Bunny is so fucking wild because we've genuinely seen them interact one-on-one in only ONE episode, and the rest we know about their canon dynamic is all background information, implications and cinematic themes. And yet we can put them together like puzzle pieces and it all tells the subtlest story of an extremely sweet and versatile dynamic.
Kenny is the only one Butters genuinely respects? Well, that must've come from SOMEWHERE. Butters had a secret crush on Princess Kenny? Dropped like a bomb the size of a crumb in the middle of the game. Kenny and Butters seen sitting next to each other in many school assemblies? Shows they like to choose each other's presence in day-to-day moments. Professor Chaos and Mysterion? The two most significant vigilante/villain personas in the show, and implied to be exclusive archenemies bc no one really cared about the C**n.
They grow up to be business partners? Close enough friends that Butters funded Kenny's projects and Kenny gave him exclusive access to his research? That can't have just been a casual dynamic founded on convenience. Butters taking Kenny's place when Kenny was gone? Don't even get me started on the fact that they're the two characters in South Park most often forgotten & left behind by those closest to them
