Do you think South Park is a good show?

I liked the early seasons when they made their own humour and jokes, but now all they do is make fun of current events which gets old...

....lu lu lu I've got some apples lu lu lu you've got some too lu lu lu...

I've only seen about 2 - 3 episodes in the last 5+ years. But even so, I did use to watch it ages ago, and I do think it's been pretty good as a show.

I still like that show, but their latest seasons have been very weak and boring. Some of them are even unwatchable.

The Simpsons and Futurama are still easily the best shows, with South Park being 3rd.

I dont like it.

Definitely. I do believe that it was better years ago but I still enjoy watching the episodes.

The show is still good but it used to be great. It took a turn for the worse when every single episode became based around some sort of stupid pop culture thing. And those became the center of the plot.

I've always liked the show. I find it very underhandedly intelligent and very enjoyable due to both the absurdity and there often still being some kind of a moral lesson.

Easily my favorite.

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]South Park is only a good show if you don't want any intelligent humor. There are a few little clever things, but it's close to being on par with how stupid Family Guy is. If you've turned your brain off, it might be okay. Otherwise, if you're looking for real quality humor, there isn't much there.juden41

^^this is the exact opposite of what south park is. you have not a single clue what you're talking about. the jokes and themes obviously go right over your head.

I'm not sure how many people still watch it but there isn't much discussion about South Park anymore, despite being highly popular some years back. I think the ratings are somewhere in the 2-3 million range, which isn't nearly as high as I would think (for reference, Family Guy is about four times as much).

For those of you who watch/have seen it, do you like it, or think it's garbage?

Tigerman950

you "think" the ratings are somewhere in the 2-3 million range? translation: you know nothing about the ratings.

[QUOTE="juden41"]

It's much better than Family Guy is.

LMAO!!!

you know what show requires absolutely no thought whatsoever while having an audience of prepubescent teens? supernatural. irony/

the older you get the less funny it becomes? south park is ALWAYS on the cutting edge of satire, releasing shows weekly about the MOST current of political and worldwide events.

[QUOTE="InEMplease"]

I have seen every episode at least three times, and yes, it started to go downhill after TEN or ELEVEN years, but the show is indisputably f*cking kickass. The more you hate it, the more we won't really give a flying cat-orgy f*ck.

nah, some of the best writing in showbiz bud with several grammys, emmys and tonys to show for it. "stuff that has witt and is clever" is the epitome of south park.

[QUOTE="Nick3306"]I dont like it at all. A few episodes are great, but the number of insanely stupid episodes outweigh the great ones by a lot. like xile said, it lacks any intelligent humor.themajormayor

thank you.

and YES! the south park defense force is in full effect right now.

[QUOTE="Nick3306"]I dont like it at all. A few episodes are great, but the number of insanely stupid episodes outweigh the great ones by a lot. like xile said, it lacks any intelligent humor.themajormayor

I think it depends what you mean by intelligent humor. Do you mean jokes and monologues that only academics will fully understand, on subjects ranging from obscure historical events, to the mocking of scientific principles? Or do you mean raw, creative, diverse, witty writing, in contrast to the cliche, predictable, stale writing that is found on most sitcoms.

If it's the former then you're right, there aren't many shows or acts that I know of that really broach humor on those sorts of subjects, maybe Demetri Martin, but that's about it. If you mean the latter, then while still in the minority they're shows that do that. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has some genuinely hilarious creative, intelligent writing, and while it's not about intelligent topics, it can be pretty witty stuff.

Ok, so according to you, I must have a low mental capacity, 12 years old, and getting used to my pubic hair, simply because I like South Park.

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Na, it was always bad. They're really bad at writing and nothing is ever thought out. They often have to rely on shock value due to their lack of skills at writing stuff that is actually funny. There is no depth to the show, only stupidity. If you find stupidity funny like I know some do, congrats, the show is definitely for you.I prefer to watch shows with at least decent writing though, stuff that has witt and is clever. The exact opposite of South Park.Toxic-Seahorse

please, name me some shows that break the mold like SP does. list me some comedy shows out right now with better writing than south park. you act like screwball comedy and intelligence can't coexist. the show is brilliant, and will go down as one of the most legendary sitcoms EVAR....

South Park is still funny to watch. Just hasn't been any new episodes in quite a while now.michaelP4

Great Series and has continued to keep the quality up after all these years. The dialog in the show is one of a kind and has laughing for hours on end.

i don't remember the exact episode you're referring to, but i'm positive there was another storyline going on at the same time (like they do with most episodes). plus, that's one episode, which like every episode i'm sure had a moral to it. sure there's potty humour, there's all types of humour going on in south park. what's your point? you can't have potty humor while having intelligent and clever writing at the same time? i don't see why not. i agree the last season or two have been falling off a bit but the show will go down in history as a pop culture phenomenon and one of the greatest sitcoms of all time whether you like it or not. it's obviously just nor for you, but that doesn't mean you should generalize the people who do enjoy it.........like i've done with you and supernatural (:lol: half decently written).

you were claiming that SP was unintelligent drivel for little kids while having supernatural in your sig. lol how is that not irony?

It's alright. They try way too hard to make a point half the time though, and it definitely makes the comedy worse.

Cartman, Butters, Kenny, Mr. Macky, Mr. Garrison, Terrance and Philip, Chef, that devil and Randy are the funniest characters on there.

The earlier seasons were far better than the most recent. XilePrincess

:lol: jesus christ, you made rules for irony now, like i'm supposed to know all these factors on your enjoyment of supernatural. you must be an absolute joy to live with lol. i see supernatural in your sig, i assume you're a fan. also, i never said SP hasn't declined a bit in the last couple seasons, i actually made a point to mention that.

i guess we'll have to agree to disagree here princess. i'm 27 and still enjoy the satirical comedy that is south park. i'm not a brainless schlub, i consider myself to have good taste in music and film, a pretty open minded guy. a complete opposite of what you consider a south park fan...

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] lol, you must be delusional if you think South Park is clever or intelligent at all. Or maybe you find stupidity clever, it's not. It's all stupid humor. It's fine if you like that, but I don't.

if all you hear are curse words in south park, and think that's the only way it gets laughs, then you are pretty damn dense.

i agree with you on futurama btw, love that show.

the mid seasons are just as funny if not more. imaginationland, cartoon wars, make love not warcraft etc....these are classics.

the last 2 seasons have fallen a bit. but what do you expect? the show has been on for over 15 years. not many shows have what it takes to last even half that.

I dont think I can call a show great where 50% of the episodes are so stupid that I have to change the channel. if they kept making good episodes like grey dawn, and the one with walmart, I might change my mind, but for now I say no.Nick3306

some get it, some don't.

Haven't seen that in years............

Neither did I, but it's a good show imo.
