South Park is a strange show that is usually clever, but its jokes never seem strong enough to last for an entire episode.

Initially was not sure as to whether 'South Park' would be my cup of tea at all, despite being a huge fan of animation for all my life (and still very much am). But there have been many instances of films and shows that gave me conflictedInitially was not sure as to whether 'South Park' would be my cup of tea at all, despite being a huge fan of animation for all my life (and still very much am). But there have been many instances of films and shows that gave me conflicted feelings before watching, but turned out far better than expected and actually being very good or more.

Such is the case with 'South Park'. As of now, it is one of the highest rated shows on IMDb and was a huge ratings success when first aired, and no wonder. At its best, it's absolutely brilliant and one of the best and funniest shows there is to me. Thought that would never be said about a show known for dividing people with its controversial and "offensive" content, was not sure whether I would like it let alone love it and it ended up a favourite. Is it as good as it was? No, it's not as witty, daring or inventive now, but is still very funny and intelligent. That is only being said though because the earlier seasons are so good.

To me, 'South Park' is much better than other popular shows like 'The Simpsons' (originally fantastic, now has declined rapidly) and 'Family Guy' and Seth Macfarlane's other shows, which never did anything for me.

Can actually see though why some dislike it. A lot of the content is very controversial and not for the easily offended. The show is crude, extremely rude (possibly the rudest animated show ever), naughty, at times juvenile and less than subtle in its treatment of taboo subjects. At the same time, 'South Park' is hilarious, smart, witty and daring but also clever, sharp, irreverent and intelligent. The satirical humour is subversive and there are not many animated shows this daring, completely contradicting the tired and incredibly annoying cliché spouted constantly that animation is only for children (often by parents defending a panned family film).

Often one is shocked at how much 'South Park' gets away with, everything. Every subject and every everyday issues is covered and satirised it seems, nothing escapes the writers. While subtlety completely goes out the window, so much of what 'South Park' says has a huge amount of truth and relevance (both when it first aired and still very much so now). Like good satire should it does it in a daring and perhaps divisive fashion, not holding back and taking no prisoners. This should sound like a recipe for disaster, but actually to me it was why the show is so loved and admired.

There's more to 'South Park' than just the humour. The stories are very inventive, smartly constructed, cohesive, honest and relevant. The characters are some of the most memorable and iconic in recent animation, especially Cartman. Trey Parker and Matt Stone's voice work is a practical tour-De-force for both, both bringing so much individuality and personality to these characters and their writing.

Not everybody seems to like the animation, personally liked the quirkiness of it myself and there are not many shows with visuals like 'South Park's'. The music is energetic and catchy.

Overall, brilliant show that surprisingly became right up my street, even with the controversial content. 9/10 Bethany Cox

A classic show with some gems episodes. Most recent seasons are subpar but still manage to give some good moments.
Not fan of the "whole-season-plot" take of the last years, the episodic structure was better.

The show became quite boring after season 18, after changing from a single episode storyline to a whole season....
Not to mention Tegridy, which really killed the show for me...
Loved SP up until that point...

South Park is without a doubt the best tv show I have ever seen which isn’t saying much because I’m more of a game and movie guy so instead of giving an overall opinion of the show I’m going to split it into sections by their seasons whichSouth Park is without a doubt the best tv show I have ever seen which isn’t saying much because I’m more of a game and movie guy so instead of giving an overall opinion of the show I’m going to split it into sections by their seasons which will go 1-4 5-10 11-15 16-18 -19-22 as the time I’m writing this so let’s start on season 1-4. The first 3 seasons have aged pretty badly from outdated jokes and animation and pretty forgettable if I do say so myself but the forth season on the other hand is really good it was made after the movie came out so it’s got way better animation and writing and some of my favorite episodes are in this season but things really get started in the next couple of seasons. The next seasons are widely agreed to be the golden age of South Park which I strongly disagree with people will use the point of the first episode of the 5th season Scott Terminin Must Die which is the most overrated episode in the series I know it was the first horrible thing Eric Cartman has ever done but in later seasons he has done so much worse after that episode it’s standard stuff that’s all I have to say for this section there were a lot of great episodes but the show was a roller coaster of quality at this point. The next section season 11-15 is what I consider the first really good seasons of the show such as the imagination land trilogy and this section in my opinion is when South Park was the most unpredictable which is why I love it so much were not at the golden age yet but were near. Now seasons 16-18 is the golden age of South Park I love so many of the episodes in these seasons like the hobbit or the cissy just to name 2 these are episodes that are the balance of dark comedy and combining it with events around the world at that time which later seasons fail to balance. Now it’s time to talk the death of South Park which is season 19 so many problems I have with this season such as the continued story South Park is not that kind of show and it’s not even funny anymore and it’s not even the focus characters going on a adventure to solve something it’s just them **** about stuff now season 20 was better than 19 but was still really bad for one they still have the continued storyline which I hate and now it doesn’t even focus on the boys anymore it just sort of feels like “ This week in the news” and it doesn’t work now this season does have a better story but it’s not a South Park story. So after two messes of seasons season 21 drops the continued storyline and goes back to formula which I loved but now instead of being bad it’s just mediocre which in my opinion is worse than bad the first two episodes are pretty good but then it’s just a list of bad to mediocre episodes. Season 22 is a worse season 21 for the longest time I forgot it existed and I forget every episode in it so I can’t give a opinion just forgettable. Now the show is rumored to end after its 23rd season which I’m ok with I rather just end it now then keep going and let it get worse I want the final season to be good but I know it won’t be. So final thoughts and recommendations if your looking for a good laugh I recommend season 11-18 you can watch earlier seasons if you want but avoid the later seasons if possible. Even though the later seasons are bad I’m going to give the show a solid 9/10 Expand

still manages to be amazing after 20 seasons, the only time the show had a major dip in quality was seasons 19-21, but 22 pulled it back up

While Season 23 was a complete trainwreck and season 24 had two Specials and two Paramount+ exclusives, I'd like to say that the crude humor is back on Season 25! Hats off to Trey Parker and Matt Stone for making it to 25 seasons.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally LOVE south park. Its my kind of humour, however it isnt for everyone. There is a bit of gross and shock humour, But most of the jokes are very funny, and the plots (especially in newer seasons) can be analogies of real life events, for example s25 e01 being wearing masks but instead it was pyjamas. Good show. Must watch. "im sorry, im not incredibly obese black man, im incredibly black obese man. Expand

There are not many old shows that you can enjoy right now. Simpsons, Family Guy and even Game of Throwns but South Park is still a fresh tv show. Yes i know it's not good as the older seasons like season 5 but you watch it now and have good time

Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

The jokes involving the boys going around town and interacting with one another are usually pretty good, but often times it is ruined by some social or political statement that just waters down the episodes and makes it not as funny, especially when you watch the episodes years later and the jokes are no longer relevant. I am not looking for a political statement from a crude comedy show with simply drawn cartoon characters, but I am looking for jokes and light-hearted fun, which both often are both included in the episodes, making this a pretty good but not extremely amazing show.
