  • I think we all know the answer.
    And is it just me or does Randy's McDonald's order sound like Trey Parker just wrote down his own? The documentary did say he eats McDonald's to get over writer's block

      Gerald trolls because he likes seeing the chaos unfold, not even taking to account that his actions caused the kids to turn on one another.
      I actually would like to see an episode where Gerald's trolling came back to haunt him as a commentary of how actors, politicians and other celebrities have their internet history, from years ago be brought back and the hate falls on the commenter

He genuinely could not care less about his son in the slightest. And for Jimmy's Dad, he views Jimmy as really nothing but something god used to get revenge against him for bullying crippled kids in high school/college

      Yet the show did show that despite competition, the cable company made no effort to changing so its just karmic for the cable jerks

    I'd say Cartman's father, Jack Tenorman, is a contender. Not only did he cheat on his wife whom he had a child with, he also didn't step up and be a father to Cartman. In fact, he kept the whole thing secret because the Denver Broncos were having a really good year. In a way, Jack's absence is partially why Cartman turned out how he did. So Jack is here because he could've stopped Eric Cartman from becoming the most evil child ever.
    How fitting that Jack's illegitimate son ended up turning him into chilli without even knowing that he's his father.

    I mean Butter's dad tried to help his mom cover up what they thought was his murder, punishes him for the slightest infractions, and had a bet with his wife on their son's sexual orientation. And he still isn't the worst. The worst is Nathan's father. Both he and his wife understand perfectly everything their child says and yet they gaslight him constantly. They send him to a camp every summer that he hates so they can get away from him and go places on their own. Their neglect of a child with a disability has caused Nathan to become an evil bastard who has tried to literally wipe out humanity so that only ads are the dominant species. They are proving the notion that villains are not born, they are made. Instead of being loving parents, they treat him like he's stupid. His mom even locks him in his room at night.

    Worst Dad is definitely Butter's dad. He constantly grounds Butter's for the dumbest reasons and always shows such little care for Butters when it's needed. Best Dad in South Park I think would be Tolkein's Dad. He doesn't involve himself witht the Adult's stupidity as much. He is able to financially support his family without trouble. He actually treats his son the best out of all of the South Park Dads.

  • @jshway7827
    @jshway7827 Рік тому +190

    I super disagree with some of these placements. Kenny's dad is a deadbeat, physically abusive, broke, alcoholic, drug abusing dad who forces his kid to be a parent to his little sister. They seemingly know their kid is dying and being reborn frequently and don't even seem to care. He is absolutely the worst dad in the show.
    Butters dad is almost as bad, being incredibly mentally abusive, controlling, gaslighting, hypocritical, and strict. It's pretty close, but he at least can provide for his kid and has good intentions. When he thinks Butters died in the Margarine episode he was incredibly broken up about it, and he at least can acknowledge when he is wrong when push comes to shove, for what it amounts to. He killed a woman to feed to what he thought was his zombie son, that is dedication, which is more than can be said about Kenny's.
    Randy is moronic, selfish, and childish. He often puts his own goals before considering how he drags his family along (buying a blockbuster, moving to the farm), but he has more good will than the other two. Whenever Stan needs him he will always be there, whenever he comes up with his schemes he still (incorrectly) thinks its best for his family, and despite the friction in their relationship Stan will very often go to Randy for help because he knows that his father will help him.
    Gerald is the most normal and well adjusted dad by a mile. He is your typical stable, supportive, boring father for his kids. He tries his best for Kyle and Ike, and until the troll trace episode never seems to stray from that archetype. His trolling escapades have little to do with his parenting and it seemed like a phase perhaps due to his boredom with his daily life that he justified in his own mind. Putting him below the rest due to that alone seems bizarre.

      I agree with your ranking and reasoning behind it. I think that the season where he becomes a troll doesn't truly represent the characters anyway, and it's odd to put Gerald down because of something that has little to do with his parenting.
      He is impulsive (dolphin), has an air of superiority (electric car and yelp), abuses the law (cat ban), and is by no means a great person, but I think he's still the best dad ranked, followed by Randy. A dubious honor as the competition for best dad is lacking 😅 Though I'd say PC Principal or Token's dad seem to be the best, though not included here.
      Also, unrelated but it's tragic Butters doesn't have better parents.

    To continue further on Butters’ grandma being the cause of Stephen/Chris’ grounding, in South Park The Fractured but Whole when the town is out partying at night you can see Stephen/Chris having a nightmare about his mother grounding him, then running and shouting “You can’t ground what you can’t catch!”

