Adult Animation
South Park, in my opinion, is one of the best adult animations available today. I really enjoy the cutout-like appearance of show, and the content is incredibly enjoyable. One of the overlooked pieces of South Park is how relevant the show stays to current events. I watched a little show on the making of South Park and according to that show South Park is one of the only, if not the only, shows that makes a new episode each week. Most television shows are made a long time before they are aired and just played at the correct time in the series. By making a new show each week South Park keeps itself incredibly relevant and it allows for so much more humor. I cannot imagine the amount of work that goes into each episode, let alone cramming that all into 1 week.

I think South Park is an incredibly interesting and hilarious show because it has pop culture relevance and commentary on politics. It is rather crude and obnoxious but the writers have relevant points made within the episode. The episode on britney spears was an extremely well done satire of how the media ruthlessly attacks her and concerns themselves with parts of her life that they shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the episode a week thing, that is amazing. I'm not a huge South Park fan because I find it so crude and obnoxious but when I do watch I am always impressed by how relevant the show is. I think it gets written as being dumb TV a lot but the writers of the show are extremely intelligent.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that it's a fantastic show, I wish they had more time to write. So many of the jokes just fall into low-brow potty humor territory because its easy to just default back to that kind of comedy. If they had more time to write, the shows might come out better.
