In preparation for Season 20 (!!!) of SOUTH PARK, we created this special Wisecrack Edition exploring the show's philosophy of RELIGION over the past 19 years. Whether it be Jesus or Satan, Frosty the Snowman or God himself, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (who also created The Book of Mormon) aren't afraid of addressing religion head-on - even if it isn't exactly clear where the show stands on the issue. South Park forces us to take a hard look at what religion really means to us, and in the process, the show raises some important questions that other series wouldn’t have the nerve to ask.

the only thing that's sacred in South park:
"one should never fart on a man's balls"
or shoot someone in the dick
queef right on one's face
and Libertarianism
season 19 was mostly about mocking neo-liberalism tho
But that was broken :o
The beauty of Southpark is that the viewer's interpretation is what they want to believe. I've seen people on the right and on the left have vastly different opinions on the same episode, each believing the episode is making fun of the other when in reality it's probably making fun of both sides.
I've always seen them as spokesmen for the common-sense middle, they do frequently rag on left and right stupidity in the same episode. Supposedly they both lean towards libertarianism but they've never really pushed that on the show.
I think they do not push libertarianism because it would then lose the core of the show. The show and how it treats society is more of a pragmatic libertarian stance than a purist stand. The reason being is that a purist stance is impossible in any situation when there needs to be compromise and living alongside others. Both of the creators of South Park are registered Libertarians with the Party and the show is the simplest introduction to libertarianism I have seen. Man is flawed, so man should not force his views on other men.
this is why being moderate makes this show so hilarious
***** most people are moderates. They just believe they have to follow one of the radical groups.
exactly, the only consistent thing that it makes fun of is the act of taking sides against one another for risiculous reasons, something people haven't learned even tough we had a couple thousand years by now
What I love about the creators of this show is that they are fair, and pretty much judges everyone equally, because honestly humanity itself is just a mess
To summarize, fanatics ruin everything.

@@richardharrison4762 I can't get my head around that one. But I can say I have hear that new converts are the worst. They act like they got something to prove so they go full extremist.
Markvs Black make everything better*
Exactly.
Cultists also ruin everything.
People don't realize how genius South Park really is. Many people write it off as some inappropriate show where kids cuss and they fail to look past that to discover the incredible and brilliant satire in every episode. It's a real shame
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Fallout Unknown not really relevant, but I like that comment, even though it’s not original
Fallout Unknown, if that’s a joke in itself; bravo. You sound like a moron just for saying that in the most irrelevant place.
White House Fuck off snowflake
in a lot of episodes, but honestly it’s pretty inconsistent. A few episodes are crap and some are incredible.
This is a surprisingly civil comment section.
Don't jinx it.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK YOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I was bracing myself for a controversial and offensive top comment, but saw this first instead. That's a good sign.

@@zairnermuller4960 really? Youve evaluated the worldviews of every single pastor and every single bishop/priest/minister for the vatican? Incredible, you must be Richard Dawkins son or something
-Trump
The best part about South Park is, unlike Family Guy or American Dad, it doesn't take a political side. It's truly neutral-even with the last election. Yeah, they voiced who they thought would be the better choice, but they didn't say that she would be a good president. They didn't take a stand with either republicans or democrats. That's why I think they are the best satire. Because they are actually trying to show the ridiculousness of the entire world, not just of the other group.
Yeah. There's a quote from Trey Parker that I love-"You got people screaming on this side and you have more people screaming on this side, and sometimes it's okay to just stand in the middle laughing at both of them."
+ChocolateCoveredBacon
I have always felt that South Park has very professional humour - the characters don't "TRY" to be funny, they just ARE funny because the storylines are awesome.
Bollocks they don't take a side.
They are very clearly supporters of establishment republicanism.
Compare their portrayals of George Bush and Sarah Palin (both rife for parody yet presented in their respective episodes as ordinary, neutral characters) to their portrayal of Trump (and later Mr Garrison).
You are confusing "they say what I want to hear" with neutrality.
You even said it yourself, they voiced who they thought would be a better choice. That's not neutrality by any stretch of the definition.
You don't have to show unequivocal support to take a side.
colin3ds they literally said they were Republicans the other day
colin3ds yea true
The portrayal of science as "hypermasculine" and requiring finality and definite answers to all questions is absolute bullshit. Science only requires that if we claim we know something, then we know it for certain. Religion never says "I don't know" while science says it all the time... In fact, that's what science does, it finds things we don't know, investigates them till we understand them, and then we find even more questions that we don't know coming out of what we do know.
