Cartman's 8 Most Inappropriate Moments
Cartman vs. Common Decency
After four seasons of Kenny dying with little reaction from his closest friends, the South Park crew decided to go in a different direction in this Season 5 episode by giving him a serious illness and a death worthy of a funeral. Cheerful! Cartman seems at first to be the most deeply affected member of the gang, even going to Washington to have the ban on stem cells lifted, ostensibly to help save Kenny. But his true intentions come to light, and, as usual, they’re simply awful.
Cartman vs. Well, Everyone
Season 13 recently ended in typically crass fashion, with Cartman crooning a song about his hatred of minorities, who he feels have overtaken his beloved water park.

I'm amazed how relevant (and sharp) the show still is. The recent episode about passed celebrities trapped on the jetway made its point better than any other.
ps: They took our jobs!

Just because it is animated does not mean the show is for children.....what kind of parent would let their child watch South Park in the first place?
I love the show though do think it occasionally misses the mark but then satire is not for everyone.
ps They took our jobs is one of my all time favorite South Park lines LOL

i hope you don't blame south park for the children who beat up gingers.
i hope you put the blame where it should be, on the parents. Not the parents who let their children watch south park. The Parents.

Not the parents who let their children watch South Park? Which parents, then? The parents of the soulless ginger-haired children, I assume. : -)

Who elses parents would I be talking about?

Having worked with youth involved in crime, I can say that it is often not too much of a surprise meeting the parents.
Bullying is a bit different though, but there are often real common traits. Often parents of bullies show these traits:
1. They will defend their kids against any allegation. "Our little _____ wouldn't do that!" The kid knows that any attempt to deal with his problem will have his parents angry and in the face of whoever brought the problem up.
2. The parents channel hate at home to 'deserving' groups who are below others. Invective and insults are directed at people, giving the message to the kid that some people deserve whatever they get. The humanity of everyone is definitely not taught.
3. A lack of any real moral grounding. "Might is right" is the basic argument. Instead of talking about how actions can affect people, they constantly hear things like, "I hope someone teaches him a lesson".
If your kid's grasp of basic morals is so untethered that they will take Eric Cartman as a role model, then you've almost completely failed the basic job of parenting. In absence of Southpark, someone else will take that position maybe for the worse.

well said cymatic

Of course South Park isn't for kids. There is something wrong with parents who do not know this. I have belly laughed many times at the show but as the mom of a beautiful red head little girl, this makes me sick.

Anyone else notice that "Gingers" is an anagram?
AlexHamilton
should have shown the "montage" from the handicapped ep... ahmazing. and i'm "ginger" so i'm allowed to find it funny, haha.

I would dispute only one point: that cannibalism in the Scott Tenorman wasn't accidental. Given that Cartman even had a song ready, how could it be?
sonofloud
agreed.....having scott tenorman eat his parents was cartman's goal all along
louiexiii
"ha ha ha ha ha ha, I made you eat your parents!"
BobbyTinGA
It was accidental on Tenorman's part. That's what DB meant.

It's a cartoon for christsake. American kids are so dumb and unable to choose what right what wrong after watching a cartoon? So instead of blaming on this South park, why don't you do better in parenting.
All these parents who shouldn't be having kids at the first place, the world is full of idiots.
cjackson
what IS right AND what IS wrong. Did you mean to start with "Are American kids so dumb that they are unable....?" because otherwise that question mark doesn't make sense, yet again, neither does the phrase "blaming on this South Park," or "kids at the first place."
Your right on one thing, the world IS full of idiots...
Thank you.
