YMMV / Ask The Main Four

• Anti-Climax Boss: Trent Boyett. He gets stabbed and shot repeatedly (by Cartman and Kyle, respectively), all in his second appearance.
• Arc Fatigue: The second story arc has suffered from this due to the blog's lack of activity throughout 2016. After more inactivity during the third arc, the administrator of the blog has decided to call it quits.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: While the blog was best known for being interactive with select characters from the show, there are several other moments that people might know, such as:
  • A picture of Rebecca Cotswolds in a bra and panties. She goes on to reappear later on in the blog, in the background where a shirtless Kenny is blazing it up (and his leg censoring her nudity, sadly).
  • Two separate instances where the Main Four are shirtless for a height/body comparison.
  • Several instances where Stan is shirtless.
  • Bebe Stevens wearing a revealing dress when she, Kyle, Stan, Wendy, Kenny and Butters are spending time with each other in a converted bar. A "peer" points this out, with an offended Bebe pointing out that she literally cannot help her breasts brushing up against somebody.
  • Apart from her in a bathing suit on Kyle's birthday (along with Wendy), there's also her in a revealing outfit and putting the moves on Kyle (he goes on to rebuff her advances on account of him realizing that he's gay).
  • Kyle and Cartman kissing for the first time, followed by another scene where they make out and grind. This is then followed by three separate off-screen sex scenes involving the two.
• Jerkass Woobie: Eric Cartman, as you know. He does come across as an asshole, but considering what he went through before and during the blog, you cannot help but to feel for him.
• Moe: Butters, of course. Tweek is also sort of this, if you can look past his eyebags and his slightly scratched-up face.
  • Clyde can also count during his part on answering questions, on account of his wide, innocent-looking eyes.
• Narm: The sound effects in some off-screen posts can easily ruin the mood for some people, especially the NSFW posts, which easily distracts you from the eroticism.
  • The second arc is full of it, and it's quite distracting, seeing as it is supposed to be completely serious.
    • When Butters asks the boys if they've seen Kenny anywhere, and worries about him, he's wearing a frilly shirt.◊ Not the best choice.◊
    • Red Tucker's over-the-top, cliched Alpha Bitch role. While we're at it, let's throw in the girls' reactions to what she says (especially Annie Knitt's infamous "My God, Red, yaas!" moment), and a couple of their reactions to what Stan says to Red.
    • When Wendy talks to Stan in the school cafeteria to let him know that the school is spreading awareness for finding Kenny, the lunch menu in the first panel has a list of items... with the last one reading "dick". That's probably the biggest offender in the arc.
    • In a similar fashion, when Trent corners Kyle in the bathroom, there is a paper towel dispenser with graffiti reading "FUCK YOU" behind Kyle during his Oh, Crap! moment. Subtle.
    • Butters' Cluster F-Bomb-laden, scathing rant towards Stan over the phone. Because even the real Butters wouldn't swear that much, it's pretty obvious that the author went too overboard on this, interpretation or not.
    • The Trauma Conga Line that has plagued the Main Five in the second arc. Kenny gets murdered by Trent; Butters becomes a broken, hysterical mess looking for him and ends up getting chloroformed by Cartman, who ends up getting possibly murdered by Trent; the latter cuts Kyle's arm open and breaks his leg; and Stan gets a Joe Pesci-esque tongue-lashing from Butters over the phone.
    • Cartman's overly happy face that pops up a few times, from introducing the peers to Token to ask him question, to announcing that he's going to read a fanfic sent to him by a peer. And then there the very first post of the third arc, where he does this while giving the finger to the camera. It's so unnecessarily over-the-top that the actual Cartman would think that's too much, and that's saying something.
