South Park (TV Show) (lemmy.world)

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 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!
