At some point there was a switch. They started to mock pop culture for the sake of mocking it and having fun, now they do it because it is what is expected of them
Bloody Mary was the first mark of the show turning bad, even though there were still good episodes after it. It was a shitty episode that heralded where the show was going.
way back when they started catering to "modern" young kids (i.e young millenials) they started bring up the goth kids more and getting into like relationship drama with the kids, they made kenny a superpowered mutant and shit. you could tell they hired writers to appeal to a new audience and it never came back. it was a season or two before coon and friends i think.
Fuck Isaac Hayes. >Making fun of Christianity? All good. >Making fun of Islam? All good. >Making fun of israelites? All good >Making fun or blacks and racism? All good? >Making fun of Scientology? Screw you guys I'm going home!
that also coincides with Cartoon Wars(it aired 2 weeks after Return of Chef)
when a show has to make an entire 2 part episode about shitting on its biggest competitor you know they've lost their edge
Feels like after the peruvian flute music season. When they kept doing 3 parters or 2 parters. The stupid fucking superhero ones too. Season 11 I think was roughly the end, maybe 10.
she shit on colorado or something the week before so they shit out a dumb episode making fun of her that is now crazy famous. she did something similar by trying to take a photo down from a website. google streisand effect.
The NASCAR episode was unwatchable. All the episodes that season sucked. I have never once watched more than 20 minutes of any auto race in my life so maybe if I gave a shit one way or another it might have cared about the episode.
I never saw it when it was hip and new. I saw it when it became a social message show and thought it was kind of clever. stopped watching around the pandemic and when randy became a big centerpiece of the show. dont care to go back.
no fucking way is that worse than any of the recent modern seasons. I can remember episodes from that season. I can remember the episode in your image just by looking at it.
I can't remember a single thing from the last season or any of the last 5-6 seasons of south park, honestly, not a single damn thing except weed farms.
>if i shit in the water the blood will attract beavers
kino episode. you wanna hear the most pathetic thing in the world? i remember being here and watching that thread "with" Cinemaphile.
the cocaine santa episode was great. pot just isn't funny though. its never a funny plot device and "dude we're so high" is never a funny story. towelie was funny because he fucking sucked but randy sucking is just sad because he's not a towel hes just a shitty parent.
For me its the episode where Hillary Clinton's pussy and asshole are talking to each other in scottish accents. It was painful to sit through. Not a snigle funny joke, just annoying and cringy af.
it had been declining for a while but the imagination land season was where it finally shit the bed
Terrible opinions, guys.
you're right; it was way earlier than that
nope
Even the last season had some good episodes. Usually when shows go to shit there aren't any good episodes left.

In my memory, whatever season Go God, Go was in was the last really good season of the show.
*ruins your show*
its the same voice

when chef left the show it lost its soul

nah he was fucked up at the time and scientologist complained for him.
even better.
>Muh religion tells me I cant take medicine.

Whenever they decided to make Randy into a focal point.
randy was based before but the tegridy farms shit is awful
S8 was the last season with good episodes
that sounds about right
OH I 'MEMBER THOSE!!!!!!

Oh 'member when we had good threads on Cinemaphile?
I 'member
me too 'member
Does OP 'member? No, he doesn't 'member
The episode where stan sees everything as shit. Everything after that is shit.
There you go. This episode I view as the series finale, it's not worth revisiting any episodes after that.
the season where they spend an entire episode seething about Bono from U2
When they started using 3d animation
Holy shit!!! Did you guys hear Cartman call Kyle a stupid israelite!!! I can't believe South Park did that!!!
>Did you guys hear Cartman call Kyle a stupid israelite!!!
yeah, I did. it was fuckin sweet.
did matt stones mom make him listen to her a bunch or something? all the seethe in earlier seasons was odd
now that i think about it, i think theres a throwaway line by kyles mom where she pours praise on her for being a successfull israeli woman
she shit on colorado or something the week before so they shit out a dumb episode making fun of her that is now crazy famous. she did something similar by trying to take a photo down from a website. google streisand effect.
Lemiwinks and it's not even close
i cringe thinking about them giggling and high fiving each other in the writers room to this dog shit episode
Did they make an episode where they cuck out on the Kyle-becomes-a-dolphin episode, like they did with their climate change jokes?

>t. poor, stupid, and hopelessly addicted to vagisil.

I'm rewatching all the seasons of South Park and this is the worst season so far

tegridy was the nail in the coffin

oh god I forgot about that shit.
I liked the troll plotline of this season at least.
Shit? Like unbearably bad? Probably within the last 5-8 years
But it's been dropping in quality longer than that
