They've moved away from fart humour to do parodies, and I think the new South Park is hilarious!

Agreed, I like the fact that it is now more of a parody.

I still laugh out loud at South Park, I can't say the same for Family Guy or The Simpsons any more.

I still think it's a pretty good series. Is it as innovative as it was before? Well, they did make the award-winning Imagination Land episodes. I have a feeling they can keep at it, but it isn't surprising when some people view the shine of the show as worn off. To me, so far they are still funny while trying to send a message. As long as they can keep that up, I'm still going to watch.

I think that at first South Park was meant to be a satire. Then younger kids started to watch it so they would seem older, and now the show is catering to them. It's basically trying to be as offensive as possible instead of trying to make real jokes.

It's always been good, touching on issues and ripping the shit out of others. Love it!

Look son. There just like us now

Fantastic episode.

They still are brilliant shows with a good meaning but not as important as they once were. The credit crunch episode was good and the Wrestling one perfectly covered what wrestling really is like.

I don't about south park losing it, I thought that Butter's bottom bitch was a pretty entertaining episode and that one had nothing to do with current culture (unless I have unknowingly become a shut-in).

The first half of this past season, with the exception of the Pirate episode, was so bad it confused me.

Then the more recent episodes came out, not one of which I didn't enjoy to the fullest extent. They were bad for a time, but they're back and just as funny as they were before. And the one with Ike seeing dead celebrities was the best one in a couple years!

Hell no I love Cow and Chicken, first thing I usually think when people say chicken.

I think South Park has got better with the later series, watching the old ones again and they don't have as many sub plots that tie in with the main plot, I think it's great.

Well its doing well for what its doing.

I mean in one of the old episodes it becomes extermely raceist its about these black rich guys who move in and everyone burns lower case "t,s" to kick them out they also kick them out of buses and bars sound familler?

and at the end they dress up as "ghosts" to chase them out and mr.garrison say half of a dangerus raceist word if he said all of it south park would have been shut down.

I hope you realize how stupid this sounds, they were not being racist at all, I suggest you watch the episode again and actually pay attention to whats going on...

God damn, I typed out a long ass post and then accidentally hit back on my mouse and lost it.

The short of it was:

South park is still funny.
The humour has changed its focal point.
Viewers who were with it from the start probably recognise this shift, and as one myself I don't like it.
The shift is towards current humour as opposed to humour that can be registered by all people at any point due to comment on shared values.
I miss Chef, despite Isaac Hayes' religious views.
South Park has lost a lot of its essence, but in other ways it has evolved to meet a new market.
I cant be bothered trying to remember what else I wrote. Stupid internets.

South Park never had "it". Its how many seasons of inbred fart humor now? Not that its all actually humor on farts, but all of it is about that level. Sure if you can't count to four without using your fingers, it'd probably be hilarious, but for jokes with a point, maybe some real setup...nah. Just feels and sounds to me like a show written by a bunch of people who stopped aging mentally around 13 or 14. Reminds me of a trip to the pool in middle school when a kid got kicked out and thought the phrase "suck my cock" was a good thing to shout out while he was seeing himself off. 'Course he started laughing...I just wanted to throw rocks at him, hoping one might hit him and dislodge the stupid from him, or damage something to the point where he couldn't breed.

Looking back, I bet that kid loves South Park too.

Nope, it's as good as it's ever been.

Which is to say, awesome.

I know we aren't supposed to say "this" but... uh... This.

South Park is still awesome, and will always be awesome.
And I think Whale Wars was "one of the best videoes of all time"!

Its funny now because its satire. It was funny back then because it was gross-out. Win win to me buddy.

It's had a few missteps in the last two seasons but when they hit it right it is wicked funny. So no they still got "it".

I just got into south park like a month ago and since then i have seen all the episodes. I found that south park changes a little by trying to be less and less PC as time went on. Which is always a good laugh. BTW SP is not racist or insulting because then insult everyone

Its been deteriorating for some two seasons now, they just ran outta good stuff to make fun of and lately resort to just portraying celebrities and saying curse words to their "face" which is too childish. They used to make me laugh like crazy, nowadays i just smile a bit... :-(

It's still very good - I watch episodes from all different series non-chronologically all the time, and there's no split in quality between the newer and older ones.

No that just means they're consistent. The fact that its hugely satirical sort of excuses everything though. Similar to Little Britain.

every once in a while, they lose 'it'
but they always find 'it' again.

This season has been a very big miss in my opinion, soon like Family Guy I'll just stop watching it all together.
