Why He Rocks

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.
