South Park

[Raptor]

People that don't watch South Park, Daily Show and Colbert Report, always accuse their audiences of being dim witted or unintelligent. However, having been to a live recording of the Colbert Report, and judging from people I know that watch them, the people that watch these shows are incredibly intelligent. These shows force them to look at everything from all perspectives. They do not want something simple to make them laugh, they need some thought put into it. Others from the same age group that do not watch these shows have difficulty when it comes to critical analysis and often prefer television shows such as Jersey Shore or American Idol that does not stimulate your mind.

They pretty much get away with making fun of any race, political view, country, celebrity, and all but one religion. 

Actually, they presented that religion is a more idiotic way than any of the others, including the powder sniffing buddha. The only thing that dwarf it is the way they presented the PC fear of "what they will do".

I will admit, I used to think South Park was stupid and the bane of our country. And I will admit, I am no fan of fart jokes, etc. South Park has entire episodes I just cannot watch because they are simply foolish and pander to the lowest denominator.

However, there are far more episodes I find to be pure genious! The political satire they work into that show keeps me coming back!

Sigh...i despise South Park...this is the reason the rest of the world views us as an uncultured bunch of idiots who are only getting worse.

By pointing out what is literally true in the real world? South Park deliberately will say what is true, without any icing to the cake. They were absolutely correct on the first of the 2 part episodes talking about Mohammad in saying that a whole group would get very pissed at them.

I agree about he later two shows, and while South Park does hold a certain intellectual satirest property, it is so rude and vulgar that it, for the most part, disguises the show as a crude program that draws most of its laughs from blue humor.

Alternatively, those qualities cleanse itself of those that don't understand that life, in its essence, is rude and vulgar.

Also, with how preachy and political the show can get at times, the crude humor brings it back down to Earth and prevents it from becoming to ridiculous and pretentious.

I laugh at the sometimes complex social commentary humor SP has.

And I laugh at the fart jokes too.

 


I believe Medicinal Fried Chicken has worked it way into one of my favorite episodes of all time.  I laugh every time I think about all the men in town with testicular cancer bouncing down the street smoking weed (the music pulls it all together).  Not to mention the KFC rehab clinic.

Looks like Skuzzy has never watched South Park.  He took my Cartman avatar away (which I've had up for +5 years)!
