Compare & Contrast: Pip Pirrup & Butters Stotch

There’s a story that’s been spread around the South Park fandom for a very long time, in which it’s argued that due to Pip’s unpopularity among the audience and creators alike, Butters replaced Pip and his role in the show. But did he really take over his role or is this just one fanon game of telephone?

Pip’s role, ever since the beginning of the show, was to be severely abused and hated by everyone, adults and strangers alike. He’s well-spoken and emotionally mature for his age, but at the same time too awkward to even be seen in public with, and whenever he speaks his “punchable” personality is enough to cause a scene. His submissiveness and passive ways aren’t seen as endearing, and seemingly every aspect of him, from his mismatched clothes to his voice was designed to induce a cringeworthy reaction from the cast. His only usefulness is that everybody can take his anger out on him however they want with no consequences at all. No adult cares about him and he’s an orphan, so he can’t snitch to anyone.

Butters on the other hand, isn’t universally hated. Sure he’s seen as lame by the rest, but Kyle likes him enough to invite him to Casa Bonita and even in Awesome-O Cartman was the only one dead set on pranking him.

That’s not to say he’s not bullied at all during this era, he did start out as a Melvin at first and does get picked on a lot in seasons 3-7, but he’s not as low on the social ladder as Pip is, since he practically has his own level at the bottom of the barrel.

An example of this is in Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub, where Stan, Dougie and Butters all visibly interact with the media and police in some way, but Pip is delegated to doing behind the scenes work, once again highlighting how much of a stigma everyone has around him, that even around others like himself, it’s best to not have him talk or else the plan might backfire from the possible awkwardness that might ensue.

Even if he was called a “Melvin” by Stan, it’s clear that his bullying is never as severe as Pip’s. While Pip’s abuse relies on social isolation, physical beatings, humiliation and life risking situations, Butters’ bullying is more about manipulating, drifting, pranking and taking advantage of his gullibility to make him go along with a plan, even if he’s initially cautious about it.

To put it into perspective, the first time Butters bled was 5 seasons after his debut. The first time Pip bled was in his first appearance.

These scenes almost serve as parallels to each other to highlight how different these two are in terms of their roles, personality and how the rest view them.

In the former, the main 4 convince Pip to go down the slide, he cracks his head open and bleeds profusely. They proceed to laugh at him and even tell him to do it again to get hurt more for their entertainment while Pip runs to the nurse’s office.

In the latter, Butters convinces the main 4 to play with him, Kenny accidentally throws a ninja star into his Butters’ eye and he bleeds profusely. They instantly stop their playtime to check on Butters’ wellbeing while Butters pleads to go to the hospital.

It’s clear from this how unaccustomed Butters is to such an injury and much the main 4 value Butters as a person and friend, even if they don’t want to admit it. On the flipside it’s evident that Pip is seen as nothing more than entertainment for the boys and how much he’s used to being treated this way since he barely reacts to the injury.

Other scenes that serve to differentiate the two is in Hooked on Monkey Phonics and Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime. Both Butters and Pip are featured in the episodes, and in the latter act like a matching set but react differently, like when at the boys losing the match against the girls(Butters’ focuses on losing to women while Pip’s is a more general statement).

In both episodes Pip is given the usual physical abuse treatment even when he imitates the others to fit in or tries standing up for himself, while Butters isn’t mocked at all and is more antagonistic, strapping Mark to a bench and calling Clyde the second fattest kid. Unlike Pip, Butters rotates from being bullied to doing the bullying since that’s how South Park Elementary School’s society functions.

For the last scene to compare and contrast, in Professor Chaos Butters and Pip are both featured and devalued by the boys.

Butters’ scene is set in the privacy of Cartman’s room, nobody else is there except for the Stan,Kyle, Cartman and Butters. The Scamps fire Butters for being too lame, but still apologize for things going this way as Butters sadly leaves, with the punchline being his outlandish reaction afterwards.

Pip’s scene is set publicly, in Denver no less. While it already starts awkwardly by Pip clapping instead of cheering like the rest, it’s when he asks for tea at a baseball game that all eyes lock on to him in anger or shock. After Pip doubles down asking for crumpets Cartman angrily tells him to go away with some people still looking at him, while he leaves in confusion at what he did wrong. Coincidentally, immediately after Pip leaves, Butters shows up to hijack the game.

