The Anatomy of South Park's Darkest Episode 

Quit watching when you dissed Towlie. Get some class.

@@KahosSaint This is the funniest comment on here and it's not even close

Please explain more episodes of South Park to me. I don't understand their satire and I'm too young for the references, But I want to like it.

@Brandon Raney Well into its 19th season, “South Park” has obtained the reputation of being a satirical, rather crass cartoon series that often tests the boundaries of irreverence. The style has undoubtedly brought the television series massive success and thus a review of the show once again proclaiming its excellence seems rather ridiculous. Nevertheless, the reputation among many regarding the sheer vulgarity of “South Park”is what makes this so necessary. “South Park” is not merely vulgar. The show is irreverent yes, but vulgarity is often synonymous with stupidity and as “South Park”has proven to many of its fans over the years, and particularly to me since the dawn of its nineteenth season, “South Park” is far more than just funny, it’s remarkably intelligent. In this season, “South Park”has refocused its satire on a new group in particular: the politically correct. With a new principal that essentially embodies a college student in a fraternity, “South Park” has managed to poke fun at the overly sensitive society that perhaps creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have had to deal with far too often over the course of its previous 18 seasons. This senseless need to deal with what is politically correct has thus been embodied throughout several, if not every episode, this season. For example, in the season premiere “Stunning and Brave”, Kyle is shamed for believing that Caitlyn Jenner is not as heroic as the politically correct proclaim. It then becomes rather evident that aside from just Kyle, others agree with Kyle’s stance, who claims that he should not be fascinated by Caitlyn Jenner merely because she is now a woman if he wasn’t fond of Bruce Jenner prior to the transition. The others are afraid to speak up regarding their argument, as they fear the taunting and overly heated arguments of the politically correct. In the end, Kyle, having been harassed as a backwards thinking bigot, must succumb to the majority and take the stance of the politically correct. Whether you believe Caitlyn Jenner is a hero or not is besides the point. The point is that Stone and Parker managed to demonstrate how being PC can often drive one to be fearful of their own arguments against the majority, against what they believe is simply not common sense. This is not to say that political correctness is the worst threat to society, but “South Park’s” ability to blatantly demonstrate its flaws through comedy proves that Parker and Stone’s intentions are not merely to offend, but rather to enlighten.

@@ashleyyy774 My confusion is based around older seasons that reference situations and celebrities that i'm not familiar with,because its as old I am. It's a very fun way to learn about recent history in america because I have to google a lot of things each episode. I've always been aware of South Park as a giant serialized cartoon, I was never interestedin it because it's kinda ugly and the most well known reference I saw were gross and weird so I never saw a reason to be interested .I never understood that it was about social cultural commentary until very recently. It's amazing how a show can be so quick to reference recent cultural events but,I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be paying attention to something that is referencing something that happened at the time of the episode or if it's supposed to be annoying or gross because that's the point so I pay attention to the wrong things Because i'm Looking for pop culture references and trying to remember what was happening at the time of the episode airing. The trapper keeper is cool and weird but I wish I knew what it was about. I watch the episodes randomly so a lot of jokes that are based in the serialization of the show are lost on me. Jackovasuras was completely confusing and annoying and originally turned me off to the show, I'm still not sure what is completely about. Also the characters and plot devices are just really complicated And well done it's very cool for somebody to explain what is happening right in front of me. Because I don't realize what's going on and why I like The characters and why i'm interested in the story.

And was it their idea to show up and make fun of Scott while he cried over his dead parents too?

Probabibly

Best band, holy crap

Source?

There is a joke needed here, can’t exactly put my finger on it

Yes this! I’m glad I was able to see it as a kid, back in the day of 10-hours of copyrighted content on RU-vid, it was in one of those things and not my friends or even parents believed me on that fact 😂

Actually Cartland mom is also his dad she’s an hermaphrodite she got drunk one night and… well you know how baby’s are made

Wait wat??? I thought his mom was his dad?? I'm so confused now,..

@@person420 that was retconned in episode 201 Scott Tenormans dad is Cartmans real dad.

@@Squiddy-go1du oh I thought it was the other way around my bad

Imagine being in trial for first degree murder and cannibalism, and you say "But your honor! He scammed me out of my 16$ and released a humiliating video of me!"

@@nataliaborys1554 legally speaking you could argue homicide by proxy, but that would incriminate the other boys as well as Scott because they were also linked in the chain of events that led to their deaths. (He didn’t directly kill them.) Also a lot of states don’t have laws against cannibalism at most he would face largely charges of tampering with a crime scene and what he did to the corpses.

