5	'''''[[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com Ask the Main Four]]''''' is a mockumentary/teen melodrama ask/story blog of the WesternAnimation/SouthPark fandom. The blog debuted on Tumblr on September 23, 2014 and concluded with an three-part epilogue on November 13 and 15, 2018. Followers (as their peers) can ask Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny [=McCormick=] (and occasional guest Butters Stotch), questions about themselves. Due to being created during season 18, the story doesn't include elements from season 20 onwards. Nearly all characters were portrayed by Scribble Sibyl (her real name and origin are both undisclosed for private reasons). The other characters were portrayed by the author's former friend, known only as Rosey.
6
7	Eric Cartman makes the first entry by suddenly telling his friends they are going to be part of a video log. Despite some protest from Kyle, they go along with it, with the expectation of it being fun. The story has its own pace, but some things can change in the already written storyline depending on the questions. The author gives restrictions to the questions because of this.
8
9	The art style and story has quickly made the blog one of the most popular of the fandom.
10
11	!!The story in the blog provides example of:
12	%%* FifteenMinutesOfFame: Invoked.
13	* AbortedArc: The third arc (and the blog itself) has been suddenly concluded without any resolution--as confirmed by Sibyl.
14	* AcademicAlphaBitch / GoGetterGirl: Downplayed with Wendy. Kyle has said she is his academic rival and she does donations.
15	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Clyde has once confessed to Craig about having a crush on him. Craig's feelings weren't mutual with him, however.
16	* AllThereInTheManual: Sibyl the admisitrator, when asked about it, gives details that otherwise would be unknown due to the characters keeping their privacy; such as their penis sizes.
17	%%* AlphaBitch: Red Tucker.
18	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Kyle's adopted younger brother Ike is this to Kyle, who has said that the child can be [[JerkAss a dick.]]
19	** Kyle gives out a perspective on what Ike has done, such as [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/162603590742/what-edgy-shit-does-ike-post-on-the-internet syncing up the computer lab PCs to play deaths set to Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" and getting two kids suspended for it]], [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/162605525327/kyle-are-you-sure-that-ike-is-just-an-edgelord and picking on a kid who wears black and mascara (implied to be Firkle Smith, the youngest Goth Kid, but later confirmed by Ike himself), to the point that he got sent home for carving "fag" in his hair wax.]] Dick, indeed.
20	* AntiClimax: [[spoiler: When Stan tracks down Trent Boyett (of the episode "Pre-School", and who has escaped from juvenile hall) and prepares to shoot him, Kyle shows up to confront Stan, causing Trent to draw his own guns on them, claiming that he's won quick draw contests enough to kill both of them instantly. As he cocks his guns, Kyle immediately cocks his own gun and (after an unseen Cartman stabs Trent in the back with his own switchblade) [[NoKillLikeOverkill fills him full of lead]], [[TheScream screaming his head off]]. Then he [[BoomHeadshot fires a final shot to the top of his head]] as he drops dead.]]
21	* ArtEvolution: The style has improved dramatically since it first started.
22	* AscendedExtra: Patty Nelson (a one-shot character with whom Cartman fantasized about in "Le Petit Tourette") has an extended role on this blog as Stan's current girlfriend.
23	* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Inverted with Kenny; he has the face of an angel and [[LovableSexManiac the lewdest personality.]]
24	* AttractiveBentGender: Kenny looks feminine enough to only need a dress or a skirt to look like a very cute girl. Stan's comments lampshades this:
25	-->'''Stan''': (about Kenny's Miku Hatsune cosplay) He makes a very cute girl.
26	* BaitAndSwitch: Sheila has a talk with Kyle, and she says that she is disappointed in him. Kyle thinks she's referring to him being gay, but she says that she's fine with him being gay. Turns out she is disappointed in him (at first) for having Cartman as his boyfriend and not telling her about it. [[spoiler: She later ends up being accepting of their relationship.]]
27	* BaitAndSwitchComment: Cartman: "So far my great blog consists of gay jokes, sass, people booty calling Kyle, and vibrators. And I am proud of it."
28	* {{Bathos}}: Cartman presents Stan, Kyle, and Kenny with a slideshow of how Trent kidnapped him and kept him captive, and how he killed him... [[TerribleArtist all of which are drawn in his ridiculously childish style]].
