Top 10 South Park Fandom Couples

South Park is an animated TV series co-created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It premiered on Comedy Central in 1997 and has since become one of the longest-running scripted shows on television.

Because the series has a large number of male characters, many fanfiction writers in the fandom age up the characters and pair them in yaoi ships. A few heterosexual and yuri pairings are popular as well, though they tend to receive less attention.

This list features pairings associated with the South Park Fanon Wiki and lets you vote for the best South Park fandom couple. As originally posted, the pairings were organized according to their placement on the wiki's homepage. Other pairings may be added later, depending on list approval and site guidelines. If the order has changed, that means users have voted on it.

1. Creek (Craig Tucker/Tweek Tweak)

   

   Only true fans will understand why this is number one. The characters' personalities fit perfectly with each other. Tweek is helped by Craig, and Craig is helped by Tweek in ways only the other can manage.

   Whereas with Stendy, it's just a stereotypical couple. Both characters are great on their own too. Tweek's paranoia and jitteriness make him relatable and funny, as does Craig's personality.

   Ever since I joined the fandom, this was probably the first thing I shipped. They have such a healthy relationship. Craig was always there for Tweek when he was stressing out.

   They even got married in the future, which I love! They go through break-ups, still get back together. Creek is probably my favorite out of all the canon and non-canon ships.

2. Style (Stan Marsh/Kyle Broflovski)

   

   They are not officially said to be (canon) gay, nor is their ship. But let's remember that this vote is for fans, and honestly, don't hesitate to vote for the couple you like just because they aren't canon or such.

   I am voting for Style because I like the chemistry between them, their friendship, and their understanding. This makes me feel like they would be the most dynamic ship together. I love Creek, but Creek is such a smooth ship that I cannot love it all the time. Meanwhile, Style is pretty damn angsty yet can still be fluffy. It doesn't always go smoothly, and that attracts me in a different way than Creek.

   My favorite ship, in season 4 episode 6 - Cherokee Hair Tampons, Stan cared about Kyle so much, he was ready to give up his own kidney for Kyle. Then again in season 6 episode 4 - Fun with Veal, Kyle is really caring towards Stan after he got sick. In season 7 episode 14 - Raisins, Kyle was showing lots of support to Stan after his break up with Wendy.

   I could give a thousand more reasons why, but those are my main points.

3. Stendy (Stan Marsh/Wendy Testaburger)

   

   I'll explain my reason why this should be number one. Basically, they are a couple. It's the biggest canon couple in South Park history. It's classic, male x female love. They have been dating longer than anyone else. I mean, sure they've been off, but they know best that they care for each other a lot. They both hate Cartman, and it's cuter than how they were with other guys or girls.

   So yeah, Stendy is better than Candy (that one is the worst). So, the bottom line is, Stendy truly is canon, and it's sweeter, and it makes a lot more sense.

   Obviously, this will always be on my list. This is the most famous canon ship in the whole franchise. Another reason why I ship this ship was because of the older seasons where their relationship was more wholesome, unlike now in the new seasons.

   Back then, where Stan throws up every time he sees or talks to Wendy was so cute! But now, it's just them being a stereotypical couple, who's toxic towards each other and rarely talks to each other. Still, fourth place on my list.

4. Kybe (Kyle Broflovski/Bebe Stevens)

   This is not my top, but I think it's cute.

5. Clybe (Clyde Donovan/Bebe Stevens)

   Clybe is so adorable. If it weren't for Stendy, then it would be my OTP.

   If it wasn't for the AI episode, these two wouldn't have been on the list.

6. Kelley (Kenny McCormick/Kelly)

   My favorite ship, honestly. Even after the Tammy x Kenny episode came out, I still preferred Kenny and Kelly. No offense towards Tammy x Kenny shippers out there, but I just feel like Kelly saving Kenny from dying is better than Kenny trying to get a BJ from Tammy and dying because of it. Although, sadly, good things always come to an end, and the creators ended things too soon. It was starting so well, especially when Kenny tried to make Kelly less afraid by telling her, "There's nothing to be afraid of, dear." It's just downright adorable and will always be number one on my list.

   This wasn't a bad ship at all. Pretty good.

7. Tochole (Tolkien Black/Nichole Daniels)

   This will always be second on my list. Personally, I think their bond is very wholesome and cute, even if they were set up to be together.

   I think the ending of the episode, where they didn't care what others think, made my heart melt a lot. Cartman did a good job making these two meet each other!

   This is one of the sweeter couples that I like to support now and then.

