So true. It's a very different dynamic. I love that the characters are strong enough that they naturally bring out these different conflicts. Like you see the organic conflicts that come up between Kyle and Cartman (more so than Stan and Cartman, I notice. Cartman doesn't get under Stan's skin the same way. He inspires the warrior in Kyle).
But Cartman/Butters is so fabulous. Butters is actually sometimes at his strongest with Cartman. His relentless love of life wears him down and turns Cartman's schemes against him. Or else just rising above them because he never gets it. Sometimes there's even more of a turnaround, like in the one where Cartman thinks he's dead and Cartman is the only one who can see him, and he thinks he has to do good deeds to move on to heaven.
