History SouthPark / TropesEToJ

** Strong Woman's ex-boyfriend "Heather Swanson", AKA Blade Jaggart. He's a garishly-dressed, roided-out JerkJock who declared himself transgender purely so he could compete in women's sports and get away with beating them up. If anyone tries to point this out, Heather accuses them of being transphobic and has them publicly vilified. Never mind that Heather made no attempt at getting a sex change before competing, which meant he had an unfair advantage over the other women (plus any genuine trans-women who had gone through months of hormone therapy before competing). When he's beaten by some 10-year-old girls at board games, Heather cries about how he was at a disadvantage due to being born a boy, showing that he's selective when it comes to his (fake) identiy.

* IAmNotMyFather: Stan in particular is pretty ashamed of his father most of the time and tries to avoid being like him, not that he always succeeds.
** To a lesser extent, Kyle is like this, but usually with his mother. [[{{Catchphrase}} "It's a Jersey Thing."]]

* FlatEarthAtheist: In the world of South Park, Jesus hosts a public access show; Satan has taken over the world, and God himself shows up for a verified, documented press conference. Despite all of this, atheists and agnostics still deny or doubt they exist.

* [[HateSink/SouthPark Hate Sink]]

* HauntedHouse: Randy buys a Blockbuster Video which has no customers because everyone now watches movies online. It is haunted like the Overlook Hotel in ''Film/TheShining''. After Randy sees a ghost dressed in a 1980's aerobics outfit ask for ''Film/TurnerAndHooch'' and disappear:

* HaveAGayOldTime: "The F Word" argues and advocates the notion that "fag" is no longer a derogatory term for homosexuals, but for loud, annoying douchebags. Like [[AcceptableTargets Harley riders]].

** And every few seasons, Kenny's muffled line in the song changes.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Played for laughs. In "Tsst", a group of television nannies try to correct Cartman's bad behavior before realizing what he is and giving up. ''Series/{{Supernanny}}'' is the last one to attempt it. Within three days she's confined to a psychiatric hospital where she spends most of her time eating her own excrement and sobbing uncontrollably while screaming "From Hell! It's from Hell!".

* GoodAngelBadAngel[=/=]PowerTrio: Nowadays there is a tendency for Kyle to act as the superego (good angel), Cartman to act as the Id (devil), and Stan be the ego. ([[PlayingWithTropes Played with]] frequently, however).

** One example is "Le Petite Tourette". Cartman fakes Tourette's Syndrome to get what he wants, and Kyle, who's known Cartman all his life, gets annoyed and says that he doesn't have Tourette's, and an authority figure that hears it accuses Kyle of being a bully and he is taken to observe various kids with Tourette's (with lack of swearing). He is then forced to apologize to Cartman. However, when Cartman plans to bad-mouth Jews, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back, so Kyle devises an elaborate plan that [[spoiler: actually saves Cartman from going in too deep]].

** The episode also has Kyle [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the [[Literature/TheBible story of Job]] by asking how the God who would punish a decent man just to prove a point to Satan could possibly be considered benevolent. It doesn't help that his parents forgot the last part of the story where God rewards Job, and gives him more than what Job had before he lost everything.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Kyle's cousin [[NamesTheSame Kyle]] comes to visit, Sheila appears to favor her nephew over her son, as she starts referring to Kyle as "[[DemotedToExtra Kyle Two]]".

* ISeeDeadPeople: Or "Dead Celebrities".
