10 Most Underrated South Park Characters

1. Karen McCormick

This character's position at the top of this list is less conventional than the other entries, and that comes from the fact that she isn't necessarily underrated because of her personality. Karen McCormick isn't given much in regards to her character, she is simply the youngest member of the McCormick family, but it's her connection with Kenny which is under-appreciated.

One of the most emotional moments in the entire show comes from the relationship Karen has with her brother. He uses his Mysterion persona to protect her multiple times, and thus she dubs him her "Guardian Angel". It is a delightful narrative that lends a lot to the character of Kenny and reveals a lot about the innocence of Karen.

This narrative itself just isn't appreciated as it should be, and the dynamic between the two could be a far more prevalent part of the series. She does get some development, even turning into a Vampire kid in the games and show, but doesn't get the spotlight away from this.

The dynamic between this brother and sister could have been a great aspect of the show, and one of the characters behind it is thoroughly underrated.
