Why South Park Isn’t Awesome
Right now, Comedy Central is airing the 12th season of “South Park”. When the show first aired, I was in college and, much like every 20-year old male, worshiped the show. I have watched the first two episodes of this season and, well, I am not impressed.
The problem is that the first two episodes of this season haven’t pushed the envelope, but instead, have been obnoxiously crude. Last week, the episode dealt with AIDS. I won’t lie…I have laughed at stand-up comedians (Louis CK) and other funny things (“Family Guy”) that have made jokes about AIDS. The problem with “South Park” is that it was a 30-minute AIDS joke. That really isn’t funny.
Then, last night, the “South Park” guys decided to make their own personal “Leave Britney Alone” video. I don’t have a problem with that, heck, I even agree with them. The problem was the delivery. It was sick, gross, twisted, and hypocritical. They took shot after shot at Britney and the entire time, tried to show how obsessed Americans are with her. Don’t get on your high horse and try and tell the world to leave her be, then sixty seconds later, turn around and make jokes about her weight. I’m not a Britney supporter, in fact, she is a complete whack-job.
Maybe Trey Parker and Matt Stone have run out of shocking topics? Maybe they are getting a bit too mean as they get older? Maybe my tolerance for sick humor has decreased as I have gotten older? Whatever it is, “South Park” has become a bit too twisted for me.

Cinematically Correct 
Actaully, you missed the point. The Britney jokes were actaully not supposed to just be a ‘joke’, they were to point out how shallow the media can be when covering someone who they should be decent about and back off, instead of explioting.
and they didnt exploit britney either? not at all? not one bit?
that was kind of the point
do you want to suck my dick
or do you want me to suck yours
No, I get it…it’s just not funny.
i think you just got aids from britney spears. quit being such a downer. LONG LIVE SP
stfu fanboy south park sucks big shit
Based on viewer ratings (and my personal) opinion you are in the minority
I think the problem is the first two episodes of season 12 have been “one-punchline” jokes. There was only one real punchline in episode 1, i.e., the cure for AIDS is cash. Episode two didn’t even really have much in the way of humor; rather than one punchline, it kinda had one “point,” the point being that America is stupidly obsessed with tearing down its icons. Valid… but not enough to carry a whole episode by itself with out more creative humor along for the ride.
That is exactly it. You are right on the money John. Each episode has been one joke and that is it.
im nearly as gay as you
It’s not about getting old, age has nothing to do with it. I am the same age as Trey Parker and unlike him my sense of humor has remained intact. This show has just changed on an epic scale and is not funny anymore. I have been reading south park fans reactions to the Britney episode and am shocked to see that so many people thought it was “hilarious” and “genius” while the rest of us who thought it sucked are being told we just “didn’t get it”. I for one “got it”, and have been trying to get rid of it ever since. This episode was disappointing on many levels, mostly because, as Will says in comment #1, it “wasn’t supposed to be a joke”. Well excuse me Will, but isn’t South Park supposed to be funny? And if South Park isn’t joking anymore than what good is it?
I had been waiting anxiously for season 12 – up to season 11 there had still been sterling episodes in each season. Admittedly some were average, but there were still various comic moments throughout each episode – the dialogue and characterisation has been great, one of the main reasons why I’m still watching this thing.
Season 12 has been a disappointment so far, though. I understand that there are messages in each episode, and I recognise that it isn’t overly crass for the sake of being offensive or controversial. In fact, perhaps the messages are even more acute now than before. However, my main gripe is that it just isn’t funny anymore! The comic timing, the blend of slapstick and wit in scenes, it’s missing from these episodes. In previous episodes almost every scene had some sort of comic effect produced, whether slapstick or ironic. The few Season 12 episodes released as yet have few jokes – like the previous commenters say, just one underlying joke per episode, a joke that is stretched out and dissected to such an extent that it loses any comic effect that it may have had the potential to create. Most of the scenes aren’t so much of entertaining as just trying to further the plot, to make the point and contribute to the underlying joke (which by then has grown stale), while the previous success of South Park lay in some of the dialogue, which played expertly with viewers’ expectations and perverting them to great comic effect.
I’d watched 1201 and 1202: there was still a semblance of humour, and yes, they had a purpose, they had messages out for the viewers, if not humourously presented. However, the recent episode 1205: Eek, A Penis!, was just horrible and crass, even for South Park standards. The subplot (in fact, one of the two equally trivial plotlines in the episode) of Mr Garrison chasing his transplanted escaping penis was simply ludicrous and gross, to put it plainly. I didn’t even get what message South Park was trying to put across in this. The other plotline, of Cartman teaching the black children to cheat, was slightly more comprehendable, but there was really only one joke reiterated over and over.
