South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and developed by Brian Graden for Comedy Central.
Criticism
Donald Jeffries pointed out how the show, while pretending to be "political incorrect", always stays with the official narratives:
Although producing some undeniably classic work, Parker and Stone were always careful to stay within politically safe boundaries. Before Donald Trump seduced him, Satan was portrayed in a sexual relationship with Saddam Hussein. There was no spoof of "weapons of mass destruction," and no damnation of Zionism. Zero criticism of Israel. South Park had a show that blasted 9/11 "Truthers" as well, and in the commentary for the DVD collection of their shows, they admitted that they thought anyone who believed 9/11 was an inside job was "retarded." Bill Clinton was never lampooned on the show. Neither was Obama. No "Big Mike" jokes here, thank you. Dubya Bush was, but it was almost done fondly. Only Trump got this kind of special attention. Kanye West was raked over the coals in an earlier show; is it possible that his disdain for Jews dominating the industry was already known to Parker and Stone? No other Black figure was ever treated quite this disrespectfully on the cartoon...I looked forward to their take on the COVID psyop. All that irrational hysteria and nonsensical "science" should have added up to comedy gold. But no, instead, they opted to make fun of anti-vaxxers, and seemed to take the 'pandemic' all too seriously...[1]
Finances
In July 2025 Parker and Stone reached a five-year deal with Paramount for the global streaming rights to their animated series. Valued at $300 million per year, the agreement totals $1.5 billion.[2]
