Frequently Asked Questions

Matt and Trey and the rest of the gang will be back to give you 7 all-new, super-sweet episodes -- starting in September. The first new episode will premiere on SEPTEMBER 26th, 2012!!

This is the FAQ of the month -- everyone has been asking about this!! And for good reason -- Cartman has put Butters' wiener in his mouth, had Kyle suck his balls, dressed up like Britney Spears and kissed a Justin TImberlake cutout, and now...confessed his "love" for Kyle.

So is he gay? Is he really in love with Kyle?? All we can say for certain is that he is definitely one confused little kid. (Let's not forget he's also committed countless crimes, befriended the dark lord Cthulhu, and indirectly killed Tenorman's parents, one of which turns out to be his own father). To find out more about his real feelings, we're all gonna just have to watch and see what happens in September...

It's really hard to see a totally-unhooded, unobstructed Kenny McCormick in the show. But there are several episodes where you can see most of his face and it's pretty sweet. Check out "The Losing Edge" (905), "The Jeffersons" (807), "Margaritaville" (1303), "Pee" (1314), "Super Best Friends" (504) and "You're Getting Old" (1507, at Stan's birthday party). Keep your eye out for his signature blond mop of hair.

Most recently, you can also see a pretty amazing reveal of his face in "Broadway Bro Down" (1511). He standing in line for the diving board, all the way on the right!

For the fully-exposed, unmuffled version of Kenny, you need to check out the South Park Movie: "Bigger, Longer, and Uncut." It's awesome.

Officially adding this one to the Most Frequently Asked Questions, since this is a great question and it gets asked all the time. There is indeed a very visible little Visitor in the back window of the car, hanging out behind Randy. See if you can spot it below...

The "why" part of that question is simple: Visitors appear all the time in South Park. In the background, in crowds, on the walls, in the artwork -- they pop up quickly, when you least expect it. But if you're REALLY craving some answers, watch the episode "Cancelled" (704). It explains... everything!

Good question! I'm actually adding this to the Most Frequently Asked Questions tab, since we get it a lot. Also using this FAQ to answer the many questions about seeing the new episodes Uncensored:

NEW EPISODES ONLINE: We try to get the episode online as soon as possible after the show airs on the west coast (about 10:35PM PST on Wednesday nights). But it usually takes a little time for the site's cache to clear and for everything to be properly displayed. So if you live on the east coast, it will be there Thursday morning. West coasters, it should be available very, very late Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning.

UNCENSORED NEW EPISODES: As you probably noticed, the show on Wednesday night is censored (on air and on our site). The final, uncensored audio version is finished Thursday night. Again, it takes a while for the site's cache to clear, so usually the uncensored episodes should be available very late night on Thursday or early Friday morning.

These name change questions are asked so often, I am officially adding this to the new "Most Frequently Answered Questions" section! And here's the answer, plus some:

As you mentioned, last names (and even first names) get switched up a lot in South Park. To be perfectly honest, this name game is just a side effect of the way the episodes are made. When you're creating a show, start-to-finish in 6 days, most of the time goes into getting the episode finished and on the air before the deadline. And when you've done that over 200 times, little details slip through the cracks. So Swanson becomes Valmer, and Williams becomes Black, and Mr. Garrison becomes a woman who becomes a lesbian who becomes a man again thanks to a penis mouse. It's all pretty simple.

Here's the rundown of name changes throughout the years:

Jimmy Swanson ---> Jimmy Valmer
Token Williams -----> Token Black
Chris Stotch ---------> Stephen Stotch
Clyde Harris ---------> Clyde Donovan
Mr. Garrison, Ethan Garrison (pen name), Miss Garrison, Janet Garrison ----------> Mr. Herbert Garrison
Red, Bertha, Rebbecca ------> Red
Jordan (Season 2) ------> Annie
Swanson (Season 2) ------> Butters
Carol (Season 1, "Death") ------> Sharon Marsh

We are officially adding this to the "Most Frequently Answered Questions" category, since it gets asked at least 30 times a week.

Gerald and Sheila are indeed in the church with the rest of the town. You can see them on the left side -- in fact, Gerald's still wearing his yarmulke. The animators put the Broflovskis in there as a little easter egg. Townspeople get hidden all the time in large crowd shots like that, even if it doesn't make sense. A perfect example is the crowd shot below from "Britney's New Look" (1202). Watch close, you'll see random characters from probably 50 other episodes in there, even some that are dead. It's pretty sweet.

You're right about that, Cartman's cat has been shown swinging both ways. My guess is Mister Kitty is a hermaphrodite, just like Cartman's mom. Little bit of both worlds, with an extra side of cheese.

You're right on both accounts. Butters was indeed kissed by the newly-slutified home-school girl Rebecca in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" (313), and we've gotten a bajillion emails about it. No, it's not a mistake, we're aware of it. And the explanation is simple -- What happens in the Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance stays in the Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance.

Besides if you really look at the clip Butters is the one being kissed in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics", but he stepped up to the plate in "Butters' Bottom Bitch" and became a man!

This is probably the most frequently asked FAQ of all time. And rightfully so, the first South Park Movie was so potent, we're all still recovering from the blow. Unfortunately, at the current moment, there are no plans for a second South Park Movie. But you never know what the future may bring, crazier things have happened...
