How South Park Always Knows Exactly What You’re Thinking

- The best South Park episodes are still just as funny and relevant as they were the day they were made. Cartman, Kyle, Kenny and Stan have given television some of its most memorable moments. Yet its the absurdity of what goes into South Park that has kept the show interesting for so long. This is a look at how South Park has survived for over 20 years! Two things, one, a great look at the behind the scenes stuff is the doc 6 days to air, and two, most of the content here does not pertained to the fully serialized seasons.

What would be the topic you most want to see a South Park episode revolve around?
ALSO: I accidentally swap Matt and Trey last names once in the video lmao only happens once but still, slip of the tongue! And for those wondering, as I kind of talk about in the video, the first set of episodes were not made this quickly, it took a while to get to the one a week point!

That’s insane! Also you are incredibly talented man! Loved the marriage story video!
@@Nerdstalgic Ah thank you!
@@Nerdstalgic don't they have like 7 months between season to season for preparations?

"Humans are at their most honest when they aren't given time to think" Gonna remember that one for a while
I jump to my automatic responses in that case, being:
• What?
• [Boolean]
• [Silence] then [Lie]
• [More Silence]
• Okay
Dependent on how it's asked, but the person more often than not would take time to think so no matter how paced the conversation is, the tactic shouldn't work for the more reserved thinkers.
Frankly, I tend to be the least honest when not given the time to think. Only when I'm given the time to sort my thoughts and organize them into being coherent is when I'll say what I truly think about something. If given no time I just give throw-away statements that take the attention off me. :P
Scorched Earth That was such an honest and insightful comment. That's so rare on a platform like TH-cam.
Not true most of the time people dont properly contextualize there points when rushed it's a common tactic used to make people seem dumb in interviews
What if we don’t think.
Trey Parker is the kind of person who'd finish his homework while the teacher is going around and checking.
Then presenting it.
Then winning an Emmy for it.
And people say procrastination is bad...
I used to do that lol. Still haven’t got my Emmy tho.

