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!

    There’s literally a stream of cartoons with intent to offend as many people as possible. They’re all trash, but let me see how many I can look up real quick starting with dumb shit like Brickleberry or Paradise PD.

    Like, literally being as offensive as possible is the entire fucking schtick of Adam Corrolla’s Mr. Birchum, which just came out.

    Honestly, the ones that are try-hard offensive fucking fail miserably. There’s a lot of them. Stop pretending that taking risks is all it takes. You also actually have to have a pulse on social issues, which the South Park creators simply no longer do. People can be offensive and not funny. In fact, it’s way easier to just be offensive than it is to be offensive and funny. Most only succeed at being offensive.

    Companies want content that enrages people because they know that people get more involved with content they hate than content they love. They absolutely pour money into South Park copycats that try to go “anti-woke.”
