[Hong Kong Expat]

I would think because they are the best comedy team in the last 30 years. A combo of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby and Andy Kaufman - they play along the boundaries of the audience expectations and emotions.

They do social and political satire, push the boundaries of taste, but they also do nice "Traditional" and character comedies. You give a d@mn about Kenny, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and everybody else.

I like that the most unlikeable character on the show, Cartman, is the one everyone likes the best. My favorite part of the Awesemo episode is when Butter's parents ask Cartman's mom if he can go to LA and she replies, "Oh I don't know. He is still supposed to be grounded for trying to exterminate the Jews two weeks ago."

Good summation :~D

Maybe the others, but about the 74th time they killed Kenny, I found the uncontrollable weeping had damped out for me.
