I just watched season 1 of South Park on Netflix and I loved every second of it. Sure the animation is dated and it's not as expressive and detailed as new South Park but I'd rather watch it over the crap the show is today.
It genuinely didn't feel like the episodes were written within a week with how well plot points tie together.
Now it's just a shameful recap of that week's news with Matt and Trey thinking they're smart and edgy with "muh celebrity impersonations".
At least the show isn't suffering as badly as Simpsons or Family Guy.
It is interesting to see how, in a sense, the show was richer back then in some ways. Wendy (and a lot of the female characters before Mary Kay Bergman killed herself) had more screentime and could be just as awful as the boys, ancillary characters like Pip, Jimbo & Ned had larger parts, some characters like Mephesto's son Terrence were set up to be rivals and the show seemed to be parodying The X-Files with all the appearances by the visitors and arguably following a Monster of the Week format.
I can't say I don't prefer the direction the show took and even now it isn't as awful as Zombie Simpsons, but we really did lose a lot from the early years.

Maybe he's not a burger. Spiders have season one and the last few seasons.

Oh that makes sense
Camden Perry

I came in this thread to just play spot kylefag and I won first post holy shit hows your weekend kylefag, my little cousins birthday was today and he just turned 11 so thats around Kyles age
I really prefer post-season 4 South Park. The three first seasons were playing very heavy on the "let's be edgy and hardcore" aspect rather than actual themes.

my weekend is pretty good, thanks for asking user i've spent most of it sitting around cuddling my kyle plushie

Ah yes the Kyle Plush! I know I off handed mentioned my homemade Kenny plush in a earlier thread, but I don't think I ever posted a photo so take this I really do want to get some greens to make a Kyle I know now that if I just make the eyes way bigger I can make a ok looking south park plush
aww, that's a very cute kenny i wish you luck in your plush-making! i'm sure you can make a nice kyle one!

It doesn't help that South Park was effectively atleast four different shows using the same characters and artstyle during its run. The first era was really just grossout/edgy humor of the 90s
Daniel Baker
>South Park was effectively atleast four different shows using the same characters Pretty much...have people come up with names for each "version" of south park?
Juan Bell
where do the different 'versions' start and end though? that's important to know
Gavin Morris
I think the latest one begins shortly before the 2016 elections? I think when the "PC" principal shows up...It's hard to know, I think it's not really that much of a sudden shift and more of a slow change.

Anyone else tired of this show? Not just the new episodes, but the show in general. It seems as though year long breaks aren't even enough for me at this point. I admit that I do still watch the new episodes when they air, but I never feel the need to come back to them. I'm never in the mood to watch reruns of this anymore.
Actually that zip-lining episode is pretty good. I could watch it 100 times and not get sick of it.

I wasn't liking the later seasons much in comparison but when they started with the Tigridy Farms shit, I dropped the new episodes completely. Also, they've really been ruining Butters' personality.

The animation isn't dated, it was a joke then and it's still the same joke now. That's where the soul comes from.

Hey kylefag, do you find kyle's singing voice cute? I'm sure you do. Recently I've been basically obsessed with kyle's singing on What would brian boitano do from the movie. What do you think?
Jason Gutierrez
That's so weird, so much of what defines South Park for me comes from the first three seasons. When's the last time they had an idea as creative as Mr. Hankey, the Underpants gnomes or the Loch Ness Monstah?
Juan Jones
i think his singing voice is absolutely adorable, and i can't help but smile whenever he sings his singing was great in the movie, although i do wish he'd gotten a solo part in 'mountain town.'

Older South Park designs were a lot more charming. I hate seeing these gross detailed hair creatures next to the simpler, superior, classic characters.
