Do you consider South Park Bigger Longer And Uncut a comedy, a drama or a dramedy?

One one hand, there are people laughing at scenes like Cartman swearing in the classroom and the "Operation: Human Shield" gag, while others think its a serious drama with countless people, kids included, getting Cold-Blooded Torture and how Kyle's mom's antics is not treated the least bit humorously.

What's your pick?

People think it's a serious drama?

Fanfiction I hate.

Despite some dramatic scenes, it's a full-fledged comedy. I've never seen anybody refer to it as anything else.

Well, I understand that there are funny, but the M.A.C. is listed on South Park's Nightmare Fuel page and Sheila is listed as a Complete Monster and Knight of Cerebus on their respective pages.

Plus, the film has been compared to the dramedy direction the TV show is taking right now.

Anyone who calls Sheila a Complete Monster does not understand what that trope means. Her antics in the film are completely comedic, with the whole thing being a satire on the stereotypical censorship-happy attitudes of oversensitive parents.

Fanfiction I hate.

[up] Well, she is listed and described as such on several places on the wiki, very much like Plankton in The Sponge Bob Square Pants Movie.

That's only because people abuse the Complete Monster trope more than legitimate Complete Monsters abuse others. People do not seem to get this trope. Quite frankly, the wiki would be better off if we didn't even have a page for it.

That being said, I just call South Park Bigger Longer And Uncut what it is: A musical! cool

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Sheila is more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist. She's no monster.

Luckily, somebody seems to have removed her from the Complete Monster page.

Plus, the film has been compared to the dramedy direction the TV show is taking right now.

Who is doing this, exactly? I've never seen it.

No, the film is firmly in the vein of the pre-season 5 episodes, when there was nothing remotely serious. Even the tv show as is might have its sincere moments, but it's still far from being a "dramedy." Dramedy is stuff like Lars And The Real Girl or your schizophrenic teen dramas a la Glee. South Park, however, always the tongue firmly in the cheek.

Fanfiction I hate.

It's a comedy. They go straight into a Happily Ever After after Kenny goes to hell.
