Watch early South Park
The kids are mean to each other, that's their whole thing.
Kyle would laugh at Cartman's poor jokes about Kenny
Stan would make an anti semitic joke at Kyle's expense.
All the kids make fun of Mr Mackey's accent
If these episodes came out today, it would be Cartman being the only mean kid, Kyle would be the annoying buzzkill telling him to knock it off, and the other kids would have zero reaction like the humorless poker faced fence posts they are.

they're jewish
Kyle and Stan were just as crude as Cartman in the early seasons, its especially weird to see Kyle say some based stuff (constantly making homophobic insults and whatnot) before he became the Lisa Simpson preachy jew faggot of the show
They went to Make-A-Point Land.
Didnt they grow up and go through different grades aswell then just sort of froze at whatever grade they ended up in ? The show is garbage has beem for decade easy.
They got lazy and would rather make episodes about current events and shit. South Park is like the Simpsons now, why are you watching it?
Adlibbed and overlapped dialog. Followed by stocky sounds. Early SP was great, I think only Boondocks, Youtube and the youtuber created Smiling Friends had this feeling
It was funny when the kids misunderstood things and repeated things adults say in slightly or completely off ways. That's actually what kids to. At some point the whole idea of the kids actually being kids left the show and they became adult Matt & Trey self-inserts (with Cartman as the foil)
early Aqua Teen Hunger Force
boondocks
I'd love to see the reactions if that came out today. Uncle ruckus said the most racist shit I've ever heard, but it was fucking funny.
Black women hated that show for the most part
Early South Park was very in touch with the experience of what actually being a child was like. I guess Matt and Trey just got super old at some point, and lost all connection.
From what I gather in the recent seasons they have been doubling down on "Cartman is a monster and we MUST condemn him!", which is a complete misunderstanding of who Cartman is as a character.
Cartman is a dumb fat kid who acts out because he doesn't have a father. He doesn't believe the things he says, because he doesn't even understand the things he says.
black women
That show was ruthless towards black women, but we're they wrong?
The Scott Tenorman chili episode was the first step into this flanderized genius savant supervillain Cartman
It was a memorable episode at the time but they shouldn't have kept going in that direction, it should have been a one-off thing
That in itself was a gag though. The fact that Cartman came up with this surprisingly intricate and crazed plan, is the joke, because he's a dumb fat kid.
yeah but it was the first step towards the nonsense we have now. had they not done that gag, shit could be way different
Right. That's why it works in that one episode
The weird thing is that they misunderstood their own joke.
"Cartman is a monster and we MUST condemn him!"
I haven't kept up with South Park in a long time but I noticed a lot of later episodes just have Cartman getting the shit beat out of him or something at the end after he spends most of the episode being cruel/greedy/racist. It always comes off like a weird parochial struggle session for viewers who "miss the point" and don't hate Cartman.
also stuff like the smoking episode where the anti-smokers are so lame that all the lads take up smoking. I remember having similar people come into our school to do plays about not taking drugs and smoking and it had the exact same effect.
very wierd. there's the meme that blacks have a 15 second attention span like a goldfish but sometimes it feels like jews shed their skin every few years and come out of it with a completely different kikey personality and set of jewish morals
There is a noticable difference starting season 4. The opening sequence 'bigger, bolder etc' shows they went in a new direction. Less gore, random jokes and deadpan and more monologues with dramatic music.
Torrent seasons 4-18 and only watch those. Nothing before or after is good.
Trey's been writing and performing the show for almost thirty years and you don't expect or allow for any evolution or deviation from the first few seasons?
Unrealistic. You should just be happy it's still on the air. But of course you're not. Incel doesn't like it anymore.
Cartman is by far the most popular character
the creators HATE this fact
Maybe he should actually age the characters up, or make a different show.
here, I'm gonna pee on your spaghetti. Why are you mad? I just changed it. All change is good. Evolution, incel.
watch some nu-south park
"no we were totally wrong about manbearpig!"
"we must totally stop manbearpig because he's ruining everything!"
guys, we have to find a "nurection"
a what?
a nurection. my mom was yelling at my dad last night because he didn't have one. i need to get a nurection so i can give it to my mom.
Please tell me you're joking
Stan would make an anti semitic joke at Kyle's expense.
I honestly can't remember a single instance of that, it was always Cartman
Nope, that's exactly what the episode was about.
That's literally the exact moment the show stopped being good
in high school a 22 year old guy did a 3 hr long thing where he talked about killing his friend when driving drunk and he played an acoustic guitar song and him and some asian chick did a skit relating to it i barely remember.
the takeaway was that you shouldn't drive drunk because holy shit look at how much of an attention-seeking profiteering faggot it could turn you into
are you implying that they ran out of real-world shit to lampoon via cartoon children or are you implying that a show that's successful doing that HAS to start doing something else and bleeding viewers or the showrunners would explode after a certain duration threshold is crossed?
Looking back it's right there in season 1. Big gay Al is totally safe as a boy scout leader it's the redneck that's going to rape your children.
so did they just give up on kenny as a character or something i feel like he hasnt been in the show for like 10 years now but he's still in the intro for each season i dont get it, is it some inside joke
The the book depository might be a good bet! (echo) book depository... book depository... book depository...
Damn, he could be anywhere!
Kyle always hated Cartman but the real retcon is Stan no longer liking Cartman.
retcon
no longer liking
I don't think you know what "retcon" means, anon
It’s 100x easier to make an episode today than it was when it started. They don’t have to give a shit wether the episode is good or not because they can write a script, record the dialogue and then forget it ten minutes later and never think about it again whereas it used to be a painstaking process that took hundreds of hours of hard work. You can’t create dogshit if you have to work with it for hundreds of hours
we had one in secondary school called the Crack Pots almost identical to the satire in SP that would come in to a group of teenagers and do a play about either sexting, drugs or alcohol and smoking. They were affectionately known by the students as the Crack Heads.
These sort of groups can become famous in the uk and go on tour
lol, he's doing alright actually. I guess as a teen, as shown in SP, you don't really appreciate that they're just normal people trying to make you say no to drugs within the limits of what can be shown to kids. that said, reading Stone Cold and some of the movies we watched about heroin in English Literature did a much better job.
bins and needles
Because it got old pretty quick. The early episodes were fun and edgy when I was 10.
In a way, they kind of blew their wad with Scott Tenerman Must Die. Great episode, but it permanently made Eric so evil that the original dynamic was lost.
Kids being kids are always the best episodes. Why the Lord of the Rings one is so memorable and the Stick of Truth is probably the best thing they've put out in near 20 years.
I will rewatch South Park today, in which season should i stop?
When PC principle is introduced
if I were going to rewatch it episode for episode, I think I'd just do S1-S4.
That's a bit extreme, there's some fine stuff up to season 10 at least
aye but watching every episode in order is a big task especially if you've seen them all 100 times before. don't think I can remember exactly where all the good later episodes are and I know S1-S4 are good.
