Butt Out! is an anti-smoking group that appears in the eponymous Season Seven episode, "Butt Out".

Background

The group performed their anti-smoking speech using hip-hop music and dancing. Their persona is a play on the stereotypical school assembly meant to motivate children. This motivational technique was supposed to appeal to the younger audience of South Park, but instead of discouraging cigarette smoking, it inspires the boys to try it behind the school's loading bay, since they end their performance stating that if one does not smoke, "you can be just like us!", making the boys take up smoking in order to not become like the group when growing up.

Trivia

  • The members of the group are all named after their voice actors; Member 4's name, Randy, is likely taken from Trey Parker's given name, Randolph.
