** ItsTheSameNowItSucks: "201" is on the Season 14 DVD/Blu-Ray release, but since Comedy Central refused to clear the original uncut version of the episode for home video release, it remains censored -- despite ''every other episode on the set'' going uncensored ("200" even has every use of Muhammad's name unbleeped). To account for this discrepancy, there is a disclaimer on the set that the episode is the version that aired on TV, and it includes the following statement from Matt & Trey:
---> In the 14 years we’ve been doing ''South Park'', we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all, but it got bleeped too.

Where it starts to get crazy is [[spoiler: they decide they need help, and after asking and being turned down by California, Japan, and whoever else, they decide that in dire situations, it is okay to turn to one's enemies for help.

As if that weren't enough, there is a medal ceremony thanking and honoring Bin Laden for his help, complete with kisses on the cheek and sentiments that "We're all just folk", which is interrupted by a commando dropping down from the ceiling and shooting Bin Laden in the head. After a beat, Randy triumphantly declares, "We got 'im."]] In effect, by the end of the episode the line has been crossed so many times that we as viewers have essentially lost count and aren't even sure what side of it we're actually on anymore.

Added DiffLines:
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Everyone knows it's Butters! The character was promoted to a major role (after being seen in group shots as a generic student for years) because Matt and Trey found his kindness and innocence heartwarming. Also, they needed a character to fill the absence of Kenny for season 6, and they wanted to write up scenarios where his father keeps grounding him for ridiculous reasons.
** Randy has gone from a relatively minor character to a very common character. The creators seem to like Randy for the "standard middle class white dad" guy, which is important in political parodies.
*** Chef for the first few seasons.
** The {{Goth}} Kids are sure to steal any episode they're in.
** Characters that only appear in {{The Movie}}, like Gregory and Christophe, have fanbases that are equal in size to those of reappearing characters.
** Same goes for single-episode characters such as Thomas and Bradley.
** Damien. And Pip for that matter.
** '''''TIMMY!!!'''''
** Mysterion became one almost the moment he showed up. Even after being revealed as Kenny, he's STILL one of the most talked about characters. In fact, Mysterion, before he was revealed, was such a major thing, that the South Park creators put out a ''Who Is Mysterion?'' t-shirt.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: "The Tale of Scrotie [=McBoogerballs=]" is about this trope. Their [[GrossoutShow intentionally disgusting]] book is hailed as the greatest piece of literature ever written because everyone who reads it (vomiting uncontrollably the whole way through) creates their own deep and profound symbolism for everything in it.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Oh, so very many. 'The Tale of Scrotie [=McBoogerballs=]' concludes that it's far too easy to [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory read one's own interpretation]] into books... [[OldMediaAreEvil so we should all stick to television instead]].
* FanNickname: The "Colored Screen of Death" for Kyle's speech at the end of "201", after what videophiles call the "White Screen of Death", which seemed to be pure NightmareFuel for those who watched to the end of a VHS tape from Paramount.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The Japanese fandom for this show is ''very'' large. It explains the increasing amount of {{moe}} [[{{animesque}} anime-style]] fanart out there.
** Its home fandom is large, too. It's ComedyCentral's highest rated {{series}} ever.

Amusingly, the directors' commentary for ''FLCL'' commented that ''South Park'' is as much a WidgetSeries to the Japanese as ''FLCL'' is to the US. It showed up again in Gainax's also-crazy series, PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt.
* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Some fans didn't like that they [[TakeThat made fun of]] ''{{Inception}}'' (or rather, [[ShallowParody a parody of it]]).
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: A good number of things that Cartman has done surely counts. "Scott Tenorman Must Die", anyone? That episode is a combination of NightmareFuel and many consider it to be Cartman's number one CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
** The Christmas Woodland Critters. Even the villains in a "Imaginationland" are disturbed by them.
--> '''[[FridayTheThirteenth Jason Voorhees]]''': Dude, I would ''not'' want to meet the kid that thought those things up!
** Kenny revealing, after ''fourteen'' seasons, that he remembers every single death... and that he has been severely traumatized because his friends never remember him dying. It turns out [[spoiler: he's the spawn of Cthulhu]].
--> I can't die. I've experienced death countless times. Sometimes, I see a bright light. Sometimes, I see Heaven or Hell. But eventually, no matter what, I wake up in my bed wearing my same old clothes. The worst part? No one even remembers me dying. I go to school the next day and everyone is just like "Oh, Hey Kenny," even if they had seen me get decapitated with their own eyes.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Considering the fact that ''all'' the protagonists suffer from some form of child abuse, this trope follows naturally.
* HilariousInHindsight: In "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls", Cartman describes independent movies as "gay cowboys eating pudding". 7 years later, Brokeback Mountain fills 2/3rds of that criteria. M&T even said in an interview "if there's any pudding eating, we will sue".
** In "Passion of the Jew", MelGibson is portrayed as an insane lunatic that loves torture. The recent tapes to his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva makes this exaggeration even funnier.
** "At least it doesn't get all preachy and up its own ass with messages, you know?": Once a [[TakeThatMe burn]] on ''South Park'''s descent into being more political than funny, it can now be applied to ''South Park'''s biggest rival ''FamilyGuy'', which was partially being defended with that line. ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg It can also, to a lesser extent, "The Simpsons,"]] but these days, ''TheSimpsons'' is set up like a SketchComedy in sitcom's clothing).
** In "The Coon," while Mysterion is fighting Professor Chaos, there is a moment where he gets knocked down for a few moments, and the crowd of people watching think he's dead. Fast forward to the episode "Mysterion Rises," where we find out that [[spoiler: Mysterion is Kenny, and is unable to die.]]
** Remember in the episode "Make Love, not Warcraft", wherein Butters said he prefers "Hello Kitty Island Adventure"? [[http://www.hellokittyonline.com/ About that...]]

