The Boys

The Boys (also known as "Children" by Chef) is a group referring to Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny who appear in almost every episode of the series. The rest of the boys in the 5th Grade are known as the extended gang. They normally hang out at the Bus Stop.

After Kenny's death, Cartman, Stan and Kyle first replaced him with Butters Stotch for the first five episodes. In "Professor Chaos" the boys hold a contest spoofing the Bachelor, and settle on replacing him with Tweek until "Child Abduction is Not Funny". Kenny permanently re-appears in "Red Sleigh Down" Shane became a member for a while when Andrew left for two weeks to visit his family in England. They picked Shane because he is also british which would fill the missing space in their group. After putting up with Cartman's ignorance for a while, Shane left the group.