It is religion that requires absolute certainty. Science only requires absolute honesty and absolute curiosity.
butthurt antifeminists
+Jeevan lazar as much as I respect science and being a lover of science my self you must admit that many of the things in science are based off of faith, hell just look at subatomic particles, their is no real way for us to see them and our detection methods are shoddy at best and yet we believe in them, there is literally more evidence to the existence of Noah's ark then there is of atomic and subatomic particles.
That's the problem with Wise Crack.
They seem to have VERY little knowledge on what a Scientist is. What an
Atheist is, etc. This has not been the only video where they blindly
describe Atheist or Non-Religious people... and describe them HIGHLY
inaccurately. They are clearly Pro-Religion, though they try to make it
seem like they're balanced and fair.
Truly, they're not
actually the one true religion can be found on reddit.com/thechurchofakmed seek unto glory and salvation brothers
+PeachesforMe science is completely based off of theories so I believe that wise crack gave a basis of what religion is
this show is a lot smarter than many people realize
Kinda. But you can't say it isn't blasphemous. Till they joke about religions,it's fine but when they says blasphemies it isn't.
@@al_hex99 Well it kinda just sounds like you’re a whiny libtard. They always complain about how you shouldn’t laugh at stuff and they ruin humor. Maybe you should try being less sensitive.
Three years ago but anytime someone says blasphamous I can't help but picture them being a medieval peasant.
"The Mormons yes, the Mormons were the correct answer"
😂😂😂
...said the Mormon
As a Mormon, I love laughing along to all the Mormon jokes. Truly, I do like to laugh at the rediculousness of things
Have you seen the musical?
Dude, I love that comment!
Funny enough I'm not Mormon anymore haha
Alex Roach why’d you leave brother? I’m a Christian ✝️
I left for many, many reasons. Do your research on their history and you'll see why
I'm cool with religion as long as it's not used for violence or pushed on to others.
That's the same thing for me too.
Religion doesn't cause violence though. People just use it as an excuse because people suck
S7Robin
So basically no Islam then. Sounds great!
+S7Robin but the same would go for atheists. If someone is religious they shouldn't be forced atheism down their throats when they weren't trying to do anything and just said something as simple as "Merry Christmas" instead of "happy holidays".
That's why I dislike atheists, they do the very same thing they accuse religious people of doing. That's why I also love South Park. They make fun of contradictions, no matter creed, race or origin and imo that's why South Park also gets less shit for what they do than other shows.
Edit: Essentially the show is only saying, no matter what you believe, don't be a jerk and we should be alright.
Autumn the Border Collie islam has nothing to do with violence, people just use it as an excuse.
I'm agnostic and the strict agnostics episode cracked me up cause they made a point of drinking only agnostic beverages and it was Dr. Pepper, and I was drinking Dr. Pepper as I watched it. I feel so called out lol
I’m agnostic too and it’s funny because I feel like we’re the most tolerant and open-minded of irreligious groups
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 We really are though. Our core religion is accepting we might be wrong or we might be right. We also accept the same in others. It’s a nice way to live.
"i have no idea what i believe or why i believe it and thats hilarious to me"
As far as I'm aware, only agnostics and atheists can take a joke.
@nuclearcatbaby1131 Atheists too.
As a Christian, I enjoy both South Park and this video.
@Genexolev Ashtiani Why?
You are nothing lol
@@lovingpurrs8388 Are you angry that theres a Christian out there who isnt offended?
@@spartankongcountry6799 what christian?? There isnt any Christian watching this stuff lol...fake ass ppl lol
Social Apple I’m a Christian and South Park is my favorite show; we do exist :)
"It is a test of a good religion if you are able to joke about it or not." G.K. Chesterton
I am a Christian and I love this show. The fact that they make fun of EVERYONE is what makes it so great. I know it's blasphemous at times, but that's okay because I don't want Christianity getting any special treatment from the makers of the show. I was raised in a Christian household (pentecostal) but then left to re-evaluate my life and came back with a clearer view of things. My only wish is that people would stop being so religious, creating rules around rules. I hate the fact that when atheists think of Christians (most of them) they think of sheep, worshipping a fairy in the sky blindly. There are down to earth Christians, that see the Bible not as a book of rules, but as guide. Sorry for the rant, it's just been on my mind lately and felt it was appropriate in the comment section of South Park lol, since it has this amazing ability to bring anyone and everyone together. Can't wait for season 20!