To be honest, I wasn’t never big on the sexual and insensitive humour portrayed by South Park, but what offset all these in the past was the great dialogue, the comic timing, and everything else that allowed it to survive despite its mediocre graphics. However, I’m not seeing any of this in the latest season.
I don’t know about you guys but I’m European. ‘Nuff said.
About the show, I don’t understand it anymore. When I first saw it I was 12 years old and my reaction was “Oh my god they’re swearing on tv, how funny, especially the *Bleep* sounds. When I was 15 I couldn’t see the point in the show anymore. Messing with cencorship in US ain’t that big. It ain’t even funny to begin with. What are Matt&Trey thinking? “Look at us! We are showing a penis on a mouse on tv and we show this ’cause we can!”
As with the jokes, where are they? An episode usually contains a running joke of some sort which isn’t funny, especially when it is repeated again and again. And the “jokes” are just plain randomness, like penis-on-a-mouse, where the funny thing is, well, penis-on-a-mouse. It is absurd, but not absurd humor. It is just a penis-on-a-mouse. A thing. A noun. A thing every second grader could have invented.
The plot is just pure randomness too. Humor, no matter how insane, has a logic. But in South Park, every plothole and fallacity can be repaired with even a bigger plothole.
And what is with the second class American celebrities, phenomenas and movies? If that is satire, I think all the deceased European satirists and Mark Twain are spinning in their grave. South Park isn’t satire ’cause it barely makes any strikingly amusing statements about the society by using WIT! For example, taking Mel Gibson, making him a coprofilic sado-masochistic lunatic who goes around wearing only his undies isn’t neither truthful nor funny. M&T propably thought it would be funny ’cause he is, afterall, Mel Gibson. I mean, you could have made so many anti-semite related jokes on him, how he is denying everything and all but no; shit and sadism is all the viewers will get. Same goes with all the celebrity parodies that are sucking so hard we people here in Europe can barely keep our socks on.
I could break every episode into pieces ’cause by watching one, you’ve seen them all. They’re all just shit and celebrities with no real humour in them. M&T are just making these series ’cause they don’t know how to make anything else. Even know they’re propably laughing at the hardcore fanboys calling the newest episode “a masterpiece”. The joke is on you, viewer, and it isn’t funny.
i have balls
i am a dick i suck cock i like dicks up my bum and i like my dick up other peoplesbums and i am fuck ugly
I miss Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Animal Sanctuary.
oh yeah, and when South Park was funny back in 1998.
Towlie? for real?
towlie for the win more like.
Agree South park dose seem to have lost there touch. i enjoy watching the older Eps. more then newer ones. I have a pretty good feeling South park is coming to an end. Which is Sad but there just not as good anymore.
I blame Kenny, someone should kill him =P
true. Ever since kenny stopped dying its lost more of its touch. KILL KENNYYYYYY!!!
U have a jizzed up butthole from ur grandmas wiener
Totally disagree! I think it’s awesome! Only ONE single episode sucked donkeyballs out of over 10 seasons. And that was the episode all about “Pip”.
Though I can say that I once was a huge The Simpsons-fan, and now, I’ve found South Park as my source of a daily laugh. Simpsons just doesn’t cut it anymore. I like the cruelty that still isn’t more than a harmless joke. Making fun of Jarred, Britney Spears, Jimmy Buffett, Alan Jackson, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand and many other is pretty funny, and you know that it isn’t personal. Though they maybe went a little too far with the “Steve Irwin with a stingray in his stomach”-thing.
South Park still rules, though I miss Chef and Isaac Hayes!
South Park is ridiculous. That is the point. It’s a satire on current events. The only people who will understand this show are the ones who understand that our culture has problems. as far as the britney episode, it was great. What was funny? the attack on the media/american public obsession with britney. The weight/camel toe/peeing on a lady bug subjects were being used against the media in the show, not against britney. They were emphasizing that these topics were ridiculous to use against her just as many that are really used. For example making stories on how she’s lost her mind or her bad parenting (which is used in real life). I’m not sure how you all missed that but w/e.
it’s purely satirical. I love this show so much. If you don’t like it and feel so compelled to post in a forum about it. Fuck off…don’t watch it. Enough said. It’s an amazing show because it hits on current events. It’s beyond crude, but that is a “wow factor” that draws viewers. If it were appropriate it wouldn’t get any viewers, and forum’s like this power them even more…they need to make fun of you donkey dicks who post on this.
