I didn't watch the entire episode, but it appeared as though Butters lost an eye in the first episode of the 8th season. Is that correct? Tuf-Kat 00:33, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Well, yes, shurikens are tough on eyes, but that doesn't mean he won't have two eyes in the second episode. Kenny's still not all that dead.... (Did you miss Cartman's penis?) -- Nunh-huh 00:36, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I don't recall anything involving Cartman's penis. I will have to wait for a repeat... Stupid job... Tuf-Kat 01:45, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Perhaps that "he was blinded in his left eye by Kenny's shuriken" part should be deleted as he wasn't blinded after all?
- He got hit in the eye, but in the end he gets it bandanged up and it eventually heals. As for Cartmans penis, he shows it after he walks on stage naked. He does this because he belives he can turn invisible when he is in ninja mode so he takes off all his clothes and tries to sneak across a stage. Halfway through they all see him and he realizes he isn't really invisible. At the town meeting they all act as if it was just liek Janet Jacksons "Wardrobe Malfunction."
- Perhaps that "he was blinded in his left eye by Kenny's shuriken" part should be deleted as he wasn't blinded after all?

[edit] page move
Is there any real reason to have this article at "Butters (South Park)"? I thought the convention was to have the article at the simplest title possible, and I don't see any reason to add "(South Park)" to this article's title, since this character is the only Butters. Personally, I think the article should be at "Butters Stotch", following the format of Eric Cartman and Stan Marsh... Lachatdelarue (talk) 01:55, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, articles should be at the simplest name, but butters should logically redirect to butter rather than being about a fictional character. -03:06, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
-
- Then let's put the article at Butters Stotch. Lachatdelarue (talk) 03:20, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- What about calling the article "Leopold 'Butters' Stoch"? That is his real name and it would mirror other pages where the nickname doesn't take over for the real name.Papercrab 07:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Butters and Asperger's syndrome
You may well consider me the biggest one on the bus for doing this, but the following link is to a thread I started on the Delphi Aspergers and Autistic Adults forum. Hope you find it interesting, because it has to do with whether or not Butters has Asperger's syndrome. JB82 03:22, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Thats extremely interesting you recognized that, and after reading that article Butters does exhibit a few of the symptoms, but also lacks a couple of really important characteristics to be diagnosed. Primarily he does not exhibit "Mind-blindness" and is not "rude" as it seems most people Aspergers seem to exhibit. He also does not seem clumsy, on the contrary he is one of the best tap dancers in the country, a skill that requires great motor skills. I am no expert though so I could be wrong.
He does exhibit the sort of logical thought process described and has obsessive repetitve habits like wring/kneeding his hands together.
[edit] The Parents
I don't think they're overprotective. They're strict, but they always blame him for everything when the chance arises. In the episode with the chinese wall around the city, they don't recognize him on first sight. It seems more like they use him to satisfy their sadistic urges.
- South Park is full of lousy parents, but I really think the Stotches take the cake. How about the time they kept accusing him of making faces when he was just being normal? The paragraph on them really needs to be expanded. -james_anatidae 03:05, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
in the article it says the parents are "Chris and Lynda Stotch", but the link on the bottom links to stephen and linda as the parents. Kgs 08:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Their article says this: "Butters' father's name changes constantly between Stephen and Chris - in Die Hippie, Die, Linda addresses him as Stephen, while in Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset, she calls him Chris. Either one of them could be a middle name, though." Gdo01 08:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Veronica Mars section and references
The very long section about Veronica Mars belongs in an article about that show. It is a minor mention at most for this article. -- Kjkolb 09:33, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I moved the section into its own article and mentioned the character in the trivia section.
I removed the references because they were clones of Wikipedia, meaning they are copies of this article, though possibly out of date. -- Kjkolb 14:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marjorine
The most recent Butter-centered episode is "Marjorine",in which Butters is dressed up as a girl and goes to a girls party to find out more about their forunte telling device. His suicide is faked, leaving his parents distraught. Thier psycotic side comes out yet again when they practice pagan rituals, and then proced to chain up their son on return and feed him a dead body.
