South Park has poked fun at more than a few famous faces over the years.
Honestly,likely in the most brutal ways in animation history. It’s been a well known
tactic for theshow’s creators to give social commentary, and celebrities are the typically
the firstcasualties of the show’s brilliant and ruthless satire. We decided it was high
time to talkabout who we consider the most good and evil among these celebrity characters...
I’m Brad with WickedBinge and this is ​South Park Celebrity Characters:Good to Evil.Now
because South Park has been on the air for so long, there are way too manycelebrities
to include​ everyone ​on this list. So we’ll be covering the characters who wethink had
the most lasting impression.Sidenote, it should go without saying... We are only ranking these
celebrities based ontheir fictional South Park versions.As usual, we'll be starting with the
most pure and noble character and workingour way down. These characters are The Good.We
didn’t feel right not mentioning ​Brian Boitano​. While he wasn’t an active player inany adventure,
he was given high praise during the first South Park film ​Bigger, Longer,Uncut. ​Boitano was
even given a song talking about how heroic and amazing he was,with the boys deciding on how to
deal with MAC and the impending war with the simplequestion of “what would Brian Boitano
do?”... Which solidifies that he is indeed a greathero in the universe of South Park.
Next up we have the Dog Whisperer ​Ceasar Millan​. ​This appearance
was made evenbetter when you learn that Caesar actually gave a reaction to this
episode on Youtube,which you can still watch on his channel. And just like Caesar himself,
fans everywherewere pretty delighted with the episode. Unlike a lot of other appearances on
the show,Caesar was shown as being level-headed and educated through his time on screen and
was the only person to successfully get Eric to change his behaviour in a way thatstuck.
Or at least it would have had Liane not fallen back into her old habits.Next we have Stan's
dog,​​Sparky​. ​Now he isn’t a famous mutt by any means, but hewas voiced by George Clooney so
we couldn’t resist adding him. He was stated asbeing the “toughest dog on the mountain”
and he clearly cared for Stan in the show.While he isn’t a core member of the Marsh family like
Brian is to the Griffins or Santa’sLittle Helper is to the Simpsons, he still featured in a key
episode teaching Stan and theviewers about treatment of those different from us.Featured
in one of the Halloween specials, we have the band ​Korn​ next. When theyappeared, they were nothing
short of great guys who genuinely wanted to do what theycould to help out. While turning into
giant ears of corn covered in butter wasn’t the mostimpressive tactic to use on the pirate ghosts,
we don’t count that against them. After all,they even admit that it was just a cool power,
even if it was useless.Next up we have the​​Jonas Brothers​. Used by Mickey Mouse, they didn’t have
a lot ofsay in what they did and how they promoted themselves. We rank them higher becausethough
they did have doubts on how they presented themselves to young girls, theydidn’t know
that the purity rings were basically brainwashing people. They finally brokefree of Mickey’s control
when the famous mouse was exposed on national tv and wentback to doing their music their way,
which we give them a lot of credit for. They weren’theroic, but they did care for one another
and for their fans.It’s an unusual one, but we felt we had to include Cartman’s ​Hand Version
of JenniferLopez​. ​She’s expressed as being sweet in the beginning, though a little pushy.
As thepressure mounted, she was easily swept up in the glory of fame and became more andmore
demanding of those around her. She did eventually leave, but the impact shemade was a lasting
one.Next we are placing ​Martha Stewart​. ​She wasn’t really directly involved with any
of theresidents of South Park. Her character was more used to show how trends thatoriginated from
the mountain town picked up in other areas. Always shown with a smileon her face and trying to make
things ‘happier’ and always saying it was “a good thing”as she led her audience through step by step
processes of putting glitter or a wholeturkey in unmentionable places. Not a villain, but just as
swept up in the hype as manyothers.Next up we’re placing ​Will Smith and Snoop Dogg​ together.
