As this page demonstrates, every dognote has his day.
- Butters has one in the final scene of "Christian Rock Hard". After the audience leaves, Butters farts on Cartman, gives him the finger and whispers "Fuck you, Eric."
- "AWESOM-O" (rather apt title, isn't it?): when Cartman's robot disguise is revealed after a bloody stand-off with the military, Butters makes good on the promise he'd made earlier in the episode: he shows a video of Cartman dancing around dressed like Britney Spears not only to the South Park residents... but also to the Hollywood executives, scientists and military officers they'd encountered earlier. He's dancing around with the biggest smile on his face while everyone else is laughing, and all Cartman can say is "Lame!" GOOD END. Heck, Trey and Matt deserve applause here. Usually, an episode is completed in a week. But this episode was completed in three days! EPIC WIN.
- Any instance where Butter's Harmless Villain persona, Professor Chaos, created after being fed up from being ripped on one too many times, is actually taken seriously:
- "Good Times With Weapons": Engaging in ninja combat with the boys up until Kenny damages his eyeball.
- "The Coon": Siccing his right hand man General Disarray on the titular Coon, forcing him to disclose his intentions of working together.
- "Franchise Prequel": Finally pulling off a scheme that produces a lot of trouble which ISN'T EASILY STOPPED.
- "Super Fun Time": After being selected as Cartman's buddy on the field trip, being instructed to not to let go of his hand, and spending the whole episode being dragged along as Cartman left the tour, he finally gets him to agree to come back and finds the mock colonial village has been taken over by thieves with machine-guns. He then uses Cartman as a flail, fleeing gunfire until he shows up at the end dragging an unconscious Cartman up onto the bus, declaring "Teacher, my partner is back on the bus", as he finally lets go of his hand and faints.
- "Raisins": Stan, inconsolable after breaking up with Wendy, joins the Goth Kids. Butters endured a similar situation, but fended off the Goths with:Butters: Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid. Besides, I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy goth kid.
- "Butters' Bottom Bitch", when he becomes a pimp. The fact that he went from... Butters (he's become a synonym for being a pussy) to being a full on Pimp (with a capital P) is enough.
- He spent the whole time thinking his girls are only selling kisses and hugs (even the actual prostitutes who signed up with him later).
- The scene where he goes to a Pimp convention and gets tips from them, noting it all down, is extremely awesome. And so is when prostitutes were starting to advertise him around their social circles as a respectful pimp who never beats his bitches.
- His most awesome moment has to be being a complete Badass in "The Last of the Meheecans". He makes all the Mexicans realize that they all really want to go home and starts some kind of revolution, becomes their LEADER, and then crosses the American border whilst being chased by Cartman. Badass. Butters approaches the border and border patrol is all too willing to let him in, since Americans are too lazy to do menial labor and want Mexicans to do it for them. However, Cartman is not happy to see him and Butters even looks at him and says "Game on!" as if he were taunting Cartman that he will make it through no matter what. A chase scene ensues with Cartman going through any means necessary to keep Butters from crossing the border and though border patrol is on Butter's side, Cartman is still relentless in his pursuit. The Crowning Moment comes when Cartman finally catches up to Butters and tackles him to the ground only to realize too late that it was a decoy using a Mantequilla piñata and that Butters had successfully climbed over the border gate. Every Mexican in North America and the border police cheer as he makes it through.
- At the end of the episode, Stan once again says that while Butters is a good Mexican, he's not a good Mexican leader. In response, Butters stands on his chair and raises his arms. Cue the roar of every Mexican in North America.
- Even better, Butters doesn't even get grounded by his parents for going to Mexico.
- "Imaginationland". Especially since he survived a goddamn nuke, and in the process reformed of recreating Imagination land, resurrected his friends from the real world.
- The end of "Cartman Sucks". A misunderstanding leads to him being sent to "Pray the Gay Away" camp, where he is repeatedly told that he's "confused" and needs to be "fixed". Finally, he snaps and tells off the entire camp staff plus his dad.
