I hate South Park
I've never found it funny, and the fact that the guys who make it are Republicans make it all the more odious.
Also, religion.

actually they're more libertarians than republicans
it shows in their humour as they'll rip the piss out of all sides of an argument, even the side that they agree with

but yeah, religion

I don't understand all this american waffle.

You could argue that the Major government was libertarian
libertarians are all about less state, fewer taxes, more personal freedom

it's just that Major didn't do a particularly good job of it

You're wrong. Not about the religion.

Wrong.
South Park is the most intelligent TV show of our era.

Indeed.
Their social commentary is incisive, even-handed and usually right on the money. It's also frequently funny in a clever way - something that many other shows lack, relying entirely on base humour and general inanity instead. Simple comparison: the South Park episode "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes", and the Family Guy knock-off "Hell Comes To Quahog". South Park did it first, and did it considerably better.

They made brilliant, inspired episodes out of controversial events like the Terry Schiavo debate ("Best Friends Forever") and the 2000 Presidential elections ("Trapper Keeper"). South Park is a tool-kit of characters and settings which Parker and Stone use very effectively to satirise modern society.

It may have started out crudely drawn and relatively simply scripted, but over the years, it's morphed into one of the most cleverly-written shows on television.