They were some of thefirst to move to South Park after Token placed an ad about the town. They were
well-spoken and well-mannered and their families were as well. We didn’t have theheart to place
them lower since they tried settling in as well as they could into the town,finally
chased out by the older residents.Taking the next placement, we have ​Oprah.​​She’s a strong figure,
always demandingthe truth from others whether they were on her show or just someone in the public
eye.She didn’t cause a rampage like many others on this list such as Mel Gibson or Al Gore.She’s
one of the figures people often turn to in the show for input on recent events andtrends,
and she doesn’t tend to take that power lightly. Plus we give her a lot of creditfor keeping her
cool when being held at gunpoint.Next we have ​The Ghost of Abe Lincoln​. ​This was a weird
one, but we felt it wasworth bringing up. He showed up to teach Kyle about how appearances
or the lackthereof wasn’t something to get hung up on, teaching Kyle it was worth more to nothave the
“personality of a wet carrot.” While it was an odd lesson to learn from theformer president,
it was a decent one.With that said, we've arrived at the neutral territory. These
characters fall in TheGrey Area.She was tough to place, but we’re putting ​Britney Spears​ next.
We felt we had to placeher lower since she wasn’t shown as a great hero or anyone giving a word of
wisdom toothers, but she was a sweet young woman pushed too far over the edge. Her episode isa
dark one with a lot of commentary given on how we treat our celebrities. The fact wastoo much
was expected of her and when she failed to meet those ridiculousexpectations, she was criticized
relentlessly and blew her head off. Britney didn’tdeserve the end that she received, but
it was an important message to hear.Next we have a character that’s appeared so many
times on the show, he may as wellbe a resident of the town: ​Al Gore​. ​He’s written off as
delusional during his initialappearances. He rambles about ManBearPig, makes whooshing noises
whilepretending to fly around in a cape and tries to do what he can to increase his notoriety.As
the show continued though, we learned that his fears about ManBearPig were validand that the
creature was a representation of a much bigger threat, making Gore’spestering in early episodes
more valid. Love him or hate him, he’s not a malicious guy.He just doesn’t always have
the best methods for dealing with the problem at hand.\We mainly rank Al Gore lower because he uses
the threat of ManBearPig to drawattention to himself and fuel his own inflated ego.
Next up, take a seat with ​Chris Hansen​. Shown when Eric faked having Tourette’sSyndrome,
he was shown as being far more aggressive than he was displayed in thepublic eye.
He even flat out tells Eric about how a predator that wanted to avoid beingon air shot himself,
implying that Chris had taken the man out and asked Eric if hewanted to meet the same fate.
But on the other hand, we also can’t drop Chris lower onthis list because once numerous predators
are tricked into showing up for the airing,they all pull out guns on themselves, hinting that
maybe Chris had been bluffing aboutthe threat. It’s a mixed message that leads to some questions
and a lot of doubt.One of the most quoted appearances, we have ​Michael Jackson​​next.
He was such afan favourite after his initial appearance that he was brought back a few times,
slowlybecoming more and more well-meaning. He wasn’t the best parent for his son when hefirst
came to the town and was able to reflect on Kyle calling him out. He wasn’t aconsiderate spector,
leaving countless spirits in limbo while he tried to live through Ike.But we give him credit that we
don’t think he was trying to be a horrible person. He’sdisplayed as struggling with his identity
and lack of a childhood, which we can givesome sympathy for.We can’t help but feel bad for her,
but we had to place ​Jennifer Lopez​​pretty low aswell. We couldn’t place her in our good spectrum
due to how she reacted to Eric usinghis hand to feed off of her fame, but we couldn’t place her
among the most evil evenafter she threatened to beat Eric with a bat. After all, we can
understand her struggle.She lost her status and her partner to a child using a hand puppet
and that would driveanyone over the edge.Next we have the stealer of jokes ​Carlos Mencia​.
He wound up being a short livedcharacter after stealing Jimmy’s joke and claiming it for his
own. He had unknowinglygained Kanye West’s wrath, and spent most of his time on screen begging for
mercywhile trying to explain the joke to the rapper. Now we don’t condone stealing jokes,
buthe did meet a brutal end. The only reason we can’t place him higher is because hedidn’t admit
to his wrong-doing until it led to physical violence.Next is a real fish out of water:
​Kanye West​. ​Arrogant and self-obsessed, he took outCarlos Mencia, thinking the man was
spreading rumors about him. And all becauseKanye couldn’t understand a joke and refused to believe
that there was something outthere that he didn’t understand. When he reappears on the
show he seems to be lessviolent and tries to take his time to defend his wife, which shows
a step in the rightdirection. We’ll likely be seeing more of him as the show continues.
