Cartman would kick Professor Weinstock's butt.

Some things resist overintellectualization, thank God, and South Park is one of them. You can, of course, make an attempt to deconstruct the thing after the usual fashion -

In the works of Trey Parker, a predominant concept is the concept of subsemantic language. Thus, Sartre’s model of social realism states that narrativity has objective value, but only if neocultural rationalism is valid.

However, Lacan uses the term ’social realism’ to denote not theory, as Baudrillard would have it, but pretheory. Lacan’s essay on neocultural rationalism implies that class, surprisingly, has significance.

...and so it goes. And you just know that stuff is going to turn up on Terence And Philip Do PostModernism and that the punchline will be another juicy fart.

[For one thing, ‘South Park’ has been on for nine seasons. It has established a certain staying power. What was more interesting to me was that the show was doing more political commentary than any other show on television. It’s really engaging with contemporary, political issues]



South Park is just about the only show which lampoons the Left, and as such it has the field pretty much to itself.

There are many shows which denigrate the Right, but they compete with each other in a crowded field, and they are also usually lacking in humor, making them unwatchable.

Another show which lampoons the Left (although sometimes the Right as well) is "Bullshit" by Penn and Teller. Great show.

Hehe, my dad got a masters degree at CMU. I am sure it wasn't in pop culture!

South Park is the funniest show ever put on television.
