Butter is misdiagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. Season 15 Episode 6. I do not own any rights to this and have posted this for educational purposes.
Not just imaginative kids, when i was young i was one of the students in my class with the best qualifications, but i was really quiet and i didn't talk a lot (because a lot of people in my class were just dumb jerks that thought they were the bosses of the school) and because of that they sent me 4 times to the school psychologist, and gave me a lot of pills, finally my mom started to get tired of this and sent me to a normal psychologist that said that i was just really quiet but i didn't have a trouble or problem. (My original language is spanish so sorry if i said something wrong).
Me too. That and "I'm now speaking to the person known as Inspector Butters" Just the mental image it gives of someone asking to speak to a childs game he plays by himself is hilarious.
He's the most decent person on the show, but he also has a weak spot for Cartman's shenanigans and can be sucked into Cartman's scheme and become kind of a jerk at Cartman's urging
Really goes to show how butters hasn’t been taken by child services, or not dead yet. His mom literally tried to drown him when his father was cheating on her, but decided butters needed to die. Hopefully when butters grows up and loses the innocence he once thought he had, he gets revenge on his so called parents
@@supdude6968 being Indian is a nationality not a race. Have you been to North or South India or North East India? They look same to you?? Which race is he being racist against? You should learn more terms, racist is not the correct word here. Edit- I forgot the insult to make your day. 'You uneducated nincompoop'.
It's so strange how realistic south park can be sometimes. They talk about serious problems that are going on that other people don't even think about. This episode shows how people can be so incompetent of imaginative kids. "Should we ground him?" Made me think about so much, parents these days just think a child will fix themselves if everything is taken away and isolated. If anything, butters is the most respectable and innocent in the show
This is so true! I was a secretary at a clinical psychology graduate school, and pretty much every grad student seemed to to be there to fix their own issues
"Ah Butters, you're back" It's so funny how this comedy works and how it can happen with a kid in real life. He just has an imagination and it's being totally taken out of context. Matt and Trey are geniuses.
I'm aware that this episode is commentary on how we overmedicate children but with the Post Covid Specials this holds up a little bit due to the existence of Vic Chaos. Vic says "Butters is a twerpy little loser kid who's parents didn't love him" when Stan and Kyle refer to him as Butters, he even clearifies that his name is Vic. Vic is his trauma response for being grounded for all of adolescence, and presumably killing his parents. Fuck, South Park is dark sometimes
Professor Chaos is like Dr. Doofenshmirtz. He isn’t actually evil, he just tries way too hard. But according to Stick of Truth, he can Kamehameha people into oblivion.
Neat little detail: Janus is the name of the Roman god of transitions and dualities. He’s always depicted as having two faces. Multiple faces, multiple personalities.
This is actually quite a deep episode when they’re actually parents like this who have a great child and show them neglect and blame for their own doings
@@Dowlphin South Park is a comedy series known for creating very wacky scenarios. There is no way on Earth this could happen in real life so I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to.
@@Uajd-hb1qs It is really sad an telling that you think South Park isn't critique of actual societal issues. But maybe you just haven't experienced those things yet. (Arsonists becoming firefighters and all that, and yes, also psychotherapists who psychologically project their own issues onto patients.) There was also a time when I thought sitcom characters were exaggerated.
@@Dowlphin I’ve never heard of such things occurring, no. My mother has even given me insights into psychiatric homes and such including having to go into therapy myself and I haven’t seen any scenarios like this. Of course, that’s limited experience.
@@Uajd-hb1qs So you already made an experience there to be envied for: You actually got access to a therapist. And supposedly they even could help you, which is even rarer. (Although help and healing might not always be the same thing. Some therapists are more like coaches to help adapt to a sick state, which is a general problem in the medical field and others, of not addressing the root causes.) Covid has made all this worse, of course, but even before that one had to be aware that therapists range all the way from excellent to unbelievable to even have a license, and the former ones will be swamped, so all you have left especially when you really need therapy are the bad ones.
Butters deserves better here. His parents are abusive and crazy. They tried to sell him to Paris Hilton, tried to kill him and always grounded him for the dumbest reasons. This is an example of parents who abuse their kids and put them through psychologically hell. A reason why parents like that shouldnt be allowed to have children.
Yeah, the south park fandom has this weird side that likes to dissect the little things and create their own little narrative instead of just enjoying the layered jokes. I suspect these are this ones that draw the tumblr style droopy eye red nose versions of the characters and ship the little boys with each other. Yeah, just something I've observed.
Kevinofrepublic ah. I’ll have a baconator, hold the mayo. With mustard and a large chili! Oh and a medium fry. And a large soft drink. Can I get chili sauce as well?
@@spongmongler6760 yea it’s far easier to have kids and then do nothing with them because you’re to busy putting everything above them. If you can’t put kids first put it in her butt.
The Dr. Janis joke had my dying, Matt and Tray are clearly much smarter than they let on. Janis (Yan-is) is the god of two faces and change in roman mythology, love that they snuck that in there
I have met a lot of parents like that, specially since my mom is a special ed teacher. So many parents come to her asking if their kids have multiple personalities or even autism because the kids play pretend, have an imaginary friend or talk to their stuffed animals. And worst than that is when they are told nothing is wrong they keep looking for someone that agrees them.
yes! i’m autistic (i’ve been diagnosed since i was around 7) and i noticed as a child that a lot of kids got flung into the special ed class that.. just didn’t need to be there?
South Park is honestly the most accurate commentary on our society. And I like that they make fun of every group equally. They aren’t afraid to say what they want and in our PC world, we should be thankful for that.
@@shadowwolf9909 neurolepticum, like Lyrica and atypical antipsychotics. And don't get me started on serotogenic antidepressants. All of because how shitty societies have developed in terms of what's good for the human psyche.
This parodies on so many things in just 3 minutes and combines so well in a funny clip. The obsessive medication of people with drugs, stimulated by the multi-billion pharmaceutic companies, the overanalysis of imaginative kids and calling every single issue that has existed for ages as some new form of psychiatric syndrome and even the well-known fact that a huge part of people attracted to psychiatry are motivated by desire to understand their own dark issues, hence there is a high percentage of psychiatrists with some syndrome of their own. Another brilliancy of South Park.
@Flamma , I want to say "WELL SAID", your analysis is great. And this phrase is so so true: "a huge part of people attracted to psychiatry are motivated by desire to understand their own dark issues". And this is really one of the problems with the field of psychiatry really.
@@picobarco4407 Thanks my friend, glad you liked it. South Park is one of my very favourite comedy shows, but so many people I spoke to, seemed to only notice and enjoy the often extremely vulgar, gore and purely scatological humour, that I myself find usually dumb and even repelling. At the same time they manage to capture and satirize, like almost no other show, practically everything that is wrong with the world nowadays.
@@jfjsas07 , once again I am also in agreement with what you are saying here about the vulgar part of the show, and how people gravitate to this part. BUT I want to say that the vulgar and scatological aspects in South Park were done much earlier like early 2000's till about say 2005 and also exemplified in the movie, but after that time period, South Park mostly moved away from that, and for long time are satirizing many different aspects of society, culture and politics. SO I feel the more vulgar era of South Park was mostly in the past, and it was just a phase they were going thru.
@@picobarco4407 Yes, makes sense, now that I think of that, I also belive that the vulgar part is much less common in the later seasons. Maybe Trey and Matt adapted to the wider audiences, or grew up emotionally themselves.
