Towelie (Character)

For the episode of the same name see Towelie (Episode).

Towelie is a talking towel who was genetically engineered so he could make people as dry as necessary depending on the situation. He is usually seen giving towel advice to the citizens of South Park, or getting high. The theme song from Popeye plays whenever Towelie gets high. Towelie is said to be 17 in towel years, even though 17 is a prime number, and therefore cannot be the product of any number of human years and how many years a "Towel year" is worth. In "Crippled Summer" he had agreed to do an intervention. He also has been working at Lake Tardicaca and has been warned for getting high 14 times.
