South is really popular in China. All the episodes are available in free streaming services. Got my postgrad in Beijing, everyone in Chinese universities know South Park.
As somebody who grew up Mormon, I can absolutely guarantee you that it is 100% accurate. Like, I have never seen a more accurate or humorous portrayal of my former (and renounced) lifestyle and beliefs. It is 100% accurate. 100%.
@12:50 , it’s wild I grew up Mormon (LDS) also, and it took me a long time to do research outside of church doctrine. Looking back, it’s wild that this South Park episode was more based in reality, facts, and Joseph Smith’s journal than the current church teachings lmao. Fail on my part! Oh well…
I really admire how south park can be the most offensive, vulgar, controversial, crude show ever yet also be the most heart wrenching show ever at the same time and most of the episodes teach great lessons and have valid points and it really is an amazing show and it really helps me.
Tbh that ginger shit for instance is kinda fked up💀💀 Even myself I gotta admit ever since that day I saw the episode I never looked at the gingers the same

Personally, I've always been a fan of "South Park". Yes it can be crude and raunchy and always controversial, but if you watch the show and pay attention, you can catch a legitimate message and valid social commentary. They just do it their way
That's the beauty of South Park; Trey & Matt never shy away from roasting or insulting anyone who thinks they're above being ridiculed in TV, even if it will incite backlash and controversy from communities worldwide. The show makes sure to roast everyone and everything, and has proudly stuck by its very agreeable view on censorship; either everything is ok, or none of it is. The iconic duo are probably the undisputed best satirists of the modern world, and we need them more than ever to point out how ridiculous everyone is and what we let happen to ourselves. However one other controversy that you left off that probably should've made it on the list was the controversy surrounding the "Board Girls" episode; as it aired during trans awareness week it caused quite a stir with the ridiculously butt-hurt PC/woke community and there were many failed attempts at trying to get the show taken down because of it. Now that it's undeniably aged like fine wine so quickly because of predicting a very similar outcome in Womens' sports, no-one is really talking trash about it anymore 😏.

To me, aaron mcgruder is the better when it comes to censorship. South Park did cave several times, Mcgruder never caved, even when he used MLK, cartoon network did, but not Aaron
About #8. It didn't have super strong effect back when the episode just came out. At first, it even helped the Mormons. But in the last few years it became more relevant. The thing is, that episode portrayed Joseph Smith "translating" the Book of Mormon with help of the Seer Stone placed in the hat. Most Mormons, including missionaries, didn't know about that. Up until ~2009, "the church" taught that the translation was done in a less ridiculous way. I.e. South Park told the truth about "the only true church of God" years before "the church".
Fact: After the Trapped in the Closet episode they changed the names to John and Jane Smith in the credits to avoid a lawsuit from the Church of Scientology
Another example- Robert Smith from The Cure… also Elton John and Meatloaf helped put together Chef-AID. If you count the movie you have Brian Boitano, I mean what better praise is there than “what would Brian Boitano do”?
James Cameron was given a positive nod as well for his episode Raising The Bar. A Canadian who is not given a flapping head while speaking is a true acknowledgement.
Brian Biotiano the figure skater, and Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure are the only celebrities that I could find who received complements from the characters on the show, they’ve made jokes about everyone from George’s Bush’s Surgeon General to Billy Mayes the sham-wow guy. Like being made fun of buy South Park doesn’t mean anything other than you were on tv briefly.
That Jennifer lopez episode was literally the most funny one. “Baby lets make a run for the border, I got a hunger only tacos can stop!”…l I already know what Id order, 3taco2tostadasandaso-da-pop!”
I can kind of understand the Steve Irwin one. Mostly cause he was a nice guy who did a lot of good. It wasn't necessary to make fun of it but everything is fair game with them
His death is one of those that will never be forgotten. When I watched the episode, I couldn't help but yell out "Oh hell no". It was also one of the only episodes where I wanted to cry b/c of it...and to make matters worse, they kept the stingray attached.
It’s so stupid how these groups keep getting offended when one of the main characters is ridiculed for being Jewish and not one Jewish group has tried to censor the show.
