I used to love South Park. Now I can barely stand it. Am I getting too old? I rewatch old episodes with pleasure though. It's the new episodes that make me cringe. It used to be about fart jokes and silliness. Now it's all political crap.
- thieving_magpie 10y agoI'm the opposite. I wonder how I ever used to find the fart jokes funny. Not saying I totally get on board with the 'political crap', but it's certainly more funny to me. I think my sense of humor has evolved similarly to the way the comedy in this show has changed.
- aikah 10y ago> Now it's all political crap. Which made South Park better. Fart jokes or making fun of Canadians was never funny. They still do that but putting the finger where it hurts and calling out a political camp that is not used to be challenged is refreshing. Of course there are things they won't do, for their own safety... because some would resort to violence and directly attack South Park creators.

- rplst8 10y agoI'm down voting you because I think not only is your assessment wrong, your telling of history is too. One of the first episodes of South Park was a Jesus vs. Santa episode where they fought over the meaning of Christmas. There was toilet/uncouth humor then along side political/social commentary, and there is basically the same product now.
- ionised 10y agoThe political/social commentary was always there, it was just more mixed up with absurd humour in the earlier seasons. My favourite seasons have to be 4-9 for this reason,
