Some are chocolate and salty.
Others are mammoth and bouncy.
Theyve evenlost a pairalong the way.
Through it all, they constantly redefine what to means to push the boundaries of their medium.
Its a real glimpse into a group ofactualcrazies, which is somethingSouth Parkwould get increasingly good at.
Sacre bleu, indeed!
Because Cartman made Scott Tenorman eat his parents.
Cartman can never catch the rabbit.
He then preciously slaved over cooking their bodies into scrumptious chili and handed it to the unsuspecting bully.
This would be like Bart Simpson killing a kid in class.
Before that moment, he was comic relief.
After that scene, Cartmans wickedness passed into the realm of legend.
Oh the tears of unfathomable sadness, yummy.
Yummy, you guys!
Its Stans turn to beat up the new kid and winds up getting invited to dinner.
The Marsh family gets infected and Stan turns pre-emptively paranoid.
The kid comes off pretty good.
Hes got great life, a great family, and helps people because thats what the Mormons do.
It goes completely against the expectations of the show.
Its more than just a softball, its a love letter.
Cartman speaks for everyone when he declares that the kid is cool.
These episodes are the glue that holds their balls together.
That, plus its gnarly homage to the very70s intro inBuck Rogers of the 25th CenturyTV series.
Cartman of course simply froze himself while in search of a coveted Nintendo Wii.
And in his defense, who wasnt desperate to own one of those suckers in 2006?
But instead he winds up in a world where science, reason, and atheism has displaced all religion.
Oh dont worry, theyre all atheists; theyre just not theright kind of atheist.
Oh my science, indeed.
What I wasnt expecting from The China Probem was a graphic depiction of rape… three different times.
People expect to be shocked bySouth Park, but for many, The China Probem scenes went too far.
The scenes are way over-the-top, uncomfortable, and gratuitous, even if its just a cartoon.
Ballsy isnt always synonymous with tasteful or good.

Where My Country Gone?
is already one ofSouth Parks ten ballsiest episodes.
WhatSouth Parkis doing in its current season is much trickier, however: satirizing all of us.
And according to them were all complicit.
Wheres My Country Gone?
seems designed to make us as uncomfortable as possible.
Then in Wheres My Country Gone?
All she seems capable of is running over innocent pedestrians in her convertible.
Satirizing Donald Trump is certainly the punch-up mentality that most people can get behind.
Context matters in determining what is ballsy.
So the act of depicting a transgender celebrity as a weirdo is pretty ballsy.
And fucking a guy to death is pretty ballsy inanyenvironment.
