No but I think I'm in the minoriety on this one.

Most of the humour always seemed childish or mean spirited. Not my kind of entertainment.

Yeah but I also value humor over politics anyway

Yes.

yeah

South Park has some great episodes/moments

No. Occasionally funny, but the times it is don't outweigh the times it's just outright harmful.
In simplicity, utility. Through utility, simplicity.
In a vacuum, yes. Like, I loved it as a kid, I think the movie is legitimately genius, still catch some of the episodes currently.. but I havent really enjoyed it in a long time. Ive outgrown it.

pretty similar to how I feel about Simpsons

For the most part yes.

I haven't watched much of it but it's pretty funny

yes and I can laugh at them making fun of left ideas

No, I find them insufferable and often support bigotry..

it can be funny at times but most of the time it's aggressively unfunny and repetitive. most of the episodes, especially the modern ones, love to beat you over with the "joke of the week" for the entire episode, and it either works or it falls completely flat

it's the most barebones, lazy political humor. i think the interactions of the kids can be amusing but i usually roll my eyes when i see the more melodramatic and "grand" episodes
yeah, the newer episodes aren't that great imo. pretty much everything post-tegridy farms is meh at best.

old episodes? still great and still hold up. I wish they stuck with the "bottle episode" format for the show, where each one had a confined story and could be watched in any order.
?
I've always thought South Park was super dumb
I think a real turning point for the worse for the show was when they started making shows in six days so they could fit current events into the show. They made that documentary and people were like wow they make these shows in six days!

and I was like.. what if we took two weeks? Maybe the jokes would be funnier
Used to like it, and there are some episodes I still enjoy (like You're Getting Old).

But it's gone on for far too long now.

South Park got old when I was like 15, no idea how it's still around.
Not familiar with many episodes so largely indifferent.

I kinda stopped at member berries last I heard from them is they got pretty lazy in their stories and rely heavily on randy and cartman to drive plots now with Kyle and Stan just being Brian like characters now where they just come off as bitter and cynical to everyone around them even each other and their dialog now reads like two youtubers talking at each other instead of to each other. Kenny I legit have no idea what his character even is anymore
A worthless existence

No, but not cause of its approach to politics. Just not a fan of edgy humor. It was cool as a middle schooler but not in my mid-30s.

They take a "both sides are bad" approach that I'm not to fond of but the shows still funny.

Yeah, it's just poop and fart jokes most of the time.

I used to a little bit as a kid. Now, it's not something I pay attention to or would go back to. I don't think I've seen a single episode in 10-15 years.

I liked South Park when I was younger, but I havent watched it in over a decade.


No. But it has nothing to do with politics.
Shplendid!

Honestly the episode where the kids are the protagonists are so much better than the Randy episodes in the last years(and Randy used to be one of my favourite characters) I don't need generic american dumb dad cartoon #38383 when the fun of south park was seeing adult's stupidity through the lens of naive kids

That's kinda weird of you to say cause they had to have started doing that in what, like the fourth or fifth season? I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but for the most part I recall a lot of fans practically don't even acknowledge the "pre current events" seasons. I didn't hate the super old seasons like some do but it definitely felt like an entirely different show in comparison.

It is interesting to think of how it would've turned out if they kept the early season approach to plotlines but with the time to hone their craft. Or like you said just given episodes more time to summer. I mean I guess you can see what the former is like cause they did keep a mix of episodes that were less topical. But those episodes almost always revolved around Cartman doing some heinous shit which got old, and then in the seasons after I stopped watching it sounds like it became a lot of Randy
Well the documentary was about the humancentipad episode which was from the fifteenth season, I havent seen the documentary in awhile but I thought I remembered it talking about how they used to take longer but it slowly got whittled down to less and less days until they settled in six days

if it was as far back as season four or five, then I guess its more they just ran out of funny ideas
When the jokes land, they really land. When the jokes don't land, it's ehh

Kinda the problem with the whole both sides thing is that taking shots at *everything* means some of it comes off real bad and due to some of the self referential jokes it's going to keep coming off real bad

The four main characters of modern South park are Kyle, Cartman, Randy and Butters. Stan is mostly filler and kenny barely appear

Yes, of course.

I love it for the most part, im so fucking tired of Tegridy Weed and season long storylines though. Also not a fan of the specials format either, just make a movie or dont make a movie. Just have separate episodes of the kids being kids and getting caught up in funny situations, with the adults as supporting cast.

I still like it, but it is not nearly as funny as it used to be.

I absolutely think the best South Park the last decade has not been the show, but Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. Very funny games.

An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.
I have not seen South Park for over a decade, but I never really got the appeal of the series. Always seemed too crude to me

It's too crude for me, but it also has genuinely made me laugh out loud back when I did used to watch it, and when I pop it on every once in a while. It does make genuinely clever observational comedy.

I have seen a lot of people on this board claim that it's a discreet alt-right show, which is eye roll inducing.
I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too! Pour me some bubbly now it's all you gotta do!
not anymore.

more recently, it's just that they keep using the same joke for each episode, over and over, and it doesn't come off as clever as they think.

the last time the series was funny, IMO, was when it first started using a consistent storyline rather than a more episodic one.

It's because of how they pick who gets to be the villain on the show that it ends up looking that way. It's not intentional. If someone is abrasive, they're the villain. It doesn't matter what their stance is.

Rob Reiner is a bit of a jackass when it comes to how antismoking he is, so they're pro-smoking. They've defended some dumb things because of it.
