Sounds like Michael Moore/Christopher Guest-style "populist" humor--mocking regular people for laughs while feeling oh-so-superior to them.

Even the ultraliberal Pauline Kael called out Moore on this kind of thing. I love offensive humor, but South Park takes on bigm dangerous targets--setting up real, average people who've never harmed anyone and whose only sin is that they're unhip doesn't appeal to me in the least. Sorry if that makes me unhip, but I'd rather be respectful of people who've never hurt me just because I choose to live a life different from theirs.

It's really super-funny. I guess I really needed a laugh.