In all these examples, Butters and Pip both act and react in separate ways and even in bullying scenes the punchlines aren’t the same. By late season 8 Butters starts to grow more and more to the point that by season 14 the nerdiness is just a quirk that’s slowly fading, while Pip gets his last appearance by being Barbra Streisand’s punching bag and dying in the process.

So if Pip is superficially similar but inwardly different than Butters, why did Trey and Matt stop using him? Simple, they just got bored of him like they did with Dr. Mephesto and Mrs. Crabtree.

In the creator commentary for Two Guys Naked in a Hot tub they say they enjoy writing Butters more but that’s understandable, one is an original character they created while the other is a direct parody that’s more creatively limited, not due to being “empty” but his lack of parents and inability to make fun of others limit a lot of potential that could be done in later South Park episodes that focus more on the parents or aren’t afraid of making characters mean spirited for the sake of the plot.

As a bonus, here's some minor details that are worth mentioning:

While they’re both blond, geeky and voiced by Matt Stone, Pip and Butters’ jackets are dark red and turquoise respectively, which are direct opposites on the color wheel.

Their hairstyles also indicate their different personality traits as Pip’s long and straight hair emphasizes his lameness and softness compared to the rest while Butters’ short and spiky hair indicates he has more of a backbone compared to his fellow Melvin.

Finally, while(in earlier seasons) Butters’ accent is stereotypically southern and his speech is drawn out, Pip’s accent is stereotypically British and his speech is concise.

Because they won’t leave my head & I love them

-As the ruler of Hell, Damien has a lot on his plate & is working near constantly. He’ll be up all day & night torturing souls, overseeing events, dealing with Heavenly representatives, doing a lot of paperwork for shit even he doesn’t know why it exists, things like that. Point is, he’s exhausted at the end of the day. But after his father died, he started to take his responsibilities a lot more seriously, & has the habit of working himself late into the night. On days that he’s in his study doing work, Pip will bring him food throughout the day & provide words (& hugs) of encouragement, & always offers to help wherever he can. Some nights the demon works very late, & Pip will either 1. cover him with a blanket & slip a pillow under his head if Damien’s fallen asleep at his desk, or 2. the Brit will convince him to come to bed if he’s still awake so he can get some proper rest. “The desk can’t possibly be comfortable, dear. Come to bed, won’t you? You’ll feel much more rested on the morrow, I’m sure of it.”

-I’ve had this mental image in my head for a good two weeks now, of Damien looking absolutely intimidating traversing through Hell, flames licking his boots as he walks & smoke billowing ominously behind him. He wears a scowl on his face the entire time. No one dares to cross his path, fearing his wrath, having seen what he’s capable of. Where’s the demon headed? Why, home of course! As soon as he passes the threshold of their front door, he checks to make sure it’s closed, & looks side-to-side to make sure the windows are clear. Once he’s certain he’s in the clear, this tough-guy act drops completely, a grin stretching his features as he calls out “Oh, Phillip! I’m home honey!!!”, and not ten seconds later is he greeted by the blond in the foyer, and pulls him into the biggest bear hug & spins him around before nuzzling the top of his head with his chin. He pulls back to look the Brit in the eyes & has the biggest, dopiest, love-struck smile on his face, absolutely smitten that he gets to come home to this bliss. (If anyone mentions how he also lets out a low demonic purr during this, he denies it to the very end. Pip, of course, makes a comment on it, but he’s the only one allowed to do so).

-Set after Eisoptrophobia, Pip’s doing better in accepting his burn scars, but still wears shirts to bed on most nights. When they’re asleep in bed -Damien being the big spoon- if the demon wakes up & notices that Pip’s shirt had ridden up slightly during the night, he’ll gently lower it back down over the Brit, covering him up. He tries his best not to wake him, but if he does, he receives a smile & a sleepy “thank you” before the blond falls back asleep. On days where Pip’s feeling confident & doesn’t wear a shirt to bed, Damien will be sure to remind him that “your body is beautiful, darling” & “I wouldn’t have you any other way”. Some nights he goes without a top completely, where others he will put a shirt on in the middle of the night. Damien knows that Pip is still insecure about his body & is working through overcoming it, & he tries to be as supportive as he can possibly be. Pip appreciates this immensely.

-They slow-dance in their kitchen or living room to the oldies playing on the gramophone during sunset. You cannot take this away from me. Ever. Never ever ever. Ever.

-Pip prefers to be clean-shaven, but he loves Damien’s facial hair. His goatee & beard are some of Pip’s favorite features of his.
