History Fridge / SouthPark

** Atheists exist in a world where God has come down to Earth and explained to Stan that he doesn't have a period and Jesus has a talk show.
*** {{Flat Earth Atheist}}s?

** Although it must also be borne in mind that Gerald supposedly agrees that the human centipad is the future, it is obvious that it is only Gerald playing under the same twisted logic before an audience that seems to be indifferent to what happens to his son to cleverly free it.

* In "Raisins", Stan tries to win Wendy back by playing Music/PeterGabriel outside her window a la ''Film/SayAnything''. However, instead of playing "In Your Eyes", Stan plays "Shock the Monkey" to Wendy and by extension [[OnTheRebound Token]]. While the humor comes from the [[InnocentlyInsensitive accidental racism and unromantic nature]] of the choice, "Monkey" is also about how jealousy can release one's basic instincts, such as Stan's last ditch effort to salvage his relationship with Wendy and his PassiveAggressiveKombat towards them by the end of the episode.

** What if Imaginary Jesus isn't actually based on the Jesus who once existed, but the Jesus people believe will second coming return? Now consider the fact that the scientists have been creating a portal that opens up a doorway into Imaginationland, [[FluffyCloudHeaven a world of wonder and joy gated off]] from [[{{Hell}} a world of intense evil]]. How they [[VideoGame/HalfLife1 opened that portal]] and [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt caused the nightmare world to flood into ours,]] and while I'm on a roll, how about the fact that Imaginationland's entrance song is '''[[HallelujahChorus ONE WORD REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH VARYING EMPHASIS!!]]''' Unbelievably well done! -Tropers/RockySamson
*** And I'll do you one more, after the whole thing is over and [[spoiler: Imaginationland is effectively gone, who recreates the entire world and everyone in it? [[{{God}} Butters...]]]] -Tropers/RockySamson
*** This is probably a coincidence, but in [[{{Film/Stargate}} the movie that they're parodying]], the name of the portal was originally mistranslated (in-universe) as a "Doorway to Heaven."

* The writers of the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' "Imaginationland" trilogy weren't trying to be offensive by putting Jesus in along with the Council of Nine (nine of the world's most revered imaginary characters), they were subtly pointing religions like Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and the like don't believe in Jesus.
** In Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, Jesus is considered a respected teacher and holy man, but he is not their Messiah. As a result, many of his qualities are presumed by them to be imaginary. This means that they ''imagined'' that was the case, hence, why he was in Imaginationland.
** For me, the fridge brilliance kicked in the moment I realized that Jesus would've fit in Imagination land one way or another, because Imaginary Jesus is based on a modern highly-fictionalised stereotype of how people think of Jesus rather than a real human being Jesus would've been...which also explains why Imaginary Jesus doesn't recognize the boys who he's met several other times through the series, if only in passing.
** What if Imaginary Jesus isn't actually based on the Jesus who once existed, but the Jesus people believe will [[SecondComing return?]] Now consider the fact that the scientists have been creating a portal that opens up a doorway into Imaginationland, [[FluffyCloudHeaven a world of wonder and joy gated off]] from [[{{Hell}} a world of intense evil]].

** I forget whether this episode or ''Go, God, Go!'' came out first but it works either way; here we go: In ''Go, God, Go!'' the Otter Tribe Elder is trying to talk his people out of religious genocide by proposing that believing in God makes him real. Cue ''Imaginationland''.

* In later seasons, especially in episodes like ''A History Channel Thanksgiving'' and ''Jewpacabra'', Kyle is extremely sceptical of anything supposedly paranormal or scientifically inexplicable. This is quite a contrast to Kyle in earlier seasons, being taken in by Blainetologists and John Edward and the like. Clearly his past experiences caused him to adopt a policy of rigorous scepticism and critical thinking. Though it does veer ever-so-slightly towards FlatEarthAtheist sometimes, given that he himself possesses concrete, first-hand knowledge of the existence of aliens, ghosts and cryptozoological animals.

* In "Free Willzyx" it seems very stupid for the boys to believe the wale was really talking and coming from the moon, but considering the weirdness happenening on a daily basis, like TalkingPoo and having multiple religious figures as superheroes, it's actually understandable they would believe the story about the whale.

* Why is Stan usually the leader of the group? We are going to look at WatsonianVersusDoylist. InUniverse, Stan is the oldest from the boys. Granted, not by much, but the other boys might still feel subconsciously or not like this gives him some authority and maturity. After all, the fifth graders are a threat to fourth graders. Of course, it's not just the age, Stan is WiseBeyondHisYears. So is Kyle, but unlike him Stan is way less impulsive, which can make him more calculated in certain situations and probably wins a little more respect too. Also, good leaders don't just give orders, they treat their followers with respect and are willing to listen to suggestions. When the boys have a plan, they usually work as a team to make the plan, it's just that Stan has a good understanding at his friends capabilities, thus he (usually) knows wich tasks fit them best.
Trey Parker, on which Stan is mostly based on, is the leader of the production team (excluding the influence that thee executives from Comedy Central have), so it makes sense that he would also make Stan the leader.

* How did Heidi loose all that fat she had gained in Season 21 by the time "The Problem With A Poo" aired. Well, she could have gone back to her vegan diet after finally realizing that Cartman had tricked her into eating meat. She could have also committed herself to daily exercises, making an effort to loose that weight.

* While Cartman almost always proves somewhat immoral and sociopathic behavior, is somewhat frightening if you think how he will be when he grows up and becomes an adult. If he has done one of the most sadistic and cruel acts in a TV series ever done (but played for laughs), as shown in "Scott Tenorman Must Die", as a child, imagine how inhumane he could be as an adult.

** proven true in "Doubling Down".

* In "Whale Whores" kenny stated he doesn't care if dolphins and whales get killed by the Japanese. This was wlays confusing to me, sure Kenny isn't without his faults and I understand him not trying to save them, but to not care at all if they die? He's not a sociopath. But here's the thing, he always dies and comes back to life, this very liekly influenced him to not care about the dolphins and whales. Luckily, as seen in "Cock Magic", Kenny started to care more for animal rights.

** The fact that we can't know for sure somehow makes it [[NothinIsScarier even scarier]].

* In T.M.I. Butters has the best penis size in his age group (of the Known boys; there are lots of boys on that list we don't know in the series). That proves the formula is right, and bigger penises make a guy happier! It's a genuine PetTheDog moment for him. Thanks for finally giving Butters a break, Matt and Trey!

*** That episode turned out to be all of Stan's dream. This could still count but it's unclear.

* The Whites' racist, abusive treatment towards their adopted son Alejandro causes him to snap and go on a terrorist spree around South Park. The police kill him, but the Whites have ''another'' adopted migrant child, even younger, treated just as poorly, and who has now seen his older "brother" killed for acting out against a world that treated him horribly. Who's to know what will become of ''him?''

* The name of the Canadian streaming service in the Season 23 episode "Basic Cable" is called Canadian Ploos. "Ploos" is the French-Canadian pronunciation of "plus."

** Also for the matter of what Whole Foods really is remember in "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes" when Stan and Kyle met the human personification of UsefulNotes/WallMart he said that hes not just Wall-Mart but he also works through other big named brands like Target, Whole-Foods Market is his newest incarnation it can't use Cartman as a pawn anymore because its selling health food but it remembered how week willed Randy is the reason it disappeared when Randy told it to was because they knew how too kill it.