Because of a certain group’s love of taking down anyone that pokes fun at them or callsthem out,
we’re just going to mention ​Tom Cruise and John Travolta​​in particularwhen it comes to that
certain group... These two were not the brightest, as shown withtheir sheep mentality and how they
easily believe that Stan was a reincarnation with theman who founded their religion. We rank them
here because while they were quick towant to sue Stan when he tried revealing who was
really manipulating them, they didn’tdo anything directly malicious to Stan or the other residents.
Though Tom didinconvenience the family and town a lot.South Park loves to make fun of politicians
and ​Hilary Clinton​ is a favourite of theirs topoke fun at. She’s been seen in more than a few
episodes, being saved from a bomb inher lower body and escalating to a woman who used Gerald’s love
of trolling againsthim. The darker she gets in the public eye, the worse her character on the show,
so it’sno shock that she’s fallen so far from grace. Without a doubt one of the scariest
thingsabout Hillary on the show was how she knows how to play the game and keep herselffrom
getting caught.Finally, we've reached the dark side. These characters are The Bad
and The Evil.Let’s move on to ​Maury Povich​. ​We felt we had to include
him as Eric being on hisshow led to one of the most well known Eric Cartman moments. However,
we placeMaury pretty low for his treatment of his guests, wanting to get the most radical guestshe
could to boost his ratings. He exploits his talk show guests purely for entertainmentpurposes
which is pretty dark and immoral.We really can’t forget about ​Russell Crowe​. Making movies,
making songs and fightin’round the world! Every time we see Russell Crowe, he’s picking a fight
with someone.To the point in which he stalks his victims and then leaps out and assaults them.
Heneeds anger management training, to say the least... and the only thing worse than histemper
is his music. It’s so bad that his Tugboat sidekick, Tugger, shoots itself to stopthe pain
of listening.We hope you take voting seriously because ​Puff Daddy​​is next. Performing the
songVote or Die, ​he made a point of teaching Stan the importance of voting. That’s a goodthing
to teach a kid, but his use of violence and resorting to death threats was probablynot the
most law-abiding way to get a child interested in the political process.Next up is ​Rob Reiner​.
Being against the Tobacco industry may seem like a noblething... But Reiner’s need to impose his
will on other people appeals to Cartman, whichtells you all you need to know about
the guy... He tries to create phony propaganda and even makes Cartman suspicious because his henchmen
give Cartman a presumablypoisonous cupcake. All that mixed with his crusade against one
unhealthy thing whilebeing incredibly gluttonous and unhealthy in his own right... we don’t
feel bad whenCartman stabs him with a fork and deflates him into a bunch of goo.Next
we have the main faces of the sexual addiction story: ​Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby​.We give them
a very low spot for the fact that they encouraged a whole generation ofkids to place all of their
problems and fixations on an addiction in order to avoid beingattacked by the media or general
public. They had the mentality that “it can’t possibly bemy own fault” and so they sought
out other things to blame.Next on our list is the winner of Biggest Douche in the Universe,
​John Edward​. ​A fakepsychic, he pandered the lowest common denominator he could to trick people
intothinking he was the real deal. When Stan tried making a point about John’s abilitiesbeing
fabricated, he wound up being John’s competition instead, earning the man’sanger. Over and over
John insisted he wasn’t a douche or a fake, but his tactics spokefor themselves. The only
reason we aren’t giving him a lower ranking is because he diddoubt himself when in private,
and did show to have some concerns now that he wasbeing called out.Seeing as it’s technically
Randy, we had to give ​Lorde​​a low spot. Lorde is seen beingpicked on by a few other celebrities
when getting ready to perform, being picked on for“thinking she’s better than everyone else.”
We will give some credit that Randy actsbetter as Lorde than he does as himself. Or as Spiderman.
But his need to be loved andvalidated often leads to him making some bad choices as Lorde.