Sincerely,
Scrotie McBoogerballs
Absolutely correct. Making fun of stupid americans (like this guy).
will you have sex with me you horny bastard
You are fucking retarded. what are you looking for in this show? just for it to be an envelope pusher? well they pushed it and now it’s too sick and twisted for you. go cry about it you biggity bitch. Rule out the obscenities they add for dramatic effect (because thats all it is DRAMATIC EFFECT, which is damn hilarious) and get your head out of your ass and you will see that south park is truly one of the most glorious show’s ever made.
i am a dick head
wow. angry much?
and I think you mean biggot-y. however, what part of this post makes Mr CC a biggot? *sratches head*
i want sex ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck me!!!!!!!!!!
“sratches head”
Wow….I THINK u should get that jizz out ur butthole so u can stop failing at being a grammar Nazi
wow…glorious? what kind of acid are you on…things that are worshipped are described as glorious…..
as for south park…its really losing its mojo…fast…the last couple of episodes have been really …….really weak…like the pinewood derby car episode…complete garbage…or the fishsticks joke….im like fuck already man
Wow….get ur uncles jizz out ur b/hole and go watch murder she wrote
dude here is the thing. you were around 20 when it south park first started. this means that you are around 32 now. see as you grow you mature. this means that the shit you thought was once funny is now immature. therefore south park today, for you, isn’t funny. seeeeeeeee. so pretty much screw you guy. i’m going home
Anonymous is right. It’s like they say in that Red vs. Blue PSA about tattoos:
“You are a goddamn idiot, and I would like to prove this mathematically if I may. Take your current age. Subtract 10 years from it. Were you smart back then? No, you were a goddamn idiot. Truth is, you’re just as much of an idiot now, it’s just going to take you 10 more years to realize it.”
I’m a 20 year old college student. While I will admit there is the occasional dud episode, I think this show still kicks ass.
south park is dumb now,12 years is long enough.i just wacthed the show an didnt laugh once.the shows just burned out an thats normal.think about it how many shows do you watch for 12yrs.if it was your first time watching the show you wouldnt be to impressed because it 2009 an show the same as it started
I used to love this show. I’m 21 now and I think the show has really been losing its edge. The last couple seasons just haven’t been funny. The humour is so dry and plain. It usually happens eventually with all shows. I mean look what happened to The Simpsons. I duno i hope for the sake of south park they can come out with something spectacular this season. But I won’t be counting on it.
If ur bumhole wasn’t so packed with man jizz the jokes wouldn’t go over ur dumbass head
the aids one was genius.. cause the only cure for aids is money get it?
Holy shit are you serious?!
Put on your retard cap and watch South Park, again! This show is the exact opposite of what it used to be. Now they just try to be as absolutely obnoxious as they can because they realize that nobody can do anything about it because of our legal system. And the Age thing? Complete bullshit, what did you base your logic off of? Red Vs Blue? Whos that written by? 9 year olds? If not then 9 year olds at heart and their opinion doesnt mean shit because they make halo movies with their spare time. Seriously? Let me base my logic off of Candyland, thatll make for a good argument. Im 16 and South Park for the last 3 years has just been stupid with if lucky 2-3 laughs MAX, the older ones are hilarious. Oh and everyone I know says I have a great sense of humor, so blow me if you think im humorless. To those of you little South Park fanboys, who 30$ says you werent even there for the old episodes of South Park, go back to your 60 IQ show with your helmet and your pudding cups and try not to make a mess while the people who dont fail at life laugh at you. Which is the only funny thing about South Park.
Everyone u know is retarded. And u have man jizz in ur buttvajayjay btw.
I agree that age has nothing to do with whether the show sucks or not. Let’s face it south park has simply turned to shyte since season 12, and I for one am no longer in the mood to keep watching and hoping “next week gets better”. I took this piece of shyte off my tivo menu cause I don’t want to waste the space on it anymore.
And WTF did the show turn ghetto?? kanye west, michael jackson and tonight with the black pimps coaching butters. What a turnoff this show is shyte.
the steve irwin part really pushed it over the line for me im 21 and have been loving south park since the fifth grade now i just see it as a show that doesnt have any respect towards any body last nights episode making a joke based around the atomic bombing of japan will never be funny just offensive its like matt and trey have lost all of the creativity that used to make them funny and now just seem to need to rely on the controversy its doubtful we will see any hilarious episodes like gingervitis anymore south park has over stayed its welcome
riley is write this show doesnt have any of the spark and creativity that made it funny orginally. Now the writers rely on controversy to push the show. Much like that idiot fred durst needs to cuss to get any one to pay attention to the “awesome” music he puts out.
Derek chows on man jizz.
