History SouthPark / TropesKToQ

* ObituaryMontage: There's a short that spoofs this trope in one MediaNotes/EmmyAward telecast. The montage is presented by the boys and brings Kenny (who dies OnceAnEpisode) up again and again. Apparently, God has died too. And then Kenny dies ''again'' when a setpiece crushes him.

* NixonMask: The "Chicken Fucker".

* NoDeadBodyPoops: Brought up in "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes" and also occurs in "The Return of Chef".
* NoEnding: "Fatbeard".

* NotSoAboveItAll: Stan and Kyle are hit with this every now and then.

** By this point, it appears that Kenny is the only one that has showcased routine common sense throughout the series. This is arguably lampshaded by Butters (of all people) in ''Going Native'' where, after [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewing out most of the others kids for their quirks]], claims that Kenny is the only one with "any sense of dignity."

* OneWingedAngel: The leader of the guinea pigs in "Pandemic" turns out to be [[spoiler:the Director of Homeland Security, whose true form is... a Guinea {{Pirate}}. What would happen if he he met a Guinea {{Ninja}} is not discussed.]]

* OneSteveLimit: There are several characters throughout the series that share names with others.

** There have been three different Scotts in the series; Scott Tenorman: a local teenager and enemy of Cartman, Scott Malkinson: a kid at South Park Elementary, and Scott the Dick: A rude Canadian who the rest of Canada hates.

** Clyde Donovan: a student at South Park Elementary and Clyde Frog: one of Cartman's dolls.

** Many references are made to the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} and UsefulNotes/XBox360, often in situations where the kids would usually just talk about VideoGames in general. In "Tonsil Trouble", Kyle [[spoiler:attempts to break everything that Eric owns, including his most treasured stuffed animal, but is stopped at his Xbox]]. Trey himself has mentioned "playing Xbox" as something he does during off-time, so this is almost certainly a case of expressing his choice of products through his work, much like the theoretical Dr. Pepper example.

* MeaningfulName: Ms. Information (say the name a few times) in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" lives up to her name, which almost gets Kyle killed from his illness since she suggested herbal medicine instead of traditional western medicine.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The beginning of "200" had Kyle and Cartman exchanging insults. Stan tells them to stop, saying "all you're doing is rehashing a bunch of old stuff!"

** In Cartman's anti-''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' rant, he explicitly compares himself as a character in a comedy show to the writing of ''Family Guy'', much to Kyle's confusion.
*** Also from that episode, when Stan and Kyle are dragged outside while everyone's panicking.

* LaResistance: In TheMovie, possibly the {{Trope Namer|s}}.

* ObituaryMontage: There's a short that spoofs this trope in one UsefulNotes/EmmyAward telecast. The montage is presented by the boys and brings Kenny (who dies OnceAnEpisode) up again and again. Apparently, God has died too. And then Kenny dies ''again'' when a setpiece crushes him.

* MurderByProxy: In "Scott Tenorman Must Die", part of Cartman's plan to get back at Scott involves him training one of Farmer Denkins' ponies to bite his dick off, leading Scott to tell his parents about it and have them go to the farm to talk things over. Little do they know that Denkins shoots trespassers on sight, and that Cartman had warned him about two "pony killers" that would be coming to his farm that night.

** Season 19 is one long story arc involving the new character "PC Principal", the gentrification of the town, and internet ads.

* PandaingToTheAudience: Or else they'd be a bunch of sad pandas.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: While Cartman has gotten with his crimes on many occasions, there are some episodes where he receives punishment for his actions and by the end of ''[[WesternAnimation/SouthParkPostCovidTheReturnOfCovid Post-Covid: The Return Of Covid]]'', he grows up to be a homeless, lonely, and miserable drunk, thus making his karma permanent in the future as punishment for all the bad things he did as a child.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Cartman. He doesn't ''always'' get what he deserves, but for the most part it hits him good and hard. And yet he never seems to learn his lesson.

* PeekABangs: Thad Jarvis from "Guitar Queer-O".

* OpinionChangingDream: In "I'm a Little Bit Country", Cartman specifically says he's "uninterested in American history", yet still has to contribute to the gang's book report. He decides to [[CrazyEnoughToWork give himself a "flashback" by rendering himself unconscious]], invariably putting him in a [[FieldTripToThePast dream taking place during the American Revolution]]. The dream gives him the information he needs to write his book report, which changes the entire town's opinion's about the war in Iraq.
