** Cartman is a total {{narcissist}} and {{sociopath}} who discriminates probably against all possible groups and is also TheFriendNobodyLikes. He is very prone to InsaneTrollLogic but can also be very manipulative.

** How close the Boys are also fluctuates on the episode. They can range from being TrueCompanions who are firmly loyal to each other to actively screwing each other over for their own ends.

** Stan is prone to having depressive episodes, such as going goth after Wendy broke up with him in "Raisins", or turning to whiskey to cope with his newfound cynicism in "Ass Burgers." His relatives include an impulsive and childish father, an aggressive and violent older sister, a suicidal and forgetful grandfather, and a jingoistic uncle. He has to put up with townspeople, friends, and classmates with ludicrous and often demented trains of thought that clash with his more passive personality. Additionally, despite Kenny's infamously perverted attitude, Stan has to deal with the downsides of romance the most out of the four boys due to his on-and-off relationship with Wendy.
** Kyle deals with daily antisemitic bigotry from Cartman in addition to the latter's ridiculous ploys to humiliate him. His adopted little brother (who's in kindergarten) went through "Canadian puberty" in "Taming Strange" and had a relationship with his teacher in "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy." He has a melodramatic and overprotective mother that went to war with said brother's home country because of a vulgar movie, a father that viciously trolls women on the Internet during his free time, and an extremely [[JewishComplaining stereotypically]] [[JewishAndNerdy Jewish]] cousin that occasionally visits the Broflovskis. Stan, and probably Kenny, is the only person close to Kyle without a toxic need to embarrass him.

** Kenny is part of South Park's poorest family, which consists of his alcoholic parents that always fight and abuse each other, his apparently equally alcholic older brother, and a little sister that he is immensely protective of. His immortality doesn't prevent him from feeling pain when he dies, and to make things worse, no one remembers his deaths. Unlike the other kids, Kenny's superhero persona is not a game and he genuinely tries using his superpower to his advantage for his vigilante work, meaning that Kenny, as Mysterion, is quite possibly one of the few competent "authority figures" in South Park, making the boy's life even more stressful.

** Kyle would be the "oldest son". He is the most mature and responsible after Stan and finds himself on an equal level with him the most of the time. He is usually the one to assists Stan and he is likely to take charge when the latter is absent or incapacitated (though it is particularly hard for him to work with Cartman). Kyle can also be quite protective and supportive of Stan at times. However, he has a hell of a temper, not helped by his antagonism towards Cartman, which causes him to loose control usually resulting in Stan stepping in to calm him down. There are also instances of Stan scolding Kyle for wrong actions and offering him emotional support.
** Cartman would be the "unfavorite", TheFriendNobodyLikes. While Stan doesn't antagonize him as much as Kyle, he still clearly dislikes him and isn't usually keen on helping him. However, there have been times when Stan showed genuine empathy towards Cartman and the latter respects him somehow.
** Kenny would be the BabyOfTheBunch. While he isn't weak or innocent, he is the youngest and the most quiet. Unlike Kyle, Kenny for the most part just goes along with the plan without offering his ideas. While Kyle is Stan's best friend, Stan seems more watchful towards Kenny (i.e. offering advice and instructions more often, and doing helpful gestures like putting a coat on his back once, something he never did for Kyle) and he has risked his life for Kenny multiple times, similarly to how he has done it for Kyle.In fact, all the boys had been caring towards Kenny on occasion.

* NeverBareheaded: Except for Cartman (who is frequently seen without his hat) they almost never take off their hats. In Kyle's case, it's to hide a really embarrassing Jewfro. Kenny never took off his hood, so no-one knew what he looked like until he finally took it off in the movie.

* VocalDissonance: Despite being 8 years old (currently 10) at the beginning of the series, the boys have always had a more pubescent inflection to their voices making them sound 12 or 13. Stan, Kyle, and Cartman in particular have gotten deeper in the more recent seasons, making them sound like older teenagers than preteen boys.

However, he has a hell of a temper, not helped by his antagonism towards Cartman, which causes him to loose control usually resulting in Stan stepping in to calm him down. He also has moments of trying to hard to fit in and/or being too emotionally needy, like in "You have 0 Friends" when he asked Stan to take care of his farm on Facebook, similarly to how a little kid would do to their parent. Stan has also

** [[TheLeader Stan]] is TheEveryman and the show's biggest OnlySaneMan, but he has plenty of NotSoAboveItAll moments. He is the most sensitive from the group and used to be prone to vomit out of stress when meeting his crush. He is also a KnightInSourArmour and an UnfazedEveryman.

* PrivilegeMakesYouEvil: Mainline Kenny is dirt poor and a good kid, but his EvilCounterpart can afford to buy a new car.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Evil Cartman is outright helpful. Evil Stan and Kyle meanwhile don't have any greater ambition than to drag Evil Cartman back home.

* GamerChick: Panderverse Cartman shares her prime counterpart's love of video games, and similarly [[SkewedPriorities puts playing]] VideoGame/BaldersGateIII above anything else going on.
