Welcome to Canada Buddy!

This is a place for fans of South Park to discuss and enjoy the show, it's creators, and it's influence in pop culture, etc.

While standard rules still apply, as this is a South Park community, direct references to jokes that would be inappropriate in other contexts will be tolerated - within reason.

These episodes were censored (pulled from most streaming services) because of pushback against depicting a certain faith's leader by said faith's members. While this was not the first time South Park had done so, it was the first time members of said certain faith took notice.

The episodes wove together several fan favorite jokes and episodes into one coherent 2-part storyline -Super Best Friends, the Ginger army, Carman's hand persona, Mecha-Streisand... to name a few.

If you've never seen them they should be on the top of your watch list! If you have copies of them, digital or otherwise, I would strongly suggest holding on to them! (at the very least *wink *wink)

So I was rewatching the episodes listed in this video of Randy clips from season 1 -5 while researching my "Evolution of Randy" topic.

Matt and Trey say they hate Season 1-4... But they contain a lot of the world building and character development that we all love. Perhaps they feel they could do better, or wish they'd written the south park world differently?

The early seasons were more about life in south park, versus life in america. The lot of character defining events and backstories take place here. The boys, their parents, and their relationships are all defined in these early seasons. Jokes and tropes leaned towards relatable every day things instead of current events.

A lot is said about the newer seasons but, I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on the older seasons. Characters and backstories that tend to be forgotten. Or tidbits that people might have missed.

....

I'm anticipating my next post will focus on Randy & Sharon's relationship background. We saw in the recent, "Not Suitable For Children" that the two of them clearly have an inseparable bond; broken only by alternate timelines (Post Covid: Covid Returns).

I have some more research to do on that. Any comments related to them in the first seasons will certainly be food for thought.

Just came here to say this

Unfortunately there’s already a lot of South Park communities. Hopefully this won’t divide people too much

I just heard the original Kansas version of Carry On My Wayward Son on the radio... I had completely forgotten that the verse was accompanied by piano and not guitar.

As if playing and singing it wasn't enough... Randy either has the music theory to transpose it, the ability to learn it by ear, or the passion to find and learn it for himself.

That has really gotten me thinking about Randy's evolution as a character... and honestly why I made this community. More posts to follow.