8. CartCart (Eric Cartman/Eric Cartman)

   This is Cartman we're talking about. Who would even think that this ship sucks? Cartman just has a thing for himself. No questions asked. The perfect person for Cartman is indeed Cartman himself.

   No offense, but I actually think this ship is better than Heidi x Cartman and Kyle x Cartman. I think it's less toxic. I also think that Heidi deserved someone better than Cartman. She really was a good girlfriend. She'll always be one of my favorite girls after Kelly and Nicole!

   It's amazing and canon, the most normal thing I can ever vote for.

9. Tim-Jim (Timmy Burch/Jimmy Valmer)

   

   I really liked this ship, even though most people find them as only friends or that it is forced. I find these characters' interactions entertaining and cute.

   There are actually very few fan arts and fanfictions with this ship.

   This ship is super adorable. I love their dynamic of nobody except Jimmy understanding what his friend means when Timmy yells "TIMMY!"

   Hmm… Well, I really have no words for this ship, but I can say that I like this ship and it's cute!

10. Kybecca (Kyle Broflovski/Rebecca Cotswolds)

    I loved their chemistry a lot. The way Kyle built up courage to ask Becca out and the way Becca became less shy because of Kyle is so adorable. They were starting to have a great relationship, and the way they ended the episode really broke my heart.

    I feel like Rebecca's character was forced to do those things in the last part of the episode. It just isn't fair that they didn't make it last some more episodes before the creators ruined it.

    I love this ship, not as much as others, but it's still really cute. Kyle helped Rebecca out of her shell, and all the scenes we got of them together were so cute.

    The ending was such a shame, though. But if you check out Kyle's closet, you can see the exact guitar he played for Rebecca, which I find adorable.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Bunny (Butters Stotch/Kenny McCormick)

    In my opinion, their relationship is really strong, and just Butters and Kenny together in an actual love relationship would be so adorable. Probably, people that also ship Butters and Kenny would agree that their love relationship would work out.

    I don't care what other people think of Butters and Kenny in a love relationship. I just care that I like the ship, and that's my opinion, and no one is going to be able to change that!

    Kenny and Butters are my favorite characters, and Butters shows a romantic relationship when Kenny is in his Princess costume. I love when they are BFFs!

12. ?

    Jyle (Jimmy Valmer/Kyle Broflovski)

The Contenders

13. Bratters (Bradley Biggle/Butters Stotch)

    They were so cute together. While Butters didn't fully understand their situation, he still fought to save Bradley's life. Bradley just couldn't resist Butters' adorable, innocent, happy self.

    I loved how Butters saved Bradley's life. It was so cute, but I only see this relationship as one-sided.

    Really cute! Sadly, it's one-sided.

14. Heiman (Eric Cartman/Heidi Turner)

    They were a beautiful couple that was done dirty. They were done dirty because Matt and Trey decided to be hacks and use their relationship as an allegory for Trump and his supporters. Heidi should have been Eric's wife in Post Covid instead of Yentl, who's a literal nobody and a bland character. Heidi didn't deserve to get shafted the way she did.

    People also forget that Butters basically turned Cartman against Heidi during the SpaceX trip. They should have used the Heiman ship to reset Cartman back into a more normal kid, like he was in the first three seasons. Cartman and Heidi were also egg partners in season 9, and he wanted her to get a good grade on the project even when Eric messed up the project.

    Bring them back already! They have so much potential. Retcon season 21 because that season ruined a good ship, all because the creators were hacks obsessed with politics. Trey's mind was also in a dark place at the time because of his relationship with Boogie. They recently reconciled, but they still went through a lot together.

    I propose this: have Cartman time travel to the day of the pumpkin patch. Make sure he tells Heidi the truth about Butters influencing his mind. She deserves to finally know the truth. Have Cartman and Heidi finally make it to the pumpkin patch in the altered timeline. Then you can have a timeline where she never got fat in the first place. Cartman doesn't deserve to be alone because he's saved South Park multiple times, plus he has shown that he is capable of changing for the better.

15. Kyman (Eric Cartman/Kyle Broflovski)

    

    I love them so much. I can understand the hate, Cartman is "anti-Semitic" and they do sort of have a frenemy relationship, but this is PEAK enemies to lovers or rivals in a sense. Kyle always comes back to Cartman and they usually help each other out. I think their nicknames like "fatass" and "Jew" are mostly teasing. But you can DEFINITELY see the obsession Cartman has for Kyle, and keep in mind if Cartman wanted to actually kill Kyle, he would have done it already. Obviously this is not canon, but I do think Cartman is bisexual, from his nature of liking both boys and girls (plus he acted like he was with Kyle in "Cartman Finds Love").

