The Boys (South Park)

Stan Marsh is one of main characters of the adult animated television series, South Park, along with Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick. He is the overall main protagonist of the South Park franchise, and is voiced by Trey Parker.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Stan is one of the most iconic South Park characters besides the other members of the boys.
 * 2) As with almost all South Park characters, his design is cute.
 * 3) Out of the boys, he is the most tender out of them.
 * 4) Stan is known to be an animal lover.
 * 5) He is very moral and understanding, similarly to Kyle; despite it being more common for the latter doing it. He is also able to sympathize with others.
 * 6) His relationship with Wendy Testaburger is adorable.
 * 7) Stan's alter-ego known as Toolshed is very cool.
 * 8) He serves as the "straight-man" and pretty much the most normal character of the show.
 * 9) Like his father Randy, Trey Parker does a great job voicing him.
 * 10) * He's also based on his actor too.
 * 11) His iconic quote: "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!"

The Bad Qualities

 * 1) Although Stan is friendly and kind-hearted, he becomes quite selfish or petty when things don't go the way they are and when something bad happens to him.
 * 2) Stan can often get depressed, especially when Wendy Testaburger broke up with him thrice; even though on one of the times; specifically in Season 20, it wasn't him, but rather Gerald Broflovski.
 * 3) * However, they did finally reunite again in the video game South Park: The Fractured But Whole where they got back together.
 * 4) Various bad things that happen to him are actually his fault.
 * 5) On more than one occasion, he displays a miserable attitude or personality.
 * 6) He is literally the same person as Kyle.