@@KidTrigger yea if you’re gonna sarcastically call me smart, at least use the right you’re🤡 also you’re a clown for being offended by an animated show.
*( PBUH) I understand tbh I have no problem South Park bringing controversial but drawing the Islamic prophet which is forbidden by Islam is wrong in so many ways.
@@ivanthephilosopher3792 in that episode they had all the deities as super heroes. Jesus, Buddha, Joe Smith, moses etc They weren't being insulted. Muhammed was just one of many. Why is it so wrong to draw him anyway?
@@ivanthephilosopher3792 not really I'm not Muslim so I don't have to follow their traditions of not drawing him. It's ofc not ok for me and others to draw him and rub it in their face but it's equally not ok for a secular society and none religious people or people of other religions to have to follow certain rules of other religions that's why the U.S. removed prays in public schools or why you shouldn't have to say grace before eating.
@@ivanthephilosopher3792 It's forbidden for Muslims! We, the normal people (😘), can draw it as much as we want and you can shit on the drawing of it after if you want. 😌 If it was like you said then why wouldn't everyone in everywhere have to do as my personal religion says? There's nothing special about Islam except their leaders are way more violent than any other far spread religion in the world.
These are some of the best episodes! I seriously can't understand how people get so worked up over any of this that they take action in real life. Admittedly I cam see how the Irwin thing would be upsetting for his family.

Funny scientology story so one time I was on a road trip in Hollywood with a group of friends, there was probably like 6-7 of us. We were walking around tired af at 1 AM trying to find somewhere we could safely chop up some coke and snort it somewhere when we were approached by a couple Scientology members. They were handing out "movie tickets" to one of their movies. We thought there might be moments we could take some lines, so we agreed and they lead us to the church building where they had a couple rooms set up with a movie goin. We got our own room and they didn't even sit in there with us, I didn't even see any cameras so we chopped up some coke, snorted it, and sat in silence for a couple minutes before I was like "....you guys do know they're like some weird cult right...?" and everyone went wtf no, so we made some excuse and left after about 10 minutes 💀 they tried to get us to stay finish watching it and offered us different of their weird videos to stay and watch but we were like nah and just dipped out So basically we did coke in the scientology church while they were trying to recruit us into their weird shit at like 1 AM. literally agreed to watch that shit so we could do drugs without getting mugged lol.
It’s amazing that the show has controversy spanning its whole 25 season legacy. Feels like this show never would get off the ground now, but they’ve established so much in this medium that they very much seem to be one of the few entertainment properties that can move how they want and really doesn’t seem to have had the same fate as Simpsons or Family Guy in that they’ve adapted and changed but still can produce quality content consistently
Actually glad to hear that Issac Hayes didn't hate the show over the scientology episodes, sad to hear he suffered a stroke and the church abused his name.
I’m so happy this show came out in the 90’s. It would have never made it if it came out today. People are way too easily offended nowadays. It’s sad. Love South Park!
I’m a ginger who was not quite old enough to watch SP when it started (but did overall with my older brother), I’m a ginger, and was never made fun of that! If Ed Sheeren was so traumatized, dye your hair! People say once we die our hair it never returns to its natural colour, which is false, and guys who keep their hair short, the dye would grow out within a couple of hair cuts based on how much more often guys cut their hair - typically- compaired to most women overall, with frequency of hair cuts!
I remember the threats regarding showing the prophet Muhammad, and the subsequent ban. I also remember that South Park had already depicted him in a prior episode and nothing happened.
i believe with utmost certainty that the church of scientology deliberately caused harm to the actor who voiced chef and wrote his sudden and abrupt resignation because they were not going to accept him having any affiliation with a show that points out how dumb their establishment is
@@RapFanatic4ever it’s the same thing as the Scientology episode but Mormons are actual real nice people even tho some of the things they believe are ridiculous.
It aggravates me that multiple versions of the same episode exist. Only because one day the version someone wasn’t supposed to be shown will be seen. And especially if the episode is available on a website. Which version?
