Terrance and Phillip are a comedy duo from Canada who appear on The Terrance and Phillip Show, which is frequently watched by Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny. Terrance Henry Stoot of Toronto (voiced by Matt Stone) has black hair and wears a red shirt with a letter "T," while Phillip Niles Argyle of Montreal (voiced by Trey Parker) has blond hair, diabetes, and a blue shirt with a "P."
The characters were inspired by the number of complaints about fart jokes in South Park. In commentary by Matt Stone and Trey Parker during the first episode in which Terrance and Phillip appeared, they complained of many people claiming that South Park was poorly animated and just all fart jokes. In response the creators invented Terrance and Phillip to demonstrate just what a show that was indeed all fart jokes would be, and made it even more poorly animated.
It is revealed in the episode "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow" that Terrance and Phillip met at the "Canadian School for Gifted Babies" (a school full of Ike-style babies). The duo briefly separated in "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow", with Phillip having a "serious job" as an actor in "Canadian Shakespeare" plays. Terrance also becomes obese in this episode.
Terrance and Phillip have small beady eyes and Pac Man-like heads which flap up and down whenever they speak, as do all Canadians featured on the show.
In the 1999 movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, outrage on the part of American mothers to the duo's profane act leads to their arrest, and a war between Canada and the United States. Their deaths at the hands of Kyle's mother Sheila cause the upwelling of Satan and his partner-in-evil, Saddam Hussein, from the underworld. However, they are resurrected at the end of the movie by Kenny's wish that everything should return to normal.
They married their girlfriends in a double wedding at the end of the episode "Eat, Pray, Queef".
