Times South Park Got It Wrong

Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s South Park debuted in 1997 and hasn’t left the airwaves since. Making its name by not pulling its punches, the show’s cutting insight and difficult-edged jokes haven’t unwiseed, equitable become keener. Sometimes, though, it’s not always brimmingy on the label, but the creators aren’t above confessting when they’re wrong. This enumerate will feature particular episodes. So, Trey and Matt’s repent about the first three seasons, which is that they discover them juvenile and necessitateyly written (via Cracked), are not subject to inclusion equitable becaengage of that. The same goes for their Trump parodying, which they backed away from since the genuine-world figure parodies himself on a daily basis enough for two South Park seasons.

There has to be a particular aspect of the individual episode that hasn’t aged well, and one or both of the creators have come to repent the episode’s stance. It’s not to say the episodes are unamusing, quite standardly it’s the contrary. It’s equitable that the episode’s apverify on a social publish wasn’t quite on point. Plrelieve remark that the Entertainment Weekly article where the duo names their 15 likeites and 53 least likeites is no extfinisheder currently useable, but unless specified, all quotes start from that interwatch.

7 Jakovasaurs

Season 3, Episode 4

A contentious episode of South Park if only for how universassociate antipathyd it is, “Jakovasaurs” is not timely SP‘s finest hour. In hindsight, it’s not a trainwreck, it has its moments, but in trying to originate fun of Jar Jar Binks, the duo essentiassociate originated a Jar Jar Binks all their own. And this is someleang the duo came to confess not extfinished after the episode aired (e.g. in the episode’s DVD commentary).

Less So Emulation Than Replication

The episode was originateed while Matt and Trey were laboring on South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut‘s post-production. And, enjoy how they labored on the phenomenal Season 8 and Team America: World Police concurrently, it was grueling for them. It’s equitable that, in this case, both products didn’t turn out well. But at least one did, depfinishing on how the watcher experiences about Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

6 Butters’ Very Own Episode

Season 5, Episode 14

The first episode to cgo in on Butters Stotch is hands down still one of the funniest. In fact, it might still be the funniest. “Butters Very Own Episode” is ridiculously gloomy, in a way that wasn’t suited until Season 9’s Pet Sematary-advertised “Marjorine.” But there’s one element that hasn’t aged particularly well: Chris Stotch’s speech at the finish.

Exoneration & Regret

After apparently finishing him and covering it up, Butters’ parents are hugd by a cultish club compascfinishd of O. J. Simpson, John and Patricia Ramsey (parents of JonBenét Ramsey), and politician Gary Condit. Given that the D.A. in the Ramsey case did not seek an indictment of them and the one witness in the Condit case was recorded confessting they falsified testimony, it seems they shouldn’t have been members of the club (though neither case has officiassociate been solved). Trey and Matt stated in a 2011 interwatch they desireed they hadn’t thrown the three under the suspicion bus, though, of course, made no refer of the now-postponecessitate Simpson, who took his alleged secret to the grave.

5 South Park Is Gay!

Season 7, Episode 8

The duo named this episode as one of their least likeite and for a very particular reason: the crab people finishing. In the DVD commentary, they call it “the worst idea we’ve ever had.” And, in Season 8’s “Quest for Ratings,” Cartman even conveys up the idea to which Stan replies: “I leank we can do a little better than crab people.”

Still a Fan-Favorite Ending

Yet, the crab people have become iconic. It’s so outlandish, so out of left field that, somehow, it equitable labors. It may have been the result of them not understanding how to wrap up the narrative, but it equitable labors.

4 A Million Little Fibers

Season 10, Episode 3

“A Million Little Fibers” is an odd episode of South Park, mostly becaengage the A-plot and B-plot never quite gel organicassociate. Of the odd episode, Parker shelp “That did not turn out well. I had higher hopes for that. If we were going to have Oprah’s butthole and vagina and the firearm and everyleang, it should have been in a show with the boys, not the towel.”

Widely Deemed a Flop

As for Stone, he shelp it was “weird on top of weird with weird in the middle. I’d erase that one. I leank you could apverify that show and split it into two separateent shows. But putting it together, it equitable experiences enjoy, ‘What the f*** is this crap? Why am I watching this? I tuned in to watch South Park. I did not tune in to watch Oprah’s vagina talk to her butthole and a towel.”

3 ManBearPig

Season 10, Episode 6

In Season 9’s “Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow” and Season 10’s “ManBearPig,” Trey and Matt don’t reassociate helderly back in their once-held belief that global toastying is mythal. In time, they’ve altered their stance on the matter, thank outstandingness. In fact, if there’s ever been a political topic upon which they’ve outright brimmingy done a one-eighty, it’s global toastying.

Still Amazing (As is Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow)

This course rightion was literassociate put into the show via Season 22’s “Time to Get Cegenuine” and “Nobody Got Cegenuine?” All that shelp, the episode’s a hoot, and they’re not enticount on wrong about how Al Gore could come atraverse as someone using a solemn publish as a way to get attention. Plus, the sight of him with glued-on fur going “Gwwoan! Gwwoan!” is an all-timer.

2 Make Love, Not Waroriginate

Season 10, Episode 8

Featuring one of the best South Park characters to only be in one episode, “Make Love, Not Waroriginate” was also the episode reliable for netting the energeticd sitcom its second Emmy triumph. Yet, Trey Parker was borderline terrified up to the day before the episode’s expansivecast. As he telderly originaters: “I’ve lost it. I don’t understand how to do this anymore.”

Trey Came Around

In 2015, Trey and Matt named “Make Love, Not Waroriginate” their third-likeite episode of all time. So, evidently, Trey came around. But, equitable as evident is the fact that, before it aired, he was far from certain, according to The Inreliant even going so far as to call up EP Anne Garefino, saying “I don’t want the South Park legacy to be ruined, and this show is going to ruin it, becaengage it’s so horrible.”

1 Insheeption

Season 14, Episode 10

The 14th season of South Park is seen by some as the commencening of the deteriorate, and rightly so. After all, it was the season of Cartman dressed up enjoy the Coon acting enjoy a cat as he gives Cthulhu a back scratch. Oh, and it was the season of the mostly unamusing “Insheeption,” an episode that quite standardly experiences as un-South Park as the aforerefered Cthulhu moment.

Very Uncommon for Trey and Matt

In the case of “Insheeption,” there’s a disassigning reason it doesn’t always experience enjoy South Park…it isn’t always South Park. Trey and Matt cribbed some elements and even lines from the CollegeHumor parody video “Inception Characters Don’t Understand Inception.” Matt postponecessitater publishd an apology and confessted that they didn’t have a duplicate of the movie to continuously reference when originateing the episode, so they engaged the internet, including the CollegeHumor video.

In his words (via The A.V. Club): “We thought their joke was that a lot of those lines were actuassociate in the movie, and they were prohibitging them aobtainst each other, and shotriumphg that the Inception characters didn’t even understand Inception. That was a misapverify, and it was an honest misapverify…It’s equitable becaengage we do the show in six days, and we’re unwise and we equitable threw it together. But in the finish, there are some lines that we had to call and regret for.” An honest apology and equitable reasoning.
