Butters is generally much nicer, more innocent and more gullible than the four main characters. He has a bit of a stutter and a southern accent. He is an only child and his parents, Chris and Lynda Stotch, are very strict. This has evidently affected poor Butters as he often tells himself off when his parents are not around to do it ("Why, I oughta learn to control my behavior! I should be ashamed of myself.") He is scared of his father, whom he is obliged to respectfully refer to as "Sir", in contrast to the other unruly children, such as Cartman, who give their parents little or no respect.

In episode #607, "Simpsons Already Did It", Butters devises a series of supposedly original evil plots, only to abandon each of them after General Disarray informs him that they have already been used on The Simpsons.

Despite always being picked on by the other boys, (mostly Eric Cartman), and his bad luck, Butters keeps a generally optimistic attitude toward life. This may be because he acts very naïve. However, Butters delivers a rather convincing speech on why he loves life in episode #714, "Raisins". Though it seems no good can ever come to Butters, some poetic justice finally occurs when Eric Cartman is forced to keep himself disguised as a robot in an attempt to retrieve a video Butters has of him dressed like Britney Spears (episode #802, "AWESOME-O"). Enduring life with Butters is complete torture for Cartman, who had originally planned to use his disguise to exploit Butters' gullibility. Cartman is ultimately unsuccessful, when he exposes himself by farting, and Butters shows the video to everyone. A similar cliched "young boy-strange friend" parody occurs in the episode "The Death of Eric Cartman," where both Cartman and Butters believe Cartman has died and is a ghost that only Butters can see; at the end of the episode, when Cartman discovers that he is alive and others were actually just ignoring him, he freaks out and screams at Butters, swearing revenge for what was in no way the poor boy's fault.

A common running joke is the song Butters sings, "Lu lu lu, I've got some apples, Lu lu lu, You've got some too." Butters is usually interrupted before he can continue the song.