Not really, scott took his $16:12

I can't tell if that's a perfect introduction, or a horrible one

You need to start from season 1 ep 1

Bro this the first time ive seen a comment from a youtuber i like while searching through new

Hi Blooms

Lies again? Anal To Malay

How did you respond to the episode? I've got to know. XD

My first episode was the one where the southpark priest goes to the vatican to change the holy text and people shove food up their butts and crap out their mouths.... ahhh to be nine years old again.

My first episode involved Kenny crawling into the bus driver ladies vajayjay as some sort of stunt (I'm vague on the details since I never saw that episode again) and then dying as she expelled his dead body from her... cavity. I was around 9 or 10 at the time at the time.

Definitely not their best song

What are you talking about?

@@Python-xs2iv I'm interpreting why Cartman changed so drastically at the end of this episode. The video shows Stan and Kyle trying to betray him, Radio Head being assholes, Scott being manipulative, and his parents being killed as collateral. All of it was orchestrated by Cartman because he correctly assumed the worst out of people

@@ICantRecognizeCelebrities Are radiohead that bad?

@@Python-xs2iv Bruh they went to a town to bully a 10 year old lmao.

@@fatty1040 That's pretty pathetic

I must say, JKM, your interests and swaths of general knowledge are varied and quite wide!

Nada compara con La Rosa de Daniel Profeta 🙏

I thought when he said he didn't account for it he meant the chilli being good not the chef turning up with it 😅

My favorite line from the episode

I disagree since this always seems like a natural progression of his character, and not anything forced or cheap AKA character developement. Like when that episode first aired everybody loved it, And talked about it. In that moment for all we knew the series could have ended next season, and yet I never heard anybody say that it was bad writing. Meanwhile with a show like the simpsons, people were talking about how flanderized Homer was and how much worse it was getting when it was happening, and with family guy they were talking about how much worse the characters had gotten by season 5. We can tell when something is gotten worse while it happens. Instead people were talking about how South Park was just getting better and better. It's more like when a series hasn't quite established its sense of humor yet and then starts to hit the steam in later seasons when it's finally starting to know what it's good at and what it's bad at. That doesn't sound like flanderization to me.

Wait Cartman WASNT a sociopath in the first 3 seasons?

@@aspectparadox6654 he was a spoiled manipulative ass hole, not a monster like after this.

Appreciate it my friend, thank you for watching.

I was so caught off guard by how insane the ending was.

@@danielprofeta Can't get allowance he bragged about from dead parents. Only inheritance now.

I remember this episode came out around the time the movie "Hannibal" was released in theatres. When I saw this episode I immediately thought of that

And it's 4 AM again And I'm doing nothng again... Thanks for watching!:)

Yes you wanted to see Cartman get the boy.

everything that once was sad, is somehow funny now..

@@danielprofeta the holocaust & 9/11.. that’s shits funny 24/7

​@@magic8ballin cause tragedy will be exclusively joked about!!

Hey, I've missed seeing your comments, thanks for watching!

@Ben Henderson He has a doctorate according to old episodes where people refer to and address him by the title.

I think he is the epitome of a fat little punk (and that's the kindest thing I can say about this shithead)

Heheh, just you wait:)

These are the type of quality comments that hold this great platform together.

💀💀

Because it's funny

Aw, thank you! Hopefully you ended up liking the video

@@danielprofeta i loved it! i know it might get discouraging at times when it comes to posting content you’re passionate about and catering to what the audience wants and knows you for (aka dhmis), but do try to keep that balance in mind, even if it feels like people won’t appreciate other stuff. we do, and you never know when you might make someone’s day! i for one found this very insightful, entertaining: i certainly plan to watch plenty more videos whenever you’re able to make them ❤️

@@bittersweetcoffee8822 Thank you for the kind words! I'm actually not discouraged at all though haha, my videos used to average 50-150 views on this channel and 500 on my other channel. I made this South park video not knowing if anyone would care about it and it went past 1K, that's a huge win:) Here's to neverending entertainment as the world burns to ashes.

@@danielprofeta if the world is burning to ashes, your channel makes it a sick bonfire 🔥

💀💀 He's not being serious

@@Ejsoskrmfucosj how can you tell

Most of the comments are just jokes, no one would actually feed someone they don’t like their dead parents.

Woooo. Just remember, everything is downhill after 25!

I watched a change in you, it's like you never had wings

Another great thumbnail, thank you again it looks amazing!

This is like John Kramer saying he never kills anyone.
