It’s known worldwide by many comedy central viewers that with every new episode of South Park, major controversy follows. The exaggerated, bitter and often extremely offensive show is known for its disregard for any limits that other programs might hold themselves accountable to. If there’s ever some point in a a joke where the next thing said is crossing line, South Park has crossed it. If there’s a messed up joke, South Park has made it.
South Park almost always goes above and beyond what comedy shows are capable to and makes fun of every possible celebrity and global situation it can. Because of this, the show has been a target for upset parents or anyone offended by their cruel humor. But, what some forget is that South Park does not make offensive jokes just to be offensive, but rather to satirize. Often, South Park will target societal situations and viciously attack them, or recreate them in such a matter that they go over the top that what once seemed like an acceptable joke now just looks pathetic. South Park’s ability to make intelligent commentary through seemingly unintelligent humor makes it the greatest form of modern satire.
