIFYING, because those traits of Cartman are what normally end up backfiring on him and foiling his insane, twisted and self centred plans, and so a person without these traits is basically a master class manipulator who ruins others lives for their own benefit, and do so with enough finesse and charisma that by the time the duped people realise they have been tricked, it’s already too late.

[@RealClassixX]

But it's also cool as fuck for him to be.

[@klarakvicalova1405]

Butters showed me that i do in fact have maternal instincts because they kick in when i watch him get bullied or traumatized or hurt and what not and it actually makes me so sad and all I want is to just hug and protect him. I’ve never really felt so strongly for a tv show character before so i guess that just shows how amazingly written the characters actually are.

[@lorele1e]

Him being the creators's favorite character just behind Cartman and Randy is a big honor, and I dont think the show would be the same without him.

[@MaidenHelll]

Butters Randy Towelie

[@jaidora]

There was a quick line that Butters said when he was burning all of his make-believe costumes, when he was throwing them into the fire saying no more [Insert Occupation] Butters he briefly said "No more Porn Star Butters" and that already raises a ton of red flags and questions.

[@Echoe-14]

It’s about the time Cartman made “Cheese Pizza” with Butters without his consent

[@ishtar4061]

Real

[@amanpreetgill7564]

​@@Echoe-14ain't no way you're telling me Butters got raped by Cartman? That's the funniest shit ever 😂😂

[@365ral]

It's also the perfect contrast between him and Cartman. Butters' traumatic life should make him more like Cartman, and Cartman's cushy life should make him more like Butters, but they both end up with the opposite personalities.

[@tundraffa2597]

It ends up like this in real life too

[@marleydennis]

wait this is so true😭

[@1superstar817]

That speaks to how strong and good of a person Butters is.

[@BatgirlStan]

Not really, Cartman is the way he is directly because of his mother’s enabling. Having parents like the stotches would NOT have made him narcissistic and sadistic

[@localmenace3043]

Hearing _Butters_ of all people say he thought of himself as a “twerpy little loser” who was unloved really hit hard the first time I watched that special. He seems like such an innocent and loving character that hearing him say that felt so… awful. Even more awful than a lot of the things the others say on a weekly basis. It really felt up there with Stan being depressed in “You’re Getting Old”.

[@fauna5328]

I mean... bro really is unloved 😭😭💔

[@12DAMDO]

to be fair.. if a kid looks unbothered by a traumatic event, the chance of it manifesting itself as a trauma later on in life is actually still there.. kids deal with trauma differently than adults, and the big thing about trauma is how it affects someone later in life rather than how it affects them during the event.. so he could still be traumatized in the given examples..

I absolutely love Butters. He feels like a son to me. I've never wanted to hug a fictional character so badly. You'd be surprised how many people I've come across who actually deeply hate Butters and think he's more evil than Cartman somehow, but they seem to be a vocal minority.

[@mremu4358]

They must be like butters parents lol

[@ishtar4061]

Real, I've seen them several times and I feel a crazy pain in my chest, those people are not trustworthy at all.

[@asexualartistry]

It's probably worth mentioning that seeing a child with a ninja star in his eye wasn't the thing that people freaked out about, the massive upheaval at the end of that episode was Cartman streaking because he was pretending to be invisible, it feels like having your severe injury brushed aside like that would be pretty traumatic

[@amanpreetgill7564]

That's hilarious ngl, butters catching Ls and stars 😂

[@tripacesfellas7011]

"CAN I JUST HAVE SOME SPAGHETTIO?" fucking killed me

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

With that comparison to Kenny at the beginning, I realised how fitting it was the boys made butters their replacement to Kenny after his death. The two kind of parallel each other in how their suffering is used as a running gag. Where Kenny’s running suffering came from his physical deaths, Butters’s comes from the more mental traumas (and occasional physical traumas). As a certain Indiana Jones violator would say: it’s like poetry, they rhyme…

[@psykomantis65-qh8dm]

George Lucas?

[@ellicel]

Plus they both have a very sweet side and truly awesome superhero / villain personas. Butters is my favorite but Kenny is a close second.

[@NyanCatMatt]

2:00 i feel we should still talk about those times when Butters was unaware of what was really happening, because i think not only would someone develop some major psychological issues from their known traumas, but would probably figure it out later in life, compounding the mental issues. i'd watch that deep dive.

[@moodybagels6564]

This. It's often how childhood trauma works, actually

[@gonzoshots4691]

tbh, im amazed you condensed this into 30 minutes. Butters. Goes. Through. It.

[@crashburn3292]

And it could've been much shorter. The episode review part of the video didn't even begin until 4:28 after all the intro/commercial bs was done.

[@fauna5328]

[@wutduhh]

dude that episode when butters gets the ninja star in his eye was so sad 🙏😭

[@ItsDrope]

I hate it with a passion.

[@gaidencastro9706]

Something interesting: Kenny used to be the punching bag of the show, with him constantly getting bullied by the boys. But when Butters was introduced and given main character status, _he_ became the punching bag.

[@amharbingerreactions]

The reason I like Butters is that he is shown to be innocent but completely capable of being even more dangerous than Cartman. Either indirectly or through intricate planning.

[@grassystring7852]

Since "Butters very own episode" , he's become my favorite character in the show

[@cloudykid7278]

As someone who used to relate to Butters in terms of home life (albeit in a less exaggerated way but somewhat similar), in a way, he's a comfort character who makes me feel less alone.

[@claytonrios1]

Loo Loo Loo, I got some apples. That's definitely my favorite catchphrase of his. I sometimes sing it myself.

