The fictional town of South Park, Colo., is known for its snarky kids, its no-holds-barred humor and its constant skewering of anyone even remotely resembling a celebrity.

That’s because nothing’s sacred on “South Park” — least of all Hollywood.

[The KG9 Kid]

They surely single-handedly finished off the careers of J-Lo and Ben Affleck. J-Lo for absolute certainty, anyway.

[Mr. K]

My fave was the ‘snuke’ episode

Except it helped give us Obama, maybe

[battlecry]

I liked the Sarah Jessica Parker bit too.

[Tzimisce]

I think Paris Hilton got it the worst.

[Calvin Locke]

How about Bono being measured in Courics?

[mnehring]

They missed Brad Pit’s famous camio.

-Woof-

[svcw]

Tom, come out of the closet Tom.

“Mr. Cruise, please come out of the closet.”

In the credits of that episode. Everyone’s last name was Smith.

[xjcsa]

Wow, they left off my favorite: Manbearpig himself.

Top 10 for me, without looking at an episode list or the list in the article:

10. George Lucas (movie remakes)
9. Barbra Striesand (trapper-keeper)
8. Mel Gibson (Passion)
7. Joseph Smith (dum dum dum dum dum)
6. Al Gore - (ManBearPig)
5. Barbra Streisand
4. “Captain” Paul Watson (Whale)
3. Jennifer Lopez (Taco)
2. Isaac Hayes (lampooned as his character “Chef”.
1. Tom Cruise (Come out of the Closet)

[Calvin Locke]

Or Tom packing fudge at the candy company?

[bolobaby]

BAR-BARA, BAR-BARA!

[Doe Eyes]

I think South Park unfairly portrayed Mel Gibson as some sort of loon.

[Calvin Locke]

9. Barbra Striesand (trapper-keeper)

Wasn't that Rosie O'Donnell?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Nothing could top MechaStreisand.

[Maceman]

I can't believe Sally Struthers didn't make the list.

[Navy Patriot]

I suspect South Park has the most equal opportunity lampooning on the tube. I wish I could do as good a job of offending as they do.

[mnehring]

I think South Park unfairly portrayed Mel Gibson as some sort of loon.

You are right, they shouldn't have portrayed him as some sort of loon. They should have been specific as to all the ways he was a loon. They could have gotten a couple of seasons out of it.