29	* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: After Kyle shoots Trent dead, Cartman (who'd stabbed Trent before Kyle fired) approaches behind him and Stan, surprising them. Very relieved that he's alive, Kyle plants one on Cartman, much to Stan's utter befuddlement.]]
30	** Eric also did this to Tweek while both were in character during their school's performance of ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.
31	* BiggerIsBetterInBed: [[http://yummykyman.tumblr.com/post/128601559919/would-it-be-possible-to-maybe-not-give-the-size According to the author herself, Kenny's penis is 8 to 8-and-a-half inches (while erect), giving him the biggest penis out of the Main Four.]] (The boys' second body comparison makes that quite clear, as you can see the outline of his large equipment through his boxer briefs.) [[http://yummykyman.tumblr.com/post/144068860384/because-tweek-is-the-technical-twin-of-kenny-im Tweek shares the same size as well,]] [[TeenyWeenie which, considering his real character's flaccid counterpart, is pretty impressive.]] Cartman is a close second (and it's also impressive once you've actually seen it), also compared to his real character's flaccid counterpart.
32	* BigOlEyebrows: Cartman has them as of the third arc. Stan has these as well.
33	* BloodyHorror: [[spoiler: The blog takes a horrifying turn when Trent Boyett murders Kenny and stuffs his body in his locker, left to be eaten by his pet rats.]]
34	* BodySnatcher: [[spoiler: Kenny takes possession of Cartman's body after he is murdered, and finds out he is stuck in it.]]
35	* BookEnds: The second arc begins with [[spoiler: Kenny dying]] and ends with [[spoiler: him being resurrected]].
36	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The boys' high school lunch menu reads, in order: hot dogs, spaghetti, chicken pot pie, tater tots, corn... and dick? {{Facepalm}}.
37	* BreakTheCutie: Butters, after [[spoiler: Kenny is missing (read: murdered by Trent).]]
38	* CarpetOfVirility: Stan had this until he traded it for a Libra tattoo. Kyle has a slightly lighter version of this, as well as Cartman and Kenny.
39	* CastFullOfGay: You can count the named heterosexual characters with one hand. The other hand will be full due to the number of named gay characters on the blog.
40	* CerebusSyndrome: [[spoiler: Just like the show, this blog gets diagnosed with this in the beginning of the second arc.]]
41	* CharacterBlog
42	* ChildHater: Eric Cartman.
43	* ChildProdigy: Kyle's adopted younger brother Ike gets straight A's in everything, and he's only twelve.
44	* ClusterFBomb: Stan's response to how Cartman being sent [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/4c7b7c86acc898d0b082c7f47476abd0/tumblr_nqbaciRCaF1tmntzeo1_1280.png this picture]] is any more fucked up than his infamous act in the episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die":
45	-->'''Stan''': I never said it wasn't more fucked up than that. But you don't have to outdo someone else's fucked-up action for your fucked-up action to be considered fucked up, y'know? Even if you're less fucked up than Cartman was, you're still fucked up.
46	** When Stan calls up Butters to let him know about [[spoiler: Kyle being attacked by Trent and Cartman going missing,]] Butters lets loose a slew of F-bombs, chewing out the three for [[spoiler: keeping themselves safe while he searched for Kenny every night.]] This is enough to render Stan shocked silent after Butters hangs up on him.
47	** [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes Even Ike drops some F-bombs]] while answering the peers' questions for a day.
48	* CovertPervert: According to Kenny, Butters can be as horny as him.
49	* CrazyJealousGuy: Cartman becomes this when Clyde (asking questions for the day) begins to hit on Kyle. His response is to turn the anons back on so that they can insult them enough for him to leave. It ends up working when an anon tells Clyde that Craig will never love him. Stan and Kyle call him out on this--Kyle moreso in a texted conversation. Cartman justifies himself by saying that he was doing him a favor.
50	** When Cartman heard about Stan kissing and grabbing Kyle when he was drunk back in freshman year, he immediately went to Stan's house to push him against a wall and interrogate him about it. Stan lampshades this trope to Kyle afterwards.
51	* CreepyChild: When Ike caused the aforementioned incident, he was in 4th grade, [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour meaning he was 6 years old.]]
52	* CrossCastRole: Cartman is dumbfounded when Tweek is cast as one of the Heathers in the school's upcoming ''Heathers'' play.
53	* {{Curse}}: Kenny's immortality, what causes him to have a high sensitivity to the cold weather.