Caleb Kuti pressure makes diamonds dude
So what you are saying, that Matt and Trey have mastered the art of procrastinating so they can essentially get consistent results and a good product. God damn.
Honestly. It is my life long dream to get at that level. I got nothing but respect for these dudes.
Diamonds are formed under pressure
i can't imagine the stress and anxiety that the animators go through every week
jojomilles and I bet the type of people that work at South Park thrive off of that stress and pressure
@@hskshag00 For a while, sure. But there's a reason they have half year breaks where they barely do anything. They really do need that time to recuperate
You know this show is proven great when you can rewatch a ten year old episode that is based on pop culture of that particular week and it still holds up.
!!!!!
Don’t you want a Segaaaaa Dreamcassst??
...that’s kinda insanely sad when you realize the issues the show is about and how they are still prevalent
Brittney’s New Look comes to mind
Good pop cultural parodies still work without knowing the context. Some milestones of parody like Airplane!, Naked Gun, etc., also spoofed a lot of stuff that was relevant back then but no one remembers today, yet they're still dead funny.
The episode arc where Cartman goes to the future after freezing himself because he can't wait 2 weeks to play the Wii is hilarious
Simpsons always started with an unrelated opening scenario. It was fun. But South Park is the other way around -- it takes a scenario its been developing for 2 acts and goes somewhere completely unexpected in the 3rd. And that's genius.
Yeah, this shows what makes the show so relatable - the plots get more and more absurd and surreal, but the emotions and motivations of the characters are always totally relatable and understandable. South Park is still very good at this. The Simpsons used to be good at it in their early days, but completely lost that.
honestly my favorite episode LOL it just makes it funnier that it's the wii of all things, even though i love the wii, it just makes it hilarious that he was excited for what we now consider a common household console. honestly, valid though, i was the same way when it came out
@@torstenscholz6243 And that's why I choose to stay with South Park.
@@GlennDavey south park usually has 2 separated plots that crosses each other at the end of the episode for example this specifique episode where Cartman is exited for the Nintendo Wii and Garrison is dealing with Darwinism. two completely different stories that are somehow related.
Parker and Stone's turnaround time is legendary. I remember during the Iraq War, when US troops captured Saddam Hussein hiding in an underground bunker. That Wednesday, they made an episode that mirrored the Wizard of Oz in Canada, in which they found Saddam Hussein hiding in a spider hole, controlling the Oz-like prime minister. I remember being amazed at how quickly an animated show was made and aired, complete with Saddam Hussein arrest photos, with a current event that was still happening.
Yeah, and in fact that some episodes from their counterparted shows have pushed back for years before it finally hit the airwaves.
Best turnaround I remember was the Flora kid's indecision holding up the kindergarten class elections. Aired on the Wednesday night after Florida's indecision held up the presidential elections the day before.
Dude yes, I remember having the same amazement from the timeframe.
I think it s also an advantage that their art and animation style is simple, which makes the process a lil faster for them. Coupled with Trey's wide voice acting range. Also shows how quick their writing team to come up with ideas.
The French Canada song is still catchy
I love how South Park is an equal opportunity offender. Even in the same episode they go from mocking things I believe in, to twisting it around to mocking those who mock them. It is an honest critique of reality, not a biased vehicle for any given point of view. Just like you said, an honest reaction.
"Red Hot Catholic Love" has to be my favourite episode using this. It rips on the Catholic Church for being a corrupt and ridiculous institution while also making fun of Atheists by having the new atheist parents crap out their mouths whenever they say something stuck up about Religion.
@@philip9830 FORGET ABOUT THE GALGAMEKS?!?!
Exactly and that's what comedy should be all about nothing should be off limits
I love when they punch up and make fun of conservatives and religious people. I have a lot of respect for them. Family guy will tell stupid gay jokes and constantly rip on minorities too much. It has just gotten old. But South Park actually sticks up for LGBT while still having a sense of humor.
@@philip9830 I agree I love when they make fun of conservatives and religion while sticking up for other communities ☺️
I always thought the “Comedy Central has refused to show this etc” was an intentional joke when I originally watched the ep tbh
Yep same
That was one of my favorite jokes from the show. Now it's even funnier that it wasn't even a joke.
@@aidenhanson884 it's almost as good as the scientology episode when they explain what they actually believe and keep putting the cartoons "they actually believe this". Apparently one of the high up leader's niece (who was also a scientologist) didnt know this and asked her uncle. She left the organization 2 weeks later hahaha
@@DevinHeida Reminds me of SNL's neurotology
What makes it even funnier is that Mohammed has been shown in South Park before.
He's in the Super Best Friends episodes, as well as the title roll sequence, where the whole town gathers beside the South Park sign (below Satan, behind Scott Tenorman, on the right).
All that outrage after Charlie Hebdo, but not before.
"if you're gonna do wrong, do wrong right"
this hit me right in the feels
the best thing is the smaller wichser in the whole situation.... we don't want to have another accident now, do we?
So do?
"If you wanna eat pineapple in a pizza, put the whole pineapple in the pizza then eat it"
I'll murder people for mercy killing 😔
Kyle's speech in episode 201 is one of the most thought provoking, yet hilarious tries at social commentary. You'll literally never see any other show even hint at something like that, and that's why South Park is so great.
Dreddie
I love how in the TV version the entire speech was bleeped, thereby adding another layer to the joke unintentionally.
And that's why they censored the whole thing
Dreddie Is it possible to see the speech somewhere? I never knew, that unbleeped versions of it existed

