My favorite Episode Red sleigh down.

Generally speaking, not much offends me, especially if it's comedy or sarcastic humor.
I really enjoy South Park, and it's commentary on today's society.

But for the life of me, I still can't find anything funny about "Mr. Hanky".

[dfwgator]

I just hope that hiring Norman Lear as a writer won't ruin the show.

South Park is one of the only shows that has rivaled Fox News programming among top rated cable shows. Thankfully, it too is honest in at least representing the conservative/libertarian viewpoint. Entertainment is one of the best mediums to change people's minds since it is subliminal. News channels are more difficult because perceived bias is more direct.

South Park: Libertarian TV
The "South Park Republicans" of FR might differ...
The Inherent Conservatism Of "South Park"
I'm so confused...
Do I see a merger via South Park, of all things?

Two episodes I absolutely love are the one where Cartman gets an anal probe and is constantly flatulating fire and has huge antenna coming out of nether office. Second is Johnny Cochran using the "Chewbacca defense" to prosecute and then exonerate Chef. Also like fact they show true split-faced nature of Canadians.

[TroutStalker]

While most television shows feature a token African-American characters South Park takes this a bit further by naming its only black regular Token.

Hmmm. Must not have seen any of the ones with Chef in it.

[Billthedrill]

I think to categorize the show as "libertarian" also tends to ignore certain non-libertarian tendencies - I offer for an example the Christopher Reeve episode, showing that character ripping the head off a foetus and drinking its blood for therapy. Edgy, very edgy.

Similarly edgy was the now-infamous "Red Sleigh Down," in which the boys enlist Jesus and they raid Santa Claus's Iraqi captors...it was fun and mildly sacrilegious until the stunning punchline "the important thing to remember is that He died for us." It went by so fast that it was nearly unnoticed, but not unnoticable.

Why the boys hired Lear is a mystery to me - of all of the comedy writers on television he strikes me as being close to the most incapable of appreciating the biting of his own sacred cows. If it turns into an animated West Wing the roar you hear will be the collective clicking of an entire audience's "off" buttons.

[bassmaner]

only a handful of complainers—mostly right-leaning cultural scolds—bother to complain about it any more.

Quite a few of these holier-than-thou tight-asses that give conservatives a bad name hang around FR - they often troll and flame-bait libertarians on the WOD threads. You know who you are ...

[ZULU]

I always enjoyed South Park, although parts of it can be revolting gross at times.

However, since I discovered in another posting that that leftist social revolutionary Norman Lear took it over, I'll never watch it again.

[Liberal Classic]

Who cares if South Park is Republican leaning or libertarian leaning so long as it pokes fun at sacred cows. Moo!

[techcor]

And from their 100th episode in a timely fashion:

"You people who are for the war, you need the protesters. Because they make the country look like its made of sane caring individuals. And you people who are anti-war, you need these flag wavers. Because if our whole country was made up of nothing but soft p#$%@ protesters, we'd get taken down in a second. That's why the Founding Fathers decided we should have both. It's called having your cake, and eating it, too." [expletive changed]

I myself am a devoted South Park Fan. I have Kenny on my back window of my truck. Just love that foul-mouthed little b@st@rd!!! A lot of the shows I see have good morals to the stories.
