South Park Phenomenon
Like most people watching tv, they think about what is it about, how funny it is, and is it a good show to watch. But for me the good show to watch and always have a good laugh to it is south park. South Park was there during my childhood years, and I’d learned from it even the foul language they used. But the most intimate story throughout the series were the Characters and how they portrayed over the years. Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan, there are many more but these 4 are the most important ones.

    Mmm..I wouldn’t say they’re all special. Sometimes you’re just there to pay the bills, as we all must. Hell On Wheels was an extraordinary professional and personal experience. I learned so much working on that show with a cast and crew whose talent can’t be overstated. I made friends whom I love deeply and will be in my life forever. Doesn’t get more special than that.…

    In a world where something that is slightly offensive to anyone is censored and is often times discredited it is truly a wonder how Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s animated creation, South Park, manages to stay on air to this day. Comparing it to other shows in its category including the likes of Family Guy, The Simpsons, or Futurama, which is also on the same network as South Park, South Park is much more edgy, much more willing to use foul language, and makes all these other series seem incredibly tame and politically correct to say the least. But while they make a much more raw show, it house some incredibly smart material. Their use of social, cultural, and political satire are like none other and no one is safe from Matt and Trey’s sharp criticism. It is truly a sight to behold each week as Matt and Trey rip to shreds topics that are generally taboo to talk about in usual conversation such as religion, politics, and otherwise serious social issues, while making a reflective statement about the issue as well.…

During this time, the American public questioned its leaders for the reason entering this war. Around the same time, Dave Chappelle had his own show on the Comedy Central Network, the Chappelle Show. On this show, Chappelle would express his views on many issues through satire and humorous exaggerations. David Galvez, the writer of Intertextuality and Understanding Chappelle’s Comedy states, “In this seven-minute sketch, Chappelle plays the part of President George W. Bush portrayed as a negatively stereotypical representation of an African-American.”…

    Sitcoms Research Paper

    Comedy programs such as sitcoms which focus on issues and current events in our society have become seemingly popular in today’s day and age. This maybe due to the four elements found in the programs. The four elements being: plots, characters, settings and the techniques in which humour is applied. These elements ease the program into achieving two possible purposes; firstly, to entertain its viewers; and secondly, to provide moral guidance to its viewers. A prime example of a sitcom that clearly displays these four elements is the American produced sitcom: Friends. Friends, roughly summed up, is a twenty-two minute sitcom which focuses on the day-to-day lives of a group of six friends.…

    Ever since 1997, South Park has revolutionized the cable TV scene as a profane and obscene program that isn’t afraid to mock religious, political, and cultural topics and not get away with at least offending somebody.

The creative genius behind these cultural and controversial statements has exalted the series to iconic status in our entertainment industry for its satirical voice in each episode.

    The Simpsons is the archetype for cartoon serial satire. It started it all. Which is evident in the Southpark episode the 'Simpsons did it' Plus Simpsons just had its 20th season which is nuts. I find lately the Simpsons has transitioned more towards a Family Guy model, having more random pop ins then full on episodes like their earlier seasons. ( Alec Niolan, Little Known Facts About “the Simpsons”) With 20 years of material they have covered almost everything already so staying fresh is hard. Family Guy has a liberal/progressive agenda and the creator can't keep his work separate from his politics.…