[edit] Professor Chaos
I think Professor Chaos should redirect to the episode rather than to Butters. Borisblue 15:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
on the issue of PC the article currenty states that it is based upon Dr Doom. i personally think the style of the costume especially the helmet is more remanicent of the marvel supervillan Magneto. is there some original source that states the creater was inspired by Doom or should i go ahead and make note that magneto may also be a source of inspiration?--Dr noire 16:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Butters skills
I might be wrong, I'm not really addicted to South Park, but I think he goes to a Festival where he shows off his dance skills while singing "Loo, loo, loo" in the episode "Erection Day". This is not listed in the main page.
[edit] Surname?
In Episode 205, Conjoined Fetus Lady, during the intro dodgeball fight Stan calls for "Jordan and Swanson" to come forward, where an unknown kid and Butters come forward. Did Butters have a last name change before he was introduced as a main character? Jgamekeeper 05:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Basically, yes.
[edit] # 7 Episodes where Butters plays an important part
I think that its needless. Butters is a main character now, so pretty much all recent episodes are ones where he "plays an important part". A simple line indicating this, instead of a list is needed instead. -~~
[edit] which episode?
which episode does Butters tell Stan hes Prof. Chaos?
- My Future Self n' Me --Sonic Mew 22:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Butters' Uncle
It says at that "Butters received annilingus from his uncle" at the bottom of the page. Is this really appropriate? I mean, I'm not doubting this happened (I saw that episode), but at the very least, shouldn't it be reworded? The statement itself implies that Butters, as a minor, wanted it.
[edit] Removing irrelevant / redundant links
I'll be removing some irrelevant or redundant links, one section at a time, over the next few days per the Style Manual on Links. Will do one section at a time to avoid reverting anyone by accident. --CliffC 15:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- All done; happily it took hours not days. --CliffC 16:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is Butters a parody of Utah State Senator Chris Buttars?
Hmmm... just a thought...

[edit] when did butters get the picture of john elway
what episode does he get it.
[edit] Reference to the Death of Eric Cartman
I feel like Butters' rather horrible experience being anally probed for 14 hours in the episode "The Death of Eric Cartman" should be mentioned, if only in passing. Much of the first part of the article is about how bad things happen to him despire his good intentions and that seems to be the worst so far.Papercrab 07:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed Information from Wrong Header
I removed the following from "Art" and will move it to Prof. Chaos in a different context.
"In one episode, Butters developed an addiction to porn after accidentally viewing a porno movie thought to be the Lord of the Rings. This "darker" side to his wholesome character is hinted at in a few other episodes as well." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.233.22.234 (talk) 05:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Popularity
"Butters places second only to Cartman as the most popular character on South Park" Where is that coming from? I doubt there's any real way to validate this statement so it should probably be removed. Tweeks Coffee 14:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sexuality
IN Cartman Sucks he said that he was bi curious
- Clearly without understanding that word, though. He's deferring the priest, his father, and the counselors at the church camp, all authority figures who label him that way by mistake.
-
- Butters clearly has no idea what "bi-curious" means. And when he is told he is confused because he is bi-curious, he is literally cofused "what the heck are they talking about". This was the entire gag behind the Butters plotline in this episode, the hes realyl straight but is convinced by others he is bi-curious and does not even know what that means. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thrawny (talk • contribs) 16:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Reference in first paragraph
In the first paragraph, the source for Butters' birthday is referenced to another Wikipedia article. I'm not entirely sure about the WP etiquette on this is, so I'm bringing it up here, but it seems very unlikely that it is within wikipedian guidelines to reference another wikipedia article as a source. It would make sense to me to ammend the sentence to read "His birthday is September 11, as revealed in episode "AWESOM-O." Leopold Stotch 20:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