@@joelmcfly5172 yeah it was leaked online though comedy central refuses to acknowledge its validity, but says something along the lines of "if you allow people to pressure you and terrorize you with threats they you're just letting them win".
My dad went blind and south park is a great cartoon for him because the characters are memorable and the visuals aren’t usually the most important part of its episodes. like you said it makes for great narrative.
The people who are offended by South Park is my favourite part
The Band In China episode is a perfect recent example of people getting offended actually working in the show’s favor
Y'know I can see how people being offended or squeamish or otherwise having their sensibilities perturbed can be amusing, but I've often found that the people who find the most joy in that specific aspect alone tend to miss the actual punch line. The audience often sides with the text in a manner akin to that of someone being a bully and all the bully's friends doubling down on their behalf. Of course sometimes that actually is the case, comedians and writers don't always hit the mark and in trying to make a joke sometimes they do end up just being a bully. However when they do hit the mark, sometimes it's the audience that misses. They misconstrue the subject of the joke with the joke itself. Just to clarify I'm saying the joke isn't that people got offended, if it were that simple being mean would be inherently funny, the joke is WHY they got offended. In the right context two men kissing and offending someone is funny because it's silly to be offended by consenting adults touching lips. If you murder someone's child it's not really that funny when the parent is offended, because you would expect someone to be offended by that, that's drama. Comedy is often as simple as subverting expectations.
My favorite is when South Park point out why you don't need to be offended about something in a critical but also original or unexpected manner that really highlights the core issue and doesn't directly make any specific person, group, or idea the sole subject of the joke.
@Cogginstuff I never looked at South Park that way before so thanks for making me appreciate the show a little more! Obviously I get that it’s satire but now I know what the creators want the audience to feel
Caleb Kuti who got offended by that episode? Chinese government maybe banned a show that had a minor audience there. Chinese people either loved it or didn’t care.
@Sloppy Toons I don’t want any controversy over this at all because I know nothing about China or politics. All I wanted was to appreciate South Park because I am glad people like it. It’s one of the rare cartoons that everyone likes that I like too! There are cartoons out there that I like but in order not to get killed, I have to check with the internet to ask if I should enjoy it or hate it.
South Park has always been a comedy inside a comedy, whether the episodes were random or the whole season had a theme.
These concepts are difficult to explain, for sure, but what do you really mean here? There's comedy about comedy, which generally includes fourth wall breaks, for example. But I think South Park's appeal is different than that.
All comedy has layers, but from my perspective South Park strives for breadth rather than depth, in the way the same situation could be funny to two different people for very different reasons.

He only started posting 6 months ago. I’d say he’s gained a significant amount of attention and subscribers in that time.
His videos are put together well, but I could do without the pretentious tone.
@@Fuppy636 agreed
South Park has evolved into a safe space for satirical content on sensitive topics and I love it
Yeah, but only because they do it right. When watching the show you know that Matt and Trey are not extremists or want any harm. It's just good stupid fun.
South Park is one of the few shows from the past that still manages no to lose itself, it should be treasured.
Have you heard that, Simpsons producers?
And it's gone...
Uuh, what?
It's all gone, forever... I'm sorry little boy, this line is for customers only.
This show started out looking like it was entirely done in MS paint
turns out to be one the most popular animations of all time and still still going at it. This show is really something.
The first episode was done entirely with paper cutouts, so it was even less advanced than ms paint.
And still looks like it's done in MS paint. Which is better.
@@nachiketh3650 the big lez show was done entirely in ms paint, it took just over a year for the creator to make the final episode
South Park is one of the greatest shows ever created. It will be a sad day when they end it.
When it ends theres rumors its getting a reboot but with movies instead of a actual show
mystic painter nah both the creators said they are walking away. When its cancelled its cancelled and they will walk away from the show.
@@Cheezy_Bunz hopefully thats the case I don't think south park has been all that great since season 18 which still had a lot of good episodes yet nothing tops seasons 1 to 15 in my personal opinion
I don't want south park to become another simpsons or worse spongebob but I totally see comedy central paramount milking it for all its worth and south park still makes money and nostalgia sells so I dont see it dying anytime soon.
mystic painter i dont see it dying until the late 2020’s maybe early 2030’s. Personally i still think its funny and relevant and yes ofc its not as good as previous seasons but its better than most adult/teenage cartoons on network tv rn.
@@Cheezy_Bunz that's not really saying much though most cartoons and entertainment are crap nowadays
Yeah its relevant but reality has become total satire to the point that I don't laugh as much because im constantly reminded that modern society is a complete joke we shouldn't have to ruin good shows just because people are too lazy incompetent and money hungry to actually come up with quality entertainment I don't remember the 90s early 2000s having this nostalgia problem who came along and said right we can't beat the 1990s or 1980s lets just steal others past work and claim it as our own but make it worse so people can be nostalgic for the good old days
I can imagine what the modern entertainment industry and Hollywood keep thinking to themselves this right here oh I know lets put politics and social justice in cartoons because Donald trump is president we don't like him so its ok to shove our bigoted opinions down the average tv watchers throat and lets tear the average white person apart because there white like trump its getting rather pathetic to see this trend still going the left media is really getting on my nerves
Yeah I still like south park and im still watching it but I think they are really losing there edge due to political Correctness its now the randy pc principle and cartman show and if it lasts for 30 seasons or more im tuning out like I did with simpsons and family guy as im bound to stop caring at that point as no long term running animated show can come up with fresh creative ideas for thirty seasons or more.
One of the best things about South Park is Randy Marsh's character development. He went from being a well meaning father to an unpredictable lunatic, which has resulted in a lot of memorable and highly amusing moments.

