South Park is an animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, highlighting relevant social topics that no other show dares to talk about. South Park airs weekly on Comedy Central, and some of its episodes are too sensitive to digest for anyone.
Here are some South Park storylines that go overboard with their witty, humorous themes.
Bloody Mary
This episode created rage and unrest in the Catholic community where the Virgin Mary statue starts to bleed. Well, it’s all in history. The townspeople started to believe that the blood has some magical healing powers and the people went into a frenzy over this phenomenon(including the Pope’s visit to the statue).
This episode’s highlight was the absurd culture and the blind faith healing, which resulted in the episode getting banned in several countries and canceled from rerun rotation.
Fishsticks
Defining Kanye is an impossible task. But South Park did it anyway! In the episode, When Jimmy writes a joke about “gay fish,” the joke itself becomes a national sensation, and the self-proclaimed Kanye ends up as the only person in the world who doesn’t understand the joke.
Dead Kids
The 288th episode of South Park is one of the most controversial episodes to ever air on national television. Dead Kids portrayed the alarming rate of school shootings in the US while maintaining the same satirical approach to problems: the USP of South Park.
While shows like Family Guy, Rick and Morty, and American Dad! Portrayed bullying, mental health, and social injustice, South Park went too far with this episode in the 23-year running franchise.
With Apologies to Jesse Jackson
In the episode, Randy takes on the Wheel of Fortune, and to win, he must solve a puzzle of “People Who Annoy You,” and the letters read as “N_GGERS.” Randy struggles to answer it on live television, but for the bonus price of $30,000, Randy yells “niggers!” and offends his friends, family, and African-American members of the audience.
The Passion Of The Jew
The Passion Of The Jew might be one of the funniest yet controversial episodes that ever aired on comedy central. In the episode, Kyle gets inspired by Mel Gibson’s 2004 film, The Passion of the Christ. He enters into rage mode and turns against his own religion.
Meanwhile, Cartman organizes a meeting in his backyard to celebrate The Passion of the Christ and how it helped him to rediscover Christianity.
Good Times With Weapons
Anime and cartoons are two different things. Ask any anime fan what he/she thinks about anime and cartoons, and they will answer – the cartoon is for kids and anime is for the adults. But South Park’s Good Times With Weapons combined the two different animation styles while maintaining the same level of humor and wit.
Scott Tenorman Must Die
Rick and Morty might have the best plot for the episode Rick Potion No. 9, but it doesn’t come close to the vicious South Park episode – Scott Tenorman Must Die.
In the episode, Eric Cartman was portrayed as the psychopath who plans on taking revenge on Scott by making him eat his own parents. This episode is a spine-tingling tail roller-coaster that portrayed a wild and inhumane side of Eric Cartman.
The Woodland Critters Christmas
The Woodland Critters Christmas starts off as an innocent episode where Stan Marsh meets animals dressed up neatly for Christmas. Stan also helps them with the decorations and planning. Still, later, he finds out the Woodland Critters are Satanists.
The episode contains elements that are too vile for anyone, especially the part where critters sacrifice their own families and play in blood.