I remember– I was like the only girl in the world that absolutley LOVED South Park (when I was seven lmfao) and I got all my other female friends to watch it when I was like thirteen. They think it’s sooo funny now but it really isn’t. The only funny episodes right now is the Jonas Brothers episode, the Kanye West episode, the HSM episode, Dead Celebrities, Major Boobage, Breast Cancer Show Ever, and the Eek a Penis. The rest are sooo not even funny like at all. And I was super disappointed at the Vampire/Twilight episode. I freakin LOVE Twilight but I love to laugh so if they made fun of Twilight I would think it would be ten times funnier (for example I love the Jonas Brothers and the Jonas Brothers episode of South Park is my favorite episode because they made fun of JB perfectly it was friggin hilarious) the Twilight episode did not get one chuckle out of me. And I know that Trey and Matt can do a way better job.
Season 8 was the best season EVVERRR it’s soo funny.
All in all–South Park stopped being funny after season 10.
yeah it does seem like the whole point of the show now is to be as obnoxious as they possibly can….I guess that means Matt and Trey both fall under the new definition of “fag” ohhh the irony
you fall under the new definition of fag.
What the hell happened to South Park!? It used to be funny.. I haven’t seen anything in while from this show that seriously made me laugh, or even entertained me for that matter… The Simpsons, Family Guy, and now South Park.. WTF? I guess after awhile you just run out of funny clever things to do in an animated series before it loses it’s creative or funny edge… South Park just seems desperate now. I hate to say it, but I find myself laughing more watching lame reality TV shows that currently air versus the new material that’s on South Park now a days. And no it’s not me changing my opinion on what’s funny, or loosing my sense of humor. -It’s because this show JUST ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE.
Oh and to all those who think it’s the same show it was 10 plus years ago, go ahead and do this.. watch season 1-3 then immediately afterward watch 11-13 and tell me there isn’t a difference in the comic genius behind the show. There has obviously been a major negative change to this show. (Somewhere between seasons 8-10 it started to go down hill in my opinion, now its in the gutter.)
I don’t know, This show needs SOMETHING. It’s just lacking so many things now. They’re loosing more and more fans after each episode they push out there. It’s almost like they just don’t care to try anymore. It’s sad. The last 2 seasons have had the lowest ratings thus far in the shows history not to mention tons and tons of negative reviews from their fans. For god sakes the show hasn’t won any major awards since 2005! it’s almost 2010… wow.
Is it just me, or is the Office on NBC like the only edgy FUNNY comedy show left on TV?!
South Park IS twisted! The world (along with its crude humor) is more twisted then ever! Being 15, (and LOVING South Park!) I know for a fact that South Park pretty says what my friends and I (and almost all other teens) joke about! Maybe your just old, mister!! xP
XoXo, Penn G.
*Its better uncensored, its ALWAYS better unsencored*
Btw, All you Uncle Fuckas, if you were true SP fans…you wouldnt be dissing it. Opinion or not, Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny will always be awesome, the best animated kids ever and so much better then dumb ass Peter Griffin from Family Guy. (That show was written by manatees.)
XoXo, Penn G.
Ok, Yes south park is no longer as funny as it used to be, but what animated series running for more than 6 years is? Simpsons? No, Family guy? Not even & South Park is Definitely not an exception.. The writers of these shows never seem to know when to end it. 12 seasons? *face palm* NO WAY IN HELL will a show be as sharp, witty and Humourus as it was 12 SEASONS AGO! people eventually run out of ideas hence the sudden obsession south park has with Current events.. Please Cut it out just be thankful we were around to see south park in its PRIME..*sigh* i weep for todays generation
Brooklyn Mook is Right. 12 FuCKING SEASONS????? OMG!!!! thats way too long for an animated series. i saw this coming 4 years ago when south park was, well… STILL AIRING NEW EPISODES.. Matt & Trey are just money hungry assholes who dont care about the credibility of their show just how much more pay checks they can milk from the name. eventually they will get canceled Just trying to figure out WHY THE SIMPSONS ARE STILL ON?! FOX PLEASE CANCEL THAT PIECE OF DOO-DOO IT ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE AND HARDLY WAS TO BEGIN WITH -FAMILY GUY FTW
Suck a dick 19 seasons now!!!!!!
as i slowly sip from this warm bottle of Remy Martin, watching old jackass episodes on MTV2, and reading these completely Moronic comments on this site full of underage, sex starved teenagers possibly baked out of their own existence (yes i am speaking of marijuana & possibly more serious intoxication’s such as acid, mushrooms, cocaine, crack, heroine, etc…) I quietly ponder to myself, what was the last South Park episode i remember watching? and that happened to be the Charles Manson episode they were re-running on CW-11 a couple weeks ago (about 1am, 1:30am i believe) and I remember saying to myself “this show never really was funny” and to stumble upon this page is pure uncut GLORY, thanks a bunch for the laughs guys. -Charles Winston Jr.