The Mormon episode should have been way higher. You can tell they didn't do their research bc the revelations in that episode were believed to kill people of they weren't ready. The warlord revelations specifically. Non of the other episodes threatened to wipe out the earth 🤣😂🤣
@@iandouglas1162 I'm looking forward to when all the season's episodes get their own channel for binge watching. South Park makes me laugh where most other shows can't.
The only episode of South Park where I was so disgusted with the episode was The Death of Chef and not b/c of Isaac Hayes leaving the show, but because they were openly promoting (not actually saying it's okay, but the nerve for them to include that in there is what I mean) child molestation which to me is one of the only things that I get offended by.
In what way we're they trying to promote Child Molestation? If you had paid attention to the context of the episode, it was very clear that the main characters were doing their best to un-brainwash Chef out of being a pedophile, but sadly failed. Everyone else that wasn't in that club was very much against what Chef was turned into (against his own will apparently). If anything, the episode was making fun of the group that made Isaac Hayes quit by portraying them as Pedophiles.
As a current Mormon the episode is hilarious! The “dum dum dum dum dum” line is gold. Don’t care what y’all think about my religion, the episode got a good laugh from from my seminary class
Yup. Card carrying Mormon And I laugh every time. Frankly, considering how hard they are on everyone I don't think they're that bad about Mormons. They may Joseph Smith a super best friend after all. Lol And I've seen interviews where they actually think we're some of the nicest people ever. I just know that everything on the Earth is fair game with them so I'm not insulted. It's hilarious.
@@LLC4269 yup we’re super nice not everyone is so strict on it but most missionaries are in their late 18’s to early 20’s and they’re all fun and nice and we’ll still young and have a bit of the child in them. Not trying to make anyone convert but at least be nice and wave to them if they pass by.
The funniest part of the "Closetgate" episode to me was R Kelly's demeanor and expression as he walks out the front door with Tom Cruise and John Travolta. I've never heard anyone say anything about it, but I noticed it and it caused me to wonder "Wtf did he experience in that closet to cause that reaction??" 🤣🤣
@12:50 , it’s wild I grew up Mormon (LDS) and it took me a long time to do research outside of church doctrine. Looking back, it’s wild that this South Park episode was more based in reality, facts, and Joseph Smith’s journal than the current church teachings lmao. Fail on my part! Oh well…
Born later, but grew up with it. Its kinda exhausting now because the whole german TH-cam bubble is like "oh no no swear wowrds pwease uwu". Every time a youtuber cries about swears and offends I just can't to anything else than roll my eyes and loose a biiig sigh.
No mention of the "All About Mormons" episode subsequently being written into becoming a multi-Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical? Bloody hell, you folks are more clueless than Alicia Silverstone's character in the movie "Clueless"!
The funny thing is, on top of 200 and 201, also The Cartoon Wars episodes were ultimately banned from airing again and they are also about the same issue. It's almost like... someone doesn't want censorship to be criticized so they censor the criticism.
It's crazy that so many will never see episode 200 and 201. I was fortunate enough to see live but haven't seen since and can't rewatch like the episode super best friends or whatever when they actually show Mohammed but no one cared until several years later when it got pulled.
It was the perfect cartoon for a rebellious young teenager in the late 90s when it first came out Little kids swearing and dealing with grown-up situations like it's nothing
I remember the "it hits the fan" episode. Me and my boyfriend were in my room and my mom was one room over cleaning and organizing and she was a turbo-prude and when they started cursing, me and my boyfriend had to turn down the tv and sit closer to watch at low volumes. Fun times

Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support!
Late to post this, but the controversial Indiana Jones scene was based directly on, "The Accused." Jodie Foster starred and won an Oscar for her role.
Was surprised to see no mention of the woodland critters. 🤭
"Whats seems to be the officer, problem"
Never fails to get me.
i believe with utmost certainty that the church of scientology deliberately caused harm to the actor who voiced chef and wrote his sudden and abrupt resignation because they were not going to accept him having any affiliation with a show that points out how dumb their establishment is
If they haven't already let's see Will Smith & Jada get the South Park treatment.
They made fun of Will a bit on that Here Comes The Neighborhood episode!
There's a small bit already in one of the 2 newest episodes.
