* Season 10's "[[Recap/SouthParkS10E10MissTeacherBangsABoy Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy]]" calls out the DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale of many people's dismissive attitudes towards statutory rape when it is a woman - especially an attractive woman - abusing a young boy, specifically calling out the bullshit idea that the victim is somehow "lucky" for being abused. This trope has gotten more attention in the years since the episode came out, as more people are acknowledging that statutory rape is wrong regardless of the gender of the abuser or their victim.

** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS4E12TrapperKeeper Trapper Keeper]]", the class election subplot remains relevant thanks to America's escalation into extreme partisanship. The fact that this is about a kindergarten class's election for class president was also depressingly accurate of how some voters behave, as exemplified by the explosive reactions from the losing parties in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

* Season 10's "[[Recap/SouthParkS10E2SmugAlert Smug Alert]]" lampoons people who own hybrid automobiles and think they're saving the world just by driving a different kind of vehicle. As electric vehicles supplanted hybrids as the prime example of "green" cars in TheNewTens, the increased demand has led to a boom in mining of rare earth metals like lithium and nickel, which has environmental impacts of its own. Furthermore, electric vehicles still contribute to air pollution with particles from brake and tire wear and road erosion. These factors have led many environmentalists to argue that reducing automobile dependence is a better way to tackle the environmental impact of automobiles than simply replacing every gas-powered car on the road with electric cars.