54	* CuteKitten: Cartman has an adorable Ragdoll cat named John Wilkes Booth, or Wilky for short. [[GenderBlenderName She's]] frequently seen perched on his shoulder or sitting on his lap.
55	** PunnyName: After Kyle got a puppy for his birthday and named him Abraham, one "peer" jokingly suggested that Cartman get a pet and name it John Wilkes Booth. Cartman liked the idea and complied.
56	* CuteLittleFangs: The art style makes it look like Cartman has these, along with slightly smaller eyes to give indication that he isn't so nice.
57	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Sheila isn't pleased with Kyle dating someone like Eric Cartman--something that she makes clear to him. [[spoiler: However, she later becomes accepting of the two being together.]]
58	* DeadpanSnarker: Everyone, but this tropes applies mostly to Kyle and Cartman.
59	* DeathTakesAHoliday: [[spoiler: Kenny (after getting murdered by Trent) explains to Cartman in the latter's dream that he hasn't died since 6th grade.]]
60	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Some of the off-screen posts are depicted like this.
61	* DelinquentHair: Shelly has half of her head shaved and the other half dyed pink.
62	** [[spoiler: Trent has a Mohawk sitting on top of a growing blond buzzcut.]]
63	* DisproportionateRetribution / FreudianExcuse: The reason why Trent is a psychopath is because he spent his childhood in juvenile hall, and therefore never had one, no thanks to the Main Four.
64	--> '''Trent''': Y'all threw me in prison for your crimes. You took my childhood. When I was fighting for my life in juvie, y'all were out playing Dungeons & Dragons! Y'all had a childhood!
65	* DoesNotLikeGuns: [[spoiler: When Stan tracks Trent down and points a gun at him, he immediately becomes hesitant and nervous. Trent takes notice of this and asks him if he's ever used one, then tells him that he basically set himself up because of his hesitation. When Kyle shoots him dead, Stan ducks and covers, clearly scared out of his wits.]]
66	* DramaClub: Cartman, Wendy, Tweek, and Red Tucker are actively involved in their school's drama club. Their recent play was ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', and Cartman mentioned playing Prince Eric when they performed ''Theatre/TheLittleMermaid''.
67	* DropDeadGorgeous: [[spoiler: Kenny's body is found with only his underwear left on him. This is because Trent wanted the corpse to be found in a humiliating appearance.]]
68	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Kyle, on account of his feminine build and his grown-out Jewfro (that he currently wears in a ponytail, further invoking this trope). He also has the highest voice of the Main Four, which also invokes ViewerGenderConfusion.
69	** Kenny falls under this trope as well (and he has the second highest voice to boot), moreso after [[spoiler: his resurrection, with his hair fully grown out and falling past his shoulders]].
70	* ElectiveMute: Kenny doesn't talk much, and Kyle has mentioned his awkwardness because of this when he is alone with him.
71	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Eric doesn't react very well when he is called "Theodore" or any nickname based on it. He tends to avoid giving answers to questions with this name.
72	* EthicalSlut: Kenny is certainly promiscuous, as you know, but he is also a [[NiceGuy very nice guy.]]
73	* [[ExperimentedInCollege Experimented in Middle School]]: At age thirteen, Cartman had a thing with Butters. The boys' bio page labels him as Cartman's technical ex-boyfriend.
74	** At the same age, Craig offered to give sex with Kenny a try. However, while Kenny enjoyed the experience, Craig didn't feel the same way.
75	* ExhaustedEyeBags: Tweek sports these. It's obvious why.
76	** [[spoiler: Stan and Kyle have acquired these after the latter got attacked by Trent and Cartman got abducted by him, leaving the two to barely get any sleep due to paranoia.]]
77	** [[spoiler: For some odd reason, Butters doesn't have these despite spending every day and every night looking for Kenny.]]
78	* ExtremeOmnisexual: Kenny. When asked about the type of people he wouldn't have sex with, he answered:
79	-->'''Kenny''': Either elderly people or disfigured ones.
80	* EyeColorChange: [[spoiler: Happens to Cartman when Kenny gets eviscerated and his throat slashed by Trent Boyett, his body stuffed in his locker and devoured by his pet rats. Oh, and his soul possesses Cartman's body again. After Kyle kills Trent in self-defense (along with unseen assistance from Cartman), Cartman's eyes return to his normal light blue color, signifying Kenny's resurrection.]]