If people actually get mad at south park and try to start a controversy at them, it just proves how brilliantly south park is written
It's because of these episodes that South Park is still being made.
It always pushes the envelope.
You can’t touch South Park
Don't know why Mexico was so upset. They showed the wrong Prime Minister for Australia!
My opinion is that South Park is always spot on. They quite literally say what most of us are thinking but are too polite to say out loud. lol.
I will say this, the end of the blame Canada song is really funny. We've got to blame someone before somebody thinks of blaming us
I absolutely adore how Man Bear Pig went full circle 😂
Did it tho ?
The sad part about the Mormon episode is he is right, it's dumb but those people are better than anyone
I thought it waz that Mormonz were dumb
@@RapFanatic4ever it’s the same thing as the Scientology episode but Mormons are actual real nice people even tho some of the things they believe are ridiculous.
Mr. Hankey is the spirit of Christmas
Yeah, but there’s an earlier episode where they actually DID show Mohammed without the censored box at all!
It aggravates me that multiple versions of the same episode exist. Only because one day the version someone wasn’t supposed to be shown will be seen. And especially if the episode is available on a website. Which version?
Omg I love South Park! Been watching it since i was 9.. that was like normal back than lol! The episode with Indiana jones got me ROTF LMAO 😂
#1 -- Yet they completely left out how the episode Super Best Friends DID show Muhammad and hardly anyone at the time gave it a second thought.
that's cause it was before 9/11, after that everyone went crazy about that shit

you may be right Finley, he did make one kid eat his own parents.
“Thankfully nobody dropped an F bomb at the Oscars” clearly this list was made before the 2022 Oscars
The Mormon episode should have been way higher. You can tell they didn't do their research bc the revelations in that episode were believed to kill people of they weren't ready. The warlord revelations specifically. Non of the other episodes threatened to wipe out the earth 🤣😂🤣
So funny that when they actually depicted Mohammad in the episode Super Best Friends, no one cared lol. Go figure?!
Didn't Sea Man defeat Mohammad?
@@ANDROLOMA ahh, I can’t remember. Been years since I saw that episode.
@@iandouglas1162 I'm looking forward to when all the season's episodes get their own channel for binge watching. South Park makes me laugh where most other shows can't.
You just gotta love how south park holds a mirror to current isseus
The episodes featuring Satan and Saddam Hussein. Wow. 😳😳😳
The only episode of South Park where I was so disgusted with the episode was The Death of Chef and not b/c of Isaac Hayes leaving the show, but because they were openly promoting (not actually saying it's okay, but the nerve for them to include that in there is what I mean) child molestation which to me is one of the only things that I get offended by.
In what way we're they trying to promote Child Molestation? If you had paid attention to the context of the episode, it was very clear that the main characters were doing their best to un-brainwash Chef out of being a pedophile, but sadly failed. Everyone else that wasn't in that club was very much against what Chef was turned into (against his own will apparently). If anything, the episode was making fun of the group that made Isaac Hayes quit by portraying them as Pedophiles.
Dude, i was molested by a family member and still i think nothing is off limits in comedy. There are some great molesting jokes
You know your costume is offensive when even the devil has to tell you to wear a different costume
Let’s face it this could have been a watch mojo top 100 list and still have an honourable mentions list with it.
As a former Mormon, that episode was fucking hilarious
As a current Mormon the episode is hilarious! The “dum dum dum dum dum” line is gold. Don’t care what y’all think about my religion, the episode got a good laugh from from my seminary class
Yup. Card carrying Mormon And I laugh every time. Frankly, considering how hard they are on everyone I don't think they're that bad about Mormons. They may Joseph Smith a super best friend after all. Lol And I've seen interviews where they actually think we're some of the nicest people ever. I just know that everything on the Earth is fair game with them so I'm not insulted. It's hilarious.
@@LLC4269 yup we’re super nice not everyone is so strict on it but most missionaries are in their late 18’s to early 20’s and they’re all fun and nice and we’ll still young and have a bit of the child in them. Not trying to make anyone convert but at least be nice and wave to them if they pass by.
Oh, how we ❤️ ‘South Park: The Stick of Truth.’