Including beinginappropriate on stage when concerned the performance was tanking.Next
on our list we’re placing ​Phil Collins​. ​In his appearance, he was manipulative andangry,
always seen clutching his Oscar as he roamed about the town. When he sawTimmy
join the Lords of the Underworld, he tried a few tactics to stop the band fromperforming,
from telling Timmy that the audience was just going to laugh at him forbeing handicapped
to trying to convince Skylar that Timmy was stealing the spotlight.But eventually the people
of South Park made it clear just where Phil could shove thatOscar.A very early celebrity character,
we have ​Kenny G​​next. He was shown as being one ofthe people to lead the children through
their recorder playing, but we give him a lowrank because of his interaction with the
Garrison family. Kenny G had been the onehired by Mr Garrison Senior to have relations with his son,
tricking the younger Garrisoninto believing his father had been the one to sneak
into his room. We see that Kenny was initially meant to be paid for the act,
but he just laughed and told the man to keephis money. Pretty shady and gross
stuff.Say what you want about him, but the man knows story structure. We have​​Mel Gibsonnext.
A pretty consistent character on the show, he is displayed as erratic and downrightinsane.
He chased Stan and Kenny for a few measly dollars and adorned war paint toface them. But we don’t
feel right about placing him lower because he was an asset tofiguring out Butters didn’t belong in
Imaginationland. That doesn’t excuse trying to run abus off the road filled with innocent people
though.Next is ​Snooki​.​ Seen during the invasion of Jersey, she was shown to be a parody ofGollum
from the Hobbit. Only a much more revolting creature that was aggressive withher sexuality,
even pushing it off onto a child, which is the main reason we place her solow on our list.
She was a horrible little thing that was only subdued when met but anequally aggressive force:
Kyle’s Jersey persona. The only reason we didn’t rank her anylower is because she’s more of an
animal or creature in the show and thus it’s difficult toapply human morality to her.One of
the earliest villains in the show, we have ​Barbara Striesand ​next for her formMecha
Streisand. Not to mention her torment of the boys in order to get the Triangle ofZinthar
and lashing out when her singing was insulted. When she takes the form ofMecha Streisand,
she only stops her ramange to sign an autograph for Kyle’s motherSheila before being defeated by
Japanese themed monsters.We had to include both ​George Lucas and Steven Spielberg​
on this list. And longtime fans will know exactly what episode brings them such a low ranking.
Theirtreatment of the Indiana Jones franchise and the trauma inflicted on not only our mainboys
but everyone else was a driving force to have the men finally taken down.
But it’shard to wipe away the memory of those unsavory scenes with poor Indiana
Jones.NextisthefaceofStupid,SpoiledWh*re:​ParisHilton​.​Whocouldforgetthisepisode?Itwasaneventfromstarttofinish.ParisbeinginSouthParkstartedawholechainofevents,rangingfromtheyounggirlsofSouthParkbeingencouragedtoactsluttytogetpopularityandeventryingtobuyButters,puttingthepoorboyinahorriblepredicament.Andthewh*re-offissomethingfanswilllikelynotforgetabout.Parisglamorizedtheideaofpartyingtoexcess,drinkinganddoingdrugsandthrowingtantrumstogetwhatshewanted.Specificallytoanaudienceofimpressionableyounggirls.Luckily,shemether
downfall at the hands of Mr Slave. Or at least...some body part of Mr Slave.
Buckle up, Buckeroo, The Bronze Medal of Evil goes to the vice president ​KaitlynJenner​.
She not only helps Mr Garrison rise to power, encouraging the man to becomea Trump parody, but
she has total disregard for anyone or anything. She’s selfish andlikes to use people, not even
batting an eye at running over pedestrians more than acouple of times through the show. Coupled
with her abrasive and crude personality,she’s not the best person to have hanging around.Tied
for The Silver Medal, we have ​Sadam and Osama ​. ​We have to mention Sadamas he was a key role
in not only a few episodes but in the first movie. But we alsocouldn’t exclude Osama bin
Laden as he was a very early appearance and came backagain to help with the Jersey invasion. Both
men were seen as cold and unforgiving,with Sadam even going a step further, manipulating Satan
himself. The two men arealso responsible for much of the world tragedy in the show’s fictional world
as they arein the real world.Taking our gold medal of evil we have ​Christopher Reeve​. ​While he had
played a heroat one point, he was anything but for the residents of South Park. When he arrives
intown to help promote stem cell research, he displays how he uses the science to healhimself.
In a rather grotesque way, with him seen feeding off of children. Reeve isgreedy and power
hungry and eats aborted fetuses, which really demonstrates aremarkable defiance of scientific
ethics.But what do you think? Who are the most good and evil South Park celebritycharacters?