81	** This also applies to Kenny himself. When he was a child, his eyes are clearly a turquoise color. When the blog began, they became dark blue, and now they're purple. For the newbies out there, [[spoiler: this is because of his being a spawn of Cthulu back in the "Coon and Friends" trilogy.]]
82	* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: [[spoiler: Kenny's murder (as depicted in Cartman's dreams) is depicted like this.]]
83	** [[spoiler: So is Kyle shooting up Trent.]]
84	* FanserviceExtra: When asked about how his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Cotswolds is doing, Kyle shows a picture of her on his cell phone, [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/a1f05f6810b74bd627a23404b788572b/tumblr_nestaplIDc1tmntzeo4_1280.png which contains her in bra and panties.]] He wonders how she can get good grades and keep up her looks at the same time.
85	** When some "peers" sent requests about wanting to see the guys' butts (mainly Kyle's), Kenny secretly took pictures of Kyle, Stan, and Cartman from behind and posted them, along with a picture of himself [[BoobsandButtPose posing]] in front of a mirror. He, Kyle and Stan are only wearing boxers in their pictures (the latter two were changing in the locker room, the former was deliberate). As for Cartman, Kenny notes that he skips gym class, so the "peers" are to settle with [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/e28458301c907369b9d0607f41e5ea26/tumblr_nktvwo6Ean1tmntzeo4_1280.png this lovely image.]]
86	** To a lesser extent, Kenny's older brother Kevin, who sure knows how to look good with a wifebeater and goatee.
87	** [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/f9e73e52a7c4aeec29b98d976a7ffcf0/tumblr_our19moHiD1tmntzeo1_1280.png We now get Liane Cartman in an open bathrobe, showing off her bra and cleavage.]] [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/98f83b3bf491b00cdff883c993dd2c7a/tumblr_inline_p6l6x7TW4j1scbxii_540.png Followed by this (to the right),]] [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/1c6f91475589e9946cc0430f83d0f037/tumblr_inline_pce8i873WP1scbxii_1280.png as well as her outfit in a photo of her and Jack Tenorman.]]
88	** [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/b8d733791bef9eea269c08a74c2aa4b6/tumblr_inline_ow7g7hU0Cz1scbxii_500.png Ditto for Red as Ariel.]]
89	** Kenny is seen shirtless and smoking a joint with Rebecca sleeping across the room from him. [[SceneryCensor Though her butt is obscured by his leg sticking up.]]
90	* {{Flanderization}}: If Ike's behavior and personality while answering questions sounds familiar, then you've probably seen the episode "Taming Strange", where he hits puberty early due to getting accidentally sent hormone imbalances, causing him to act like a stereotypically debaucherous teenager. Though here, he's actually hitting puberty, but the behavior is downplayed a bit.
91	* FlippingTheBird: When Cartman burns his leash after Kyle's bet involving being treated like a dog ends, he flips the bird to the burning remains.
92	** He also does this to the camera in the beginning of the third arc to signify his hammily-triumphant survival.
93	* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler: The author is a Kyman shipper, so if you've followed her blog up to the point where Kyle splits with Bebe because he'd found out he's gay, you know exactly who he's going to end up with.]]
94	* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Kyle and Kenny. In spite of this, Kyle shows big concern when Kenny mentions he hasn't eaten in days.
95	* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Ike's got [[ClusterFBomb quite the mouth on him]] while answering the peers' questions for a day.
96	* GagNose: Kyle's big nose is slightly exaggerated.
97	* GenreShift: The blog's first arc is standard teen comedy fare with a mockumentary frame. At the midpoint, off-screen posts pop up and that is where the blog shifts to a teen melodrama. The second arc turns into a [[spoiler: thriller drama]] with absolutely no warning.
98	* TheGiant: Craig is the tallest character shown on the blog, being 6'6".
99	* {{Gonk}}: Kyle's cousin Kyle Schwartz.
100	* GroinAttack: Off-screen, as Kenny got pissed at Cartman for insulting his house.
101	* GymBunny: Butters Stotch. Who'd have thought someone like him would turn himself into a strongman?
102	* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler: Kyle is able to pump Trent full of lead despite a broken leg (courtesy of Trent himself).]]
103	* HappilyAdopted: Craig Tucker is adopted from Peru.
104	* HartmanHips: Kyle has a rare male version of them, something that the peers acknowledge every single time they're on display.
