South Park: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Come on down to South Park and meet some friends of mine!"''|'''[[Primus (Music)|Les Claypool]]'''}}

'''''South Park''''' is an ([[Crosses the Line Twice|in]])famous [[Animated Series]] by [[Trey Parker and Matt Stone]], entering its sixteenthtwenty-fourth season{{when}} on [[Comedy Central]], and covering the misadventures of fourth grade school kids in the titular mountain town of South Park, Colorado: Stan Marsh, the [[Straight Man]] of the group; Kyle Broflovski, a morally fixated Jew; Eric Cartman, a fat, sarcastic sociopath; Kenny McCormick, a young pervert who is usually rendered unintelligible by his tightly drawn orange hoodie and has a tendency to die horribly; 'Butters' Stotch, a nervous, gentle boy with extreme naivite and a tendency to grow a spine at the most unexpected of moments. These five main boys and their friends, family and neighbors find themselves embroiled in all sorts of weirdness, ranging from cults, aliens, and monsters to exaggerated-for-comic-effect versions of [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines]] problems, to obvious parodies of action and family movies.

''South Park'' became highly controversial by [[Dead BabyBlack Comedy|being offensive in about as many ways possible]] - bad language, violence, nudity and perverse sexual references, and witheringly sarcastic, highly irreverent, and downright obscene approaches to race, religion, celebrities, politics, homosexuality, obesity, the mentally challenged and just about everything that's possible for people to get riled up over. To add fuel to the fire, all the main characters were children, and the animation was done in a deliberately crude, brightly colored style that made it [[Subverted Kids Show|look like it was made for or by pre-schoolers]].

The subjects they mock usually target Liberals, [[Fundamentalist|Fundamentalists]]s and [[Hollywood Atheist|actively hostile atheists]], [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]], Industrialists and Hippies, etc. Both sides of the debate are ''often'' mocked.

The movie based on the series had a short (for Hollywood) turn-around time as well. Just two years after the show premiered on TV, the world beheld the theatrical release of ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer and& Uncut]]''.
