    Grin South Park.

    I'm impressed by the fact that this show is still going strong after more than 10 seasons. It's still amazingly funny, and everytime I see an episode I simply laugh my ass off. It's great.

    So, what do you think of the show?

    It's funny, but not as outlandishly funny as it used to be. Either their ideas just aren't as funny or after 12 years of it on the air, we've developed a resistance to south park humor.

    I didn't think that the first couple of recent episodes were that funny. They still do their social commentary, but it's hit or miss as to whether it's funny or not.

    I agree with Mullet.

    It's really hit or miss sometimes when it comes to the episodes. The last 2 have been funny, but the episodes before that this season were lacking. Overall I still love the show though

    I still think it's funny. But then again I hardly ever watch it on a regular basis and never have :P

    South Park is still great. The start of this season was pretty weak, but the last few episodes have been solid. Just because it may not be as awesome as some of the middle seasons doesn't mean it isn't still better than almost everything else on TV.

    It was more funny when they werent trying to parody everything that happens in real life. I know they always did this but now its as though they cant come up with anything original.

    The show needs more Mecha-Streisand and Starvin Marvin.

    A lot of the time, they're really heavy-handed with the social commentary. Sometimes it's funny and I enjoy it. Like the episode with the Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich, but other times it's just like, eehhh. I get it, no need to shove it down my throat. The political episodes aren't really my favorites. Of the recent episodes that I really liked is last Season's finale, The List. The ending just made me laugh and laugh.

    Initially I never saw the attraction of South Park but having actually given the show a proper chance, I was very impressed and became a fan. Some of the jokes are simply brilliant and I enjoy the social commentary on the whole. I've not seen much of it lately; I think the most recent episode I've seen is the one about the Snuke. Nonetheless it's a programme I enjoy and one I watch when I have the time to do so.

    One thing I've been getting tired of with recent seasons is the amount of excessive gore in violent scenes. It doesn't add anything and seems like a lame attempt at shock value.

    But the entire premise of the show is shock value. When the show was new, kids in high school were like 'did you see this new show south park? They swear like crazy in it!'

    South Park was always violent, its the fact that it had a cheaper look back when it started that made it look less graphic.

    I thought last nights was the funniest so far this new season. Cause you know it's true that we'd be running around yelling, "There's no internet to tell us why there's no internet!"

    I don't think the new season has been very good compared to most seasons, but it's generally still pretty entertaining. I agree that South Park is at its best when it's completely ridiculous and not attempting to be so heavy-handed with the social commentary. Some of those episodes are brilliant, but sometimes I just want a giant taco who s multicolored ice cream. That's just smurfing brilliant.