105	** Bebe and Patty have them, too. [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/5f3ca3fa56260ee05702d7fc31bcbb2a/tumblr_inline_pce7r8rrAL1scbxii_1280.png And so does Liane, for that matter.]]
106	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: During his guest spot, Craig has claimed to be straight. [[spoiler: Sibyl has gone on to confirm that he's actually bisexual.]]
107	* HeightAngst: A little example. Kenny was expecting to be as tall as his father and used to bash his friends about it, but when he didn't grow up that much he didn't voice his sore disappointment. [[spoiler: Now that he has been resurrected, he's grown six inches, something that he's fine with.]]
108	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Trent gets stabbed in the back with his own switchblade, courtesy of a stealthy Cartman.]]
109	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: At Stan's 18th birthday, he finds out that [[spoiler: 5'2" Wendy and 6'6" Craig are dating]], which pissed him off because one does not date another's ex if the two are friends.
110	* HumanPet: Cartman was forced to wear a leash for a week after losing a bet to Kyle. The others took him on walks, made him sit on the floor, and wouldn't let him talk unless he was spoken to. Kyle even sprayed him with water when he misbehaved and [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/112577573872/he-definitely-hasnt-been-behaving-enough-to-earn fed him raw broccoli]], much to his chagrin.
111	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Stan gets drunk to cope with finding out about Kyle and Cartman being together. [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/161757089627/so-stan-wake-up-with-any-regrets-today The following morning, he apologizes for what he did.]]
112	** Gerald binges on wine with Randy and converses with him about Kyle being gay--something that Stan recorded.
113	* InformedAttractiveness: The art style doesn't make anyone look cuter than others, but Kenny is said to be so cute that [[EvenTheGuysWantHim even straight guys find him attractive.]]
114	** Kyle lampshades this trope while making a post about him pointing out that he has average looks.
115	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ike. While his jackassery is put on display while answering questions for day, he is fine with gays and gets along with Kyle pretty well... except when it's April Fools Day.
116	* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: Like in the show, Trent Boyett's appearance makes the story do a serious turn, as years of grudge have turned him into a killer psycho.]]
117	* LargeHam / LipstickLesbian: Annie Knitts and Red Tucker. The latter trope is pretty much implied, because when Stan asks the girls about [[spoiler: Kenny's disappearance]], Red brushes him off by starting an argument, beginning with saying that [[spoiler: Kenny disappeared because he got sick of them.]] As she goes on to tell him to run to his friends and "see if they did a better job giving a fuck about Kenny than you did," Annie excitedly encourages her with a little too enthusiastic "My God, Red, yaas!" ("Yaas" is an excited, exaggerated misspelling of "yes" in Internet speak, by the way.)
118	** Apart from Annie's brief encouragement in the large ham department, Red absolutely hammed it up in all her bitchiness during her part. The author has said that it was fun to write her dialogue.
119	* LeftHanging: The author has confirmed that the blog is finished, leaving everything unresolved.
120	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Kenny, moreso as of the third arc.
121	* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Kyle opens up to the peers about him and Cartman being together on Valentine's Day 2016.]]
122	* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: When Wendy talks to Stan in the cafeteria [[spoiler: to notify him of the students spreading awareness to find Kenny]], look at the right of the first panel and you'll find [[spoiler: Trent]] standing there. At that moment, you know that shit's about to get so much worse than it is now.
123	* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler: See GenreShift.]]
124	** For example, [[spoiler: after the news of Kenny's disappearance gets broadcasted all over the school and Wendy apologizes to Stan about her behavior when he asked the girls about Kenny's disappearance]], the next post involves Cartman reading a fanfiction from his phone, which escalates into Stan and Kyle being comically horrified when Stan snatches the phone from Cartman.
125	** [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/150836957630/offscreen-post-19a-an-off-screen-post-is-an But that's absolutely nothing]] [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/152083667727/offscreen-post-19b-an-off-screen-post-is-an compared to the very next posts after that...]]
126	* MrFanservice: All of them, really. [[BigBeautifulMan Including Cartman.]] But InUniverse, it narrows down more to Stan and Kenny.
127	* MrsRobinson: Liane Cartman, as you know. Eric tries to not have his friends come over to his house when she is at home because of this. When she was at the house when Kenny was there, what she did was enough to make her son squirm when he recalls that.
