They’ve taken shots at Christians, Jews, Mormons, and even Atheists and Agnostics. Trey Parker and Matt Stone (who voice almost every character) are famous for their willingness to assault every belief and every religion. This is the least crazy image associated with it. Kelly are all secretly gay (primarily the first two, R.Kelly is mostly just insane), but those are secondary. Well, there was also a series of jokes implying that Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and R. “This is what Scientologists actually believe.” With six words, South Park unleashed a small hell. Oh, and they have received some acclaim on stage and screen. (Update of an update) Okay, so, they actually started serializing again, loosely. Sadly, they have now abandoned serialization because the election ruined their last arc, and caused them to lose faith in America. (Update) A few seasons ago, the show actually started doing story arcs, and, until the 2016 election, they were among the best works of satire of neoliberalism and neoconservativism that I have ever seen.
South Park involves 4 boys with foul mouths whose curiosity and bad luck constantly puts them in the middle of inane circumstances for 22 minutes. The truth is that Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, are both brilliant and horribly immature, which is why they choose their medium carefully, and why it works perfectly. South Park is a show that oscillates between being overly preachy and moralistic, and being incredibly immature and off-color.