    Seeing this video I can say with confidence that Butters' dad is by far the worst father in South Park, if not one of the most despicable persons in the series. I personally know someone very close to me which both parents are exactly like Butters' and they make their life absolutely miserable. Absurd out of proportion punishments and narcissistic to the core, I didn't understood how much Butters suffers in their hands when I was younger, but knowing it personally now I can affirm that they are absolute trash human beings.

    Technically Liane should be on this list. Maybe after Randy for enabling Cartman for so long.
    If youre wondering why shes a hermaphrodite. In s2 its stated that shes technically the father. Got another women pregnant. Jack Tenorman is stated to be the father so it might have been retconned. But in later episodes he draws a female body part with balls and thinks women have balls. So its assumed that Liane is the reason.

    Randy is not "cosplaying as Lorde." He literally *is* Lorde. All those albums, concerts, interviews, it was all Randy the whole time. It's just that no one notices it is him. As for Shelley, she had previously had an adult boyfriend (the lead singer from Timmy's band) with whom she almost ended up going all the way. Stan had to stop it. So she does have a history of inappropriate behavior with boys, mainly because she is very self conscious, has self esteem issues, is neglected by her parents, and is thus vulnerable when she is shown any attention at all.

He gives his son...METH and he forces him to rely on it to 'calm down' or whatever and completely messes Tweek up for life because of it. Tweek probably already had anxiety, but that much coffee AND meth probably doesn't help him any! He doesn't try to understand his son's feelings AT all and only supports his relationship with Craig to appear tolerant and 'woke' so that people will buy his coffee. He's probably definitely not as bad as these other dads (cuz he gets zero time on screen) on this list but MY god he has ZERO good qualities compared to them though.

    Butters dad is the worst he grounds butters for every thing and anything

  • @TheSebasMaster
    @TheSebasMaster Рік тому +9

    gerald is probably the best out of the 4. besides the whole troll arc in season 20 he provided for his family, gives kyle advice, and acts like a legitimate father
    randy is probably the second best, since he also does try to comfort to his son in episodes like bebes boobs destroy society. the only thing that places gerald above randy is that randy tends to much stupider things, therefore endangering his family and not caring for them at all, like tegridy for example
    while we haven’t seen that much of stuart, from what we can tell he’s a deadbeat alcoholic, unable to provide for his family, of which consists of 3 kids. however, he does try to be a good father and take care of his kids, in episodes like help my teenager hates me
    so father wise, stephen is the worst. he grounds butters all the time to the point where butters wanted to stay in jail instead of going home. he also went to those late night gay places without telling the rest of his family, driving butters and especially linda over the deep end
    so honestly the concrete ranking (from ascending order to descending order) for this is:
    1. gerald
    2. randy
    3. stuart
    4. stephen
    however, if we’re including side characters now. there’s really only 4 side characters whose fathers have had a decent amount of screen time for us to dissect them, those being:
    thomas tucker (craig’s dad)
    richard tweak (tweek’s dad)
    steve black (tolkien’s dad)
    ryan valmer (jimmy’s dad)
    starting with thomas, we can see in episodes like and tweek vs craig that thomas is pretty apathetic that craig is getting into a fight, and in tweek x craig, he is not a fan of his son and tweeks relationship
    however, at least he didn’t try to exploit said relationship, which richard tweak attempted to do. besides exploiting his own son, he also puts drugs in his sons coffee, causing his erratic behavior, and tried pushing his beliefs in tweek’s school essay for his own gain, which even his wife disagreed with him on that scenario
    steve black is probably the best father in all of south park. he provides for his family, being a lawyer and then a weed dealer, letting stan, tolkien, and a bunch of other kids help him in his streaming service voluntarily, unlike richard tweak. he also comforts his son in episodes like the return of the fellowship of the ring to the two towers, in which when his son sees the inappropriate dvd, both him and his wife attempt to explain things and be genuinely good parents
    ryan valmer has also been shown to be a pretty good father, first being concerned with jimmy’s involvement with the crips in krazy kripples. he is also concerned in up the down steroid, making sure jimmy isn’t doing sus things and caring about jimmy and his girlfriend’s relationship
    so overall, when it comes to side characters (from ascending to descending) the concrete ranking is:
    1. steve
    2. ryan
    3. thomas
    4. richard
    and when it comes to every character mentioned here, the concrete ranking is:
    1. steve
    2. ryan
    3. gerald
    4. randy
    5. thomas
    6. stuart
    7. richard
    8. stephen
