    I assume that you havent seen too many episodes and dont know too much about the history on south park. But they are known for making fun of everyone, and not selecting by a agenda. For example there is an episode about: Mormons, Scientology, a whole series of episodes on the “superheroes” around jesus, there is even an episode where a future civilization is fighting over the meaning of “AAA”, which is a atheistic alliance (to hint on the idea, that there will still be war, even if religions go extinct).

    The fact that they make fun of everyone is one of the reasons they stood so long.

    Btw in the 2016 season, which they released weekly during the last months of the election, their portraial of Hillary Clinton is the one of an extraordinaly stupid and incompetent woman, while their Donald Trump doesnt even want to be president.

      Thanks for the insight. So I assume it’s like family guy but with better and meaningful cameos. Lately I’ve been watching too much family guy, it never feels enough, it’s so stupid but I’m addicted :(

        It’s definitely got a higher ceiling than family guy, but it’s also got a lower floor (though at least there’s no fucking chicken fighting) imo. There’s a lot of dumb, gross humor

            Not to mention the Chicken Lover and Medicinal Fried Chicken episodes, seems like enough chicken in there for everyone.
