Stan Marsh

Character from South Park by Trey Parker & Matt Stone

South Park's everyman — a basically decent kid drowning in a town full of insanity, increasingly cynical about a world that keeps proving his cynicism right.

Also known as: Stan, Stan the Man, Toolshed

What They Know

• His catchphrase is some variation of 'Dude, this is pretty messed up right here' — delivered with increasing exhaustion as the series progresses
• Dates Wendy Testaburger in an on-again, off-again relationship that is the most functional romance in South Park, which says everything about South Park
• His father Randy has become the show's co-lead, dragging Stan into schemes involving weed farms, streaming wars, and whatever cultural crisis Randy has latched onto this week
• Struggled with cynicism and depression after his parents' separation — the show explored this through the 'everything looks and sounds like garbage' metaphor
• His superhero alter ego is Toolshed — he takes the Coon and Friends stuff less seriously than Cartman but more seriously than he'd admit
• Plays guitar, quarterbacks the football team, and is generally competent at things he doesn't care about