Je vous emmerde et je rentre à ma môson
I genuinely love how everyone always seem to forget that South Park already had an episode that starred an uncensored Muhammed, showing him as a fire-breathing member of the super best friends and noone batted an eye😅
It's funny how South Park only takes six days to make an episode and they're usually good, while a show like Family Guy takes nine months to make an episode and still has shittier plots, animation and voice acting than South Park will ever have.
and idk about voice acting, real talent places guests on the fox shows, so u cant knock that, while south park would never have a real person come be their voice lol
@@JAlonge017 its not that they dont have real actirs its that they have them doing stupid roles like George Clooney as Sparky stans dog, Michael buffer as the antichrist, or Jay Leno as Mr.Kitty. its what i love about South Park they literally have Jay Leno making cat noises.
Modern Simpsons is garbage now to
PREACH
Um that's kinda what's explained in this video.
God I remember episode 200/201, that's still my favorite episode ever.
For anyone who missed it the plot was basically that every celebrity wanted to harness the awesome power of Muhammed to avoid being mocked (lead by Tom cruise of course) and the kids having to keep him safe from them.
Eventually in the end Tom gets the power of Muhammad but it doesn't work. The kids can still mock him and his censor bar disappears because no one will go to war to protect anyone else's right to be censored out of any and all criticism and mockery. Only Muhammad has that power.
It was great
I actually found them on a free (probably illegal site), and while they’re not my favorites among the entire show, I agree that they’re still great. Although, the version I found was censored, along with Kyle’s ENTIRE speech.
Who is Mohammad?
@@Cheezy_Bunz The prophet of Islam who famously made a pilgrimage to Medina which all good Muslims must undertake in their lifetime, and married a 6-9 year old girl.
@@vaclavjebavy5118 why would he be censored though ?
@@Cheezy_Bunz Drawing Muhammad is considered a sin in certain (if not most) Islamic circles. If you draw him, they get real pissed off.
I remember when they aired a Obama heist special the day after he was first elected.
South park can break down any subject matter better than any other show (even though they only take 6 days to make); even after all these years
I think it was that episode that they actually sent out with 2 differents endings, depending on who won the election.
@@BadgerOff32 yeah I assumed so but it must of basically two entire episodes as all the scenes with Obama in and any scenes with his wife/Joe Biden/Mitt R in or anyone talking about him etc will have had to be changed!
BeastJCL I remember that after Trump was elected, they cancelled the original episode and it came a bit later because they had to make a new one. The original episode was about Hillary and Bill. It’s funny that they didn’t expect Trump to become president, so they didn’t bother making an episode about him
That one was great
@@BadgerOff32 I read that they actually did not prepare second scenario and bet on Obama from the start, same in 2012. They failed predicting Trump, and it shows in how the story feels rushed and unprepared.

I once had an essay assignment in a US history course of how history was reflected in modern media/culture. My professor said “be creative”. So I just picked however many episodes of South Park I needed to meet the word count and elaborated on what topics they discussed. Apparently this was the most creative essay he’d read in a while and he not only gave me an A+ but changed my last test grade from a D to a B. Score. Thanks, South Park.
I loved the Pandemic Special, cause they gave this one time to breathe and they were able to respond in full to the events of this year, rather than rushing it out which is their usual process.
South Park Flexing on Censorship and always on relevant topics is why it's one of the shows I really respect.
I truthfully believe South Park is the greatest show ever made and it’s sad to know it will end one day
*Matt and Trey are absolute legends!*
*They are absolutely comedic prophets in their own right!*
“Humans are at their most honest when they aren’t given time to think.” This isn’t always accurate. Sometimes, we need time to think about what we feel and to sort through complex problems and difficult emotions before we express ourselves.
What make South Park work is it talks about current events and they will never run out of material..the fact it is done in 6 days just adds to how great they truly are as artist.
Old comment but i love your pfp, eraserhead is great
If South Park ever gets cancelled (it'd have to happen eventually, let's face it), it'd better be done before it goes downhill and the characters become parodies of their former selves like how it did with The Simpsons, but I don't think Trey and Matt would let the show fall like that.
elsa1942 When Trey and Matt don’t want to do the show anymore that’ll be when SP is cancelled. The operation flows from them
I mean, I've been a South Park fan forever, but I'd say that process already started years ago. It's not as bad a deterioration as the Simpsons, but the show has definitely declined over the past decade, in my opinion.
@@dirkdiggler8093 yeah
@@Volvandese yeah
@@Volvandese I dunno, season 21 and the latter half of season 20 were fairly poor but the last few have been brilliant. Not quite as good as the glory days sure but definitely still quality television.

