10 Best South Park Characters Only In One Episode
They may have only appeared once, but you'll have a hard time forgetting them!
When a show runs for 23 seasons, there will inevitably be a wide assortment of characters. South Park is a series that actively employs new roles to stand against the existing ones, and within its time, the creators have introduced a plethora of memorable parts that became regular cast members. Still, in equal measure, they have given audiences some of the best one-time-episode characters ever seen on TV.
The following entries feature an incredibly varied set of roles, as South Park delves into many sources and genres. They have all given viewers unbelievably funny experiences, and some have even brought about a few of the darkest areas the show has ever explored. However, the main factor they all share is that they were incredibly memorable, despite only appearing once.
An essential thing to note is that this list will only be including original characters. The show's use of celebrities and big-name brands are frequent, and many of them only appear in a single episode. But, to examine Trey Parker and Matt Stone's skill in generating unique roles, those based on established people won't be used.
This list will contain spoilers.
10. Peetie The Sexual Harassment Panda
This character - also known as Tom Morris - made his first (and only) appearance in the appropriately titled episode Sexual Harassment Panda. This character's job is to act as a safe guide to teaching children about the horrors of harassment, but things go awry after they question what a Panda has to do with that subject, and he inadvertently starts a trend of suing each other over petty issues, for which he loses his job.
The character is hilarious as he explores the strange idea of mascots who take their position too seriously. Although it's clear that there is a man underneath the suit, he remains in character throughout and even ends up getting shipped to the Island of Misfit Mascots, a place for costume characters to reinvent themselves.
The narrative concludes in a hilarious, yet satisfying way, with him finally finding a new direction as Peetie the Don't Sue People Panda. It's a hilarious episode, and Tom Morris acts as a memorable role despite only appearing once.
