Do people not like him?
He’s out there saving our world from ads, god bless him.
Didn’t he give up the badge and gun, cuz he didn’t wanna shoot anymore kids…
He came back for a special mission against ads, but I thought he was retired with his dog now…
He hasn’t really been used much at all for a long time now. My guess would just be that they’re trying to slowly replace the old characters with newer ones. For example, Principal Victoria, Ms. Crabtree, and Mrs choksondik.
Whats wrong with Principal Victoria
He’s probably out there framing black men, doing solid cop work
He was a damn fine caaaaahp.
T. T is for turtle.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS MOVE ALONG
My theory was always that he went into a dark place after he learnt to read and read about the world and the people in it and will one day return, innocence lost, full of hate and more powerful than ever.
Do you mean officer Buttbaby?
It’s easy to forget how old South Park is, like this show started when Clinton was in office. I think when Matt and Trey started the show they didn’t need much from a police officer character, just someone who shows up says a few goofy lines and is done.
Nowadays I think the way policing is done is a more prevalent issue in our society (or at least there’s more disagreement over how it should be done). I think Matt and Trey just needed a character who they can do more with and who fits the needs of today better. Like how they replaced Victoria with PC Principal, or even just the way Randy Marsh’s character has developed the last few years.
Barbrady was fired because everyone finally had enough of his stupidity
Poor barbrady, they made him shoot a bunch of kids at the towns behest and than just got rid of the poor bastard
Harrison Yates is better
Agreed 100%.
Barbrady was just a stupid oaf from the era before South Park’s clever social commentary.
Yates, is actually a pretty clever caricature of a cop and tends to behave and think a lot more like they actually do IRL.
They fully sold me on Yates on the episode where he goes undercover for sex stings.
Harrison Yates is the new barbrady
wow, you really Streeetttched me out
FREEZE BUDDY IM A CAHHHP
Wait… No… This is a false alarm. These are all left hands.
And let’s not forget, this guy is so dedicated to his job, he once married a drug dealer just to arrest him
He also let college guys run a train on his ass so the dudes committed to his job
Oh hell yeah. He takes undercover work incredibly seriously
“Hand me that evidence bag”
Whose in charge here? Not anymore you’re not.
Harrison Yates is one of the best characters
Marry me Yolanda. We’ll move to a little chateau in Switzerland and get away from all of this.
OH KESHAWN!!!
Butter’s Kissing Company was damn near a perfect episode.
But sometimes, they take the absurdity so far that it breaks the joke and becomes less funny for it.
Sergeant Yates marrying his pimp and moving to Switzerland was just stupid and not funny. But up until that point, the sex “stings” were absolutely hilarious. It also was so divergent from the main story, that they had to retcon it away as though it never happened.
South Park has a tendency to do this. They have a fantastic running joke and they have to keep on raising the absurdity until it “breaks”.
We almost sent a WHITE MAN to jail for a crime he didn’t commit!
half of them didn’t even use a condom! don’t you know of all the sick diseases you can get?!
Well, Barbrady was fired from the police department then ended up working for the feds against ads.
So I assume he’s still a government agent.
I wish he was still a cop
That’s my thinking. Maybe an independent consultant that the feds send a 1099 to or something. Just so long as his dog can get the meds she needs, that’s all that matters.