I,partially,disagree. I don't like the fact that it's blasphemous. You can "joke" about religions but not saying blasphemies. Just look at the Simpsons
@@al_hex99 I'd have thought that an omnibenevolent, omnipresent, omniscient and all mighty god would have slightly thicker skin, wouldn't you think so too?
@@beardieblighter9905 maybe,who know.
But the point is if you say blasphemies you aren't respecting those who believe. If you believe why are you cursing? And if you don't ,who are you cursing?
They make never fun about islam too mich scary
@@al_hex99 There is no reason to respect stupid beliefs sorry. The death cult that is Christianity doesn't give a crap about this world because Jesus is coming back any day now. The people who come after us will have to pay the price for this stupidity. The dumbest thing I've ever heard is the universe is here because of all powerful GOD that gives a shit about what intelligent Apes do in their bedrooms. What is he the human breeder? Just think about the trillions of stars that almost all have planets. What percentage of them probably have life it's almost certainly billions and billions. Humans aren't special in a cosmic sense just another lifeform if something all powerful exists it certainly has more important things to do than worrying about the insignificant life forms on one planet.
I get so hyped when I see these videos on my subscriptions!

Science asserts absolute certainty? Since when?
Since snarky adolescent cool kids couldn't figure out the difference between science and religion and just started pretending they were so cool they were above it all.
+Evan Sageser Well, we are ;)
Indeed , science is built with uncertainty, suspicion and wonder ....... if someone claims he has the ultimate answers (like the religious people) then he is not scientist at all !
Never. Science is built on creating as complete an understanding of the working universe as possible through tests and observation but at no point has ever claimed to know anything with absolute certainty.
+Žiga i
Since Maraget Wertheim needed an excuse to bitch about toxic masculinity.
A good scientist does accept ambiguity. You go a bit too far in trying to paint everyone with the same brush. There are plenty of scientists that will be able to say they don't have all the answers. And the ones that don't are not respectable.
SapphireShield but many people do like answers, and that's why they follow religion. I just don't understand why atheists cannot except the fact that not every person is like themselves!
It comes down to facts. One side argues that they are correct despite all counter points. The other says they are most likely right and takes into account counter points, constantly updating their "facts" to achieve the most true truth.
Only the real masculine ones don't apparently
@@johnex1029 Define "facts." There are no scientific discoveries that hurt religious beliefs or argue that religious beliefs are false, Likewise religion in and of itself does not denigrate scientific discoveries. The only time either becomes an issue is when someone tries to use partial bits of one to build a whole philosophy from by which they achieve some sort of grandeur at the expense of others. Dawkins, for example, is never engage din science when he argues for atheism. He is engaged in philosophy, and a philosophy that has nothing to do with science at that. But he is content to dress it up in scientific terms to appeal to the ignorant. He makes himself look good and sound smart to people who have barley any grasp on either subject and that makes him rich. Likewise with the people who run the Young Earth Creationist Museum. There is nothing inherently biblical about YEC. The Bible never details the Creation process and the brief descriptions given to it are embroiled deeply in symbolism. But a lot of people make a lot of money from insisting that the Creation account is 100% literal. They're not defending their religion- if anything they're attesting to their ignorance of it. Rather, like Dawkins, they're twisting what they claim to believe in to make money.
@@PierzStyx "Facts" according to the Oxford dictionary: A thing that is known or proved to be true.
"There are no scientific discoveries that hurt religious beliefs or argue that religious beliefs are false..."
I'll use Christianity as a benchmark. Copied from the following link, here are the first four of the eight reasons why Christianity is false. www.atheistalliance.org/thinking-out-loud/eight-reasons-christianity-is-false/.
1. There is clear evidence that prayer does not work despite the Bible promising prayers will be answered.
2. There is clear evidence that humans invent gods. Humans have invented so many gods that the default assumption should be that a god is a supernatural entity invented by humans. Christianity would need solid evidence that the Jewish god is an exception to this rule but there is no such evidence.
3. There is clear evidence that religions and gods are propagated through culture by infecting children, and no evidence that they are propagated by gods.
4. There is clear evidence that Christianity has evolved as human understanding of the world has changed whilst a real, God-given religion, should never need to change.
The following support the above; numbered to match.
1. From this link www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/31pray.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0.
