Pip would only speak twice more in the show’s history (as a Potential in “Professor Chaos,” and in “201,” where he gets stepped on and killed by Mecha-Streisand), but for one episode, he was the star (which is why this one of the show’s least aired installments, too). Pip stars in “Pip,” a comedic re-telling of Great Expectations, with certain South Park-style editorial adjustments, like Estella breaking the necks of dozens of poor bunnies. And by involve, I mean, he’s the only “original” character in the entire thing (minus narrator Malcolm McDowell, as “A British Person”). One of the oddest, and least liked, episodes of South Park involves a character that’s not even on the show anymore. The real star, after all, is YOU - or the literal talking piece of shit whose name is in the episode title. Yes, CKS appear, singing “Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel” with Gerald, Sheila, and Ike, but they’re in no way the star of the show.

With the exception of Kyle’s brief appearance as Tooth Decay in Mr. This Wednesday’s episode of South Park, “Royal Pudding,” did something that the show rarely does: pushing Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and, sometimes, Kenny, out of the story.
