South Park: 10 Best Characters Who Appeared After Season One
What is South Park without Tweek?
South Park has been running for 24 seasons now, and in that time, it's easily become one of the most influential cartoons of all time.
There are people in the world who probably don't even know the name South Park, but show them an image of Kenny or Cartman, and they'll still look familiar. The show is enormous, and a lot of that has to do with the cast of characters.
The snowy mountain town is populated with rather bizarre (yet hilarious) people, making you wonder how wild it must be to live there. That's what makes the series fun, as the bombastic and ridiculous townsfolk cause problem after problem and provide an endless stream of laughs.
But, while the cast has always been strong, it's expanded so much since the first season.
As of right now, South Park has one of the largest casts on TV, and tonnes of those characters came after their debut season. The following are the best examples of this, as despite not being there at the beginning, they'll be there at the end, making us laugh all the way.
10. Al Gore
South Park bashing politicians is hardly anything new, but they went to town on Al Gore.
The show tore him apart so much that he ended up being a beloved recurring character who is more relevant thanks to the personality they assigned him than the satire he displays. Who doesn't love a character who's "super cereal".
Al Gore was briefly shown in the season three episode "Red Badge Of Gayness", but the season 10 outing "ManBearPig" fully introduced him and his infamous rival, the dreaded half man, half bear, half pig monster.
Gore was instantly hilarious as his goofy voice and lack of self-awareness was savage. They painted him like a wannabe superhero who saw himself as the saviour of the world but left kids to die in the process.
As he progressed in the show, he devolved into a conspiracy nut obsessionist who spent his life hunting the dreaded ManBearPig. To make matters even better, the global warming messages Gore was initially mocked for are now taken seriously by the show, making the gag come full circle.
