History Recap / SouthParkS15E7YoureGettingOld

** Rather notably, the episode also deconstructs deconstructions themselves by pointing out how a person being unable to keep their opinions to themself would be widely viewed as an obnoxious, cynical, and opinionated {{Jerkass}} who judges everyone [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike for liking things they don't]] and spends all their time complaining about pointless stuff. Indeed, nearly all of Stan's problems come from the fact that he refuses to consider that ''other people'' might actually like the stuff he constantly bitches about.

'Cause I built my life around you\\

* TraumaSwing: During the SadTimesMontage, Stan is seen despondently sitting on the swing set at school, all alone.

It's Stan's tenth birthday, and his view of the world has literally turned to shit (as in, "Everything he sees is feces"). Things get worse when his friendship with Kyle crumbles and his parents divorce again (see "[[Recap/SouthParkS2E12Clubhouses Clubhouses]]" for the first time they divorced).

'Cause I built my world around you\\

* ToiletHumor: This episode is full of it, from Stan's view of the world to Randy creating songs that involve him shitting his pants.

* DownerEnding: Stan's parents divorce, his friendship with Kyle disintegrates, and his cynicism shows no signs of improving.

* WhamEpisode: It's a ''lot'' more serious than the usual ''South Park'' episode that isn’t [[Recap/SouthParkS5E13KennyDies Kenny Dies]]. Stan's cynicism alienates him from his friends, Sharon and Randy divorce (again), and Stan and his family move away, with seemingly no sign of improvement in their lives.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Stan's symptoms for [[TheCynic Cynicism]] include all five of his senses interpreting things as shit. Music to him sounds like someone shitting themselves, food tastes like shit, even people talking to him is sometimes swapping to farting noises with turd flying out of their mouths.
