I have lived my whole life, still do, in a very strict Christian home.
Not as strict as some, I'll admit, but very strict in their beliefs.
As such, the most comedic show I was allowed to watch growing up was Spongebob.
I was at a church christmas family game night at the end of 2012 when my best friend introduced to me what would become my second favorite television show. Not hard considering TV isn't something I enjoy terribly much, but even still.
Anyway, utilizing various resources, I began to watch the entire series, starting with the first episode.
I watched all 238 episodes in less than two weeks. I was hooked.
As much as the humor was well done, the messages crude, the plot to the series was much better than I would have expected from a show of this particular genre.
As much as they seem to seek to offend almost every type of person in existance, they also tackle important political and social issues in a fun and intertaining way.
What do my bros and sistas think of the show? I am mighty curious.
I've got one friend who seems to think it a sin to watch the show, and he's anything but religious.
Well, what do you think?
If you haven't seen the series, I'd recommend it to you. Might be a mistake to start from the beginning as I did.
The show wasn't quite as smoothed out then, although many favorites come from those seasons.
It may also be interesting to note the seventeenth season is currently in progress.

I've always loved South Park. It's one of my favorite shows.
I can see why some people might be offended by the jokes on the South Park, but I don't really think the jokes should be taken seriously. It's a comedy, that's all it's meant to be.

And like you said, they make jokes about everyone and everything, so it's not like they're "targeting" a specific group of people. It's all in fun, Trey Parker and Matt Stone ( the producers of South park ) don't intend to offend anyone.

South Park is an awesome show! It's not just a bunch of fart jokes, the episodes are actually well thought out. It takes political and social issues and presents them in an entertaining way that really makes people think.

Like I just said in another post, I LOVE SOUTH PARK. What everyone else said about well thought out jokes and stuff is entirely true. It is 100x better than Family Guy.
