Gavin Throttle is a minor antagonist and one-shot character in South Park. His only appearance was in the heavily panned episode "Stanley's Cup", in which he serves as the coach of the Adams County Pee-Wee Hockey Team, a rival team Stan's team faces in the episode.
Why He Sucks
- Gavin is nothing more than a Gary Stu who believes that his team is superior to Stan's.
- Because he is the coach, his team also provokes a similar arrogant mindset to his.
- He and his team only care about winning and nothing else, which proves how competitive he is.
- He proved to be very mean-spirited and even sadistic in a sense, as he showed no sympathy that the opposing team has one member (Nelson) suffering from cancer.
- This is especially evidenced when he trash-talks Stan's team before the match, telling him "We're gonna beat you into the ground, cancer or no!"
- In spite of his pride, his team proved to be no better than Stan's as the match ended with a 0-0 draw.
- He is another example of the mean popular boy stereotype.
- He never got punished for his actions, which makes him a member of the Karma Houdini trope.
Redeeming Qualities
- At least his team didn't resort to extreme brutality and torture, unlike a certain other team later on in the same episode.
- His design seems passable and elegant-looking as usual.
- He stopped making appearances in the South Park franchise after this episode due to the backlash he received from critics and fans.