    • Following the above, there's also Cartman's slide show on how he got abducted and tortured by Trent, and then slipped from his crutches and stabs him as Kyle shoots him dead... with all of this drawn in his laughably crap drawing. The slide show is also titled "HE'S [Trent] FUCKING DEAD, SON!" Though, this straddles the line between this trope and Bathos because the boys had just emerged from a life-threatening situation and, like Stan later asks him, it would've been easier if Cartman told the story (with the assistance of flashback panels) or at least have them re-enact the whole thing rather than have it crudely drawn and take some liberties (such as Cartman making himself into a superhero while Kyle fawns over him). At this point, you're convinced that this blog will never be the same again.
    • Ike's debaucherous personality when he has his time to answer questions. Considering he's highly intelligent (and therefore not really the one to be prone to that type of behavior), this comes off as extremely out-of-character for him, and a glaring example of Sibyl's questionably poor writing and characterization skills.
• One-Scene Wonder: The boys' fathers (minus Cartman's deceased father Jack Tenorman, who would later appear in a photo of him and Liane Cartman during Arc 3), the rest of the Broflovski family (including Kyle's cousin Kyle Schwartz; all depicted in a photo), Craig Tucker, Tweek Tweak, Liane Cartman, and Clyde Donovan in the first arc; the girls' group (led by Red Tucker), Token Black, Stan and Kenny's mothers (photo depicted), Jimmy Valmer, and Sergeant Yates in the second arc; so far, Samantha Dunskin (AKA the queef girl from the episode "Eat, Pray, Queef") in the third arc.
• Shocking Moments: Several, including, but not limited to:
  • Butters punching Cartman after the latter screamed in his face about unintentially revealing his private exploits on Tumblr.
  • Kenny's disemboweled, rat-riddled corpse in his locker.
  • The reveal that is was Trent who murdered him.
  • Trent confronting Kyle in the bathroom to kill him. After Kyle gets his arm sliced by him, he kicks the absolute hell out of him, and is stopped when Trent breaks his leg.
  • After Kyle finds out the location of Cartman's phone (and by extension Trent, since he has it), he grabs a gun and is about to head out to fill him with lead, despite his injury. Stan decides to shove his crippled best friend to the ground to grab his gun and his phone and head out of the bunker to get the job done himself.
  • Kyle shooting up Trent.
• Squick: The climaxes of the two NSFW posts (so to speak). The first post involves Cartman choking on Kyle's cum after performing fellatio on him, and then licking the remnants off his penis (though some people would think otherwise about that). The second one involves Kyle cumming all over Cartman's shirt after the latter has anal missionary with him—the author even includes a panel of that aftermath. Thankfully, the third post doesn't have that sort of climax.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Considering what happened to the boys in Arc 2, you'd think that there'd be a couple to a few posts showing their family's extreme concerns about them, especially when Kyle gets his arm slashed open and leg broken by Trent, and especially when Cartman gets abducted by Trent. None of that happens (instead, their concerns are explained by the characters) and it feels rather disrespectful and unfair for them to not be briefly focused upon.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley: Kyle Schwartz, as seen in the Broflovski's Hanukkah photo. He looks dead-eyed and his overbite is realistically detailed enough to become a bit unsettling.
• The Woobie: Butters, unsurprisingly enough. Dear God, this kid. Apart from getting yelled at by Cartman for unintentionally revealing his private exploits while he justifies his actions, there's also the huge fact that he lost his boyfriend to a psychopathic juvenile hall escapee. You feel like you just want to do nothing but comfort him. After Kenny breaks up with him, you'd likely want to date him just to try to make him feel better.
  • Tweek Tweak. He is recovering from a crystal meth addiction (remember the implication in South Park: The Stick of Truth, where the coffee that Tweek drinks is laced with the drug?) and it's depressingly clear in his appearance while answering questions from the peers. He has dark circle under his eyes, a couple of scratches on his faces caused by scratching himself due to the meth giving him the "crawling in his skin" symptoms (he's also wearing gloves to prevent himself from harming himself further), and he's looking at the camera with light blue Puppy-Dog Eyes, attempting to smile. It's pretty harrowing to see him like that.
