Line 36:
* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]]: An interesting variant of sorts occurs with season 2's episode "Not Without My Anus." Although as mentioned above, Trey and Matt hate the entirety of seasons 1-3, that same interview has Parker stating Not Without My Anus to be the only episode they liked from the second season.
* [[McLeaned]]: "The Return of Chef," where Chef gets quite possibly the biggest bridge dropped on ''any'' character ''ever'', which is also an instance of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]], since Isaac Hayes was told to stop doing the show by The Church of Scientology.
* [[ReciprocalMutually Fiction ParadoxFictional]]: This trope even occurs within a single show: ''[[South Park]]'' and ''[[Show Within a Show|Terrance and Phillip]]'' have watched each other's television shows. This gets a bit muddled as Terrance and Phillip are "real" actors in the South Park universe with a television show the South Park kids watch, but the characters (one assumes) Terrance and Phillip play have watched ''South Park''. Do what now?
* [[Mutually Fictional]]: A ridiculous example in the first season finale and second season premiere; the characters [[Chekhov's Gun|see a promo for the movie "Not Without My Anus"]] and say [[Foreshadowing|they will watch it]], and in the second season premiere, which turned out to ''be'' "Not Without My Anus" itself, Terrence and Philip flip channels and watch part of the first season finale of ''South Park'' (where you can at least hear Cartman's name).
** It gets even weirder when you consider that Terrance and Phillip are referred to in-universe as cartoon characters.
* [[Reciprocal Fiction Paradox]]: This trope even occurs within a single show: ''[[South Park]]'' and ''[[Show Within a Show|Terrance and Phillip]]'' have watched each other's television shows. This gets a bit muddled as Terrance and Phillip are "real" actors in the South Park universe with a television show the South Park kids watch, but the characters (one assumes) Terrance and Phillip play have watched ''South Park''. Do what now?
*** They were originally meant to be a cartoon even cruder and more poorly animated than ''South Park'' itself. This was before the decision was made that all Canadian characters would be animated the same way as Terrance and Phillip.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: "201", anyone?
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Played straight at first and then [[Lampshaded]] pretty hard. Parker and Stone voice almost every character and even they admit they don't have much of a range.