SOUTH PARK RULES MONKEY BALLS YOU GUYS ARE ALL JELOUSE YOU ARENT STAN KYLE CARTMAN OR KENNY THEY ARE FRIKIN RICH BY NOW! WONDER IF THEY STILL LIVE IN SOUTH PARK DOUBT IT PROLLY IN COLORADO SPRINGS SOMEWHERE WITH THE RICH FOLKS GOOD FOR THEM THOUGH!! SP FTW!!!!!!
you do know, even though you probably dont, south park is a made up cartoon by matt stone and trey parker??
I watched an occasional episode between the years. A friend of mine, who is a fan, consistently tries to convince me of its merits. I, at last relented, downloaded a few episodes, and stopped the files halfway between the first two episodes. Mainly to feed my curiosity, I was determined to search Google to find out about the show’s appeal.
I have to agree with CW. I, too, stumbled upon this site and found more chuckles in the reactions of fans than the show itself. That SOMEONE FEELS TYPING THEIR MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS MAKES IT MORE COMPELLING more or less proves his hypothesis.
South Park is not funny. It never was funny. Ever. Not when I was 15 when it first came on the air. Not when I was a 20 year old college student. And certainly not now, nor while under the influence of alcohol or any kind of drug. It’s the modern, functional equivalent of a long whooppee cushion gag. At least it’s the ultimate youtubeable show. You can catch the funny bits after and not have to wade through 20 minutes of poorly drawn filler.
How its fans can say it’s better than the Simpsons is quite understandable, since its more nuanced satire would tend to go over the heads of those who appreciate fart jokes. The Simpsons are its worst when they try to replicate the South Park model. Even Family Guy is miles ahead. The first 3 seasons (appropriately enough, when more comparable to South Park) are just utter rubbish. Thankfully, that show has mellowed out and isn’t going for the exclusively shock-jock approach to gags, which makes it passable and occasionally entertaining.
Maybe South Park can learn from them.
I’m trying to watch this show, seriously, and I can’t understand why people watch it… it’s absolutely unfunny and the animation is just… probably the worst I’ve ever seen in my life.
I heard a lot of people saying the old episodes were better so I downloaded the 1st season and stills pure crap.
I studied cinema/tv production in college so I was doing this as research more than anything, I do love shows like Family Guy, The Simpsons, etc. but I really can’t watch 10 minutes of Southpark without getting extremely bored and annoyed by the animation.
im going to make you eat your parents.
I think u people r sad discussing this. if you dont like it, dont watch it, but don’t ruin it for everyone else by blogging your opinion as if people care# duh?
# i realise that people also dont give 2 shits about my opinion, but anyways…
i enjoy reading your name.
Dude ur a twat
i know i am but i am also a dick
ok you guys, here is the problem with this article. You complain about South Park being crude and vulgar, but you are forgetting something. The fundamental idea of South Park is to be sick, gross, and crude. You are missing the point. The spirit of South Park is to teach a lesson. To expose the flaws in society, and to do it in their own, individual way. The sick, gross, and crude way. We should be openly welcoming this new form of individuality and difference. We shouldn’t complain about how it doesn’t meet “our” standards. Society needs a change like this more than anything else. Let us welcome these new ideas with a hopeful heart and an open mind. This is individualism. This is the future. This is the first amendment. This is the very new idea, of Freedom.
Scrotie McBoogerballs FTW!!!
I totally agree with that especially the parts when they talk about “gingers”!
your a ginger.
i’m fiveteen and from west europe. i’ve seen all episodes , and I’m still lovin’ it:) it is just so freakin’ funny!
Maybe, when i grow up, i’ll see it’s not all that funny… but i sure hope not!
i love you, you fraking awesome hoe!
by the way, i’ve just seen a clip from the latest episode and it’s fuckin hilarious!
none of you understand the britney episode. they dnt care how the media treats celebrities they were simply showing how humerous it is, that we actually care so damn much about celebrities. People who watch that garbage on tmz and other rediculous pop culture channels are actually fueling the fire for it. that is what i think there message was and i thot they conveyed it pretty creatively. Do you honestly think Matt and Trey give a shit about some pop diva that was probably on drugs when she went on her psycho spree. i mean really get a clue!
Yeah the britney spears episode was kinda stupid imho. Yeah it did have punchline but not really valid enough to carry one episode. Especially how they shpwed Americans kill britney and then harvest crops, was totally dumb. But the rest of the eps were still good.
