Life and History
Butters has been referred to in scripts as "Puff Puff" and "Swanson" - Stan refers to him bởi this name in the opening scene of the season two episode "Conjoined Fetus Lady". When Butters spoke in the early episodes, however, his voice was dramatically different from the stuttering Southern accent he has now. Butters was renamed and properly introduced in the season three episode "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" alongside Pip and Dougie stuck in a basement during a Meteor vòi hoa sen Party. He was seen sporadically from season three through five, going from social pariah in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" to mean-spirited bully in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" (which seems out of character for Butters, but is not entirely unlikely for an emotionally abused child).