128	* MsFanservice: Bebe Stevens, all the way. There's also Patty Nelson and, most of all, Mrs. Cartman. Wendy Testaburger is not far behind in that department either.
129	* TheNapoleon: Averted with Kenny. It's lampshaded when one of the "peers" notes that he isn't grumpy at all, and Kenny responds that people get surprised at that. [[spoiler: Now that's he's taller, he's not this trope anymore.]]
130	* MultipleGunshotDeath: [[spoiler: Trent's fate at the hands of Kyle.]]
131	* NecktieHeadband: Stan in Kenny's 16th birthday party.
132	* NoPeripheralVision: [[spoiler: According to Cartman, Trent has tunnel vision, meaning that he doesn't see Cartman sneaking past him as he sticks Kyle and Stan up. This proved to be his fatal flaw that does him in.]]
133	* OccidentalOtaku: Downplayed with Kenny. Cartman tends to exaggerate saying he is "a complete weeaboo", but Kenny claims he just like to watch anime.
134	* OhCrap: [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/9bd5673bf8b987cfad7b464fc6ea72f3/tumblr_odvr47daEL1tmntzeo2_1280.png Kyle's reaction]] when [[spoiler: Trent Boyett comes out of a bathroom stall to corner him, wearing Cartman's jacket and Kenny's necklace.]]
135	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Some of the characters on the blog (namely Cartman) are noticeably out-of-character compared to the show. Stan gets the worst of it in the blog's epilogue, whose StraightMan ethics are thrown out the window when it comes to ignoring Cartman's claims about Patty Nelson being a sociopath--which is true. Apart from Wendy being revealed in the epilogue as a cheater (with Cartman under her Wendyl persona, no less), there's also Ike's debauchery--a far, far cry from his show's intelligent personality.
136	* PaperThinDisguise: At Kenny's 16th birthday party, [[spoiler: Butters disguised himself as a stripper.]] Subverted, though, as everyone knew it was him.
137	* PerkyGoth: Patty Nelson.
138	* PermaShave: [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/123829206562/stan-do-you-have-any-old-pictures-of-your-stubble Barring Stan,]] the boys are never seen with facial hair. Justified with Kenny, as his stubble takes a month to appear (and, unfortunately, it has never been seen).
139	** [[PlayingWithATrope This trope is played with]] by Cartman [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/134168948552/i-snagged-my-favorite-photos-from-my-act-in-the when he is playing Oberon]] in the boys' high school production of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''. When asked about it by the "peers", Cartman answered that [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/134173722502/eric-you-should-keep-the-stubble-its-suites-you the stubble was fake.]]
140	* PermaStubble: The aforementioned Kevin [=McCormick=].
141	** [[spoiler: Trent has a blond goatee.]]
142	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Trent is shown to be homophobic as he has Kyle trapped.
143	-->'''Trent''': So that was really all it took, huh? Leave it to the horny queers to do themselves in.
144	* PrimaDonnaDirector: Cartman to Wendy when he's having her and Tweek practicing singing for the school's production of ''Heathers''--her voice is cracking and he is teaching her to sing without making her voice crack. Later on, he criticizes Red for her role as Heather Chandler, having her put on a blonde wig for the role.
145	* RageBreakingPoint: [[spoiler: Stan learns the unexpectedly, very hard verbal way from Butters when the former mentions friends notifying other friends about when they're in trouble--the case being Kyle getting attacked by Trent and Cartman being abducted by him.]]
146	* RageQuit: After getting many messages from disturbing anons, Kyle gets mad for being called spoiled and decides he wants nothing to do with the blog. Stan and Cartman succeeded in convincing him to not quit, though.
147	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Stan's (who's an example of the trope himself) preference in girls.
148	* ReallyGetsAround:
149	-->'''Kenny''': ''(in response to being called a "fucking ugly shota" by an anon)'' I count 20+ chicks and 2 dudes [Craig and Butters] that disagree with you, but OK.
150	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Stan calls up Butters to inform him of [[spoiler: what happened with Kyle and Cartman]], Butters cuts loose a [[ClusterFBomb suddenly-profane]] rant ([[RageBreakingPoint after Stan says that the reason he's informing him is because that's what friends do]]), saying that he [[spoiler: searched for Kenny every night while the three keep themselves safe]], and not even caring about either one of them. When he hangs up, Stan is left in shocked silence.
151	* RefugeInAudacity: The boys' high school has putting on a production of ''Heathers''--in all its uncensored and unmodified glory.