"In the study, the researchers monitored 1,802 patients at six hospitals who received coronary bypass surgery, in which doctors reroute circulation around a clogged vein or artery."
"Analyzing complications in the 30 days after the operations, the researchers found no differences between those patients who were prayed for and those who were not."
2. This link shows the contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities and flaws in the bible which are indicative that the bible is man-made as a perfect being would not have any of these. www.news24.com/MyNews24/Proof-that-religion-is-a-man-made-device-and-why-it-is-outdated-this-article-mainlyuses-Christiani-20141017.
3. Per Wikipedia, "Some secular critics believe that all religions indoctrinate their adherents, as children, and the accusation is made in the case of religious extremism." [Harris, Sam (2011). The moral landscape. Simon and Schuster.]
4. "How has Christianity changed?Its moral standards, the outward marks of holiness, the “do’s and don’t’s” seem always to be changing. When I was young, you knew you were a Christian because you didn’t drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, gamble, play cards, or go to dances or movies. When I was young. women weren’t acceptable candidates for ministry. When I was young, openly homosexual men and women weren’t acceptable candidates for ministry." www.firstcongucc.org/Texts/pdf_files/How_Christianity_has_changed.pdf.

Religions are like fandoms, there is just as many decent people as there are toxic people. Just don’t let the toxicity blind you to the genuinely good people of every fandom.
And also if you decide to join the fandom, you don’t get to decide who your favorite characters are
These guys are an American treasure!! If you go back and watch seasons from 10 years ago its like taking a trip down memory lane of pop culture and current events. Its freaking amazing!

You know what? Why can't it be silly? Being silly or not has little bearing on its merit.
He said it was ridiculous, because it IS ridiculous. The notion of the entire universe existing for literally no reason is an absurd concept for people to grasp regardless of it's potential truthfulness.
Thanks for demonstrating the point made in the video perfectly.
Like literally. All of you whining about it are doing nothing but proving them correct and making yourselves look like unintelligent dogmatic morons.
***** Basically. What they're saying is that it is silly like many things, and realizing that makes the squabbles over it look petty.
I like the video. I disagree with conclusion. I do not think the answer is that we should not take ourselves to seriously in our pursuits. Simply, we should not be jerks about it.
I couldn't agree more.
It's not his conclusion. It's the conclusion of Parker and Stone
Idk I'm not gonna take anything seriously. Humans try that too much I'm done with that shit. It gets tiring
If no-one would ever be serious about anything we'd never advance. Life is trivial, and only becomes serious when you make it so, but imagine if we'd have similar opinions about anti-slavery, or gay liberation movements.
Brian Glaze Actually, Brian, I think you do agree with the conclusion, as I do as well. To me, taking ourselves "too seriously" means being jerks about it. Of course we should take our pursuits and beliefs seriously, but we just shouldn't take them "too" seriously and become jerks and treat people we disagree with badly...
This is some top-notch religious studies research! Loved it.

Great video, I subscribed! I'm Christian and I love South Park, they make jokes out of everything, don't forget they made fun of atheists too lol
Yes, same
@matthew Brooks
No one can answer that for each individual but a lot of atheists are angry because they feel like they have been lied to their whole lives after being forced into a religion as a child. They also see the harm religion does to the world. If the religious were tolerant of other peoples beliefs and allow society to be secular rather than forcing their beliefs onto others via law then people would not be so angry.
+Matthew Brooks the same could be said about theists.
+Sneaky Rafiki Almost all religions teach not to force religion on people, it's not religion doing the wrong, it's people misinterpreting it.
Logan L Ofcourse, As I said if people had tolerance and didn't force their religious beliefs onto others then there wouldn't be a problem.

"Well...kinda...they just live longer, they seem like nice people."
"What about the Christians? Or the pope?"
"We have a few popes, and a couple saints and such, but most of the time it's a soft-serve scoop of hell."
im jewish and actually pretty religious but south park is one of my favorite shows ever. i also consider kyle to be decent jewish representation. i came to this video because im actually writing an essay on south park’s views on religion for my media clas
You must be a glutton for punishment. 🤣😂
I’m the same way (except I’m Catholic). I love this show so much along with my mom, who is one of the most devout people I’ve ever known. My dad, on the other hand, isn’t super religious but thinks this show is satanic. 😂
My day was going just fine until I came to the comment section.
(o my goddd that was awesome!)