I've heard that, glad I could have it confirmed. He is uncensored in all versions, in a single south park episode when hes portrayed in what Parker referred to as a "good light".

South Park isn't the hero we deserve but the hero we need
South park does so many things right. It doesn't hold back. The jokes , the weird art style, the characters. Just everything it does to perfection and the craziest thing is that it's still a great show. Must shows slowly fall from grace but it still feels like south hasn't even hit it's peak. South park could literally run for 50 seasons and still be a great show.
You continue to create high quality commentary and content at an incredible rate. I don't understand how it is possible, but it demonstrates your talent.
Thank you for the support, seriously!
The way south park is created proves SNL is trash.
I think SNL is still relevant and funny.

I had actually lost track of South Park. But then a reaction channel that I watch started reacting to this last season, and I rediscovered the show! I love how it's able to be topical, fresh and honest.
my uncle's an animator for south park and he's told me it's not uncommon to have like 120 hr, 6 day work weeks. some times animators even just sleep at the office so they can work as much as humanly possible. it's wild there bruv lmao
Sounds like stories I've heard from some animation studios in Asia
Luckyyyy
How did he get to become an animator for them? That’s my dreammm
In this Age of Incompetence, when everything is a little bit crappy, I like that there's people such as your uncle doing ACTUAL hard work like the old days because it SHOWS. I've slept under my fair share of desks. I don't care when I hear about game devs being "crunched". Good. That's how good work gets done. The Industrial Revolution wasn't a picnic. Go to work doing what you love, give more than you thought you could give, and your final product will be something you'll be proud of for years and years.
South Park being offensive and roasting other stuff is what differentiates it to other shows
It's not just roasting other things. It's deconstructing other things and pulling out a deeper meaning from them. If it were just talking shit about other things and trying to offend, it wouldn't have lasted so long and become so loved. South Park challenges people to look at things in new and different ways.
@@dvt1393 Yup, the tourettes episode is a popular example of this. South Park wasn't making fun of it, they brought up a few good points about how it should be treated and how it isn't just swearing, but also ticks. Even the tourettes association liked the episode! Basically South Park brings things to light that most people wouldn't expect out of a show like this looking at the surface. I love the balance of the show being funny and informative at the same time.
South Parks honesty is what makes it so great. I imagine those 6 days are stressful, but I'm glad they do it, if not Comedy Central would have ruined the show years ago.
Am I the only one who loves the fact all these episodes used here are on Netflix’s “Best Of” season of South Park
South Park is like a newspaper comic
I love south park so much, it gives me hope in humanity, its got so much content, its authentic, and it stays original. I'm watching it right now when I saw this pop up on TH-cam. I love how original this show has always been, they've never bended to comedy central, or Hulu, or China. And if I had to buy the show independently I WOULD. I hope this show never dies... but even if it does, I could still watch it over and over and over again

Cracking video mate, I think what's really amazing is the fact that some of the best episodes seem so off the cuff, and some you can tell they've wanted to do for years (The WOW episode and Imagination Land etc) - so amazing to be so proficient in both lanes
I watch South Park pretty much every single night before bed. For years now. Is like listening to a good album.

