South Park: 10 Times Butters Was TOO Innocent

10. Butters' Fifteen Minutes Of Fame

In the penultimate episode of season five, the show decides to stick to its guns and kill off Kenny for good. Well, at least until the end of season six but still, it's a much longer turnaround than his usual next episode resurrections.

With Kenny gone, Stan, Kyle, and Cartman look for a replacement to fill the void that he left behind. They even go as far as hosting tryouts to find the most suitable candidate, but before that, they decide to give Butters a shot.

It becomes clear that the extent of Butters involvement in the group is just to be the scapegoat for any undesirable tasks. Butters is so willing to do whatever it takes to be part of the gang, even if it puts him in a precarious position.

One such task is having prosthetic testicles superglued to his chin so that he can make an appearance on The Maury Povich Show, in order to be gifted some sort of prize. A poorly devised plan if ever there was one.

Things take a turn for the worse when Butters meets people backstage with genuine disfigurements who make a living from talk show appearances, and don't take kindly to imposters. He somehow manages to juggle a grounding from his father, protesting with the self-proclaimed 'freaks,' and keeping those balls glued to his chin.

In the end, Butters actually seems to come out on top. After Cartman exposes him by ripping the prosthetics from his face, the freaks turn on Cartman, rather than realising Butters was an imposter. Butters fans, rejoice for the small victory.