    Regardless, I do want this ship to be more normalized like the rest of them, because I don't think Kyman would be "toxic", maybe Cartman would be obsessive, but Kyle is really good with his girlfriends, and well, I'm taking this from the "Cartman Finds Love" episode that Cartman wouldn't be too bad. Anyway, my top ship!

16. Dip (Damien Thorn/Pip Pirrup)

    This ship is so cute! Now, completely ignoring that Damien set Pip on fire into the sky like a firework, it's cute like this mistreated angel (not really an angel) with a literal demon with daddy issues. Meanwhile, Pip is an orphan.

    Plus, Pip was actually talking to and with Damien even when he was an outcast! Now, it was probably because Pip himself is an outcast most of the time, but cute nonetheless! I think it's a cute pairing, an orphan Brit with the antichrist!

    It's a common yet overlooked ship. Honestly, I find it very cute, and I believe that it works. It may seem pretty normal. Demon x human ships happen a lot, but this one adds a little more character.

    I love this ship a lot, and I believe you might too if you give it a chance.

17. Catty (Eric Cartman/Patty Nelson)

    This pairing has so much potential. They can reintroduce Patty and make her a female parallel to Cartman.

    Another interesting ship regarding Cartman. The other being Heiman, of course.

18. Butarlotte (Butters Stotch/Charlotte)

    Ah, Butters and Charlotte. A ship that I was so attracted by. I really think this ship could've gone better if the boys vs. girls war hadn't happened. Butters and Charlotte really had a connection (literally. They call all the time). I think this ship would've done better than it had shown on the series.

    I would also like to add how Butters was disgusted by the fact his friends wanted him to date a Canadian girl in that one episode, yet he decided to put his and his friends' opinions aside to give Charlotte a chance. And the fact that they actually kept calling each other even after the episode was so cute. They really had a connection.

19. Tyde (Tolkien Black/Clyde Donovan)

    

    This ship is cute. Not my favorite, but seeing their friendship is probably so adorable! I just don't see their friendship going romantically. But it's adorable!

    I love their dynamic. It's so cute, and I have to restrain my mouth from smiling whenever I read fics about this or see fanart of this!

    This is one of my favorite ships. I love it! What else can I say?

20. Stenny (Stan Marsh/Kenny McCormick)

    This is literally my brotp. Stan and Kenny's friendship is so sweet and sad at the same time. I prefer it over Stan and Kyle's friendship since Kyle is a toxic friend.

    The most underrated ship, in my opinion. These two don't get enough interaction. I want to see more moments between them.

21. Garrislave (Mr. Garrison/Mr. Slave)

22. Crenny (Craig Tucker/Kenny McCormick)

    

    Crenny is simultaneously overlooked and also not, with the abundance of fanon content from its passionate fanbase (including myself), though it's really not up to par with the other more popular pairings. Anyways, Crenny, of course, doesn't make a lot of sense initially since the show hasn't really shown much interaction between both characters. But regardless, and taking it from the crumbs of their interactions, their personalities fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    There is a whole paragraph on the fanon wiki on why people ship Crenny, and it has its great points. It's really flexible to work on as a pairing, and even so, I (well, personally) don't see any toxicity in it and the fandom. These are the reasons it's my current OTP. That is all, goodbye!

23. Bendy (Wendy Testaburger/Bebe Stevens)

    I like this ship a lot. They are really close best friends. I just love their friendship so much! They remind me of Stan and Kyle's friendship a whole lot!

    They are best friends. This ship makes sense. If Stan breaks up with Wendy later in the future, then Wendy might date Bebe. But who knows?

    They have a good friendship, and I can see why people ship them a lot, but I only ever see them as friends.

24. Tenny (Kenny McCormick/Tammy Warner)

    I could see the two growing old together. I really wish we got this in more than one episode.

    I wish Tammy was used for more than one episode. She had so much potential.

25. K2 (Kenny McCormick/Kyle Broflovski)

    

    I personally don't love it as much, but I find this ship so cute. I kind of see it, but not much since they don't really talk much. They aren't as close. But it's cute!

    This is so cute. I can't believe it's at number 17! Kenny and Kyle have a great relationship, and I'd like to see that be explored further.

    If Kyle wasn't such a toxic friend, this might've actually been good.

26. Jimed (Jimbo Kern/Ned Gerblansky)

27. Macksondik (Mr. Mackey/Ms. Choksondik)
