Man, I absolutely love South Park. Ever since it started in August of 1997, I’ve been hooked. Ten years of four little boys with potty mouthes entertaining me. It is straight up toilet humor and combined with political, religious satire and no one or thing is safe from them.

Call me childish if you want for liking it. To me though, there is no other show that can be so tasteless but find such a perfect balance with the tastelessness and actual comedy. You can’t watch this show with a proverbial stick up your butt.

You gotta lighten up and not take it seriously. If they make fun of you or something you believe in, just laugh at it with everyone else and don’t get upset over nothing.

It’s also awesome how up-to-date their content can be. They pump out episodes in less than a week, usually working on it right before the night it shows so it is possible for them to keep it fresh to current events.

My favorite character has go to be Kenny. He’s got one extremely foul mouth underneath that orange parka. If you ever read some of the ‘translations’ of what he says, it is enough to make most people blush. Even the original opening credits where it is Kenny’s turn to sing he had some interesting things to say.

In a way Kenny reminds me of Tom from Tom & Jerry or Wile E Coyote due to the amount of physical abuse they take time and time again; however Wile and Tom never got killed… but I digress.

Ten years later, eleven seasons later, and the show is still satisfying for me. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are geniuses of comedy. I hope this show continues for a good few more years. I don’t want it to end as long as they keep doing what they do.
