South Park (Season 08) 720p - (2004 Lang: English)

Super.. thanks for asking!

South Park is a crappy little cartoon that could, and did. The animation is terrible but for some reason it's so appealing. Each character is equally unique and equally hilarious. Especially Cartman. In my personal opinion one of the funniest cartoon characters of all time. Cartman is so mean and spiteful and hates to lose. When ever he gets worked up the outcome is hilarious. He screams and swears and curses his friends for his mistakes. His character has never changed even after all the episodes. The cartoon is vulgar and disgusting but this is all one could expect and all I really hope for. South Park has been around for seven years and I hope it will go on for another seven.

What I like most about this show is how ignorant is shows people to be and how they assume things of others. It's stories can be completely relevant (Iraq) or just out there ("Asspen"). Cartman, the most selfish of the main 4, is a good reflection of the average American. Kenny although you can never understand his words is the most kind. And Stan and Kyle are the average kids. The show is equally offensive to all groups whether religious or ethnic. It's stories touch on world events and events that are political. One of the funniest things about South Park is the flapping heads of Canadians. Terrance & Phillip offer the standard fart humor as the favorite among the kids. I recommend the movie as well. It's funny to see how our reflection in this satire.

South Park has developed into nothing short of a masterpiece.

While the first few seasons seemed to rely mostly on shock humor and running gags, the show has turned into a brilliantly written 30 minute political cartoon of sorts, lampooning everything from the president to Rob Schneider.

But let's not forget the characters and the show itself. The main four are definite entities, and I wholly believe that as angry as you may get at Cartman, he embodies that little selfish voice in our heads, the one that makes horridly tasteless and offensive jokes that we try to suppress. Cartman merely brought it out into view.

Trey and Matt could be some of the smartest people working in television now. Do they use crude humor? Of course, but note HOW it's used. It's not just thrown in there, it always has a purpose. This is one of the few instances where low-brow humor is done well and intelligently. I hate to mention another show, but their other effort That's My Bush was another illustration of their intelligence. Rather than do the obvious and lampoon just Bush, it became a parody of sitcoms, with Bush being the lovably goofy husband. I consider it one of the best comedies ever made along with the short-lived 'Police Squad!' series.

Anyway, I'm getting wordy. Simply put, watch the show. It's amazing.

And that is, that this show is hilarious. Every new season brings new surprises and adventures. The show manages to stay funny even after 7 seasons. Normally, shows would begin to go stale and the jokes become old and unfunny. (the Simpsons) The reason why South Park is not like the others is mainly because of it's use of current events to make episodes. This show is extremely funny and you are missing out on a truly comedic masterpiece is you don't see it. And, apparently, the 8th season premiere will be something to look forward to. It will do something that South Park never did before. The only way to find out for sure, is to stay tuned.

Most of the people who criticize this show, do so because they are either prudes or dont get it. As for the animation being bad, isnt that kind of the joke as well?? Some of these episodes are comic masterpieces not just for their gross out qualities but also for their social satire. "Death camp of tolerance", "Fat Camp" and "Timmy 2000" are absolutely biting in their lampooning of Americana. The writers on this show are dead on in their ridiculing of many aspects of American culture and the tons of obscure references to movies or Tv shows (Star Trek) are well done. Easily one of the best shows on TV.