You people need to realize: This is a cartoon. If you like it, shut up and quit talking about how great it is. If you hate it, quit being such jerks about it.
It’s a freaking CARTOON for God’s sake.
I don’t dislike South Park because it’s crude, vulgar or twisted. Crude humor is funny to me. I’m a fan of Troma, prank phone calls and the occasional dick and fart joke. South Park just isn’t funny in any realm at all though. The comic timing is non existent, the voices are unfunny in their forced attempt to be funny, it’s not even remotely clever and the creators come off like pompous, self righteous assholes. So often a friend will ask me to sit through some part of this show, telling me how funny it’s going to be. So often I’ve kept an open mind and watched said clip or scene and am forced to politely laugh, hoping they’ll get the hint and not show me any more clips, because it’s honestly not funny at all. I’ve been drunk and watched episodes, I’ve been stoned and watched episodes, and nothing kills a buzz for me quite like being forced to sit down and watch this horrible show. Having pseudo satirical topical debates with a goofy voice isn’t funny to me, and it never will be funny. It takes no talent to write what they write, it’s cheap prodding that any high school stoner could pull off. People only like South Park because other people like South Park. Plain and simple. The people who watch South Park: fat pre-teen kids who wear wrestling t-shirts and talk about how badass it was that they heard bleeped out cuss words on comedy central, college douche bags who are reliving their glory days of when they were fat pre-teen kids who wore wrestling shirts and old people who think it’s hip and stylish for them to like foul mouthed cartoon characters and watch it for it’s “political satire”. No self respecting person could watch this show and actually enjoy it. It’s a piece a’shit show and how it’s stayed on the air as long as it has only proves that either Matt and Trey Parker are suckin’ a lotta corporate dick or the American people are trashier than I could have ever imagined.
I quit watching around season 8 after I felt it was phoned in or more likely handed over to an intern. Tuned back in and saw Imaginationland Part 1, some of Part 2. Three episodes…REALLY? There were no jokes I can remember. Perhaps Cartman said “jew” and Kyle said “shut it fatass” a few times. 66 minutes of garbage. I skipped part three and the rest of the shows.
Those that say it’s an age thing are way off. Since South Park has been on so long I still see a funny one I have not scene every now and then. It’s always an old one. If the show were the same and my sense of humor matured I would not think it was funny. I didn’t change. Production of South Park changed. See dumb ones (newer) and keep turning.
My sense of humor matured. Yeah that why I started watching family guy three years ago. It’s a real Masterpiece theater. That show started to suck the moment Seth signed his 100 million dollar deal and spent time trying to make a joke out of that terrible Cleveland show. Family guy is now one joke shows that is really no joke, 30 second dead silence gaps and repetitiveness for the sake of less joke writing and political statements.
Shows just go bad cause production is lazy. Last season of Seinfeld sucks. About 8 Good shows and 22 unwatchable ones in the extended season. If My humor changed I would not recognized 8 good ones and would not still watch the bulk of the series minus those 22 awful shows. I got a sense of humor. Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t. His favorite shows are the ones I hate the most. Chinese Restaurant? That episode sucked as did the last one. Seinfeld went to hell when he took over for Larry David. Anything good Seinfeld did must have been lying around or written by someone else.
ya ‘ I agree
south park is the WORST SHOW in history.they stay with the same joke for the 30 mins the air
not only is it not funny,they are now trying to be funny,they should fuck off and quit’I saw the one about the handicapt camp and the dont even look like that,
so here’s to south park,
the worst show in history.
YOU. hey there jew-boy. i can tell your either ginger with no soul or a familey guy supporter who cannot admit it was made by manatees. go get a life you whore, go grow a jew-fro!
comments like this are the best reason to cancel SP: we need to save America’s youth. The older fanboys like this are a lost cause. They need to be put down.
Just one question…whom are you trying to convince. I understand that the longer u live in this fucked up world the more you lose your homour sensitivity. What i don’t understand is people saying that southpark was never funny…clearly those people prefer the “fartjokes” kind of humor that requires a minimum amount of thinking and i truly feel sorry for them… And lastly i what would like to say to the writter of this delightful topic is tha t i personally love southpark and i think that Trey and Matt are geniouses but i don’t feel the urge to post it online in order to fill my emptyness
You should have titled this “Why I don’t watch South Park anymore” or “Why I still watch South Park but don’t know why”. You can’t claim that South Park is or isn’t awesome because the perception of awe varies from person to person. To argue over opinions is menial since they cannot be proven, thus the discussion should end unless there is a presentation of facts. Either way, I’m going to sleep.
