* EveryoneHasStandards: If you have [[HeroicComedicSociopath Cartman]] in your party and [[spoiler:crack open the giant Nazi fetus' head after defeating it]], he'll tell you that even ''he'' knows that's messed up. He's also the first one to tell you to never fart on anyone's balls, but there it's implied that doing so may have dire consequences ([[RunningGag You know what "dire consequences" are, right? They're like consequences, but they're dire]]).

* DungeonShop: [[spoiler:Right before the final battle with Princess Kenny, there is a shop in Clyde's Fortress who will sell you any items you need during the final battle, along with some exclusive Weapon Strap-Ons and Equipment Patches found only in that dungeon. The kid who runs the shop lampshades it when you first walk by:
-->'''Shopkeep:''' Welcome, weary adventurers! You know how before the big final boss fight of any game, there is a conveniently placed shop where you can stock up on health potions and arrows and stuff? Well, this is that shop.

* BlackComedy: You know the show? The one that [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crosses The Line Like Twelve Times]], indulges in DudeNotFunny like it's really funny, and is the epitome of VulgarHumor on television? Well, the game cranks it UpToEleven. For example, Cartman is the "Grand Wizard" of the [[FunWithAcronyms Kingdom of Kupa Keep]]. Even funnier in that one of the four starting classes is "Jew", which elicits "Looks like we'll never be friends, then" from Cartman.

The second time is the final level where a combined army of [[BadassArmy Humans, Elves, the Goth kids, the Girls, Pirates and The Federation]] defeat Clyde by helping you fight your way through his evil fortress.

''South Park: The Stick of Truth'' is a 2014 WesternRPG based upon [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark the show]], developed by Creator/ObsidianEntertainment. Much like the show itself, Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone have oversight over the project, writing the script and providing voiceovers for the characters. It was released on March 4, 2014 for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 3}} and [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]]. Another noteworthy point is how both the graphics, gameplay, even the user interface are meant to look as though they came straight out of the show.

* MoneyForNothing: Not ''nothing'', exactly, but through looting enemy bodies you can rack up all sorts of resources to keep you plenty stocked at almost all times (as well as finding new equipment, weapons, and enhancement patches in the same fashion). Finding that you can't pick up something just because you've already got the maximum number can be a frequent occurrence. Furthermore, VendorTrash is virtually everywhere so whenever you go to dump it, you can rack up a ton of cash. The only thing you really need to spend money on is consumables (and that assumes you weren't being prudent with what you're finding in the field) and consumables only typically cost a couple of dollars per item when you could be easily toting around over $500 just by collecting cash and selling junk.
