Is it so unfashionable these days to want a tv show that doesn't involve an elimination round or a panel of judges?
South Park is one of the last bastions of actual storytelling on TV.
That said, I don't like it when South Park sucker-punches you with violence and gore as a gag. I get that they use violence to mess with your expectations or poke fun at hollywood conventions, but it sickens me rather than humours me.
I'm the same with Robot Chicken and Family Guy and you can bet I won't be seeing Michael Haneke's Funny Games anytime soon.
My favourite episodes are the ones where they don't resort to ribs bursting through skin or massive headwounds for laughs.
Butters is awesome!