152	* ScarsAreForever: Both Kyle and Butters still have their respective scars from "Humancentipad" and "Good Times with Weapons", but they cover them with make-up.
153	** Stan has mentioned Wendy's scars from her surgery in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society".
154	** [[spoiler: Cartman now [[CarvedMark has the words "NEVER FORGET" carved on his back]], courtesy of Trent. [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/171468948562/in-case-you-wondered-what-it-looked-like-ask Here's the proof]].]]
155	* SceneryCensor: Kenny is seen with Rebecca sleeping on the other side of the room, and her butt is covered by his leg. Considering all the stuff already mentioned in FanserviceExtra, this pretty much comes off as a cock-tease.
156	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When the boys take Token to a gun room to have the "peers" ask him questions, Token gets the wrong impression and walks out of the room, [[CameraAbuse shoving the camera to the ground in the process.]]
157	-->'''Cartman''': ''(sighs in disappointment)'' [[SarcasmMode Welp, there ya go, assholes. There’s your blog guest you wanted so much. Isn’t he delightful?]]
158	* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: [[spoiler: How did this vlog get started? The cameras that Eric installed in his room were actually to record himself using a vibrator on himself and then upload the videos on Chaturbate. Stan entered his room when he was installing them and he said it was for a personal vlog. When Stan remained skeptical, he said he was planning to tell the others.]]
159	* SecretRelationship: [[spoiler: Eric and Kyle want to keep their affection for each other hidden.]]
160	** [[spoiler: This becomes subverted when Kyle confesses their affection for each other to the blog.]]
161	* SexyDiscretionShot: [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/132969363182/off-screen-post-8-part-1-view-full-text Applies to Stan and Patty having such loud sex that it keeps Kyle awake, so after texting Cartman about it, he goes over to his house, where it's quieter.]] [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/132970619432/off-screen-post-8-part-2 And as soon as that happens,]] [[AvertedTrope the trope becomes averted in a semi-graphic way.]]
162	** [[https://yummykyman.home.blog/2015/12/03/offscreen-post-9-part-2-continuation-of-the/ The trope becomes fully, graphically averted a while later.]] [[https://yummykyman.home.blog/2015/12/25/offscreen-post-10-its-christmas-day-and/ And we DO mean]] [[https://yummykyman.home.blog/2017/06/24/a-little-extra-after-the-third-chat-event-on-m4/ fully, graphically averted.]]
163	* ShirtlessScene: [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/107282978357/got-multiple-asks-about-our-height-weight The Main Four have two]] [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/173034120117/height-comparisons-of-the-main-four-boys-revamped of these]] for two separate height/body comparison posts. Look at just how sexier Kenny has become!
164	*** He gets another one where he's smoking a joint with Rebecca sleeping on the other side of the room.
165	** [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/126787141347/you-guys-were-asking-me-about-this-earlier-i Stan has a separate one while showing off his new Libra tattoo. And look how ripped he is!]]
166	* SlasherSmile: [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/22327e7e2acae18e609c28e3856516f2/tumblr_ovk2n0dYUY1tmntzeo1_1280.png Ike sports a pretty damn big one while introducing himself to ask questions.]]
167	* SlidingScaleOfBeauty: World Class Beauty: Kenny; Common Beauty: Stan; Imperfect Beauty: Eric; Cool/Special Average: Kyle.
168	* TheSmartGuy: Kyle, [[RuleOfThree as you know]]. His grades are only competing with Wendy's, and he is very good with computers.
169	* {{Squick}}: An in-universe example occurs when the boys are sent a fanfic for Cartman to read on his iPhone. When he does, the fic gets a bit intimate, with Stan and Kyle becoming a bit suspicious. When it gets explicit, Stan furiously snatches the phone from Cartman, and both Stan and Kyle are absolutely horrified at what they're seeing. [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/cfd44e736218c1b33d9fb62ede9b794a/tumblr_inline_obq4jy739e1scbxii_500.png Their expressions are quite hilarious.]]
170	** Earlier in the blog, when Cartman [[spoiler: explains about his vibrator that the fans are questioning]], Kyle has a silent, disgusted expression on his face.
171	** [[spoiler: When Cartman is showing off his slideshow of how he got abducted by Trent (and killing him), he talks about Trent pulling a gun on him while briefly imitating his voice. Kyle squirms at that, noting that he sounds just like him, and Cartman notes that the two have similar voices. Keep in mind that Kyle was just about to blow Cartman, and since Trent showed up instead of Cartman, that means Kyle briefly had a disturbing mental image of blowing Trent.]]
