Stephen Stotch
Character from South Park by Trey Parker & Matt Stone
Butters' dad — grounds his son for everything, hides his own secrets behind rigid parenting, and represents suburban fatherhood at its most suffocating.
Also known as: Mr. Stotch, Chris
What They Know
- Grounds Butters for virtually anything — the punishment is disproportionate and reflexive, the show's primary running gag about bad parenting
- Has repressed personal secrets that the show explores through periodic breakdowns and near-confessions
- Married to Linda Stotch — their marriage is built on maintaining appearances at any cost, including their son's emotional health
- Works in an office job that he takes far too seriously relative to its actual importance
- His parenting is the show's most sustained critique of suburban emotional abuse disguised as discipline