@52 thats what makes it so good. how its all building up around a joke and they have some other jokes. while family guy doesnt really have one big joke they are just completely random, created with any excuse to do so but saying that i dont mind family guy its good but its these south park episodes where its about one joke and it just gets hilarious at the end
Tre and Matt-
Ideal’s Creativity Right and Wrong-All of the things i posted what ever you guys beleive in you put the most radical sides to all of the subjesct in your episodes..When i was 16 i had a bad trip..if i had watched your show i dont think that would have happend at all..You guy’s taught me life lessons through comedic creativity..weather or not everyone agrees with me i think they all know this country and alot others are alot better off with what you guys have done already..Southpark’s still awesome-this wasnt a fan posting..it was more of a thankyou..cant wait to see what you do next..nick
Dude this stuff should not be taken seriously
pussy
ass
i think its cool and if you dont thats your problem and dont go putting things up saing its bad get over it and change the channel watch the weather than and be boring
South Park was great… when I was 12.
Britney episode (especially the ending) = Parody of “The Wicker Man”, with Nicholas Cage!
C’mon, you’re looking too far into this!
Haha your an idiot. South Park is still awesome. I am out of college and watch it frequently. South Park’s humor is evolving, like all great artists do. Why is Radiohead so awesome? The Beatles? “Always evolving” were George Harrison’s words. South Park used to be crude, character building jokes. Now it relates to current events, still maintaining their foundational crudeness.
The best part is that they are constantly making fun of (dumb) Americans, like this guy, who can’t even tell. I feel like I just read something written by Issac Hayes (old voice of Chef) who got pissed about South Park making fun of Scientology.
No other show does what South Park does, which is why it is so great.
Here’s the thing that I don’t understand about haters: If you hate it so much, why don’t you just ignore it and do something that you actually like. Here’s what I don’t understand about fanboys: If you like something enough to waste time trying to convince people who don’t like to like it, then why are you wasting your time anyway. Just ignore the haters and do what you enjoy. I understand that people need to express their opinion sometimes, I mean, where would our world be without freedom of expression? But why waste time being here, writing something that will be forgotten about an hour after someone who sees?(I’m being a total hypocrite by the way, but still, I have a valid point to make.) Really, I think that just ignoring something that you don’t like, or just ignoring the haters and doing something you do like would just stop all of this retarded arguing. Thank you if you actually read this whole thing.
your welcome.
i dont get this, especialy since im a huge SP supporter. I find most of the old eps histerical yh, but the new ones are more original and you need to take it into acount that matt and trey are on their 15th season! im shocked that all you people watch familey guy. it was proven they were made by manatees in season 10 in cartoon wars! Damn all you tom cruse supporters, im surprised he came out stans closet.
-lizzie xxx
p.s. by the way, agreeing with matt + trey, SCREW SCIENTOLOGY!<3
im gay
I’m gay
TO jenny .
I know this CHICK and she is thee absolute most pathetic human being i have ever met in my entire life!
That “30 minute AIDS joke” and the crude delivery of Britney Spears is part of the satirical nature of South Park. A satire is a comedic expression of social and political issues. Because South Park is a satire, they spend every episode making fun of issues in everyday life and express their own values. If it was a single joke about a single issue, it wouldn’t be a satire, but a just another comedy show.
As ridiculous as it sounds, if you could appreciate South Park’s humor from a literary perspective to break down the messages being expressed, you may find more enjoyment in the show. Enjoy the show for what it is: a satire. Don’t get offended and don’t start becoming “proper” about it. Instead, recognize it and learn to laugh at the absurdity of our everyday lives.
U only don’t like it cuz ur humor leaked out ur tiny penis when u jizzed in ur moms butthole.
Your all retarded and dont understand the “smarter” comedy.
Ya you are faggot. Think your funny just saying “I’m gay”. Retarded 10 year old
OML whats so funny about the britney spears episode i mean… It wasnt funny at all i didnt have to laugh one time i was actually crying cuz it was fucked up sad to see her dying cuz of bitches and hoers in south park who wanted mais :l it was really sad if your asking me.
The instant you lost your credibility on a source of knowledge of humour was when you said that South Park isn’t funny and Family Guy is funny. You are just a poop joke aficionado and have no merit in talking about real comedy.
Ok it’s four years later, and you are right it isn’t funny, It’s fucking hilarious!!!! Matt and Trey are brilliant, and they continue to prove it. South Park just keeps getting better and more hilarious, although there are quite a few that are not so good but you can tell they did it on purpose.
South Park has an extremely obnoxious and sometimes disturbing sense of humor. It doesn’t deserve to be appreciated or even aired as the storyline, characters, jokes and animation are all extremely bad. South Park is possibly the worst show I’ve ever seen.