This seems to be one of the more rational comment sections I have seen in a ling time, but maybe I haven't gotten to the vile part yet...
Your South Park philosophy episodes are what got me into this channel. Loving your work, you're becoming one of my favorites!
I enjoyed this video. You vocalized my thoughts, and altered my thinking just enough to not just keep my interest, but also spark my own interest.
Love your unique points of view and well spoken and supported statements. Bravo again.
10:45 I dont get it, I hear that a lot lately... what does it make this drive "to know in finality" masculine? what stands behind that? please dont say feminist theory
Yeah this, that comment was really out of place. I mean if using science to gain finality to questions is masculine, I don't wanna know what femininity is. Complacency?
I think Margaret was trying to say that the way these people pursue answers is masculine, not that pursuing answers is masculine in and of itself.
Still not sure why she called it masculine, though.
Truth is one of the pillars of masculinity.
The others being love and physical strength.
The extreme need to know the 100% accurate truth for everything, is where the hyper comes in.
He's using masculine in the sense that it is human nature, not something that is something male-ish
As a general concept masculinity is defined by a sense of control and dominance, whereas femininity would be surrendering control and subservience. Not being able to accept that there is something that is unknowable, and being unable to ignore to the challenge of finding the meaning of life would then be masculine. More social theory than feminist theory. I think even redpill folks would agree with that.

I just started it last week and it was great.
This has to be one of the best videos on religion I've seen in a long time, and it's source was South Park
Such an excellent analysis. I had never heard of the myth of redemptive violence but it illuminates so much of my own life and personal thoughts.
All the comments insistent on generalizing all of religion as inane and complaining science / atheism aren't comparable to it in any way on a philosophical level are just kind of proving their point honestly.
Makes sense. The most vocal people in a TH-cam comment section are usually those who have the least amount of self-awareness.
Here come people who going to get TRIGGERED!!!!!
I don't see anyone getting triggered. Only you saying the triggered people are coming...
lmao really
+Jordan W. The triggered people are the commenters who can't accept that this video is showing how South Park takes a grey stance on religion.
damn trigger on my nerf gun.
It's become a thing now to use that as a viewpoint defense. Which is just as weird as triggering and micro aggressions are in the first place.
4:07 Btw Thats the picture of Emile Zola the french naturalist novelist etc. not Durkheim (he was bald) :) . There is a mistake in google images stock footage that when you type Durkheim you get one picture of Zola.
Such a great video and really informative, i used this as a source for a religion assignment on tv shows and it was great summary and information and generally enjoyable. Thanks!
You all should do a video over the philosophy of Moral Orel.
Yes I still don't understand that show, it would be great if this channel explains it to me since most of the stuff explained in this video I was only able filter about half of it (and that's good enough for me)
I highly agree
That would be amazing!
You had until you got to 11:00. Science is about seeking better explanations to phenomena we seek, but when it has no answer it just says it has no answer. Stating that you don't see any meaning in the universe is not the same as saying that the universe is meaningless. The former is the acknowledgement of a lack of an answer and the later is an answer.
I agree with this statement. However, I think the point being made on that topic in the video is that both religion and science are not Infallible and both religions and scientific individuals can be bigoted about their claims.
You mean you only heard what you wanted to hear up until 11:00.
as always it's all fine until we start criticising atheism
Well that was way more enlightened than I expected. I subscribed , nice work!
Dont believe
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
Nice one.
I wonder what Buddha and Jesus would think of eachother if they met...
Kudos to Wisecrack for consistently putting out thoughtful, well-made content like this! Proud to be a subscriber! Keep it up!
I think the episode that shows their views on religion the best is the episode All About Mormons. They both make fun of and shed light to the religion. they make fun of the beliefs but show the family as very friendly, wholesome people. It's at the very end of the episode that is a big reason to why i respect SP. They have Stan not want to hang out with the Mormon kid and the Mormon kid finally tells him that they obviously can't be friends anymore because Stan can't get past that he's a Mormon and the Mormon kid says this " Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high mighty that you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls." The episode didn't turn all religious people into nut jobs who just want to be assholes while still making fun of Mormon belief at the same time. Now that is hard to do. if any show that is about making fun of everything can make their work into a non biased thing, that is something to respect honestly. Trey and Matt aren't atheists either. i think Matt said he's agnostic and Trey said there has to be something going on that we don't understand, but he doesn't believe in any religion we've made on earth. He just believes there has to be something big out there but that it shouldn't be something we should fight over. Those are very good outlooks on the world really.
