List of Minor Characters from Season Eight

This list is for minor characters from the eighth season of South Park.

Beth
Beth is a background character, whose only significant role has been in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", where she played "2 Minutes in Heaven" with Clyde and caused him to come out of the closet crying with a rather sore butt.

Beth has short black hair with bangs, and wears a violet jacket and yellow trousers. As a whore, she wore a white tube top, a pink skirt with a slit up the side, and pink pumps. However in some later episodes, she can be seen as a background character with normal clothes on.

Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds appeared in the South Park episode, Up the Down Steroid, in which he presented the award at the Special Olympics, along with Jason Giambi and Mark McGwire. All three athletes have been linked or allegedly linked to the use of steroids in Major League Baseball.

Jessie and Kal
Jessie and Kal were two friends of Wendy's that appeared in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset". She came to them in hopes of hanging out with them, only to find out that they had gotten into the whore fad as well, with the "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset". The two girls later appeared at Bebe's party, where a naked Kal hit on Craig in an armchair.

Jessie had long blonde hair, worn in a side part with bangs and held back by a green headband (her hairstyle is similar to that of Lola's). She wore a pink sweater with a flower on it, and a dark green pair of trousers. As a whore, she wore a magenta tube top with "SLUT" on it, a denim skirt with a slit up the side, and black pumps.

Kal had wavy, shoulder-length dark brown hair, with a lock of it hanging down the center of her forehead. She wore a pink bow in her hair, an orange T-shirt with a red collar, and dark green trousers.

A girl resembling Kal appeared in "Marjorine", though she didn't have a hairbow and wore a red sweater, dark green mittens, and matching trousers.

Kal could be seen watching Cartman and Wendy fight in Breast Cancer Show Ever although she didn't have bow and wore a red jacket.

Kal and Jessie could be seen watching the Jonas Brothers in The Ring.

Kelly Rutherford-Menskin and Kelly Pinkerton-Tinfurter
Two girls by the name of Kelly appear in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", when Cartman tries to crash the party by claiming each of them invited him (though neither actually know him).

Rutherford-Menskin had shoulder-length brown hair and wore a large pair of silver hoop earrings, yellow mittens, and a black bustier, miniskirt, and heels. She also draped herself in a white boa. Her name may be a reference to actress Kelly Rutherford.

Pinkerton-Tinfurter had blonde hair in pigtails (with violet ties), and wore a black tank top and violet pants. Also in later episodes Kelly Pinkerton Tinfurter can be seen as a background character in her normal outfit.

Mandy
Mandy was part of the South Park Elementary cheerleader squad (with Bebe, Rebecca, Annie, Heidi, and Esther) in "Douche and Turd", her only appearance to date. She had wavy dark brown hair, and wore braces that caused her to speak in a lispy manner, similar to Shelley Marsh.

Nancy
Nancy, who appeared in "Up The Down Steroid", was Jimmy's girlfriend. The two had met in free period the week before and had been going out since, though their relationship became strained when Jimmy continued taking steroids and working out. When she told him she planned to leave him, he went into a rage and severely beat her with his crutches. She was last shown in the audience, smiling as Jimmy handed back his medal. Their relationship seems to have not lasted beyond the episode, as no reference was made to Jimmy having a girlfriend in "Erection Day".

Nancy had short black hair, held back with a teal headband, and dressed in a more 'mature' manner than the other girls, wearing makeup and a navel ring (unusual for her young age), as well as a midriff-baring black shirt with yellow stripes running down the sleeves, and a pair of teal pants (also with yellow stripes).

Nathan
Nathan was Jimmy's steroid supplier in "Up The Down Steroid", and had Down's syndrome. He had long, light brown hair and wore glasses, a yellow "Special Olympics" shirt, and teal running shorts.

Trent Boyett
Main article: Trent Boyett

Trent Boyett was a classmate of the boys back in pre-school, that returned to South Park for revenge 5 years later.

Ms. Claridge
Main article: Miss Claridge

Ms. Jane Claridge is a South Park Elementary pre-school teacher. Her first appearance was in Pre-School. Ms. Claridge was disabled and covered in burns after a fire broke out in the pre-school classroom at South Park Elementary. The fire was started when Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny wanted to play "fireman" and asked the "baddest kid in pre-school," Trent Boyett, to start a fire for them. In spite of the boys' efforts to extinguish the fire (by urinating on it), the fire grew out of control and nearly killed Ms. Claridge. Ms. Claridge survived, but was badly injured and placed on a modern chair which very much resembles that of Capt. Christopher Pike in the original Star Trek episode "The Menagerie". She can't speak, and can only communicate by activating the lights and beeps on her wheelchair. If it lights and beeps once it means "yes" and twice means "no." It is not clear how she can function as a teacher if she can only communicate "yes" and "no."

The boys denied all culpability for the fire and Trent Boyett was sent to Juvenile Hall for 5 years. One day, Ms. Claridge's wheelchair ran out of power in the middle of the road where the boys found her. Seeking to escape Trent Boyett who has been released from Juvenile Hall, they appeal to Stan's older sister Shelley for protection. Shelley agrees, but only if the boys confess to Ms. Claridge their role in the fire. As the boys start to confess to her, Trent Boyett arrives and confronts the boys. Cartman tries to stop him with his mother's taser gun but it accidentally shoots Ms. Claridge. It powers her wheelchair which spins out of control and crashes into a propane shop which blows up and sets her on fire. After crashing into a pet shop and getting attacked by cats, she hits a fire hydrant putting the flames out. The police arrive and ask if Trent started the fire. She replies "no" with 2 beeps but the police mistake it for "yes yes" and arrest Trent. Ms. Claridge appears briefly in 2 other episodes, "The Death of Eric Cartman", where Cartman, in his efforts to atone for his life's misdeeds, gives her a fruit basket and "Erection Day" where she could be seen watching Jimmy perform his stand up comedy.