[@AutisticGee]

[@Future_Doggo]

That Adam & Eve sponsorship is just a giant middle finger to KZbin and I love it, lmao.

[@Santoryu90]

With all the stuff Butters goes through, it makes it even better when he actually gets a W, especially when won it’s over Cartman.

[@rosarioby612]

I love Butters so much. Just once I wish there was a consistent character who was nice to him and stood up for him.

[@FlareonGames]

Calling Butters an SCP in the COVID special is the perfect description of him there…

[@mysticalkeyblade759]

I feel like Butters was basically an unplanned pregnancy and that’s why his parents treat him like shit

[@Unknownt-uu7td]

Nah i think his parents would have treated him like that anyways

[@Treeeee2008]

Nah they're just horrible parents through and through

[@connie4334]

Whenever I think my childhood was fucked up I just think of butters and realize how lucky I was

[@Fonzzz002]

Honestly, Butters breaking out in tears when the girls bully him is one of the saddest moments in the show. He had been holding that in for quite a while.

Everytime Butters gets grounded or gets hurt it actually makes me angry for him but I also love how he just gets out of situations like Mr.Magoo

[@CaptainCat101]

Despite all the horrible things that happen to Butters, he's always been my favorite character. The worst thing that happened to him was easily the Channel Frederator video that got a ton of facts wrong about him.

[@BorealBlizzard]

"Im gonna be ok!!" "No im lying" is probably the realest line in the whole show bar none

[@bravearrow7866]

Butters was forced to put a loaded gun in his mouth and leave it in there for hours in that one episode about memeing

[@SiesVE]

The new special has butters getting shot at by his mother in a high speed heist chase for ozempic… so the trend continues.

[@Dative420]

Butters is the sweetest kid and it's pretty sad he is a punching bag, he is like meg from family guy but better and i hope he gets revenge

[@AutisticGee]

Butters is literally how I was as a kid when I was in elementary, a mix of Stan and Butters. Now I’m them plus Kyle Kenny and Cartman (well just his humor and his love for food) but yah ofc everyone love butters he’s adorable 😊 🍎

[@el_tabarnako9224]

I love that you and Johnny shout each other out in your videos. It's so wholesome, and you both make such amazing content.

[@Arcademan09]

Ninja star to the eye followed by getting poisoned from glue fumes is pretty bad but getting violently probbed by a "professional" Doctor ranks pretty high as well. And then there's Cartman's "prank" photo

There are actually a lot of real life Butters out there The innocently naive dreamer who almost never wins & is constantly exploited & attacked basically because hes an extremely easy target Growing up I was the arcetypical Butters, but because I was given oppertunities growing up that Butters never had, have a severly autistic brother who did more wonders for me than Rain Man taking his brother Charlie to Vegas & didnt have sadistic parents with a grounding obsession Ive managed to almost competely avoid the trauma & manipulation Butters & probably to a lesser extents thousands of kids like him have gone through & am on the way to achieving my dream of becoming a filmmaker I hope Matt & Trey end the series with Butters living a happy life & that all his pain & suffering was worth it

[@spxars]

The reason why Butters is my favourite character, is just the fact that he is so convinced that he is everyone’s friend- even if he has mentioned how Cartman is rude to him, Butters still tries to please everyone and still calls Cartman a friend, even after everything he has done to him.

[@MaVerik1727]

Im going to be honest, i was not expecting the adult toys commercial 2 minutes into the video

[@gmb4825]

Butters being left behind in imagination land with terrorists would have been pretty traumatizing as well

[@shikara24]

[@Dagnylokibarn]

Something I learned from my childhood trauma is that if the people around me had responded to my need for care right away instead of ignoring it and pretending it didn’t exist so it’d go away, it might not have been so crippling in adulthood. Take care of your kids after something stressful or scary and they will remember how protected they felt.

[@original_demonic]

The thing that made me believe Butters was truly one of the most likeable South Park Characters was recently watching RTGame play the South Park games. He had seen exactly one episode prior, one that didn’t include butters, who happens to be the first character you meet in the stick of truth. I have watched every single person who played that game adore butters as a companion, and adore him more as professor chaos…and seeing the same thing happen to someone who barely knew the names enough to tell who was who once the superhero stuff started, made me so happy. He’s so endearing and the most normal kid out of the lot. He wants to be involved, has a moral compass that can easily be overrun because he wants to be involved, and just wants friends like any normal kid. He doesn’t swear like the others do, he plays normally when antics aren’t involved, and he’s usually just a well meaning little guy. I genuinely hate when he gets mistreated, and I want an episode where he actually gets what he deserves…not to be grounded and traumatised and assaulted. And I’ll be damned if “Loo Loo Loo, I’ve got some apples, Loo Loo Loo, you’ve got some too” doesn’t get stuck in my head from time to time and make me smile.

[@NobodyC13]

Butters' infamous tap-dancing accident is a reference to Final Destination and the early 2000s horror movie Ghost Ship (a couple people were sliced in half by a falling/snapped cable, in reference to Ghost Ship's opening prologue where an entire dance room full of guests were massacred by a steel wire trap slicing them in half by the waist up save for Emily Browning's character who was too short and missed the wire).

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Cartman making butters believe he was the soul survivor of an apocalypse where there are cannibal mutant zombies on the outside and locking him in a refrigerator in a dump and almost suffocating him is one of my fave butters episodes. Oh yeah wasn't that the casa Bonita episode? It was! I love that trey and Matt are reopening the restraunt