That essentially means Trey is a Deist. Also I agree, with our current technology we can’t be sure if a god exists or not but in the future we may have a definitive answer
As a practicing Mormon, I can say that I'm pretty sure Trey and Matt are about as pro-Mormon as any two atheists/agnostics can possibly be
@@danielstark8356 well yea, they grew up around Mormons and I think Trey dated one in highschool. They obviously don't believe in the Mormon religion, they just find it fascinating and grew up around it.
But still nhilist atheism does not make any sense we are just an experiment cause and each life does not matter whether he became something big for his community it is just canon event their are multiple infinite timeline and parallel universes so it's just makes it a canon event peopl just came as cause and will end as a cause their existence does not matter to universe maybe but it matter to his community and his/her planet @@AssassinKillua15
These videos are so well-researched with great analyses of pop culture, I am very impressed.

Nobody "deserves" anything
the ultimate truth is for every answer we come with, a dozen questions will pop-up.
There is no final answer, and if we ever find it. Will anyone really care?
yes
Excellent video, well researched, well prepared radical mentoring and microphonic voice on top.Great work, thanks!
Interesting with some good analysis of religion from both sides something which Matt and Trey are IMO consistently great at 👍
i love this series ty, keep up the good work!
South Park: Makes funny jokes
Wisecrack: *SOUTH PARK'S PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION*
I have watched this maybe 14 times and the one thing that is amazingly still true is that I am still super into you Jared. Oh and thug notes is fucking fantastic. I guess that's two.
This is why I love South Park, they don't hold their punches and will ridicule just about anything and anyone, no one is safe, nothing is sacred, no one is above, no exceptions, no holds barred, and they're merciless.
They showed Muhammed in this video. I wonder if they'll get in trouble for that.
nah, btw i am a muslim
+Ezab Quader you aren't a very good Muslim if you're ok with images of Muhammad. You must be a half assed mussy
there's nothing in Islam prevents showing images of Muhammad!! did you trouble yourself with reading a bit about the subject?
you said his name i wonder if you get in trouble for that
J Lester bro I am not drawing the image of prophet Muhammad, south park is. In Islam it is forbidden to worship the prophet or his images
I see. Its not that religion itself should be eradicated. Its humanity in general!
I see.Its not that your reproductive system itself should be eradicated. Its your family in general! (If this is sarcasm,I'm stupid then)
I mean, you're on the right track with the eradicating humanity, but I think that's making it happen too fast. I say we just remove the warning labels off of stuff. The humanity problem will slowly, but surely, sort itself out.
Rydia Strife Well. That which makes us irrational humans at least.
Rydia Strife you can start with yourself ;)
CONTIGENCY PROTOCOL ENABLED ... eradicate biological lifeforms
Very good analisys, was fun to watch and it's hard to disagree with.
the myth of redemptive violence looks like the base of many superheroes philosopies. They are the new gods of this time and they have the ideological ideas of this time
ooh this comment section is going to be... interesting
Much more Civil than I thought I would be
+Joseph Fox Give it time, the zealots are coming.
I think its civil becuase the video didnt really bash religon or atheism but also made fun of both. Nothing to really argue about and it also gave explantions for both.
I'm Jewish, but I'm never bothered when Cartman makes fun of jews. I even find some of his jew jokes funny.
Some of these crackheads would say, "Your not jewish then"
I love new ways to see things.Love this video
These videos are excellent!!
It's interesting how literally EVERYONE picks on Christianity but not any other religion.
Something being more popular means more people talk about it. That's because Christianity is the biggest religion, but a lot of people also pick on Muslims, especially Christians since they think they're so much better.
+Kendall Sain trust me when I say just because people go to church doesn't mean they r christian or even when they say they r, I hate being grouped together with hypocrites.
+GamingSeer _ I don't understand how Christianity is a problem with progress in the world
actually a majority pick on islam and christianity because those are two of the most wide spread religions on the planet
+GamingSeer _ idk if u were the one I typed to before but I hate being grouped with idiots who claim to be Christian cause honestly I love science and don't oppose it at all, God and science go hand in hand and I would never EVER make fun of an LGBT group, Jesus wouldn't either, just as Jesus would love them I would love them too as well as we should anyone. People need to realize that u can love someone without loving what they do
Margareth Wertheim sounds, based on this video, like she is conflating science with the colloquial misapprehension of what science is. I haven't read the book, so I don't know. What I do know is that science is not about knowing absolute truth, nor to explain without evidence. It's just methodological naturalism.