The topper to this tirade was that Butters literally was confused — he had no idea what bi-curious meant.Butters: All right, that does it! I am sick and tired of everyone telling me I'm confused! I wasn't confused until other people started tellin' me I was! You know what I think? I think maybe you are the ones who are confused!... I'm not gonna be confused anymore just because you say I should be! My name is Butters, I'm eight years old, I'm blood type O, and I'm bi-curious! And even that's okay! Because if I'm bi-curious, and I'm somehow made from God, then I think your God must be a little bi-curious himself! - Near the end of "Butters' Very Own Episode", he gives his parents a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to stop their fighting. And then they feel bad and give him the love he deserves. Kind of.Butters: Now gosh darn it, you! [steps in between his parents] You listen here! Now I am sick of these harmless lies and l-little white lies. You know, you can call a shovel an ice-cream machine, but it's still a shovel, Mom and Dad. Ah, and you can call a lie whatever you want, but it's still a no-good stinkin' lie! And when you start coverin' up one lie with another why, now that's when you get into real trouble! [Chris and Linda listen] Boy, I've, I've just about had it up to here [puts his right hand to his chin, palm down] with you two!
- "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" when the rest of the kids, thinking they'll get in trouble for writing such a dirty book, convince everyone that he wrote it (including Butters himself) — and it becomes a runaway success. Then, when he's confronted by the boys, he blows them off and tells them that they can go suck on his wiener. He gets another one for writing the sequel, which, though it was clean enough for us to hear it, was dirty for his standards. The kicker? Up until a reader kills the Kardashian sisters, it's just as heavily praised as the original book with readers raving about how he had gone back to his roots.
- Some see this less as Butters' Moment of Awesome and more as a massive Take That! to Literary Scholars.
- It is at least a Moment of Awesome for having Butters finally turn the tables on the boys, who constantly bullied or manipulated him into their schemes while acting as their fourth friend. Not only does their treatment of Butters get completely turned against them, but Butters finally stands up for himself and tells them to shove it when they try to blame it on him again.Kyle: Butters, do you really think it's fair to lie like this?! Let me tell you, if you don't have—!Butters: [snaps] No! Let me tell you something, fellas!! You always take advantage of me. And after reading Catcher in the Rye, I've learned you're nothing but phonies! I'm not letting you trick me this time. So the four of you can just suck on my wiener.[storms off, leaving the other boys speechless]Cartman: [beat] That inconsiderate jerk...
- His "The Reason You Suck" Speech to his grandmother in "Butterballs", late at night, and her silent reactions throughout it:Butters: Grandma? I did it grandma, I finally stood up for myself, I got real mean and I beat the snot out of Dr. Oz. I can't lie, it felt kind of good at first, but since then all I have is this kind of dark empty feeling, and then I realized, that's how you must feel, all the time. Poor old grandma, you know, I've been getting lots of advice on how to deal with you, stand up to you, tell on you, but I kind of realize that there's just people like you out there, all over the place. When you're a kid, things seem like they're going to last forever, but they're not, life changes. You won't always be around, someday you're going to die, someday pretty soon, and when you're laying in that hospital bed, with tubes up your nose, and that little pan under your butt to pee in, I'll come visit you. I'll come just to show you that I'm still alive and I'm still happy, and you'll die, being nothing but you... Night grandma!
- Writers tend to forget that if you could ignore your bully, expose them, stand up to them, or find help, you would. That's why it's bullying; it makes you powerless. Somebody on the writing squad must have had experience; people tell you to fight back. You fight back, and then everybody gets angry at you because deep down they don't actually give a rat's ass. And Butters' conclusion? The writers don't have the gall to tell you that the bullying is going to stop now, nor that Butters is simply going to ignore it. Nor is he going to simply put it behind him. Grandma doesn't get punished, but she isn't shown to mend her ways. He just tells her calmly and in private, that he's going to be there when she dies. And that he's going to be happy. Her own grandson will be happy when she dies. And he leaves her to think about that.
- The completely broken, empty look of sadness on his grandma by the end of it only sells it further. She knows she's unhappy, weak, and soon to die, even worse, now her victim does, and vows to milk it for all it's worth.
- Butter's setup of the joke in "Reverse Cowgirl", as he is proven right;Well, I always thought you sat this way (facing inward on the seat.) Then you have the flusher right there and that little shelf for your comic book and chocolate milk.
- "Going Native":
- Sinking an entire ocean liner with a golf ball.
- Dropping a huge "The Reason You Suck" Speech on a majority of the class minus Kenny. Most notable targets being Cartman, Stan, and Kyle. He even outright snaps at his dad to shut up.