😁
That was censored here, too. Thankfully a patch was put out for PC, so I could play the whole game as they intended.
The funniest part of the "Closetgate" episode to me was R Kelly's demeanor and expression as he walks out the front door with Tom Cruise and John Travolta. I've never heard anyone say anything about it, but I noticed it and it caused me to wonder "Wtf did he experience in that closet to cause that reaction??" 🤣🤣
Wow, I love South Park and have watched every single episode a number of times, I never picked up on that! Epic! Thanks for your comment.
South Park isn’t afraid of controversy
The Russian entry just made me bust out laughing.
Do they have uncensored versions of these episodes on Blu-ray or anything?
South Park is my favorite Cartoon TV Show. I never get offended by anything. It’s awesome.
@12:50 , it’s wild I grew up Mormon (LDS) and it took me a long time to do research outside of church doctrine. Looking back, it’s wild that this South Park episode was more based in reality, facts, and Joseph Smith’s journal than the current church teachings lmao. Fail on my part! Oh well…
This is the first time that I realized that Trapped In The Closet featured a Marklar.
Kids born from 1990-1999 are who we are because of south park 😂 I don't even bat an eye at curse words or anything anymore
This is only for adults!
Born later, but grew up with it. Its kinda exhausting now because the whole german TH-cam bubble is like "oh no no swear wowrds pwease uwu". Every time a youtuber cries about swears and offends I just can't to anything else than roll my eyes and loose a biiig sigh.
Hay China... If the shoe fits 🤣
that alien police space money stuff episode also show us finland destroyed, they dont have problem with it (seemingly)
No mention of the "All About Mormons" episode subsequently being written into becoming a multi-Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical?
Bloody hell, you folks are more clueless than Alicia Silverstone's character in the movie "Clueless"!
Matt and Trey didn’t even get around profanity at the Oscars and then here comes Willy Boy 😮💨
Blame Canada is currently my ringtone with all the crap and housing crisis that's happening right now
Kick a ginger day predates the south park episode by many years. I remember it in my school in 2002.
I’m a simple Rick… I see South Park, I click
The funny thing is, on top of 200 and 201, also The Cartoon Wars episodes were ultimately banned from airing again and they are also about the same issue. It's almost like... someone doesn't want censorship to be criticized so they censor the criticism.
Almost 😉😄
I thought that Indiana Jones episode was freaking hilarious 🤣🤣
I think you're not a rare specimen in that way 😄
Did Matt and Trey write the musical The Book of Mormon?
It's crazy that so many will never see episode 200 and 201. I was fortunate enough to see live but haven't seen since and can't rewatch like the episode super best friends or whatever when they actually show Mohammed but no one cared until several years later when it got pulled.
It is literally available to watch for free online on one of those free cartoon sites.
@@iseeeverything link one if you come across.
Why was "Proper Condom Use" on here twice?
TACO FLAVORED KISSES FOR MY BEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
I love South Park because it is hilariously offensive yet somehow at the same time is wholesome and teaches good values.
It was from watching Southpark episodes about Mormanism and scientology that inspired me to research both.
Have you seen Louis Theroux film on Scientology? It's fascinatingly bizarre what they do and believe.
They actually did it... They ACTUALLY PLAYED THE UNCENSORED VERSION OF THE FINAL SPEECH FROM 201! THAT TOOK SOME REAL GUTS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
I love almost every episode just cause it hits pretty accurate. Depicts how nasty some of the celebs are
It was the perfect cartoon for a rebellious young teenager in the late 90s when it first came out
Little kids swearing and dealing with grown-up situations like it's nothing
I remember the "it hits the fan" episode. Me and my boyfriend were in my room and my mom was one room over cleaning and organizing and she was a turbo-prude and when they started cursing, me and my boyfriend had to turn down the tv and sit closer to watch at low volumes. Fun times
Turn down the volume because of course words lol are you 12 or something
Thank you Matt and Trey!!!
Top Ten Worst South Park Decisions
The day the Mormon episode was released I watched it with my mormon parents. I was laughing my a*s off while my parents were like 😧😐
