South Park: 10 Best Characters Who Appeared After Season One

6. PC Principal

Tweek South Park

Seeing as the lower-ranked faculty members of South Park Elementary are some of the funniest in the entire show (look at Mr Mackey and Mr Garrison), you'd have expected the highest up to be just as exciting.

Sadly, for 19 seasons, viewers were treated to the absolute snore-fest that was Principal Victoria in charge of the school. That was, at least, until this guy came along to make things right.

Introduced in the season 19 episode "Stunning and Brave", this character acted as a satirical attack on politically correct culture. However, he's less a jab at the idea itself and more the people who enforce it. This led to him sticking out like a sore thumb in the town of South Park, but in all the right ways.

His attempts to bring social justice to the elementary school has been a hilariously mixed bag of success, as PC Principal has proven to be entirely inept at getting stuff done. This has led to some brilliant moments and even some great long-term storytelling (Leslie's identity reveal being a prominent example).

He may have arrived very late in the game, but he's an essential player now.
