But you see you’re actually supposed to watch Season 1 episode 1 then Season 2 episode 3, then Season 5 episode 8, and finally Season 13 episode 21. Then you have an intermission. Then you watch Season 21 episode 13 followed by Season 8 episode 5, then follow that up with Season 3 episode 2 then end it with watching Season 1 episode 1 again. It’s like a totally different full circle experience and so meaningful. You gotta try it on shrooms too.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand South Park. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Kyle’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike South Park truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Kenny’s existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
