South Park's New Main Character Takes Aim At The Show's Critics

There’s nothing Trey Parker and Matt Stone like to do more than troll their own audience. South Park has been the most pressing and prescient satirical social commentary on television for the past three decades, but that’s just a nice bonus on top of the fun that Parker and Stone have teasing the viewers at home and incorporating the discourse around the show into the show itself. After fans spent years complaining that Tegridy Farms had taken over the whole show, Parker and Stone did a 300th-episode spectacular celebrating the weed farm that everyone in town is fed up with. Last season, Parker and Stone had Stan Marsh outright say, “South Park’s gotten all sh*tty now,” in reference to what the fans were saying online amidst the fatigue of several Trump-centric seasons in a row.