BEST animated show for me.
Thank you for this content. I absolutely love video essays on pop-culture and there’s only so much out there
I think this strength is why so many of the more "topical" South Park episodes are also the hardest to go back and watch. The quick pace of the episodes that have "morals" are frequently thoughts bouncing around in the early stages of a story, so looking back at 10+ year old episodes is sometimes hilarious how incorrect they are. Meanwhile, the more abstract episodes are timeless and perfect lol

Thank you!
Crazy to think that I've been watching this show since I was 8 years old! I'm 27 now... lucky no one stopped me from watching it at such a young age!
Great subject. Amazing channel! I loved South Parks new season this year. It felt like a return of the show
U make great vids they’re really easy to watch before bed. I appreciate ur work man. Keep it up
But even without the context of contemporaneus real life situations, south park is very consistent delivering a point, this coming from someone who knows nothing about US news and stories surrounding this episodes. Its one of the best enterteimnent products.
Great take on Matt and Trey's success. Thats one angle I hadn't considered.
Great vid!💙 Also I'd guess they have just been around and that's what you expect, they are like grandfathered in too. I feel like if something just occasionally shocks you, or it started out more tame and then becomes much more absurd and raunchy it really sticks out more and offends people. I even feel like in some cases it's a "oh no you've changed" thing.
Quality content as always man keep up the hard work!
It doesnt matter if the characters do cocaine or drives a car off a bridge as long as its fun.
I actually find this reactionary format is a disservice to the longevity of the show. It is their ability to look at social issues from different angles and be critical of ideas that is the shows' strength. The fact that they happen to write their show like this is separate to their ability to produce this sort of reactionary content, at times however it may compliment it. There might be something here about censorship but that's almost a whole other issue.
Also I think you can do better than framing this as "the "wrong" way".
happy this came up in recommended. good perspective on how reactionary comedy is more relatable
definitely subbing!

great video dude, I love your writing
I like the episode when they get ninja weapons and become ninjas
That one’s called “Good Times With Weapons” and it’s from Season 8. I don’t remember which episode number it is specifically though.
@@FragmentedR_YT first
Kaiser Bigmac ah thanks, that makes sense, as usually the episodes with the different animation styles are the first ones of their seasons, as they actually spend much more time on those than the rest of the season’s episodes.
Yessssss
That Towelie episode is one of my all time favorites of the Show. It shows that you don't need any of the main four leads to have a good episode.
You're just saying that because you're a towel.
Outstanding thesis. Well done!
Honestly your videos are really good. Im subscribing
So that’s how they got away with saying the N word like a billion times in the episode “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson”
"People that annoy you" :D
The joke and message was that white people will only do any meaningful change to racism is when it starts affecting them.
South Park is one of THE best animated series. Period. Especially for The USA
2:20 I lived in Florida. I recall in my real life, I purchased a PSP, and I took a walk down to photograph the media circus event in front of where Terri Schiavo was vegetating ... AND THEN, I saw this South Park episode, as current and up to date as the evening news is.
Great video was sceptical great job!
SouthPark is where I always go to get pure facts and truth about social issues. I am no be facetious either, I truly mean it. if I'm ever slightly confused about what is going on in the world SouthPark clears it up for me in 20 minutes.
As someone who grew up watching South Park, (started in first grade) I think it’s probably one of the best educational cartoons ever made. South Park taught me about the world in a way that made me understand other people’s views and accept them. Because everyone is fucking ridiculous and believes something absurd. And most importantly, that EVERYONE DESERVES TO GET LAUGHED AT.
Same!
also they, like most comedic shows must have, is random humor in it. Random, clever, humour in it can make anybody laugh and shows they are relatable in thier own way. i think not trying to be relatable in a public way and inserting jokes you and sometimes people will get is good. It shows people what you find funny and that will make people find that funny down the line someday or in that current moment. It's what my favorite youtuber used to do(still does, kinda) but now he's too much of a relatable star for people and goes for the humour people generally will find funny not what he finds funny of course, or it just may seem youtubers are changing as a result of some experiences they've had but whatevs. Both communities that i was talking about connect back to each other in a general way generally relative humour vs one's own sense of humour.
Sid note: This was a long ass paragraph of a comment! I'm sorry if you have to read all this(i know i wouldn't)

Brilliant analysis. As a creative in another field (music), the nuanced insights herein resonate abundantly, especially the need to combat my perfectionist, it can always get better, side. Thank-you.

Well one thing is for sure Matt and Trey have an abundance of current events to comment on whenever they fire back up, it’s a dark time so hopefully they get back at it soon.
You've done well with this other channel CPG. Good job, keep it up.
I remember watching this since I was about 5. Always kept me entertained especially with the Nintendo 64 game South Park rally!
