South Park is a phenomenon of television that is still going strong almost three decades since its original debut. In its inception, the filthy content and unsparingly dark humor differentiated Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s television show from other animated programs aimed at adults. However, South Park changed its premise for the better as it honed in on its satirical themes over the course of its later seasons.
9 “Grounded Vindaloop” Season 18, Episode 7 Although it's always been a show that contains a multitude of popular culture references, South Park dug into the controversy surrounding virtual reality headsets in “Grounded Vindaloop.” The episode centers around Cartman pulling an elaborate prank on Butters by trying to make him question his own reality by opening up a VR headset.
7 “Tweek x Craig” Season 19, Episode 6 Although much of the humor in its early season would likely be deemed to be offensive today, South Park has always had a strong fanbase among LGBTQIA viewers. One of the longest-running theories among fans of the show is that the characters Tweek and Craig are actually a gay couple, due in no small part to the many homoerotic situations that they find themselves in.
5 “Put It Down” Season 21, Episode 2 As odd as it may seem, South Park is actually a quite cathartic viewing experience for those struggling to cope with real-world issues, as the series is far more cynical in its approach than most adult animated shows. “Put It Down” focuses on Tweek having a mental health crisis over the state of world politics, including the tensions with North Korea that resulted from President Trump’s angry tweets.