172	* StalkerWithoutACrush: Since the early stages of the blog, Cartman gets most of the disturbing and hateful messages, and most of them are from just one person. The fact that they even knew about Mr. Kitty's death without him talking about it on the blog before actually freaked him out.
173	** [[spoiler: There has been a recent stalker on the blog in the form of Cartman's own mom--as a result of preventing Cartman from leaving her.]]
174	* StreetSmart: Kenny, for probably overcompensating [[BookDumb his bad grades]].
175	* StunnedSilence: Mixed with a mild JawDrop by Kyle when Cartman [[spoiler: corrects the various questions about his dildo, saying it's actually a vibrator.]]
176	** IThinkYouBrokeHim: A comment later made by a peer after seeing Kyle's expression.
177	* SwarmOfRats: [[spoiler: After a while of being absent they come back, as a signal that Kenny would die soon.]]
178	* TallDarkAndHandsome: Stan Marsh, Craig Tucker and Token Black fit this to a T.
179	* TemptingFate: Early on the blog, Stan answers a question about them being concerned because of Trent Boyett; he mentions they are not because they hadn't seen him in at least 8 years and that he most likely forgot all about them. [[spoiler: Months later, Trent murders Kenny.]]
180	* TerribleArtist: The peers ask for a drawing from one of them, and Eric decides to show his skills drawing the four of them. It's as good as you would expect from Cartman.
181	** His slideshow of Trent keeping him captive (and stabbing him) has the same style.
182	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Trent's death. He gets stabbed in the back by Cartman and shot six times by Kyle, followed by the top of his head getting shot.]]
183	* TinySchoolboy: Kenny and Tweek are the smallest boys in class. They are only 5'5". [[spoiler: After his resurrection, Kenny has grown six inches, but still qualifies for this trope.]]
184	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Kyle unleashes a barrage of kickboxing kicks (due to taking the sport up since he was 12, [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/152864398862/patty-thats-what-i-was-saying-if-trents-so as confirmed by Stan]]) on Trent (who had confronted him in a bathroom to kill him) after he figures out that he killed Kenny. [[CripplingTheCompetition Unfortunately, that gets him a broken leg]] by Trent.]]
185	* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler: One by one, each of the Main Five suffer from this in the second arc.]]
186	** Butters gets it worse than the others. [[spoiler: His boyfriend has been murdered and he is frantically searching for him, he gets chloroformed by Cartman to sedate him (though that ends up making things worse, as he continues to search for him), the news of Kenny's disappearance all over school causes him to break down, and just as Kenny comes back, Kenny shortly splits with him one night because Butters was being too clingy.]]
187	* TheUnreveal: Inverted in this case. [[spoiler: When Butters and Kenny are sitting on a bench at Stark's Pond at night, Kenny tells Butters something that isn't depicted in dialogue, but from Butters' reaction, it's sadly obvious that Kenny is splitting with him.]]
188	** Becomes subverted later on when [[http://askthemainfour.tumblr.com/post/174420503192/offscreen-post-26-an-off-screen-post-is-an Kenny is shown with Rebecca Cotswolds sleeping on the other side of the room]], indicating that he either apparently split with Butters over her, or he hooked up with her after the break-up.
189	* VacationEpisode: Stan, Kenny and Butters go with Patty to France during the holiday break.
190	* VitriolicBestBuds: When Kenny is asked about who is his best friend out of the other three. His answer is Cartman... after he kicked him in the nuts for saying that his house sucks. Cartman's response?
191	-->'''Cartman''': Best friends don't kick each other in the balls, you bitch. Fuckin' [[CountryMatters cuntbag.]]
192	-->'''Kenny''': It was a kick of love.
193	* WhatBeautifulEyes: Kyle and Cartman are the best examples of this trope. So is Kenny, in fact.
194	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Both Kenny and Butters like to wear dresses and skirts sometimes.
195	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: Kyle demands Stan to shoot Trent as the latter has them stuck up with guns of his own. This leads him to get the job done with a little assistance from a stealthy Cartman.]]
196	* WillingChanneler: [[spoiler: Cartman to Kenny. Mostly, though, because Kenny took over Cartman's body at the last minute.]]
