  • Whenever Kenny is killed, Stan and Kyle share the exchange: "Oh My God, They Killed Kenny!" "You Bastards!" In one episode, the two characters used this exchange to locate each other. Many episodes subvert the exchange in other ways.
    • "You know what? I learned something today!" Usually said by one of them to begin summarizing the episode's Anvilicious Aesop. Subverted in "Chinpokomon" when Stan makes up a new moral to stop Kyle from bombing Pearl Harbor. "You know what? I learned something... just now."
    • Stan often says "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here!"
  • Eric Cartman has a number of catchphrases, including,
    • "I want cheesy poofs!" was popular in early seasons.
    • "I'm not fat, I'm big-boned!" was also popular in the early seasons.
    • "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" Parodied in the Phonics Monkey episode, when he says, "Screw you guys, I'm gonna go be home-schooled."
    • "I'll kick you in the nuts!"
    • "I hate you guys."
    • "I hate you, Kenny."
    • "You black asshole!"
    • "You guys! Seriously!" In fact, whenever Cartman would normally say "serious", he says "seriously" instead, such as "Stop it! I'm seriously!"
    • "Respect my authoritah!"
    • "But moooooooooooooom!"
    • "No, kitty! That's a bad kitty!"
    • His most recent catch phrase is "'The fuck is this?" when disappointed by something.
    • "Goddamn it!" with cocking head and squinted eyes.
  • Kenny has "WOO-HOO!", almost always after experiencing something sexual.
  • Chef: "Hello, children!" Like the Cartman quote above, Chef always says "children" even if he is talking to or about a single child.
  • Mr. Macky: "Mmmkay?" Made the subject of a song in the movie.
  • Butters:
    • "Awww, hamburgers!"
    • "Fellas! FELLAS!"
    • In "Butters' Bottom Bitch", he learns a new one off the pimps, with it becoming increasingly natural for him to say...
    Butters: "Do you know what I am saying?"
  • Butters' father Stephen has "You're grounded, mister!" and "BUTTERS!"
  • Sheila Broflovski: "What what WHAT?!"
  • Jimmy: "Wow, what a terrific audience!" as well as ending many sentences with "very much."

  • Mrs. Crabtree: "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?" as well as “SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!!”
  • Towlie: "Always remember to bring your towel!" and "You wanna get high?"
  • Saddam Houssein: "Relax, guy! Take a rest!"
  • "They took our jobs!" by any redneck, which degrades as they repeat it.
