South Park Elementary: Every Faculty Member Ranked Worst To Best

8. Mr. Adler

South Park Ms. Pearl

Upon first glance, Mr Adler might seem like one of the less compelling characters in the show, but he does have some sides that make him stand out. We've all had a teacher like him, which makes him seem a little too "normal" in South Park, but his dark backstory is a plus point that helps him climb the ladder in this hierarchy.

Mr Adler acted as the counterpoint to Ms Pearl in "Tweek x Craig" as he took the role of shop class teacher and tried his best to teach the kids not to "screw around". However, he had a significant subplot in this episode that explored the death of his fiancé, who perished in a plane crash. It was a hilarious - if weird - side venture that gave the character a slight edge and some development.

Although he has appeared in a tonne of episodes, it's generally in a small capacity where he speaks very little. Still, it's always easy to spot him thanks to his balding head, plaster and sweater, so he doesn't just blend into the background.