* JustHereForGodzilla: [[MisaimedFandom A lot of people]] consider each episode a set up for [[TheyKilledKenny horribly, horribly mutilating that poor kid in the parka]], and loose interest immediately after the blood smears begin to dry.
** They've probably been really disappointed for the last decade or so.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Inverted. Kenny made such a habit of dying in every episode that now that they've more or less abandoned the gag, when they want to make the audience think someone's going to die, they stick Kenny in the situation to reinforce the possibility.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: Who ''didn't'' want to see Shelley and Trent Boyett fight each other?
* MoralEventHorizon: Most people label "Scott Tenorman Must Die" as either Cartman's CrowningMomentOfAwesome or securing himself as a CompleteMonster. Sometimes both. Cartman pretty much lives on the far side of it these days.
** Episode 201 makes it even worse.
** [[spoiler: Somehow, going BeyondTheImpossible when Cartman allies with Cthulhu. Sends his friends to another dimension, destroys synagogues, San Fransisco, and massacres innocent people at Burning Man. All the while thinking he's 'doing good'.]]
* NarmCharm: In later seasons.
* PeripheryDemographic: The show is ''extremely'' popular with young [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fangirls]] for some reason. Look up ''South Park'' on [[FanfictionDotNet Fanfiction.net]] or {{DeviantART}} if you don't believe me.

** Towelie is both an inner and outer universe example. Especially after [[FanonDiscontinuity A Million Little Fibers.]]
** [[AbusiveParents Stephen and Linda Stotch?]]
* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The only thing that stopped the episode ''Britney's New Look'' from being South Park's answer to ''Homer vs. Dignity'' was the anvil.
* TearJerker: "Kenny Dies." According to WordofGod, Parker and Stone wanted to see how far they could go in one episode without telling a single joke. Kenny's death is made all the more traumatizing by the way Stan and Kyle respond to it: as opposed playing the OnlySaneMan or TheSnarkKnight, as they do in almost every other episode, they act like two actual children who've never dealt with death before and don't know how to respond to it.
** Which elicited some laughs, simply because of the juxtaposition of "...they're mourning for the character who ''always'' dies?" But then you get to "Heat of the Moment", sung by Cartman of all people.
* ToyShip: Many, most canonically Stan and Wendy.
* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Butters, Kenny, and Cartman, within the dynamics of the main characters; but according to Craig, Stan and Kyle are also disliked by the town at large.
* TheWoobie: Butters. Stan also sometimes wanders into this territory for being the OnlySaneMan, among other reasons.
** "I don't think I'm a happy person. Every night I fall asleep to the sounds of my own screams... And every morning I wake up to the sounds of my own screams. Do you think I'm a happy person?"
** YourMileageMayVary, but Kyle could also be considered a Woobie, especially in ''Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo''.

* UnacceptableTargets: Muhammad. Parker and Stone went for lampooning the fact that he's not an acceptable target, instead (particularly because 5 years before the Muhammad taboo was back in the limelight, he had been depicted with no repercussion!). Of course, the second episode of their 200th anniversary two-parter had all mention of Muhammad's name censored by the network, along with the speeches at the end (which didn't even mention Muhammad.) Comedy Central went so far as pulling it from ever airing again - they won't even let it be streamed on the show's official website! You can find it [[http://xepisodes.com/southpark/episodes/1406/201.html here,]] but its being a TV rip means the bleeps are still in place.
