Initially south park was just a "haha, my Mom doesn't want me to watch this so I will. they use harsh language and fart humor so this is great" then as I got older and started really understanding satire I gained a whole new appreciation for it. I love the fact that you can take south park at face value and just see a lude nasty program that would only appeal to teenage boys with dirty minds, but just about anyone I have forced to sit through a couple episodes gradually realize that its full of really smart humor and their analysis of pop culture and current events that is just so perfect. I managed to talk my wife into watching a few episodes and she was hooked almost immediately. every episode is usually followed up with a nice long conversation about the origins of the plot of that episode and its just great. They lost us a bit last season but so far this season has us hooked again so that's good.

I've always loved that South Park is a comedy show about bad kids in a world of dumb adults first and foremost, and a show bursting at the seams with social commentary second. It's crazy how well Matt and Trey have managed to continue doing it so well for so long, without ever getting too preachy about it, or compromising the heart of the show as irreverent entertainment. It's why South Park has remained relevant for 21 Seasons, and the Retarded™ Rick and Morty garbage is in a rut barely three seasons in.

My favorite episodes are Make Love, not Warcraft and Fishsticks.

Hehe, while I agree that Rick and Morty is retarted™, I definitely wouldn't say it's in a rut. Justin literally just became the new Oprah out of nowhere—not even Matt and Trey have been able to accomplish that! :-D R&M might seriously break the barrier of 5--which would be amazing.
