A list of Reasonable Authoritah Figures cause i find them interesting: /u/foxyingtin South Park

I got all of these from TV Tropes, so shout-out to it:

In “Hooked On Monkey Fonics”, the other dads act friendly towards Mr. Cotswolds and are willing to talk out his concerns, but then he mentions his preference for wine coolers and they duct tape him to a table.

The Governor of Colorado in “Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime 2000”, who was willing to pardon Cartman after the boys pointed out the hypocrisy of charging him with a hate crime.

Barbrady of all people is the one for “Cartman Joins NAMBLA”, when the NAMBLA members come in to protest against Mr. Garrison and Cartman’s first “friend” being put in jail, Barbrady doesn’t release them, doesn’t believe that they’re political prisoners, and tells the members that he’s not releasing them until the FBI says so. And when they leave, Barbrady makes a snarky remark about them: “Boy, they have activists for everything nowadays.”

In “Proper Condom Use”, The pharmacist is floored at the thought of selling 4th graders condoms but reluctantly sells them when he’s reminded of his obligation to sell condoms to people no matter what their age. He then calls the school about the kids buying condoms (which made things worse, but he didn’t know this was the school’s fault in the first place).

In “The Passion Of The Jew”, Dr. Schwartz tries to prevent the Jewish community from forming an angry mob, quite assured the town is sensible enough to know The Passion is only a movie. It is only when he sees the film’s fan group goose-stepping past the synagogue that he joins in trying to boycott the film, though still by sensibly informing the theatre and civilians of the terrible behavior it is causing.

In the same episode, Father Maxi shows no resentment to Jews and points out to Kyle that The Passion isn’t entirely accurate to the Bible and it’s mostly based on passion plays from the Medieval Age which often enticed anti-Semitism. He passes it off as just a movie and not legitimate Christian teaching and doesn’t become an obsessive fan like Cartman or the other Christians in South Park.

In “Douche and Turd”, when not talking about protecting animals or trying to convince Stan to have a relationship with his ‘step-daughter’, the PETA leader is the only adult who actually talks with Stan about why he should vote, rather than just tell him that he ‘has’ to.

In “Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina”, Dr. Biber never exactly volunteers any information that might dissuade his customers, but he’s quite possibly the world’s least aggressive salesman ever. He certainly doesn’t have to twist anyone’s arm to sell his services in this episode. (He feels out of place here).

Well, about as reasonable as any adult on this show gets. The Governor of Colorado in “Follow That Egg” agrees that he will decide whether or not gay couples can raise children based on Mrs. Garrison’s egg study. When Stan and Kyle show up at the press conference with their egg intact, he keeps his promise and grants marriage rights to all the gay couples.

The therapist who knows what the Super Adventure Club does and believes Chef was brainwashed in “The Return of Chef”.

President Bush, as he was the only one in “Cartoon Wars Part 2” who defended the Family Guy writers rights to free speech instead of having them arrested like many people were recommending.

In “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy”, upon hearing about Miss Stevenson’s disgusting actions towards Ike, Principal Victoria immediately fires her and report her to the authorities.

Dr. Chinstrap in “Insheeption” maintains the usual zaniness of a South Park adult, but he has his moments. When he is going through Stan’s locker, he tries to accommodate Stan’s decisions; but gets more insistent when he pulls increasingly undesirable items from the locker. He finally gets insistent about throwing something away when he pulls out a sandwich full of maggots.

Mr. Adams in “The Poor Kid”. His irreverent Penn State jokes notwithstanding, he genuinely tries to help the kids find a safer home and is absolutely horrified upon learning what type of people the Weatherheads truly are. He decides to simply send them off to their original homes. When he finds out Cartman bullied a poor kid, he assumes Cartman is lashing out and gently tells him off for bullying a kid.

In the same episode, Greeley’s principal, who reprimands Cartman for bullying a child who was down on his luck.

Steve Ballmer seems to be one of the few sane adults in the world. In “A Song Of Ass And Fire” he doesn’t consider the console wars to be that serious and remains calm and collected despite what is happening. He gets killed by Bill Gates for not treating it like a real war.

Satan should not have been the one to give Stan a thorough and deep conversation about the hows and whys of addictive behaviors in “Freemium Isn’t Free”. Yet he did. He also thinks the Canadian Devil’s version of temptation is underhanded manipulation.

Surprisingly, PC Principal in “Wieners Out”. When the girls complain about what the boys did during the national anthem, he tells them the boys have just as much right to protest it as they do and he can’t disallow one protest while allowing another because the students’ genders are different.

Once again in “Douche And A Danish”, PC Principal doesn’t pick any sides in the gender war and points out how both sides are being plain stupid.

PC Principal again in “Put It Down”. He tells Cartman he doesn’t have the resources to help his cause but gives Cartman all the help he can assure him.

Strong Woman turns out to be this in “Super Hard PCness”, despite her name and first couple scenes implying she’ll be a comedic buffoon similar to PC Principal. She genuinely wants to make the school a safer place for all students, and when Kyle tries to get her on his quest against Terrance and Phillip, she simply notes that pointing fingers at TV for kids’ antics is illogical and usually leads to a slippery slope of Moral Guardians crusades. Lampshaded when Kyle expresses shock at this reaction.

PC Principal in “SHOTS!!!” is concerned first and foremost with the safety of his students, and he’s even willing to accommodate Cartman’s ridiculous demands to ensure that. His patience has limits, though, and he’s forced to simply ban Cartman from the school until he gets immunized.

Sgt. Yates is painted in a slightly more understanding light in “Credigree Weed St. Patrick’s Day Special”. He initially cuts Butters some slack and understands he pinched Kelly-Ann Barlow for not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. However, Sgt. Yates’s pity vanishes when he shows Butters the issue is that the girl he pinched was wearing green; green socks, to be precise.

The funds manager in “The End of Obesity” (who makes a reappearance in the back of the truck towards the end of the episode) knows what a shithole the healthcare system can be, but avoids coming off as trying to solely cater to either the customers or the company and assures Kyle that navigating the system can be rewarding every so often.
