Sloppy: Apr 25, 2003; Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

It was really hit or miss the last few seasons but definitely picking up again. Still not as good as Beavis and Butthead, the definitive high water mark for all funny cartoons ever.

South Park may be the worst show to ever air on US television. Clearly the worst ever is Dr. Who.

See, like I can get someone saying it is still decent enough to watch. But to be like yeah this is really good, idk. You can see what it was like when it was good for yourself by watching the oldest episodes. Should make things clear.

Dude the first season is painfully unfunny to watch. It was painfully unfunny in like 2004. It relied so heavily on "children swearing!!! A CHEF SINGING A SONG ABOUT SEX!!!" which were outrageous in 1997 but pretty much no longer outrageous by 1999. Or around the time when Cartman tricked Scott Tenorman into eating his parents.

Agreed that this season is one of the best in a long time, even though a couple of episodes were basically boring.

But the Oculus Rift episode was amazing. And #Rehash included some of the best social commentary the show has had in ages.

At first, the novelty of it made it an enjoyable watch back when it started.

But it's such poo poo and has been for a while. Like how can people enjoy this poo poo? Why do people like Cartman?

Parker and Stone are try hards.

I haven't seen South Park in a long time but I enjoyed it when I did watch it.

It was funny if you don't take it all too seriously. If you're watching it for political reasons I don't think you're doing it correctly. Should probably check the manual on that.

the epi where they went zip lining and turned real while on a boat was funny

chaosbreather: Dec 9, 2001; Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

sorry op but this season apart from the last one has been killing it

it is transitioning into the randy show, which is the best direction they could possibly take it

People sure are expressing extreme and opposing opinions on southpark. Perhaps both sides are idiots and the truth lies in some sort of quasi-libertarian third-wayist middle ground?

Mr. Meagles: Apr 30, 2004; Out here, everything hurts

If you are out of options and have to watch some TV to get on with your lovely life and make it to tomorrow you can do worse than South Park.

Imagine every show on cable TV is a space on the Price is Right showdown wheel. If you spin and it rolls on the nickel you have to watch the hit reality show Dance Moms. On this scale South Park is worth at least 90 cents.

I don't know how else to explain this to you

I can agree with that, but that doesn't change that I still think south park is garbage. Other things being worse doesn't make something good.

They have a different sense of humour to yours OP. There's your answer. Judging by what you've said in this thread I'm going to argue that those people are all objectively correct in their tastes.

Season 12 of Family Guy is on Netflix. Ive been laughing my butt off all night.

Its something to watch I guess; Its not as funny as it used to be.

It doesnt point out how we are all aging.

Like south park does.