Butters: You just think you know everything, don't you Kyle?! Every little thing you gotta shoot your mouth off like you're the frickin' expert! Well you don't know everything because your best friend is a kid who thinks the entire planet revolves around him and he only cares about his image! You guys think Cartman is the only selfish piece of crap in this school? You're all fake and stuck up, and none of you have the courage to tell Jimmy that his jokes aren't funny! The only kid here with any sense of dignity is Kenny, and the rest of you have your heads up your butts!
Cartman: Well, apparently Kenny is Butters' best friend. You guys gonna make out, Kenny?
Butters: And that's another thing! You're always trivializing everything I say by getting the last word! Well, you're not getting the last word this time!
Cartman: ...Wow.
Butters: Double wow! - "Gluten Free Ebola" reveals that Butters was expelled after he managed to burn down South Park Elementary's gymnasium prior to the events of the episode. He was also noted to have run off in a laughing fit, flipping the bird to everyone he passed.
- While under the influence that everything was Virtual Reality... Butters finally punched Steven in the balls for grounding him one to many times in "Grounded Vindaloop".Stephen: There you are, mister! Just where do you think they're going?
Butters: Hello, dad! It's me, Butters.
Stephen: I know that. What are you—
Butters: This is for all the times I got grounded! (punches Stephen in the nutsack, followed by Stephen groaning in pain) Hah! I can almost feel his balls on my fist! - "Wieners Out": It doesn't matter if you believe in his cause or not. Seeing Butters not only choosing his own way of thinking but rallying every boy up in spite of Kyle's objections is a huge step up from the pushover we're so used to seeing.
- "Tegridy Farms": A brief one, but after being punched out by Cartman (in order to hide his complicity in the vaping business), Butters angrily confronts him in the restroom, opening up by kicking open the stall doors to get to him. It goes to show that he isn't as willing to put up with Cartman's abuse as he used to be.
- "The Return of COVID" introduces us to Victor Chaos, the future version of Butters. As a result of being grounded in his room for 16 years, he became a dangerously efficient NFT salesman. Unlike Professor Chaos, Victor was a genuine threat to society, being able to scam thousands of people out of their money with NFTs in just a few hours.Victor: Sorry, guys, you have me confused. I think Butters was a twerpy little loser kid whose parents didn't love him. My name's Vic. Vic Chaos.
- At the end of "The Return of COVID", Butters shows absolutely no sympathy for Cartman's miserable fate in the new timeline, even telling Stan and Kyle to stop feeling sorry for him, saying that "nothing could have changed the path he was on". After how much of a doormat Butters was to Cartman throughout their childhood (and even earlier on in the special), it's nothing short of cathartic. As a bonus, when Cartman starts screaming obscenities at him, Butters bites back.Cartman: FUCK YOU, BUTTERS!Butters: Fuck YOU, Eric!
- Butters giving his thoughts on the flooded market that is streaming services:"They don't give a fuck, Kyle. They're gonna take everything they can get. Everyone knows, at the end of the day, there's only gonna be, like, three streaming services, so they, like, everyone just wants to have their shit on their stream and get bought out, you know? And they don't give a fuck how good anything is. And the people who made all the deals, they don't give a fuck, 'cause they're all gonna get fired anyway, you know? And everyone working at this streaming service is now working over at that streaming service. No one gives a shit about what fucking goes on in it.""Well, if you look at it, only about a fourth of what's on most streaming services is really worth a shit.""It's not my fault streaming services paid people more than was sustainable for any business model.""No, see, what he did was he paid people too much money while actually devaluing the artists, creating a streaming business that was driving content instead of content driving the business. So now he's got a huge company but all he's delivering is piss."
- "Dikinbaus Hot Dogs": After Butters spends the whole episode putting up with Cartman taking advantage of him to the point Cartman steals all of the money from Butters' bank account for amusement rides for the hot dog stand, Butters snaps and marches right down to Dikinbaus to finally get the stand open and sell hot dogs to customers all by himself to earn back all of his money. But he doesn't stop there. Once the restaurant is thriving and profitable, he turns down the bank's offer to expand in favor of selling it to a group of foreign investors. When the banker reminds him the Cartmans are technically still residents there, Liane comes in to reveal she and Butters made a deal with the investors to buy back the Cartmans' old house. Thus the sale goes through and Cartman is left wailing as he loses his new dream home.
