[QUOTE="Nick3306"]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.lazerface216

some get it, some don't.

It's not a problem of getting it, it is just a subjective humor type. I happen to not like it at all but, as this topic shows, tons of people like it. I would rather watch a re run of sportscenter than southpark.

Amazing show. I'm not saying every episode is gold but most are IMO. Funny characters and funny stories.

Yep, definitely. While I haven't enjoyed this season much (except for the latest love one) it's had many great episodes/moments.

Family guy is of a quality lower than turd nublets. If you actually find it funny, you're 12 years old, or younger and SO amused at watching 'adult' tv. South park is really on the same hand. Like I said, some clever jabs here and there, but most of it is racism, sexism, Kenny dies, Cartman whines and makes jew jokes, etc etc etc. South Park doesn't require many brain cells to like. If it's hysterically funny to you, you're probably still getting used to having pubic hair. The older you get the less funny it becomes. By the time I became the 'appropriate age' for either show, they weren't funny anymore. XilePrincess

I think South Park is a pretty good show. Watch it every once in a while.

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

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?

There was indeed a subplot. The episode was called "City Sushi" and the subplot was Butters' parents being fooled into believing he had multiple personalities when he pretended to be something (fireman, truck driver etc. aka normal play for a child). That is not witty, that is stupid as hell. In the earlier seasons, yes, there was some well-thought out jokes. But now it's repetitive crap, and that's what I keep trying to get across to you. It's like saying the nobody likes Meg joke isn't old. It's not the potty humor that's really the downfall of anything this show has come out with in the past 5 or so years. It's the REPETITIVE, SAME JOKES episode after episode. Kenny always dies, Cartman makes Jew jokes. It isn't original, 'cutting edge' or fresh anymore. I still watch it on occasion. I watched an episode last night. actually, and I found absolutely nothing humorous about it (it was the episode about Walmart) because I have outgrown the genre. They made a point and I understood it, but it wasn't funny. Preteens and kids love this show because it's still taboo to them. Swearing is OMG at that age. As you mature, it's not that funny. I'm not generalizing anyone who enjoys it. You can enjoy it at any age if you expect nothing above brainless crap. As I said in my initial post, if you turn your brain right off, it's fine. If you're expecting real quality, or think that it is good quality, you've probably got the same taste in comedy as a kid who still thinks swearing and farting is HILARIOUS. Which, as adults, we know it isn't. And as for your "lol half decently written" comment about supernatural, you obviously haven't watched it from season 1 to 7. It changed hands at the end of season 5, and seasons 6 and 7 were bad, and I absolutely admit that. The writing and storyline were better the first five years, and now it's kind of wishy-washy and season 8 might just kill me because it sounds bad already. Why isn't it irony? Because I no longer watch for the plot, the writing or really anything but the actors. You're assuming because I like something I put it on a pedestal and think that it hasn't gone more or less to sh*t in the past couple years, like you're denying SP has. Nope.

Seriously, you sound like you've just graduated high school and are really proud of how all grown up you are now or something.... And you keep refering to the 'repetitive same jokes' about kenny dying and cartman making jew jokes. Every-single-show out there has characters with stable characteristics, and those 'jew jokes' aren't even necessarily what's supposed to be funny about the show. Nor are they what makes the show 'cutting edge'. It's nice that you don't like south park and all, but trying to tell everyone what kind of humour it is and who it should appeal to and why is really quite pretentious.

It's funny because Kenny barely dies nowadays.

It's a great combination of humor with a lot of political statements and very deep topics reflected through each episode. Granted not every episode is that great but for the most part it's been great.

South Park is currently the smartest show on television, and arguably the best situation comedy to ever have existed. Your reference to Grey Dawn and Something Wal Mart This way Comes being good is... interesting. What episodes would you refer to as "bad"?

South Park is probably my favorite show of all time. It doesn't give a fuk ever. It just doesn't care. It's also the funniest and most vile cartoon on television.