A great example of this is the word "Theory". The scientific meaning and common idea of the definition is very different. What a lot of people think of Theory, is actually Hypothesis. And the misinterpretation in the media has caused serious problems. Just my opinion.
damn, maybe i should actually try watching this show then XD great vid!
this is the best channel on TH-cam I've seen so Far .
"No, not Santa's balls!" 😂😂 soooooo ducking funny 😂😂😭
3:34 so wold Peace can be achieved by painting a cow with red spots and then a van Helen and pace will reign.
Hey @Wisecrack - just letting you know, this video is the one that convinced me to subscribe!
I'm a evangelical Christian, and I love the show, i know that some topics are full of controversy, but that's what makes me respect it is that it is fearless and takes no sides on politics and religion, legit makes fun of everything and it lightens things up if you think about it. Just a great show in general, and if it continues it can break the boundaries of the post modern world and get us to think a little more clearly
Stone + Parker = Stoner
The comparison of religion and science is one of the very few things i disagree with mat and tray on.
That seemed like an old interview, wouldn't be surprised if they changed their opinion at this point.
Possibly, but something tells me they are being disingenuous. By saying that science claims about this universe are just as ridiculous as religious ones, gives them some leverage when attacked by religious nutjobs. They can say "all your claims are beatifully ridiculus to us". Thats sort of bipartisanship makes me cringe.
Yup, this video is quite cringe-inducing.
Kind of like comparing blackholes and relationships. Although you can study both, humans are not required for one of them to exist.
its the intire point is thst people make it ridiculous. of course science isnt a religion that would be ideotic. unfortunally idiots are not in short supply and i have seen many self righteous idiot atheist treat science as a religion becouse there to proud to admit the dont understand most of it.
"stan stand for standing"
so many books mentioned! love it
love your south park eps. very spot on. I'd LOVE to see Wisecrack talk about family structures, LGBTQ issues, or philosphy in Steven Universe & Adventure Time
Love this channel. Now i have allayed my Catholic guilt at loving South Park and can defend it without conflict or feeling hypocritical when I am offended. Wish I had been smart enough to articulate this so concisely. Is it just Jared who works on this channel? If so good work!
Yes Chad
Being Catholic and being a South Park fan: That is being Chad.
@@portonpuertaacebedo4512 same story for me, so that means I’m also a chad?
Loved seeing your Kraftwerk shirt. Just found out about that band :P
amazing analysis !
You guys need to do, like, SEVERAL videos on Mr. Robot
Season 3 Episode 13 with Starvin' Marvin is also another really interesting rip all over humanity tied with religion. Religion is never truly looked down upon, just the people that use it to profit. People manipulate and oppress other people for profit under the facade of educating others on religion, and the episode shows this in hilarious and even profound fashion.
I needed this right now. I'm glad South Park is as genius as it is. I really gotta watch the entire series from the beginning.
I just used this video as a basis for a paper in my sociology class.
amazing video, and i have to go rewatch the imagination lands
A real scientist doesn't assume they know everything and knows they can't know everything...
... do you think some people don't know this?
Some don't.
So do Religious people. That's why it's called faith.
+Pants Can Bowl Faith is trust backed by evidence.
Then whats the point of trying?
I really need to watch a season of South Park--2 great videos on them here
frick'n awesome!! love this video!!! shows just how much of a masterpiece south park really is
'I know enough to exploit it'
That made me laugh
"Religion = money" - Woody Johnson
WOW! For someone who left religion and has focused their entire channel on getting people out, this is eye opening to say the least.
"The question isn't whether or not your beliefs are ridiculous. The question is whether or not you know it."
I remember when i watched the episode where cartman goes to future and aethiests have fight over the name. That was a single 20 minutes that changed my opinion on religion and many other aspects. Like it opened my mind. That was masterful
7:35 props for showing the uncut version of the Muhammad cartoon.
You know the show creators here done a fantastic job when the head of the Scientology got so pissed off they went through your garage looking for dirt about them. Not to mention they summed up Catholicism up to being a cult that’s run by a giant spider. Matt and Trey have always done an excellent job with their show and what direction they wanted to go.
I've gotten the message "people are people and we tend to suck but let's keep trying, guys!" from every episode regardless of topic lol
love how u showed the flying spaghetti monster
