My question to you guys here is :

Do you like watching South Park? If not, why?

I understand that the jokes in it can rub a lot of people the wrong way especially when they make fun of religious groups, race and current day first world problems.

Personally I’ve enjoyed the show ever since I watched earlier seasons on DVD years ago. I just find the humor and some of the moments give you that shock kind of laughter “They really put that in there??”

So what’s your view? Do you watch it? Do you hate it? You thought of watching it?

Let me know!

I thought it was silly stupid fun when i was a teen

In my 20s i thought it was genius

In my 30s I think its “both sides are stupid” approach to everything is annoying and an immature stance in a world where one side is shit and one side is super mega ultra shit.

remind me in 7 years to tell you about totally different way i feel about it in my 40s.

The early seasons were best. I think because it had more focus on the kids, and they did kid stuff while the ridiculous shit went down around them.

Matt and trey are ridiculously out of touch these days. Rich, a part of the system, can’t write, and are coasting on their earlier successes. They have peaked.

What a couple of losers.

I used to like it a lot… As a kid… As I’ve grown it seems more focused on being incredibly in the middle than ever actually making any sort of point…

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are just so incredibly "Enlightened Centrist* that it can be painful at times.

They have some good bits and some of their jokes have rightfully stood the test of time… But God damn… If you’re going to make a political show… Do something other than the most fence sitting thing possible!
