South Park (TV Show) (lemmy.world)

My question to you guys here is :

Do you like watching South Park? If not, why?

I understand that the jokes in it can rub a lot of people the wrong way especially when they make fun of religious groups, race and current day first world problems.

Personally I've enjoyed the show ever since I watched earlier seasons on DVD years ago. I just find the humor and some of the moments give you that shock kind of laughter "They really put that in there??"

So what's your view? Do you watch it? Do you hate it? You thought of watching it?

Let me know!

The first seasons were great, good to re-watch. But it's like they kind of gave up since season 10 or so. The characters, topics and the humor are all different now.

Huh for me the first few seasons can be rough to rewatch, but the later seasons are great.

I disagree with you, but I'm upvoting anyway, because it's refreshing to see preference for something else than the seasons "everyone" likes.

Now that's a rare take. Usually the first 2 seasons are regarded as the worst and have very childish humour compared to later ones.

Season 10 is pretty much the start of peak South Park. It had the Cartoon Wars two parter and the iconic Warcraft episode. Also introduced ManBearPig and the "Nice" meme ...

I think my least favourite season would be the 20th which is the whole Garrison as Trump story line. They really wrote themselves into a couple of corners with that one. Though the troll-trace subplot is amazing.

I know a bunch of people who lost interest over time around the same time as me, it's when they had this season-long storyline. Not sure which season it was.

The kids act too adult now, Chef disappeared, other common characters are rarely there anymore or changed completely (Garrison turned into Trump?), then the weed stuff / Tegrity, Warcraft – all not that great IMO.

Well... Chef didn't really disappear per sé...

That's an interesting story to read about if you don't already know