No I am 13 and even I find it offensive the humor is all about terminal illness, drugs, sex, or death I watch tosh.o and find that a more successful comedian than a couple of animated children running around I love roast comedy too but South Park is more offensive
Entirly subjective article. If you do not think South Park is worth watching anymore, just stop watching. You do not have to write an article about why everyone else should do the same. I watch both South Park and Family Guy. They both make me laugh. I think South Park has a bit more food for thought then Family Guy, but that’s just me.
Since the admin of this site is working, no uncertainty very shortly it will be famous, due to its quality
contents.
Wow, this article is fastidious, my sister is analyzing such things,
so I am going to inform her.
Dont let the packaging fool you into buying something that may damage your hair.
3Â Coconut oil: To have a beautiful, shiny hair and stimulate hair growth,
give yourself a scalp massage with warm coconut oil once a week.
It only leaves a lustrous sheath on the hair and
gives it a beautiful look rather and the greasy effect
that is left by the usual hair oils. Ideally, prepare the day before dilution and in the evening, put the mixture
in the palm of your hand and apply and hold
your hair and scalp. 5 ml Kalonji Oil mixed
at a hot drink after supper gives a quiet sleep all during the night.
After application the hair is simply dried, either naturally
or using a drier. Likewise, using imported shampoos and conditioners from a tropical country when your climate is cold and temperate is not such a
good idea. It is designed for professionals so you know you’re getting top performance.
Well, I believe South Park is still hilarious, intelligent, and good overall. Of course the past seasons cannot be topped, but keep in mind that I’m a big fan. Hence my Name.
actually it is not intelligent at all. what is so intelligent about it? saying fuck on tv doesn’t cut it anymore its not funny. maybe to a bunch of twelve year olds yes but No not to adults. mature adults that is.
Its funny how you only see the show for is the use of the “f word” and dont see the humor and Relevance to current events behind it. Seems like you’re implying adults how like the the show are immature, yet all you see in the show is cursing as a child would.
You my friend are a retard I will refer u to the rob Reiner epsiode where they make fun of rob Reiner for telling smokers they are unhealthy and make bad choice mean while rob Reiner is fat as fuck and is probably worse off than the smokers they use satire and irony in every episode
Hello would you mind letting me know which web
host you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet
browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a fair price?
Many thanks, I appreciate it!
I have been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thanks, I will try and check back more frequently. How frequently you update your website?
Your all ffing stupid so they had one bad episode. The aids one was really funny it had more than one joke in it you dumbasses god your all so stupid
You’re a a closed minded person who doesn’t quite understand the humor, and
Old article. I don’t care. Best thing about South Park is it’s not Family Guy. Family Guy is actually not awesome. It’s the flagship show for the current generation of retards.
They were not telling people to leave Brittany alone that’s not their style they almost never defend people especially Brittany spears they aren’t on any high horse they are making fun of the people who are obsessed with spears and they are making fun of Brittany spears for being a dumb bitch
You obviously didn’t watch the episode, the show was clearly trying to be emotional and portrayed Britney in a sympathetic light. The episode was criticizing the media and the American public for their blood lust. The episode even compared Americans’ desire to see Britney destroyed to Roman gladiator combat and human sacrifice which most people agree are barbaric. If the show was attacking people just for being interested then they would have never bothered to have the boys try to save her or make the episode such a dark and unsettling one. If the show was what you thought it was, then they would have portrayed all parties involved badly. They also would have made more jokes about average American people being sheep rather than portraying them as cruel and bloodthirsty like they did on that episode.
Oh and btw, it’s Britney not Brittany.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

The fact is SOUTH PARK HAS ALWAYS SUCKED. IT’S SHIT! Call me a nerd, but I remember the days when tv shows had an actually plot. South Park has never in a million years had this, and just throw jokes in to make people watch. Now, my plan is to cancel this garbage, and bring back Futurama, a show that was always underrated, unlike this show, that hasn’t been underrated enough.
Why the is every complaining about there being no punch line? Why does there have to be constant punch lines in order for it to be considered comedy? It’s a ridulous show. It’s not standup. I think constant punch lines are cheesy as fuck. If the comedy isn’t for you, put on Simpsons or maybe watch Jeff Dunham and his hilarious puppets. That’s probably the comedy you’re looking for.
Excellent goods from you, man. I’ve understand
your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely excellent.
I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you are stating and the way in which you say it.
You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep
it sensible. I can not wait to read far more from
you. This is actually a wonderful web site.
South Park is unfunny dogshit.
Well i thought the Spears episode was hilarious
