This blog post is different than the others have been so far because I wanted to write about a TV character who we could all relate to and here he is, hope you enjoy it. “Butters” Stotch is one of the most relatable characters in South Park and he represents a never-ending innocence, unlike every other character in the show. Butters is a typical happy-go-lucky child and that’s relatable because we were all once like that and in some ways Butters also represents our inner child.
Butters is the typical good natured, cheerful, optimistic child. Butters never swears he uses other phrases such as “oh hamburgers” because he is always anxious that he will get in trouble if he does anything that he sees as even remotely wrong. We can relate to this because when we were younger we would never swear out of fear that we would get in trouble. Butters is always cheerful and a happy child who just loves life and enjoys every minute of it, which we all were. Butters is extremely optimistic, the littlest things in life excite him such as going to eat at a restaurant. All kids get really excited and optimistic from the simple things, which is why it is so easy to relate Butters.
Butters has a huge imagination and all of his playtime activities consist of characters he has created for himself or putting himself into unique places where he can have fun. Butters creates characters for himself such as Inspector Butters, Big Rig Butters, Professor Chaos and many other characters. Butters also likes to sing and make up songs when he is having fun or doing anything.
This is relatable to us because we have all come up with our own characters when we were having our playtime and put ourselves in unique situations. Even as we get older we often use our imagination to see ourselves in situations we are not normally in. We can all relate to Butters because no matter what age we are, we always using our imaginations in unique ways.
Butters is relatable to us because when we see him using his imagination or see how optimistic he is, it reminds of when we were younger and also Butters represents our inner child who is innocent and good natured, which is why he is such a great character.
