Al Gore was the 45th Vice President of the United States under the Clinton administration from 1993 until 2001, and ran for president against George Bush in 2000. He's most notable within the series for trying to alert people of ManBearPig, though he also appears once during his vice presidency and later to sue the town.
Appearance
Al Gore originally wore a generic black suit with a thin face and black hair. In Season Ten, his new look included a blueish gray shirt and brown tie. His hair was dark brown in reality, and later began wearing a red cape. In Season Twenty-Two his look has changed again, he has grown a beard and his hair color is now grey. He also wears his blueish gray shirt, dark pants and bowling shoes.

Personality
Gore appears to be very delusional and deranged, which is shown most when he apparently invents the ManBearPig creature and puts the boys' lives in danger to maintain that fantasy. This might be due to an obsessive need for everyone to admire him as per Stan's description, "You just use ManBearPig to get attention for yourself because you're a loser!". This indicates that Gore has an extreme case of egocentricity as his attention-seeking idée fixe has poisoned his mind to the point that he undisputedly believes in the reality of ManBearPig.
Gore apparently made up ManBearPig and made it seem real (as far as he thought), so that the world would consider him a hero for "destroying" it, which is all he cares about. His mental creation manifested itself among the other evil characters of Imaginationland and he was willing to destroy Imaginationland along with all of its inhabitants to kill ManBearPig. Believing himself a super-hero of sorts, after donning his cape he began running around acting and talking like Superman. However, ManBearPig was proven to be real in "Time To Get Cereal" where he goes on rampage in South Park.
Relationships
The Boys
Stan forced the rest of the boys to help Al Gore search for ManBearPig. While the rest of the boys did not care how Al Gore felt, Stan pitied him, this led to Al Gore leading and then abandoning them in the Cave of the Winds and nearly killing them by causing a cave in and flooded the place, all in order to finally be rid of ManBearPig. Because of this, all four boys now dislike him. When he gave a speech for the boys at their "memorial" at the Cave, he didn't even known their names, and just referred to them as "Kid 1, Kid 2, Kid 3, and Kid 4".
