I still find it funny as hell. The best episodes are the ones where they basically do the entire half hour (or 22 min if you have a DVR) to tell ONE JOKE! You find yourself asking about halfway through, "Where are they going with this?" and then you laugh your ass off when they get there. There was a two parter on the catholic church that was awesome in that way a couple years back.

The other thing that is AMAZING is how timely they can be. I remember when Saddam Hussein was captured I was watching it on TV on a Sunday morning. Wednesday night: the episode revolved around pulling Saddam out of a spider hole. No idea how they do that. Same thing in lots of other situations but I remember they had Janet Reno dressed as an Easter Bunny pulling Elian Gonzalez out of a closet in the same lead time. Unreal.

It will be interesting in say 50 years for folks to look back at South Park and hear what they have to say. I know the timelyness will be lost.
